One of the best VRBO stays ever!
I was on a work trip with two work friends. Hillcrest is a great neighborhood and the house is in a perfect location to walk to awesome coffee shops, restaurants, and other local shops. The house has a spacious interior and the back patio was perfect for morning coffee while I did some work on my computer. The interor office space is wonderful as well. The host, Greg, was very quick with communication, checked in with me after the first day, and even offered to get us checked in early and a late checkout if needed. Who does that?? It was such a pleasant suprise and just a wonderful touch. 10/10 I will stay again when I'm in SD and you should too!!

Fun stay in SD
This is a great location to stay with family or friends. The bedrooms are spacious and the common areas are great for sharing a meal or hanging out and watching tv together. The neighborhood is super cute and there’s so much to do nearby - you walk up the street and there’s a Von’s grocery and a Lazy Acres. I highly recommend this location for anyone looking for a small home away from home! Note - if you’re traveling w an infant or small children, the second bathroom is inside the master bedroom and it’s quite small. It’s usable and fine, but definitely hard to navigate w a child or anyone tall 😝

Great location, but unfortunately cleanliness issues
The location was fantastic, within walking distance of a grocery store and delicious restaurants. The owner was also very responsive and offered wonderful local recommendations, which we appreciated. One highlight of the property was the good back patio space, perfect for relaxing outdoors. However, there were several small inconveniences throughout our stay. The showers were tiny, which meant that the shower curtain touches you while showering, which isn’t ideal as it wasn’t clean. The house is nearing its 100 year old birthday which is a fun fact, but it does mean that it has a bit of a musty smell and the rooms lacked sufficient outlets or any USB options, which made charging devices a bit challenging. Furthermore, there was no dishwasher, and the sponge provided for dishwashing wasn't new or clean. There were some other cleanliness issues as well - the sheets had some stains and didn't appear to be thoroughly cleaned (small hairs were on the sheets near the foot of the bed). Additionally, there were some allergens in the house that affected my allergies. I'm not sure if it was due to dust or if a prior pet had lived there, but it was significant enough for me to have to seek medical attention and obtain an inhaler prescription. Overall, while the location and responsiveness of the owner were positives, the cleanliness was lacking and potential allergens in the house may be a concern for guests with allergies.

Great home for family while loved one in the hospital at UCSD Hillcrest
Our family of 3 senior citizens and an 18 year old spent 10 days at this wonderful VRBO while one of us was in the UCSD Medical Center. It was an easy 15 minute walk to the hospital and just a few minutes to walk to Vons', plus a great Natural Foods store also. The house does not have AC or a dishwasher but we were totally comfortable and able to relax during a stressful time. I would rent it again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Greg, for being so available.

Fantastic stay in Hillcrest!
Wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for the wonderful time my family and I had while staying at your beautiful VRBO property in Hillcrest. Our experience exceeded our expectations, and your exceptional hosting made our vacation truly memorable. From the moment we arrived, your prompt and warm welcome made us feel right at home. Your attention to detail and thoughtful touches throughout the property were truly remarkable. It was evident that you take great pride in providing a comfortable and enjoyable stay for your guests. We were particularly impressed by your recommendations for local restaurants. Your suggestions were spot on and led us to some incredible food, grateful for your knowledge of the area's hidden gems. Not only were you prompt in answering our questions and providing guidance, but you also went above and beyond by ensuring that we had everything we needed during our stay. The VRBO itself was nothing short of perfect. The attention to detail in the interior design, the cleanliness, and the overall comfort made it a true home away from home. Even though one of the bathrooms was quite small, it was still manageable. The location was ideal, allowing us to explore all the areas around San Diego. We will certainly be recommending your property to our friends and family, and we hope to have the opportunity to stay with you again in the future.

No complaints
Great house near the San Diego zoo and other attractions. I was traveling with my very young children (2 and 9 months) and appreciated that there was a travel crib and selection of toys available. The side yard was fenced and a perfect play area for them. The entire place was clean, well-stocked, and I have no complaints.

Family Thanksgiving Week Trip
My youngest daughter had her first child in September in San Diego. A bit young for a cross country trip back East for Thanksgiving, so we brought her older sister’s two children (6 & 9) to meet their new cousin. Their Mom could not go.. House has enough space and a yard to play in too. Walking distance to the grocery store and secverak places to eat made the location very convenient. Also close to the Zoo and Balbia Park and both Hillcrest and the the North Oatk neighborhood.

Group stay for a conference in San Diego
This was a great place to stay for a group of graduate students visiting San Diego to attend a conference and go sight-seeing! The house is in a quiet neighborhood located centrally to many of the places we wanted to see. It's also a short walk away from a grocery store and nearby restaurants. The house was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The second bathroom is quite small, but this wasn't a huge issue. We enjoyed the patio in the backyard and the extremely comfortable beds. Greg was a very responsive and accommodating host. Would definitely recommend!

Visit for MCRD Graduation
This was a wonderful place to stay for our son's graduation from Marine Boot Camp at MCRD! Our first visit to San Diego, and it was a perfect location. We were about 10 minutes or less to everywhere. Extremely convenient to MCRD, Old Town and so many other places to visit. The house was perfect for us! Nice, quiet neighborhood, walking distance to many restaurants. A very nice grocery within walking distance also had a parking garage. Safe location in nice area. Beds were very comfortable! Nice gathering space, great little kitchen, and the backyard patio was great. Host was very helpful and even loaned us a cooler and beach chairs! I would absolutely recommend staying here! It was perfect for our stay. Could not have been better for the MCRD Graduation and visiting local attractions.

Unpleasantly surprised
The owner was very nice, but we stayed during a heat wave in San Diego and the only stand up air conditioning unit could not cool the entire house. The owner could have turned it on prior to our arrival but he did not. He had on fans but the house was still very hot when we arrived. He asked if we could turn it off during the day if we left. Of course we didnt because it could not even cool the back half of the house with it running continuously. My 22 month old grandson woke up several times from being too hot. Another unpleasant surprise was the size of the master bath. I think it was a small walk in closet converted to a bathroom—I’m not exaggerating. When you sit on the toilet you have to turn sideways because the sink is right in front of the toilet. There was no dishwasher, but I didnt mind doing dishes. The parking space is off and you have to watch the curb as you pull in and the passenger side has to get out on the street because the hedgerow is too close to the parking space on that side. Other than those things, the place was okay. There were toys for my grandson and a crib. The outside patio was small but nice. The beds were comfortable even if it was almost too hot to sleep.

Lovely Craftsman Cottage
The property was just as portrayed in descriptions and photos. VERY comfortable and pleasant. Well outfitted with everything we needed and then some. The house is in a convenient location. It is close to restaurants, shopping, and recreation. We would definitely consider staying here again if the opportunity presented itself. One last important point. Although the address is on University Avenue, it's actually on a quiet side street. It was fun to sit on the portch and enjoy the quiet and read or chat.
