Not bad but I’d chose a different location next time

The house provided everything we needed but was missing the X factor. The pool was too cold to enjoy to its fullest. The space provided was excellent. Beds were comfortable. Shower temp and pressure were great. Kitchen had everything we need. Floors were very dirty - could not walk around with bare feet without turning feet black. The request from owners to not be outside at all before 9 am or after 9 pm seems unreasonable. Hubby and I love a cup of coffee or glass of wine outdoors at these times. Walls were a sterile unwelcoming white and all furniture seemed IKEA. Just not very homey. We loved the games in the garage. The biggest drawback was the location. Far from beach and houses were tightly packed. It was convenient to attractions like the zoo. I wouldn’t stay here again but it served us just fine.

Nice location, Great amenities

Really nice black bottom pool that stayed really warm, the backyard is sheltered from the wind and gets nice sun throughout the day. The game room was super fun for our kids and the property is well appointed. It didn’t have wine glasses and I sent the property manager a note asking if they were somewhere I couldn’t see and they dropped off some new ones since they weren’t there, same day. Comfortable beds and plenty of towels too

Ultra Relaxing Setting

This house was perfect for our family vacation. We enjoyed that it was nestled into a quiet neighborhood but minutes away from all the great places that San Diego has to offer. The features of the house were well designed for relaxation. We enjoyed the open floor plan which was very attractive. The house was very well equipped. Our favorite space was the beautifully landscaped backyard. It had lots of privacy and the pool was a so extremely pleasant.

Accurate, clean and all the supplies for a great stay

Great property, had coffee, spices and all the essentials that you don't want to purchase. Plenty of nice linen and overall great space to chill. NOTE: The pool was too cold even for my Michigan kids. Know that it is advertised as solar heated, which doesn't get it above 65 during the winter months. Still, great place! Thanks.

Going to San Diego? Stay Here!

This place is amazing! It had everything I needed for my family. A beautiful backyard area to grill and chill in the sun and pool. A large kitchen area to cook and enjoy meals as a family and to even work. Powerful, reliable internet - enough to satisfy my teenager's thirst for data and my work requirements! The location is central to everything in San Diego - restaurants, beaches, attractions, and sits in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. I highly recommend this property for families or anyone else looking to escape the cold and work in a great city!!
