Really enjoyed out time on the deck here, only thing that would make this home even MORE perfect is more comfortable seating for tv viewing in the evening

We love this place! This was our second time staying here. We lived in mission hills area many years ago and loved coming back to this wonderful neighborhood. It’s also wonderful to have such a great place to stay! Susan is a wonderful host! Very clean and location can’t be beat!

The home is lovely and comfortable with a great view of the canyon and water in the distance. It is a beautiful quiet neighborhood conveniently located to many attractions, and nice to take walks around. We stayed over a holiday and the kitchen was wonderfully equiped for nice holiday dinner.

We came to San Diego for a wedding. Susan met us at the house, showed us around and was super easy to communicate with. Great hose, really nicely appointed and had everything we needed for our stay. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay (or better weather). 5 Stars!!

We loved this family unit and will definitely stay here again when we return to San Diego. The unit was well stocked with all things you would need for vacation. The owners thought of everything including beach towels and plenty of TP and paper towels, all cleaning supplies including laundry supplies. This makes a huge difference when you are busy vacationing. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet like advertised. We loved the extended living area of the large back deck. It is an easy place to work if you must while on vacay. They even supplied fresh ground coffee to get your morning started! Thanks for a great stay.

We stayed at beautiful home last week while celebrating our daughter’s college graduation. The location was great and the local restaurants were so nice. Susan couldn’t be more accommodating and we highly recommend this rental. We hope to be back soon. If we ever moved to San Diego, I would definitely love living in this neighborhood.

From start to finish the booking of this property was perfect. Really good communication with Susan who replied promptly to any queries. Lovely house with deck overlooking San Diego airport (distant). Would highly recommend .

Susan was a great host. Very responsive and helpful.
Her house is lovely. Has everything you would want. It is a nice house, not your typical rental. Great neighborhood.
If you are noise sensitive, San Diego in general has lots of airplane noise as the airport is right in the city. We are sensitive to noise which made outdoor restaurant dining and sleeping not as enjoyable.

Seriously--stop scrolling and just book this house! You'll love it!
We loved every single thing about our stay at Mark and Susan's house! This is not your average vacation house, but a home lovingly cared for and put together in a way that makes you feel like you are staying with friends (fresh flowers all over!!), and Susan's thoughtful response in all communication just confirms that feeling! The house is gorgeous and inviting, the deck and view are just amazing, the kitchen is well stocked with high end everything, the beds are super comfortable, and the bathroom designs are so lovely. The location was perfect for exploring all of San Diego and there were great places we could walk to in the neighborhood.
Thanks to Mark & Susan for a lovely stay in San Diego--My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Hoping we can come back soon!

Unforgettable Vacation
This property is AMAZING. The location is central and within 15 minutes of most area attractions. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and friendly. The house had ample space for 6 people to live comfortably. The best part was the spectacular view from the large deck along with the sliding back door. I highly recommend this property to anyone with children of any age. We look forward to returning in the future and staying here again! Thank you Mark and Susan!

Great property
We really enjoyed our stay
The house in very comfortable. We loved the back deck overlooking the canyon. The location is amazingly convenient to the Zoo, Old Town and little Italy. We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and had a delightful time. We would love to stay here again

The Perfect Home
This home is exactly as pictured and wonderful in every way! We appreciated being a little out of the fray of San Diego and away from all the airport noise. It truly felt like staying at a friends home rather than a rental that is past it’s prime. Susan was wonderful to work with, accommodating, and clear in communication. Without reservation I would recommend this property; we hope to come back again soon!

We loved this beautifully updated house in a great neighborhood! Susan was a great host. Everything was clean and worked fine. I’m missing the view of the canyon already!

Great house with high end furnishings. Has 1 parking spot in the driveway but plenty of free street parking right outside the house for easy transport of bags. There is a park 2 blocks away with a big grass field and play structure for kids. There's also San Diego's oldest nursery down the street where they have chickens running free around the property. Only about 10 min from the airport but you can barely hear planes when outside and not at all when inside. There's also a good selection of board games and puzzles in the cabinets, every utensil you'd need to cook a meal, BBQ with extra propane, and a dining room table big enough to sit 8-10 people. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone wanting a nice quiet and safe neighborhood that's also close to everything. If you have a large loud family, probably best to stay someplace else. Neighbors are picky about noise. Communication with the owner was great and check in / out was simple. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had never tried the neighborhood of Mission Hills, and this property was ideal for that. It is centrally located so that you can walk to shops, restaurants and grocery stores. And Mission Hills is an easy drive to many of San Diego’s main attractions.
Susan is an excellent host. She has furnished this house with absolutely everything a guest could need. The property has high-quality finish and appliances. Absolutely no complaints; this is an easy place to like. Because everything is in perfect condition, this is the kind of place best suited for mature adults who will take great care for the property, as if it was their own.

Beautiful home with a lovely patio view
My family and I absolutely loved staying here. It was conveniently located - short walk to restaurants, playground, and mart. The home was cozy and comfortable. All needed conveniences were stocked and the home owner, Susan, was wonderful throughout the stay. She answered any questions that arose quickly and kindly. The back patio was the highlight for me. It is just as gorgeous as the photos and peaceful to relax on. We would happily stay there again!
