Hidden Cozy bungalow close to DT, beaches, & base // pet-friendly //

cute little spot!

It was a very nice studio apartment. The only concern was the parking. It is a rather small car port (unless you want to park on the street).

Host was super helpful and made sure we had a good stay. Would definitely recommend!

Rosie was great, and the bed was great! It was close to base, food and other activities. It was quiet enough for me to work from home, and was a great place to crash after running around all day!

Very cozy and private. We loved staying here!

Avoid this property. I moved to VRBO after a similar experience with a competitor's property. I did not do research. National City is down scale compared to San Diego. Navigating to the property, a block away, we saw three sex workers standing by a liquor store just down from a smoke shop. Streets and sidewalks were riddled with cracks. There are bars in the windows on most houses on the block. We parked to find the property. An indoor carpet was torn near the entrance. What appeared to be rodent droppings covered it. I sat on the furniture to call the owner. It was covered in dust and urban grime. Dogs behind the neighboring fence were barking. My daughter and I both voted to leave. We stayed in a San Diego hotel for 60 percent of the price. VRBO, please vet properties and audit them.

Cozy little place. Shower was a little small for my gigantic husband bed was comfortable.

We were unable to check in and had an incredibly disappointing experience. Upon arrival, we found a dead cockroach in the room, which was unacceptable. There were also major plumbing issues—there was no hot water for a shower—and the air conditioning didn’t work at all during our stay. On top of that, a dog was barking nonstop throughout the day, making it impossible to relax. When I brought all of this to the host’s attention, she said she would issue a refund but was unhelpful and clearly struggled to figure out how to process it. The whole situation was extremely frustrating and unprofessional. Now I’m fighting with cc to get my refund since VRBO customer service is beyond terrible as well.

As advertised.

We had a quick trip, but it was the perfect stay for us to bring our pup to the beach!

Had the best time and Rosy was an amazing host and was very attentive to our needs. I would definitely stay there again.

Great place to stay. Very clean. Owner was easy to communicate with. Way better than a hotel. We plan to stay here each year if possible.

The neighborhood is a bit sketchy for walking the dog. Once the car was in the carport and the door closed behind us it was a very nice place to be. No gate to keep the dog in the patio/yard area. Weird valves in the shower, I never did figure it out…

Rosy was very helpful. The house was just as described, clean and a great stay for our trip. The car port was nice to have as well.

Rosy was an excellent host! We had hiccups with our travel schedules, causing us to arrive a different times, and she was excellent in helping to make things as smooth as possible as we checked in and checked out. Very cute little unit. Worked great for what we needed for our weekend getaway.

We were there but briefly, but was perfect for us (my son and I) to attend his college orientation.
