    We had a wonderful stay at Patti’s Del Mar Haven. Patti was a fantastic communicator and was so kind and gracious to have pool toys and beach gear ready for us. Our boys loved the community pool and we were close to everything in San Diego we wanted to see. The home is comfy and so welcoming. We loved our stay!

    The house was very nice. Kitchen was stocked better than any place we’ve stayed at. The owner contacted me ahead of time and asked the ages of the kids so she could have pool toys and beach chairs and umbrella for us. She also told us where some nice beaches and restaurants were at. We had a great time

    We couldn't have been happier with our stay at Patti's place. Brought our family and had plenty of room for everyone. Super communication, all the amenities we needed, and the location is great to access everything in and around San Diego.

    The townhouse is in a very nice area - gated community and spacious. The host Patti was very responsive and even put a couple of nice drinks in the refrigerator for us. The townhouse has a pool area and was a quite place to stay, not too far from Del Mar downtown, restaurants and other attractions.

    Our family of four had a wonderful stay at this property. Patti was very welcoming and made us feel at home right away. The house was very well equipped and aesthetically decorated. It had all the comforts, an equipped kitchen, full pantry, lovely backyard and lots of entertainment including good books, tv subscriptions. Patti even offered toys for our kids to play with. Due to COVID restrictions, we weren't planning to visit many local places so a relaxing stay with some outings is what we had in mind. Patti recommended great nearby beaches that we really enjoyed visiting. And the neighborhood was very family friendly, walking distance to a park, swimming pool within the community and a few minutes to a plaza with plenty of options for food. Overall it was just the right vacation spot we needed during the extraordinary situation.
