Great getaway from the desert heat retreat!
The house itself is absolutely lovely and was perfect for what we needed for our short vacation away from the summer heat of the Coachella Valley. I would give this place five stars across the board had it not just been for two things that I wish the owners would consider fixing. One, is there is absolutely no privacy with the front door. It is glass and you can see straight out to the street/sidewalk and vice versa. It is a busy street and a lot of families, people walking their dogs, etc. so if you’re sitting in the living room or really anywhere on the first floor, they can look directly in and see what you’re doing. They should definitely think about putting some sort of privacy film, or even some kind of a curtain on the front door for some added privacy . Upstairs, in the primary bedroom, it would be great to have either blackout curtains or some kind of sunblocking shade on the wondows. Unless you’re someone who likes being woken up by a lot of sunlight in the morning, you’ll need to bring something to cover the windows with. Other than that, the house was absolutely perfect and would definitely stay there again.

Family Time
In San Diego for family reunion with the house location close to everything. Even able to walk to near by markets and grocery store. As well as cafes and nightlife. As the description mentions that there is traffic noise which wasn’t an issue for us. Only issue for me, is to have a covering/blinds on the front door for privacy. Since a lot of walking traffic in the neighborhood. Overall, very cozy and comfortable, especially with air conditioning available.. I visit SD frequently sine all my family lives here so I would definitely stay here in the future.

Beautiful and spacious home
We had our family ( 2 adults, 2 kids) stay at this property and we absolutely loved it. They responded within minutes every time I had a question and the home was extremely clean when we arrived. My wife and I have always had something go wrong when we book some thing and this is the first time everything was perfect. The bathrooms were huge and everything worked great. Bedrooms Were extremely comfortable! It’s a cute and quiet little neighborhood. We will try to book this place again when we stay in San Diego!

Great place for two families
We stayed with 4 adults and a 1,2, 3 year old. The place was stocked well with everything we needed in the kitchen, very little human friendly with little “baby proofing” needed. Great host communication from the company. You can tell this is their job and they do it well. The location was great to get to all the things we wanted to do and the kiddos loved running around in the fenced in front yard. Not a flaw on their part, but we did notice the gas stove knobs to be VERY touchy, and often turned them on on accident when reaching into the microwave or bumping them walking past. Just something to be mindful of when staying here. We highly recommend the property and will stay again if we ever venture back to SD.
