Great Beach House
This was a great house close to the beach. We were a quick walk to Ocean Beach, and had great day trips to Lego Land, San Diego Zoo and the Safari Park. The house was clean, easily accommodated our group of 9 and had plenty of amenities to make our stay more pleasant. The host was very friendly and helpful as well.

Spring Break 2025 Family Trip
This house was perfect for our family! With grandchildren ages 11 to 1 the accommodations had everything. The upstairs loft area was perfect for them with a bed for every age. We enjoyed walking to the nearby beach with beach provisions that were included. Walking distance to restaurants, bars, and everything in between. All of the major attractions we participated in were within a 15-20 minute drive; i.e. SeaWorld, Balboa Park, Air & Space Museum, and The New Children's Museum. We would've done the zoo if we had better weather. We definitely would stay here again; it was wonderful!!

Lovely home in Ocean Beach
We had a wonderful stay at this comfortable home in Ocean Beach. It is near enough to downtown OB to walk to many restaurants but still off the beat and path to avoid the main OB traffic. The beds are very comfortable and we had plenty of room to stretch out. We will definitely consider this home when we are back in SD again.

Family friend getaway
Our two families loved our San Diego getaway. The house was perfect for our group. There was plenty of room/beds for all eight of us to spread out. It was clean, organized and well stocked. We loved having the wagon to haul everything to the beach, so helpful! The adults enjoyed all the seating in the front yard to drink coffee In the morning while the kids kicked the soccer ball around.The upstairs loft was so spacious with plenty of room for the kids to play. Great location and loved having the driveway parking spaces. Hope to return!

Renters Beware
You probably won’t know the address of the place until 2 days before your arrival at which point you will receive 5 pages of rules, which say not to use the freezer (bring your own ice) or garbage disposal, space out showers because of smaller water heater, etc. The carpet had bad stains everywhere (I took pictures of them in the event we were accused of staining them). The bunkbed and some of the dining room chairs were unstable. We took the mattress off the bunkbed and had the grandkids sleep on the floor to avoid a potential catastrophe. The oven stopped working temporarily on Thanksgiving Day. Why weren’t these shortcomings listed in the house description so potential renters can make an informed decision? My family spent 4 days around Thanksgiving at the house. It was well-stocked and close to the ocean. We treated the place with respect and left the house immaculate. Imagine my surprise when 2 days after we got home, the property manager wanted to charge us to repair some small vinyl tears in 2 of her older chairs which had been there prior to our arrival. I was astounded, as we left the place spotless and our grandkids were supervised and only sat in the chairs to eat and play cards. I see this as a money grab to pay for home maintenance items that the homeowner should be responsible for. Will your stay result in you being asked to pay for stained carpets, broken chairs and bunkbeds that are already broken? I would be very wary before deciding to rent this house.

Great house, fantastic location
Great beach house, well stocked with beach gear. Very clean, lots of space for family dinner. The only tiny thing was that there’s no door to the second floor loft so it was hard for adults to visit after kids went to bed up there.

It was a great house for our group. Located close to the beach with a big enough front yard for the kids to play and kick a soccer ball around. The kids ranged from 3 to 10, loved the upstairs where they slept while the adults slept in the bedrooms.

Good rental in San Diego
There were 7 adults in our group, including three with limitations climbing stairs. The living area, kitchen, and outside areas were great. The three downstairs bedrooms were great. The limits upstairs is that it’s really meant for kids. With adults, it needs dressers or more hangers for clothes, it needs more bedside tables and lamps, and the water heater needs to be upgraded. It struggled to handle showers upstairs as far as getting enough hot water when we left at the same time as a group. Overall, it suited our needs and, with a few additions upstairs, it would be excellent. Pam brought in a microwave for us to use when the installed one needed a part which was much appreciated. Check in and out was easy. The property is right below the flight path but that was clearly explained and didn’t bother us because we just kept the windows closed. The kitchen had everything that was needed and the washer and dryer were very handy.
