Great stay!
Frank was an awesome host. The property was clean and quiet. The neighborhood is okay but I felt safe and there were security cameras on the property. The backyard was simple and fun. Overall a great place to stay if you need something small and clean. Just be aware you either have to pay a $1,500 not guaranteed refundable damage fee or $59 damage insurance. This fee is on top of all the other cleaning, property fee, and tax. Not terrible but just beware

Wonderful
Wonderful VRBO. Communication with the owner was great. The place was really nice and updated. Full kitchen, full-size washer and dryer, and a place to park. Separate entrance with a lockable gate for privacy.

This is the best Vrbo yet!
This house is located perfectly in San Diego, short drive away from the beach and many restaurants. The house was very clean, nice private turf back yard. This was a nice get away from everyday life! Can’t wait to come back!

Clean, simple, and easy!
We had a great time staying at this property & it completely met our expectations. We didn’t spend much time on the property, but it has a beautiful outdoor area and reasonably sized interior. Would recommend!
