    I have stayed at several VRBOs, nationally as well as internationally. This one had the best communication by far! I almost don't want to leave a review and keep this little gem to myself. I will definitely be booking again. It is centrally located to everything in San Diego. It is a bit quirky to get to, but it is located in a very safe and quiet area. We were down in the hustle and bustle of town and then retreated to our private gated sanctuary. The kitchen was well.stocked - it even had a Kitchenaid stand mixer as well as all the other appliances you would need. I didn't get to cook much but now that I know will take advantage next time. The round dining table is perfect for meals or playing board games. There is plenty of parking behind the automatic gate. I appreciated the extra towels, sheets, and pillows. Perfect for a small family or two couples. We were a family of 5 - 2 parents with 3 adult children.

    This was a great house to stay at! While the drive back to the house may make you wonder, it is like arriving at an oasis when you enter the gate. The location is wonderful as it was easy to get everywhere. We definitely would stay here again!

    We loved our stay here. It was nestled in the hills and felt very serene and secluded. Location was great with easy access to beaches and downtown San Diego including the San Diego Zoo. Communication was fantastic, and the property manager was very helpful. If we go back to San Diego we would definitely stay here again!

    We loved our stay at this Mission Valley property! The location was perfect—close to the airport, SDSU, and with easy access to I-5. The gated entry made us feel safe and gave total privacy, and the certified wildlife habitat made the property feel extra special.The house was beautiful, the kitchen had everything we needed (modern appliances, cookware, and even a gas grill), which made cooking at home super convenient.Stacey was a fantastic host—quick to respond and always checked in to make sure we had what we needed. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting San Diego!

    A wonderful house in prime location. Our family loved this property. It is in a prime location with easy access to highways and was minutes away from everything we did while in town. The property is tucked behind some office buildings and provides a Avery private space. The property is well kept and beautiful with small wildlife abundant (small lizards, butterflies, hummingbirds).Would highly recommend this property if you're in town!

    Overall this was a great property to stay at. It is a very serene location as described with ample outdoor seating. It was cooler the whole time that we were in town so we didn't get to take full advantage of that. The house was clean and spacious for a 2 bedroom, and the kitchen was extraordinarily equipped! We would absolutely stay at this house again, but several items of feedback that we wanted to give. First, the supplies provided were slim (i.e. toilet paper, trash bags etc.) There were 2 of each item and for 4 adults over 5 days this wasn't enough. Though the Host did respond quickly to drop off extra items it felt inconvenient. Second, the Pack and Play mattress is very discolored and appears dirty. We used the sheet provided as well as one we brought along, but first impressions on seeing it weren't great. Lastly, the guest bedroom downstairs is very limited on outlets and it was very difficult to plug everything we needed to in the room.

    We have rented in San Diego a half dozen times in the last couple years. This was a great house in terms of good indoor and outdoor spaces, comfort, privacy, a lovely yard, a good kitchen and other amenities. The bed was comfortable. It also has good access to the freeways. You must have a car. The house is not in a walkable neighborhood.

    We really enjoyed the location with how quiet it was. It was close enough to the highway to get most anywhere easily. The house is hidden back in behind some businesses, but wasn't too hard to find. The owner was very communicative, we had everything we needed for our stay.
