Nice stay
Good stay, property as described. FYI for future renters, construction is underway next door starting at 7am weekdays. We were up by 7 daily so were ok, but would be difficult to sleep in while underway.
Beds were very comfortable. House was clean and well equipped. Location was great for my needs doing last minute holiday shopping and visiting family nearby. Walked to a pickle ball facility. Had an issue with the door code when I arrived and it was resolved within minutes. Nice view. Off street parking was a plus. I'd stay here again.

Peaceful with views
Joel and Cindy‘s home is wonderful. The enclosed backyard was private and allowed our pooch to feel extra comfortable. The sunsets and views of the ocean are incredible. We were very comfortable.

Friends Getaway
My group had a great time at the house! Everything was clean. Owners answered questions quickly. I also love that there were extra curling irons in the bathroom because someone in my group forgot theirs. We will stay here again if we ever get out this way again.

A perfect stay
My husband, fur babies and I thoroughly enjoyed our second visit to Hope House. The calm and peaceful feeling of the House welcomes you as soon as you open the door. It is thoughtfully furnished with everything you may need and the beds are super comfy. You can sit on the front patio to enjoy the sea air or on the back patio for a few quiet moments. The location provides easy access to everything San Diego has to offer, The host is a great communicator and readily accessible. Perfect.
