This was the perfect little home away from home. Jeff was so easy, friendly and kind to work with. It is centrally located to mission beach, SeaWorld and our new favorite restaurant (Farmer’s Table). A great escape from the AZ heat!!!

Nice
Nice little place to stay. Yard was beautiful and the hot tub was a nice bonus. Wish we had had the time to enjoy the barbecue. Neighborhood had lots of little places to eat..especially if you like Mexican and Thai food. First time with a vacation rental and it was a great experience.

I’d stay here again
This little casita is really cute and comfortable. It has access to a lovely backyard with fruit trees, shaded sitting area and a hot tub. We were able to bring our dog so the yard was an added feature. It is conveniently located to a freeway. Highly recommend.
