Amazing place for a large group!
First off, Josh was one of the best hosts we've ever encountered on this or other short term rental platforms. He was super responsive and very friendly. He went out of his way to ensure we had a smooth, comfortable stay. He really understands hospitality and what it means for people seeking a lovely vacation. The house is immaculate and is incredibly spacious. There was plenty of space for our group of ten to spread out and enjoy all the amenities. The kitchen is fully stocked, should you want to cook meals there. We took advantage of the backyard patio to soak up sun and the hot tub on the cooler days/nights. You do get the noise from the freeway below, but the views of the surrounding hills are really beautiful, and the freeway noise really didn't bother us. The location is about a 20 min drive to downtown San Diego, but easily accessed. We were in town for a concert at Viejas Arena on SDSU campus and it was only a ten minute drive for us. It didn't bother us being a bit further away from the downtown/zoo/beach commotion. I think having so much space in this beautiful house more than made up for any potential inconvenience of the distance to those attractions. We had our toddler along and especially loved the toddler room just off one of the main king bedrooms. Such a cute, thoughtful touch! No one needs a walk-in closet on vacation, so it was a great idea to make this little toddler room. It made our little guy's (and our) stay that much more special!

Great Stay in San Diego
My family just completed a 1-week stay at this beautiful property. We were a multi-generational group, including grandparents, adult children and grandchildren ranging in age from 10 years old, down to 22 months. With five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, everyone had privacy and lots of room to spread out. We prepared some of our meals in the great kitchen. The house was immaculate, well stocked, and featured many indoor and outdoor amenities. The kids enjoyed the x-box; and all of us enjoyed the hot tub and views of some magnificent sunrises from the back area of the house. Attractions in the San Diego area are fairly spread out north to south. Our location, in El Cajon, was in reasonable striking distance (30 minutes or so) from everything, ranging from Legoland to La Jolla to Balboa Park. We found a nice park and playground, only a 10-minute walk away. We even did a daytrip to Disneyland, less than 2 hours away. Josh, our host, was a pleasure to work with. When I mentioned that one of our grandchildren was a toddler and asked whether the house had a high chair, Josh immediately went out and got one for us. Bottom line: Not much more that you could ask for in a vacation rental property. We would stay here again in a minute.

Absolutely perfect!
We had 14 family members stay here and this home is perfect! There is plenty of room for common area gathering, eating, and game nights! The house looks exactly like the photos, was incredibly clean, and Josh was great with communication! It was so easy to access shopping, restaurants and getting in/out of downtown San Diego and the beaches. We would definitely stay here again!!

Amazing!!
Perfect house for us 12!! Everything was exactly as it was described and all the photos were accurate, so much space and didn't feel crowded for us. Hot tub was a plus, great for the evenings to relax. We used the outdoor, gas fire pit and the indoor fireplace. Host was quick to respond for any questions. Great views from the back patio, although be aware of the highway traffic noise, which we didn't hear from the inside, just when we're outside. Walking distance to a park, close to exit, close to stores, nicely located. Felt private and secluded even though there are neighbors right next door (we barely saw anyone anyway). People seem to keep to themselves in this neighborhood. Would definitely vacation here again!
