San Diego's biggest draw for locals and visitors alike are the beautiful beaches. During the summer and autumn months, the surf is relatively gentle, with warm waters in the 70s. Swimmers, snorkelers, scuba divers, kayakers and surfers can enjoy the golden sands of La Jolla Shores, the Cove and Windansea. And be sure to keep an eye out for migrating whales off the coast as they travel to and from Baja California.

Overall we enjoyed our stayed and found the house to be in a great location. The only reason we are giving 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the comfort of the beds. We found the beds to be very uncomfortable and the bed frame of the king bed very noisy.

Here for graduation. Space was good 3 bedrooms two baths but one bedroom is converted garage space so configuration is a bit awkward as you can access one bedroom from outside or through another bedroom. Also laundry located outside the house.

We had an enjoyable week at the house. it was comfortable and in a very quiet neighborhood. The neighborhood was very walkable and close to all the major San Diego attractions. A couple of improvements would make this property a 5-star: The king-size bed needs a new firmer mattress and maybe a new frame that doesn't creak. The master bath needs some oil on the hinges so it doesn't squeak during night visits. Also, we couldn't figure out how to disable the auto-on light for night visits. in the kitchen, we also couldn't figure out how to increase the brightness on the oven controls. it is hard to set the oven temperature. Other then these items, great stay.

Great South Park Location

This house has an amazing walkable location while still being very quiet and peaceful. We loved the back patio overlooking the canyon. Overall a very nice house but a major con were the king and queen beds. They were ridiculously creaky - like loud screeching sounds every time you get in, out, or move around in bed. Given the price and quality of rest of the property, they need to replace these beds ASAP!

Location, location, location!

Central to everything we wanted to do: every time we mapped a route it was a 15-minute drive. Fantastic view over a small canyon made the back patio feel private. Slightly awkward access to 3rd bedroom. Could use more silverware. No sign or smell of previous pet guests. Ample parking on a quiet street, which was good as we had an F150 4-door. Driveway on the small side. If Balboa Park's attractions are on your to-do list, this is the house for you.

New Favorite Rental!

Beautiful location and house. Walkable with kids to restaurants, bookstore, shopping. Super clean and well-cared for.One bedroom can only be accessed through another bedroom or the patio entrance and there’s a step down to the second bathroom. Also, there wasn’t a room with twin beds like in the listing — king sized room and two queen bedrooms. Would stay again.

Great place in South Park

The house was exactly as described. The property manager was great with communication and was really forthcoming with information, I only had one question during the 7 days we were there. They provided a LOT of supplies that many other properties have not; including tons of toilet paper, paper towel, dish tabs, etc. The house was a great fit for us.

Family time

We met our family and had a great visit. The location was central enough for us to do everything- deep sea fishing, mall shopping, the zoo and sea world. We even brought our own electric scooters and road to some close breweries in the neighborhood. The house was big enough for us to hang out and relax after long days. We all slept great and were very comfortable. I wish the outdoor patio furniture was a little more comfortable, it’s a wonderful area but not for a long period.
