This home was perfect for our week-long family vacation. Great location with some nice restaurants, shops, gym etc in walking distance. the house was stocked with plenty of amenities including a playroom filled with plenty of great toys, books, high chair, stroller, etc for our little kids to use. They also had beach chairs umbrellas and wagon for the beach. A plus (and minus) is its proximity to the airport- only about 10 minutes away but right under the flight path so during the day planes fly over about every 10 minutes and its pretty loud. Our host was very helpful and responsive to any questions we had during the stay. All in all it was a great trip and we would definitely come back again!

Mid week stay for wedding at Japanese Friendship Garden
This property was awesome! Perfect for our family and a great location for us to easily attend a wedding at the Japanese Friendship Garden. The house is beautiful, clean, well maintained, very nicely updated. Our kiddos loved playing in the pool! The living space was large and wonderful for accommodating our group. We all enjoyed the outdoor space as well! Would definitely stay here again!!

Beautiful home, incredibly accommodating for families with lots of great amenities and small touches. The host was incredibly communicative and we had a wonderful stay there with our toddler, they made it easy so that we didn’t have to bring a portable crib or highchair and had a wonderful toy room with activities for the kids as well. Highly recommend, clean, lovely neighborhood and wonderful stay

Beautiful San Diego House
I rented this house for my bachelorette party and it very comfortably housed 9 girls. The house was perfectly clean upon our arrival and was so cute! The backyard provides additional living space so there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The house is also in a very cute neighborhood and was walking distance to some restaurants and coffee shops. As great as the house was, the thing that really stood out was the host! We had all sorts of requests during our stay and she was incredibly responsive and accommodating. I really felt that her service went above and beyond and I would absolutely book this house again in the future.

Great house and location, but best for a smaller group.
Overall my stay was great, and the house itself is beautiful, however I primarily booked the house because it listed it was able to accommodate 12 guests, and unfortunately this wasn't exactly accurate. We had 12 adults, and luckily we brought an air mattress, otherwise we would have been a bit screwed. One person had to sleep on the couch. The only way to fit 12 would have been if we put 3 people in each king bed, and 2 on the futon/sofa bed, but this isn't ideal especially for 12 adults.
We also got unlucky that the group before us broke the large glass door, so we were unable to use that feature to open up the house (not the homeowners fault of course, but was still a bummer).
Also, for EV charging, make sure you bring a 120 volt adapter as all there is is an outdoor outlet to plug into.
Host was very communicative and helpful throughout.
Thanks again!

Fantastic stay!
This place was perfect for our family getaway! The pool was a huge hit with our littles and the well stocked kitchen and playroom made for a smooth stay. Also, the close walk to Starbucks was amazing! Only thing that would have been nice would have been a lock on the master bedroom door. Otherwise, great location, & beautiful home!
