    This is a charming little property perfect for a San Diego getaway. Located 5+ minutes to Balboa Park Museums and the Zoo. My husband, 3 sons, ages 4-9, and myself enjoyed the quiet and convenience of the home and neighborhood. The property owner was easily available for any questions or concerns. My sons nicknamed this home the 'Jungle Fort' and cannot wait to visit again!

    This home was one of the best vacation rentals we have experienced as a family. It was well designed and felt special as part of our vacation. I am so impressed with the small details that really made it feel like home, particularly for young children. Night lights, child-available toilet seat, bunk beds, and kid-sized utensils were unexpected but so appreciated. The backyard is beautiful and a great spot for congregating- the fire pit was lovely on cooler San Diego nights! Tom was a great host and excellent communicator. We enjoyed the neighborhood and walking to a few restaurants. It was an ideal location to visit the zoo and Balboa park. Highly recommend- thanks Tom!

    The property looks exactly like the picture. The moment you walked into the house, you see plants everywhere. Even in the bathroom there were plants above the shower. Almost felt like a jungle. But in a good way. The backyard had a nice little sitting area with a fountain where you can relax and listen to sound of the water coming out. The bed in the master bedroom was a bit too firm and the pillows not very comfortable for my liking. There was a doggy bed for your fur baby in the master bedroom. Which was really nice. The kitchen had all the necessary cookware. The second bedroom had a bunk bed where our child slept. She had no complaints. The house is nearby the freeway, grocery stores, restaurants, a park, and the zoo. Communication with the host was great. Would definitely stay in the future again.

We were never more than 20 minutes from any major San Diego attraction. The property itself is very well maintained and had more amenities than expected from the espresso machine to the air fryer as well as dishes and silverware for kids. There were even blackout shades in the bedrooms which made sleep easy for our toddler. Highly recommend for those with young ones!

    We stayed for 13 nights before departing. We’ve used various accommodation apps and stayed at many different places, but none were as comfortable and cozy as Tom’s house. This place is not just a great accommodation but a home that truly makes guests feel like they belong. Everything is thoughtfully prepared—chargers by the bed and in the living room, air purifiers in every room, and the air-cleansing plants throughout the house are an incredible touch. The large refrigerator and excellent barbecue grill are also fantastic features. Parking is convenient, and the check-in and check-out process is seamless. Tom is incredibly considerate. We sincerely wish his family endless happiness and good fortune. Goodbye, San Diego!

    This home was perfectly located near the places we were visiting in San Diego. Our children enjoyed the comfy feeling of being at home. My daughter said she liked that the lights were on when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking meals. There were only two beds so my oldest did need to sleep on the very nice couch in the living room. We enjoyed the shower the most. Everything in the house was beautifully decorated. We would stay here again if we travel to So Cal in the future.

It was very clear that the owner has put a lot of thought into making sure that every need is addressed.
