Good amenities, plenty of sleeping space, great location, and easy to communicate with the owner. Only issue was that it gets a bit warm in the upstairs bedrooms throughout the day from all the windows, but there are plenty of fans to help with that. Would 100% stay here again.

Nice house!

We had a family dinner here (all guests in their 30s and 40s+) and the location was great! The home was very clean with a beautiful outdoor space. My one issue was the host accused us of having a party and being loud, which was uncalled for as the house next door was full of college kids who were being loud and disrespectful to the neighborhood. I didn’t appreciate being accused of something like this especially on the night before my wedding where I was trying to have a relaxing evening with close friends and family. I think the host could have properly investigated before texting, calling AND messaging me. She did apologize, but naturally this did taint the experience. Otherwise- great stay and I had no issues with the listing, only the host’s accusatory communication style.

Wonderful spot

This is a beautiful property that is well located for so many activities in the san diego area. The yard is spacious, containing some hammocks, a hot tub, and a view from the top of a mountain towards mission bay. The kitchen had everything we needed and there is a bbq outside for grilling as well. The pool table isn't perfectly level, but the living room was spacious even with the table in there. Loved this stay, thank you Nichole!
