This is the cutest property! We were a party of 3 for a wedding in Lakeside. The location is really convenient regardless of where you want to go in the San Diego area. The property manager was very responsive and answered my questions quickly. We were very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. Thank you for your hospitality!

Cute Tiny House

The hosts were helpful and accomodating. I enjoyed the location as it was close to the highway and only 30 mins from the beaches. The tiny house is cute and clean with all the amenities and still has a sense of privacy on the shared lot. I would stay there again!

The perfect stay for two lovebirds

The location is in a quiet neighborhood just past San Diego. The hosts, Kyle and Angie were very kind and more than willing to accommodate to our needs. The space was clean and well furnished, not to mention beautifully decorated. My partner and I could not have asked for more! While small, it is the perfect amount of space for one or two people to stay for a few days. Definitely recommend this property!

Charming little Lakeside Hideaway!

We stayed two nights in the tiny house and really enjoyed it. We were in Lakeside to visit family and this was a great little escape when we needed a break! Kyle and Angie were very easy to work with and responded quickly. We are dog people and loved meeting their dogs too! It was great having a dedicated off street parking spot. A nice a peaceful spot close to the middle of everything. We will stay again next time we're in town! Thank you!

Property was very accessible. Behind the owners house and a big Privacy fence so very private. Host supplied everything you need to cook or bbq outside. Bed And loft very comfortable. I was In Town for a family milestone party it was less than 2 miles of where my family was. Great price!!!! I highly recommend for anyone wanting a great place at a great price!! I will for sure be back in the future if it is still available!! Thanks Angie & Kyle!!

San Diego Vacation

I think the owners rushed to get it rented out. The portable air conditioner did not keep the place cool. The water would not stay warm/hot for a shower. No washrags. A lamp would have been nice instead of the all over lighting when lights were on. Many cobwebs in the upper windows.

The hosts are lovely people but their property is not. Parking was ok but the homeless man outside was not great. After walking thru the broken gate to a sloping dirt path covered in weeds to the turf grass with several piles of dog poop was not good. The unit was cold and the only way to adjust it was to climb up the loft ladder, there was no remote. To take a shower, you needed to turn the kitchen faucet on hot and then shower. There is no storage, the bed is a twin, there's nowhere to sit. I did not stay and had to book elsewhere. Was not a good description of what you have to endure at this location, especially being an older person.

Cute tiny house in quiet neighborhood

Great responsive hosts. I got in later than I had planned and they still waited for me to arrive to give me a tour and answer any questions. The place had everything I needed for my short stay. The bed was comfy and I appreciated the extra blankets since it did get a little chilly at night. It was fairly hot that weekend so the tiny house did get a little stuffy. Note: since the tiny house doesn't have a/c, keeping the portable fan on while out helps out. My biggest complaint was trying to get the shower temp the right temp. The water was cold even when turning the knob all the way to hot. The trick with turning the sink water on made the shower water way too hot so I ended up showering in cold water. Overall, a good stay since it was a quick 15min drive to where I needed to go

Terrific Tiny House

Great stay! I was in town for a celebration of life event and after hours of delays from the airlines, I arrived to find the car company I was supposed to get my rental with had already closed for the night. I had been in communication with the property managers to keep them updated and upon hearing this news, the landlord offered to pick me up from the airport so I wouldn’t be stranded -/talk about hospitality!!! That was just the kind gesture I needed after a wearying day of travel. In the end, I was able to get another vehicle but the sincere offer was huge! The tiny house itself was just as advertised. Everything was nice and cozy and the blankets smelled so good! The kitchenette had all the basics (cutlery, plates, bowls, etc) with spices, coffee, tea, microwave and toaster too. Easy additions to become a super host, I would recommend the property managers add some fruit or granola or something to the kitchen. The bathroom was well stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair dryer, TP, and towels (regular and makeup towel); it would be more efficient/less water wasteful if the sink didn’t have to be running for the shower to get hot water. Overall, great stay, convenient location for my needs, basically lakeside, and would definitely look to book here again if/when I come through!
