This was by far the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. Stocked well with all necessities, very quiet and we were never without something to do. The host response, beginning with our booking was always a quick turnaround. The only issue we had was the hot tub didn’t work but everything else was fantastic. We plan on returning again! Thank you for making our family vacation one to remember.

The house was amazing. Such a wonderful space for hosting a group of friends/family. The patio space is huge. With lots of space to hang out or spread out. The grill worked really well. The beds were as good or better than other rentals I've stayed at. Just overall an incredible find. Only small complaint was that the management company could be a little slow to respond. We didn't really have any issues past the first day though, so it wasn't a problem.

This house is stunning!!! It’s even better than the pictures and had everything we needed and more. It’s in a great location yet you don’t even need to leave the house if you don’t want to. Beaches and great restaurants are a quick drive and the house is equipped with tons of games, a BBQ outside and the perfect pool so you can really enjoy the home. It truly feels like your own oasis :) My family and I had the best time, thank you for a great stay! Can’t wait to come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Loved that the location was close to all the attractions and restaurants we were interested in visiting. The kids and adults loved the pool and games in the outdoor area. The outdoor area is also very well designed with different zones. The home is set up so guests can easily be all be together in the main entertaining area. The island is large and has a good amount of seating. I feel like the owners really put thought into all aspects of the rental property for ease of usage.

Amazing Vacation Getaway

Our group and I came in on the first weekend of December for a bachelor trip and couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! The location is central to just about all of the top things to do in SD, while also being ridiculously gorgeous and packed with stuff to do. The backyard with the pool, spa, bonfire, etc. is EXACTLY as it looks in the photos. You literally cannot go wrong with staying here.

A perfect place for all 10 of this family!

We are a family of 10, from the ages of 8-88. The location is ideal for coming and going to all the activities, hikes, beaches, balboa park, zoo, restaurants and an easy trip to the airport. While here at the home base there was always fun to be had with the pool, hot tub, outdoor fire place, ping pong and more. My only advice is be sure to read the “other things” for the extra fees for heating the pool and hot tub.
