    The home was an absolute oasis. Our family was pampered to stay in such a lovely home. We didn't didn't want to leave. Our pups enjoyed the patio and back yard. Lovely jacuzzi to enjoy in the evenings. An absolutely gem.

    Wonderful North Park property that was comfortable, stylish, and clean throughout. I tend to avoid cooking at a rental property but this kitchen was wonderfully stocked with quality items. The outdoor space was amazing esp. for a NP home.We especially enjoyed chatting with the next door neighbor, a resident since the 1940s.

    Family came from all over to celebrate a doctoral candidate. The backyard was a perfect Oasis for a small family celebration. Very comfy, clean, well stocked. Great grilll and Jacuzzi, including an outdoor shower with hot water. Washer, dryer, high chair, family friendly, lovely patio seating, comfy beds. Took a minute to figure out shower head and Jacuzzi, but written instructions are thorough so read them first! Very responsive to needs and questions. We used Lyft, the public bus or walked to restaurants. Would stay again.

    Wonderful home in a cool neighborhood with all the amenities for a great San Diego getaway. Possibly the most well equipped rental property we've experienced, it had everything from extra linens, pillows and blankets, kitchen staples, backyard games, to beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and coolers, even playpens and toys for smaller children. Amazing outdoor spaces included both lounge and outdoor dining furniture and lighting in both front and back yards. The hot tub is piping hot and clean with great jets for relaxing jacuzzi time no matter the weather. Neighborhood is quiet and safe with proximity to a commercial district full of trendy bars, eateries and a popular ice cream spot, with neighborhood markets and groceries also nearby. We would love to stay again when back in the area.

    My husband and I absolutely loved our stay here! The place was perfectly equipped with everything we needed and in a quiet, walkable neighborhood. We loved having the hot tub and outdoor spaces, too. Our host Mari was so communicative and helpful. 10/10 experience, would stay again in a heartbeat!

    We really enjoyed North Park neighbor and this beautiful home. Wonderful layout, easy communication with owners, and lovely courtyard. Less than 5 minutes from SD Zoo meant we could leave with the kids and go back to the house for “quiet time”, then back to zoo for the evening. We all wish we could have stayed longer!

    This property was absolutely gorgeous and exceeded expectations. The backyard was amazing, the beds were comfortable, the AC units in the bedrooms were lifesavers. The only reason we chose to stay in a VRBO this trip is because my mom was coming with my husband and myself. We needed our own space. We have been leaning towards hotels again as the VRBO process has been more and more complicated and frustrating. However, this VRBO and the hosts reignited my desire to stay in VRBO’s in the future. The amenities (coffee machine, swiffer, vacuum, standing fans, Tupperware, washer/dryer, beach supplies, etc) were amazing. The attention to detail was superb. The location was perfect as we wanted to stay close to my sisters in North Park. The only thing that was missing is an AC unit in the living room area as this space tends to get stuffy in the afternoon. Thank you so much for extending your space to us. We truly appreciate it!

    Great stay. We had a few issues, but the hosts were quick to communicate and remedy the issues. The driveway was a bit narrow, but other than that, my family enjoyed the stay.

    Beautiful property. The backyard exceeded expectations. It was lovely to come back to the hot tub after a day out. Well stocked kitchen. We cooked several meals and had everything we needed as far as cookware and even spices, oils etc. The beds are very comfortable. No central air but air conditioners in the bedrooms which were adequate. Private entrances from both bedrooms to the backyard. Second shower is in the backyard but private. Beach supplies available for use. Owner responded within minutes generally to questions/needs. Overall we were very pleased and would highly recommend.
