Little bit of heaven
This house is perfect! The decorations throughout the house to the beds being super comfy. The outside is a garden oasis that only gets better when it’s dark and all the solar lights come on. The owners Patrick and Will are super sweet And we left something behind and they’re gonna mail it to us. Loved all the personal touches and the food suggestions and loved being able to listen to the radio with the Alexa in the living room. If you are on the fence about renting this property, I say do it you won’t regret it!

We had a spectacular time in San Diego— fortunate the house was so close to everything we wanted to do— hiking and other! Glad the neighborhood was safe for runners in the family also within walking distance to restaurants and coffee! Firepit was enjoyable in the evening— great bed space for 7adult children!

One of a kind retreat
After searching high and low for a house with 4 bedrooms near all the San Diego attractions, I was thrilled and relieved to find the Jungle house! It was a perfect fit for all our needs. Our granddaughters (2-7 yrs) especially loved it! The accommodations were comfortable especially the king beds,hot water,washer and dryer and privacy! The kitchen is well stocked, and the patio is delightful. You will be pleased with the location within driving distance to most San Diego attractions. So close to the airport . Very very quiet except for the sound of birds chirping! Will and Patrick offered helpful suggestions daily tailored to our family’s ages. Thank you for sharing your home Will and Patrick! Book it and start to relax before your trip even starts!

Beautiful Home and Gardens, Great Location!
It was a pure delight to stay at The Jungle House! Our party of 8 adults had plenty of room to spread out. The house has a Tiki theme with so many adorable touches. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The landscaping is gorgeous- truly an oasis! Every morning we walked to South Park (about a mile each way) for coffee at Dark Horse Coffee and breakfast at Matteo's. There is also a great bookstore (The Book Catapult) nearby. Finally, Patrick and Will were wonderful hosts. We would definitely stay here again!

7 of us (4 adults, 3 kids) stayed at the jungle house for 5 nights and were very happy with the choice to stay here. The yard is beautiful and private and has plenty of space for the kids to run around. We felt that it was a great location and the neighborhood was very quiet.

An Urban Oasis
We had a wonderful time at the Jungle House. It really is an idyllic setting in an urban environment. The house had everything the six of us needed and is large enough that we never felt cramped. The well appointed kitchen allowed us to cook large meals with ease. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. We slept with the windows open more than once. Will and Patrick were excellent hosts who promptly responded to any questions we had. This was the best experience we have had with VRBO and we will definitely be back.

On our first night we all fathered on the spacious patio and visited long into to the night. A clean bed and towels awaiting our first sleep. Beautiful house (love the dining table) and yard. Hosts communicated with us in a timely matter. We had everything we needed. We will stay here again and recommend to others. Thanks for a great vacation spot.

A peaceful paradise! Loved sitting out on the patio in the morning drinking coffee or at night drinking a Margarita. Our 2-year old granddaughter enjoyed exploring and getting the hang of climbing stairs. We were close to all the must see attractions, such as the zoo and the beaches. Overall, a great stay and ready to come back again!

Paradise retreat
Clean and organized house. Very comfortable beds. Perfect layout for me, my husband, 18 year old son, 24 year old son and his fiance. Property owners extremely hospitable and helpful; they truly wanted our entire trip to be terrific. I can't even describe how lovely the garden and patio areas are; being able to relax, have morning coffee and eat meals out there were one of the highlights of the trip. Great location. Five stars all around!

Beautiful outdoor spaces plus plenty of indoor seating!
Our three-generation group of 8 grandparents, parents, and adult children had a great time on our six day stay. The outdoor spaces are beautifully landscaped with at least 10 palms, numerous varieties of tropical flowers, and fun outdoor decor. Even on the last day, we were still noticing something new we hadn't yet seen. There's ample seating between the two patio tables, two lounge chairs, and six additional outdoor chairs. We loved eating dinner and relaxing on the patio. In the mornings, we loved gradually joining each other at the breakfast counter in the kitchen and the adjoining dining table. The kitchen was well-stocked with plates, glasses, utensils, and pans - better than most rentals. All eight of us could sit in the living room, something that some rentals don't have. The hosts, Will and Patrick, were beyond helpful and pleasant. When I made the reservation six months' prior, I mentioned we were coming for my mom's birthday, and they hung two "Happy Birthday" banners in the dining room as a surprise! When a dining chair had a loose leg, they were out the same day to fix it. They proactively gave advice on what to expect for traffic to see 4th of July fireworks. As with most rentals, there's a little wear and age in some places, but this is more a reflection on the behavior of renters than the hosts.

About the host

Hosted by Patrick McHale and Will Scherneck

Host profile image
We're both born and raised in California and have lived in Northern CA and Southern CA, including West Hollywood, Long Beach, Orange County, Palm Springs, and of course, San Diego.
We are Realtors, so if you're interested in buying or selling in San Diego, Los Angeles, or the Palm Springs area, we can help you. In addition to Real Estate, Patrick also works in the entertainment industry in Hollywood. Taking care of our vacation home certainly keeps us busy, but when we can, we love to travel. One of our favorite places to visit is Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We own a timeshare right on the beach, amazing, and we rent that out too! You'll see some pics of the area on our walls in the dining room. We love this home and we're very fortunate and grateful we have the ability to share it with you. We're hardworking guys and we do all we can to make sure you get to experience the San Diego area we call home.

Why they chose this property

This home is in one of the best locations in San Diego. There's nothing else like it. There's just something about the natural canyon setting, the towering Eucalyptus, giant Italian Cypress, and Palm Trees...a true oasis. We're so close to everything, but we feel like we're in our own private park. There's nothing like being within minutes to so much. IT's not new, but it's clean and we love it! If you want a Pool/Spa home to stay in, we have another home located in San Diego, just south of this home called the Panoramic Ocean View House #907583.

What makes this property unique

Prime Location. We love the natural, canyon setting and privacy. Instant relaxation and natural aromatherapy from the eucalyptus trees and microclimate. Pack 'n Play for the little one. Relax on one of the patios, lounges for sun and also perfect for stargazing, and Fire Pit. Such a natural and private setting yet so close to most of San Diego's main attractions.
