Wonderful VRBO. Communication with the owner was great. The place was really nice and updated. Full kitchen, full-size washer and dryer, and a place to park. Separate entrance with a lockable gate for privacy.

This is the best Vrbo yet!
This house is located perfectly in San Diego, short drive away from the beach and many restaurants. The house was very clean, nice private turf back yard. This was a nice get away from everyday life! Can’t wait to come back!
