Tropical Paradise

This lovely space is wonderful! The greenery and the decorating is so cheerful. If you thrive on being outside in a welcoming, plant-filled space with lots of seating options, this is the place for you. I am a sucker for L-shaped couches and this home has one on the inside and one on the outside. Loved my stay. The host was very responsive, too.

Great Getaway but some things to consider.

The location and space was beautiful! It was the perfect amount of space for my husband and I. We chose a SUV for our car rental which I am happy for it because to get to the rental the road is a steep incline and the turn into the parking space could be a concern if you have a low clearing vehicle or a manual. Also when we arrived all the windows and doors were open besides the security door which was locked. My security is very important so being in a new area of San Diego I would have preferred that all the doors were closed and locked upon arrival. There are two front doors. A steel security door and a wood door. The wooden door does not deadbolt and barely closes. A slight pull on the handle and it comes right open. This would definitely be something to consider if you are traveling alone. If I was not with my husband, I don’t know if I could have stayed here.
