Excellent house and location

If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay within 20 minutes of most everything in San Diego this is your spot. The house had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. The property manager, Kent, met us when we checked in and was easy to get a hold of when we had questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Stay here!

The house is extremely comfortable in every way. Furniture/Bed are good. Kitchen/Bath are well stocked. We were there in March & the weather was quite cool so we had the fireplace on every night. Made the living area toasty!Part of the attraction is the quiet neighborhood the house is in. In walking distance of groceries & restaurants of all kinds. Close to Balboa Park. Other attractions are not far via freeway. Property manager was very helpful in orienting us to the area. I can recommend this house without hesitation!

A trip to remember

This VRBO was in the perfect location. Close to everything! It was the best spot for two couples who wanted to see the sites. The hosts had everything we needed and more. The deck was awesome and the lime/lemon trees were the best surprises.

Perfect property for our trip to San Diego. Kent was a fine host and very accommodating. Met us at the house for an early check in and provided all the info we needed for local eats and treats. The house was exactly like the listing and had all we needed. Very centrally located for all our sightseeing and exploring. Would certainly use this place again if we ever visit the area again.

Very quiet, comfortable, ample dishes, utensils, appliances, nice deck to enjoy wine from the Vons (amazing selection) 2 blocks away, along with cheese from the cheese shop in walking distance. Or enjoy the donut shop across from Vons. Kent was very responsive. All-in-all an outstanding base from which to enjoy San Diego. Or just to hang out.

This property is exactly as shown, and the deck is just as cute and cozy as it looks in the pictures. EXCELLENT location with everything within easy walking distance and quiet at night, perfect for walking/running. House is clean, well-appointed, nice bathrooms, and furniture is good quality and in great shape.
