Easy with our 3yr old

Stayed here with our 3 year old, who loved eating outside and running around the fenced backyard. It’s a 15 minute walk from a great playground as well.The property was as described: clean, quiet, safe. Maricarmen was also a great host: clear, timely communication.

THE BEST property for my family and dogs!

Maricarmen was an amazing host and right next door if any issues arose! Her property was ready for pets with a covered couch and a fenced in yard. We are military moving to a new location and had just moved out of our most recent home and she was there to help our transition with a fully equipped home. Plenty of parking space for our 2 big Toyotas! Overall, GREAT stay and it was exactly what we needed

Amazing space in a great location!

Very spacious and a great layout with a fantastic private yard! Wish we had more time to hang out at the house and take advantage of the full kitchen! Will definitely plan to book here again next time we are in town!

Giraffe house

all the comfort of home but we missed the lack of cable network for watching live football and hockey.. Very nice interior theme with giraffe cuteness throughout.

Pleased with our choice to stay at the Giraffe House

Our stay at the Giraffe House was a very enjoyable one. The home is beautifully decorated and furnished quite well. We were very impressed by our host and her home, and we do intend to stay there again if we’re ever in the San Diego area. We are a family of four and this was a perfect fit for us.

Great Place to Stay

We were very pleased with our stay here. The house was very well equipped and clean. The kitchen had everything you could possibly want and Maricarmen also provided the little extras in the bathroom that you may have forgotten to pack. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of pillows which was nice because we both use more than one pillow at night. The living room furniture had a reclining sofa which we really appreciated since that's what we are used to in our own home. We didn't bring a pet, but pets are welcome and she even provided food and water dished for your pet. I would definitely recommend this home for you next trip to the San Diego area.

Great accommodations for family vacation

The Giraffe House provided perfect lodging for a little family vacation over Christmas. The property was clean and comfortable, and it was clear the owner has put effort into maintaining and updating the rental. We found the kitchen and linens to be well stocked, adding to the homey feel. Maricarmen communicated needed information regularly and responded promptly to questions. If in the area we would stay at this property again.

Very enjoyable

We enjoyed our stay very much! The apartment was cozy and quiet. After long days exploring San Diego, it was nice to come back to a spot to relax. The host was friendly and attentive. And checked on us to make sure we checked in and out safely. Because we have family who live in San Diego, we will be visiting often. I will definitely recommend to other family members and hope to stay again outselves.

Great Stay

We had a great stay at Giraffe house. We loved how comfy and spacious it was, and the cute decor. The property was as described. One person was in a wheelchair and the house had enough room to maneuver. There was just two small steps at the front door. The hosts were able to address any problems that arose. The area was nice and close to many stores, restaurants and sites. We had a fantastic time.

Thank you for everything!

What a crazy time to be away from home! Maricarmen was accommodating every step of the way. Her home is comfortable and the back and front yards are a tranquil gem. Thank you for helping keep my parents safe. They were thrilled to spend the winter close to their new grand daughter.

San Diego Trip

Our hosts were great. Communicated well with us and provided what we needed. The home was well kept and clean. The neighborhood made us a little uncomfortable. We could smell marijuana coming through the windows a few times at night and one evening we came back to a group of men gathered down the street that made us a little uncomfortable. But the property itself is back behind homes and secluded enough that we weren’t overly worried.

Giraffe House Meets all Your Needs

Maricarmen's Giraffe House has everything a small party might need to visit the San Diego area. Maricarmen was an excellent hostess. She arrived when needed but was unobtrusive and always helpful. The property is secluded off the main road with two good sized bedrooms (large closets), a living room and an exceptional kitchen. The back and front yards have been obviously curated with plants and vegetation. Both front and back outside areas are restful and private. Perfect for relaxing. There is only a single bathroom that is nice and fully functional but could be an issue for bathroom intensive parties. However, the hot water never, ever, ran out and we were a party of three showering every day. Honestly, looking at the picture of the Giraffe House makes me miss it already.

Wonderful!

The accommodations are absolutely perfect and affordable. We did not do any cooking to speak of but the cabinets were well stocked with spices, coffee, dishes, pans etc. Actually anything you would need to prepare meals. More than plenty paper goods which is rare these days. Usually you get 1 roll of toilet paper and 1 roll of paper towels and maybe a couple trash bags. They went over and above on supplying these items which they deserve an A+ rating for. The neighborhood is very easy to navigate but also close to the sights that we were seeking to take in. We had a wonderful vacation and I attribute part of that to the outstanding accommodations. We would like to make another trip to San Diego and if we do this will be the unit I will try to rent.

AMAZING!

Pictures don’t do this place justice! It was such a cute 2 bedroom. This place with fully stocked with kitchen supplies, spices, toiletries… full size shampoo and conditioner… extra toothbrushes… everything! There was coffee & tee available to make. The beds were so very comfortable! And the couches were so comfortable, so many nights where one of us fell asleep on the couch! TVs in all the rooms, plenty of parking and a washer and dryer WITH DETERGENT! Also cleaning supplies and extra supplies If needed in their garage. The backyard was cute as well as the front. I know people mentioned the neighborhood looking sketchy but NEVER once did we feel scared. It was actually super quiet!! It was just us two moms with our two 9 year old baseball boys. We met the neighbors: next door, in front and one on the side with the pool (we stayed for 7 nights). If you rent a Tesla there is a super charger station very close and a lot of restaurants near by! We also met and were in constant communication with MariCarmen our host. She was also so very very sweet and open with communication. We asked for an ice-chest and she had one available in less then 30 mins. I cannot stress enough how wonderfully our stay was. We travel a lot and this was by far my favorite little place. I hope to come back to visit!
