We had a great stay. Mary was very accommodating and let us check in a bit early to coincide with our flight arrival. The house is very toddler friendly. Beds are comfy and the kitchen has a good selection of dishes, cutlery, and pots and pans, etc. We’d definitely stay again when in the area.

The process of renting this property could not be easier. I rented listing myself as a single guest knowing the possibility existed other adult family members might/would join me, not knowing for sure if or when, it depended on their work schedules and such, but I knew they’d arrive by Saturday. Owner was flexible about it with me and eased my worries. The house is ready for any combination of family makeup with assortment of comfy beds in different sizes. Clean, crisp, fresh linens; smooth wood floors, tiled bathrooms - the emphasis on easy cleaning. I appreciated that! I will definitely return!

Convenient location (under 20 mins to all San Diego attractions). The house was clean, with all basic amenities. Nothing fancy, but a nice home with enough room for 4 adults and 2 kids. Clean linen and towels. In-house laundry would have been convenient, but there is a nice laundromat at walking distance.

This is a great little house in a safe neighborhood. The house was just as described and the host was helpful and responsive. We would love to stay here again when we are back in San Diego.

House was clean and had everything you would need. Great central location. We had to go to Santee, Carmel Valley, Sea World and Balboa park and it was all within 15 mins. The only issue we had was master shower needed a new hose to connect the shower head but that should be an easy $10 fix.

We enjoyed staying at Mary‘s property and would recommend it to those interested. It was central to all of the activities we had planned for our vacation. The kitchen was well stocked with items to cook our own meals. The beds were all clean. The bathrooms are in excellent condition. It was very easy for everyone to access the front door that is secured with a smart lock. The living room had ample space for us to all enjoy visiting together and the couch was very comfortable with multiple reclining seats. There is a baby crib although we did not need to use it. We very much appreciated that a good supply of toilet paper was on hand so that we didn’t have to rush to the store after using only one roll as many property owners seem to only leave one roll. Both bathrooms were well stocked with shampoo, conditioner and body shampoo. There was also a curling iron and hairdryer. The air conditioning worked excellently and ceiling fans in both of the living room and master bedroom made it very easy to keep the indoor climate dry and comfortable. The neighborhood is very quiet and so it was easy to get a good nights rest. The master bathroom is awesome as it includes both a bidet toilet and also a rainfall shower that is very relaxing. Thanks Mary!

Overall we enjoyed our stay. It was a nice house, clean, 10 minutes from everything, the neighborhood was nice, the neighbors were friendly, even the mailman said hi everyday.
There were a few things we did not like. The listing states there is off street parking, which I assumed meant off the street. Apparently I was wrong. Off street parking actually means on street parking, and the streets get very packed with cars, so good luck. Also this house is a duplex, that is not stated in the listing. There is a big double door in the living room that leads into the neighbors house. We were super creeped out by this. Lastly, the listing advertises “complimentary snacks and drinks” these are actually just left overs that past guest have left. Half jars of jelly and hot sauce, things like that. No actual snacks. We thought this was more gross than anything. I think the wording should be changed in the ad to be a little more honest

Mary is a superstar and the house is beautiful, comfortable, and clean! My friends and I were scrambling to find a new stay after being unsatisfied with our previous accommodations (from a different website). I reached out to Mary about this stay and she was extremely accommodating, amazing at communication, and made sure we were taken care of! The house is suited for a family with children, however, it was also an amazing stay for our graduation hangout. The beds were comfy, beddings were clean, bathrooms were great, kitchen had all the essentials, AC was amazing, and living room was a great social area. No complaints at all and would stay again!

Great place for a family with teen and toddlers. They enjoyed playing with all toys and a small swing outside was highlight. My kids had a great time. Kitchen was stocked with all necessary items. Our days are hot only the living room shade is covering up the entire window not a big issue. Just a little privacy concern. Other than everything was great.

Very Clean
First off, property was very clean, great location for us and Mary was very responsive. The downfalls are quite a few. The home smelled like cigarette smoke that an air purifier didn't take care of. There was no fire extinguisher as stated on the website and only one exit in case of fire. There is no back yard to access. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and not meant for seniors as we were. I feel that this home is geared towards a family with kids as no adult can sleep in that queen bed. There were no nightstands to place belongings and no closet, only small cubbies. The Nest thermostat was hard to keep on and it got to be 82 degrees when we came home. The TV had no access to live tv, only streaming, so I ended up watching TV on my laptop. I am looking for a property to stay in multiple times as my family lives in San Diego, but unfortunately, this is not it.

Very nice decor upon entry.
beautiful kitchen and bathrooms, bedrooms are clean nice beds and clean beddings. would have been nice to have a regular twin bed in the baby room still keep the crib. would be great if the landscape was cleaned more curb appeal...
All in all it was very good and your Samoan and Hawaiian neighbors was great especially when we're Hawaiians as well.
Mahalo plenty!

Overall, my family and I enjoyed our stay. The owner was very responsive and helpful. The property is pretty close to the freeway, so it's easy enough to get to all the main attractions. Bathrooms seem to have been recently updated. The accommodations are very basic. Just the minimum and no more, but it's doable. If you have little kids like us, and plan to stay for a while, there are a few things you may want to know. There is central air. The master bedroom is the warmest. All of the bedrooms are close together and the sound travels easily (baby crying). There is no washer/dryer and only a few towels. Also, it is a little drive to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. There is no yard for the kids to play in, but we did like the many small parks nearby. The house already has a crib, crib mattress, crib sheet, potty seat, and booster seat for the dining table. There are also some toys.

What a great stay! The house was spotless when we got there and check-in was simple. Mary responded to any questions we had and got back to us quickly. The beds were super comfortable and there was enough space for our family of five. Great location in the middle of everything and lots of options of places to eat. We would definitely stay there again when visiting!
