We had a wonderful week at this property. Lots of space for our large group to gather or to seek quiet time. Mo was very quick to respond to any questions we had and was very pleasant to work with. The weather was cool for us, so many in our group took advantage of the hot tub and fire pit. Would highly recommend this place for your next stay in SoCal!

This home was absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations! It was clean, spacious, and incredibly well-equipped — the labeled cabinets and drawers were a thoughtful touch that made everything easy to find.We had 8 adults and 7 kids in our group, and there was plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. The backyard felt like our own private resort — we spent lots of time in the pool and jacuzzi, with space for both play and downtime.The hosts were responsive, communicative, and helpful throughout our stay. The location was stunning and not far from restaurants and stores. We visited the San Diego Zoo and Old Town, which were just about 30 minutes away.We would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for large families or groups!

Best place ever!
This house came exactly as advertised. It was the perfect place to come back to after a day of exploring the San Diego area, whether just to lay around and relax or enjoy the limitless activities in the yard. The hosts were quick with responses to any questions we had and seemed willing to do whatever else it took to keep us happy with the booking. If I’m ever back here I wouldn’t hesitate booking this house again!

Great House, neighborhood and location!!!
The house was great and super well stocked with everything we needed! The only thing I would have changed would have been the gym equipment, it was extremely old and outdated.
The outdoor space was incredible! The pool was huge and the house had tons of outdoor activities for adults and kids.
Beds were comfortable as well which was a bonus!

Resort-Like Property
We had a lovely stay. The home was large with resort-like grounds that easily accommodated 11 of us. Everyone loved the heated pool and hot tub, and we all had plenty to do since the house was stocked with games and activities. We also found the location convenient for groceries and other conveniences (shopping, restaurants, nail salon, etc.) and loved that it was so close to the SD Wildlife Park.

Family Getaway
Property was as described on Vrbo. There was 16 of us… 8 adults and 8 grandchildren ranging from ages 8 to 21 years of age. Plenty of room to spread out and each family was able to have their own space. The pool and backyard space was beautiful. We really enjoyed our time out there. Plenty of games and activities to keep the kids occupied. Never heard anyone say they were bored. The kitchen was spacious and easily accommodated everyone that was preparing meals. Loved the walk-in pantry! All in all we were very happy with our visit at this property.

Unqualified perfection!
Excellent communication with the host before and during stay was prompt and complete. We were a family party of 11 with 5 children ranging from 8 - 16 and 6 adults. The house was beautiful. The pool and covered hot-tub area allowed everyone to get as much sun and water as they could possibly want. The kitchen was well-stocked with all possibly desired tools and basics so many adults could be cooking simultaneously. The game room was enjoyed by everyone and the high end beauty of the property was the perfect backdrop for the photographer (recommended also by the host at our request) was able to capture the joy of us all. And, the firepit for nighty smores had wood stocked for us. Nothing was wanting -- it was THE BEST!

Very Accurate Listing
Extended family enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and indoor and outdoor games. Lots of choices for all age groups. Had a few issues with the hot tub jets and one of the televisions; however, the host was extremely responsive. Beautiful property. The only negative was the 9pm quiet time, as even the senior adults were still a bit noisy past that hour.

Great place
Overall it was great. We were there in March so it was too cold to use the pool and we didn’t get in the hot tub, for some reason it wasn’t getting very hot, so we didn’t use it. The only other issue was the game room… online it seems great but the shuffle board and pool table were mini sized. We were on a golf trip so we were more worried about having enough bedrooms and bathrooms so it worked out great for us. During the summer time when you can use the pool I bet it would be sweet.

We loved the property, upon check in my window in my bathroom was open and it was freezing, we choose the time of the year when its the coldest here and the water from the shower does not get very hot but overall it was a great experience, we loved the property. If I ever come back to San Diego I will certainly try hard to book this house again.
