The house, game room, outdoor activities, and animals were amazing. We stayed over Thanksgiving with three families with several kids between the ages of 9-16 and no one was ever bored. They loved feeding Tito, Lily, the bunnies, collecting eggs each morning, and checking on the goats. The house had everything you could possibly need, including three prong chargers if you forgot yours. The biggest compliment has to be that all the teenagers wanted to stay at the house when asked if we wanted to go back to San Diego for the stay or stay at the house. Kim was responsive throughout and a great host. We will definitely stay here again if we are in San Diego again.
I rented this property to celebrate my father-in-law's 98th birthday. The house is well stocked and the beds are very comfortable. The animals were a big hit! The game room has something for everyone! Kim has been delightful to work with!
Like NO OTHER! I’ve never stayed somewhere that literally felt like a home away from home. From the welcoming and check in process, touring the property, the accommodations provided, the space, and the amenities— absolutely BREATHTAKING! Kim and her husband outdid themselves with this beautiful home they put so much time, energy and love into, you can FEEL IT. This was our first time visiting Sesame Place all the way from Miami Florida, my family and I came to San Diego to celebrate my daughters 2nd birthday. I’m so glad we chose to stay here! They even provided a high chair and play pen for the infant that came along with us. The place was super clean and extremely comfortable! Any issue or question we had they were only a phone call or text away. I don’t have anything negative to say. But most of all, the ANIMALS WAS THE MOST AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE EVER! To have such close access to an alpaca, donkey, bunnies, goats, and chickens was so AMAZING! We even got to take fresh eggs from the chicken coop and use them for breakfast. I will never forget this experience and when I come to San Diego again they will always be my first choice! Don’t hesitate to book!
A fabulous home!! Kim and Chris are wonderful hosts and have taken great care to make sure their guests are comfortable! From the humongous couch to the outdoor seating, there was room for everyone. The beds were all comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows! We have a large family and we’ve stayed in several homes….. this by far was everyone’s favorite! The pool, hot tub, game room and especially the animals, truly something for everyone. We will definitely be booking again!
We had a big family vacation and this property was perfect for all ages. The kids loved feeding the bunnies, donkey and alpaca. Great pool and plenty of room to play . Our family kept remarking how perfect the place was. Our host was very helpful and thoughtful. We couldn’t have picked a better place. Close to San Diego activities but far enough out of town to have plenty of private space. Great restaurant nearby Janet Montana’s.
First off, let me say I have nothing bad to say about this stay. Five stars all the way. Kim and Chris were amazing hosts and very communicative during our stay and very responsive for anything! We had 9 people in our group, and this home was very spacious and gave us individual rooms. There was plenty to do for the teenagers, adults, and toddlers! We got a mixture of sunshine and rain the week we were there but never felt like we were missing out on something. Pool, pool table, skee ball, shuffle board, plenty of board games, lawn games, a swing set, and a massage chair. Truly felt like we didn't need to leave the house. The animals at this home are a plus! We visited with the Alpaca,donkey, chickens, and rabbits. Had the option to get fresh eggs every morning! Loved getting a walk through of the house when we arrived. Very welcoming. I absolutely loved this experience 10 out of 10! We already started to see what other times this house might be available for our next trip!
This place was incredible. I’ve stayed in lots of rental homes and this is one of my favorites. My 7 year old said it was better than Disneyland (which we also visited on the same trip), and he cried when he had to say goodbye to the animals at the end of the stay. The house was bigger than we needed for our family, but we decided to stay there to take advantage of everything the house offered, and we’re so glad we did. The kids and adults all loved the pool, hot tub, game room, and animals. Kids also loved the little play structure outside, and adults enjoyed the massage chair :) House was clean, well organized, and beautiful. Hosts seem to have thought of everything - there are lots of thoughtful little touches throughout the house. They also were quick to respond when I had a couple of questions. We would ABSOLUTELY stay here again (my kids were begging to come back before we even left), and I highly recommend it to anyone else who is looking for a place in this area.
