Kent was an exceptional and gracious host. This property is an oasis and the decades of love and work he has put into it is incredible. If you get the opportunity to stay, only then will you truly understand the full beauty and peacefulness this place has to offer.Proximity can't be beat. Coupled with easy access to the interstate, Balboa park is only 1 block away, you're 5 minutes from the zoo, and its a nice leisurely walk to the many wonderful restaurants on 30th street.

The property was in an excellent location. Within blocks of 30th Avenue which has a vibrant and hip nightlife and excellent restaurants and eateries. Very close walk to Balboa Park and all that has to offer with museums and the San Diego Zoo. The propert itself was incredible! Lush landscaping made for cool days and relaxing nights. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for cooking. The location was very quiet. I would highly recommend the place and Kent.

Everything about this property is exceptional. Kent is a wonderful host who responds very timely to any questions you might have and to share recommendations. The property itself, is a beautiful tropical retreat, very relaxing, yet conveniently located to all San Diego has to offer. Your accommodations are lovely with everything you need for your home away from home. My husband and I couldn't have been happier with our choice and look forward to a return visit to Kent's home.

What an amazing stay at Kent's wonderful tropical hideaway! The location was perfect for us—only 12 minutes from Coronado and downtown, yet far enough from the hustle and bustle of the city. We loved taking walks through the neighborhood to admire the historic Craftsman-style homes, and it was an easy seven-block stroll to some wonderful local eateries in the morning.As for the home itself, we couldn't have asked for more. The grounds, the spacious porch, and the beautiful interior felt like a private retreat. It's clear Kent has put so much heart and work into this property. He greeted us with the key, gave us a quick tour, and made check-in seamless. Having our morning coffee out on the porch was a true highlight. Everything was exactly what we were hoping for.... and beyond!

This apartment is a very special place. You feel when you walk through the gate. The breezy windows and lush views made us feel like we were on a tropical vacation. We enjoyed grilling on the private patio and also dining on the balcony. The firm bed was super comfortable, and we got great sleep. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. Parking was never a problem. The location is close to the zoo and downtown. Kent is a wonderful host. It is clear that the house is loved and is more than just an investment to him. You can feel the love and pride all around you as you enjoy this lovely home.
