Carnegie House
Overall the house and neighborhood were good, clean and safe. However, there was construction work in the back of the yard so workers were constantly coming and going. The gates were left open and our dog almost ran out of the yard. Also, our dog barked when she heard workers coming into the yard and going down to the construction site. This was frustrating and ruined our sense of privacy. I told our host this construction issue was a problem and we should have been told in advance workers would be coming and going and entering the yard which we were trying to enjoy. We are disappointed and will not stay there again.

Wonderful Home
This rental was perfect for us. There is a lot of room inside and out and lots of activities for young kids. The outdoor area furniture was comfy and the firepit was used each night. The rooms are good size and having three bathrooms made it much more enjoyable. You cannot ask for a better location in regard to groceries, beach, downtown, etc. This was one of the best rentals we have ever had, and we've had quite a few. Thank you to Ariel for her prompt replies and staying in communication with us. It was a wonderful home, and we enjoyed it a lot.

Great kids house
We had 4 adults and 2 children, 2 and 4. This property is excellent for kids. The backyard is a playground with a playhouse, etc.There are children's books. There are children's toys. There is a full set of beach toys. There is a kids bedroom with bunk beds. It is located less than 20 minutes from the airport, from the SD Zoo, from Sea World, from the beach and 30 minutes from Safari Park. We could not have asked for a better property for our vacation in San Diego.

Exactly what we expected
After the Vrbo we booked months in advance cancelled on us three days before our trip to San Diego, we were so lucky to find this property. Great location, huge playground area for the kids, lovely patio areas and everything else you’d expect from the listing. We had a great stay!
