It seems that photos online tend to distort the reality of hotels and rentals. This house was great, but didn't look as good as the pics display. Plus, I failed to ask about AC (never assume). There was no AC in 80+ degree weather, so fans helped but it was a bit warm when heading to bed, especially upstairs. The neighbor across the street keeps a pretty shabby home, so it didn't always feel classy. That's the downside, but there were plenty of upsides, such as spacious, nice yard, good supplied, 2-3 blocks from Ocean, and ample TVs, Wifi, etc. While I would not likely return for the price paid, it was a great family experience for us overall.

We recently had the pleasure of staying and celebrating a 2024 New Year at The Grande House plus Studio in Point Loma, and it truly exceeded all expectations for a perfect vacation retreat. This charming property is ideally located, being close to the Cabrillo national park and numerous local attractions, making it an excellent choice for those seeking both relaxation and adventure and local restaurants.
One of the standout features of The Grande House is its spacious layout, comfortably accommodating a group of 10. The tastefully decorated interiors exude warmth and charm, creating a welcoming atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. The addition of the attached studio provides an extra level of privacy, making it an ideal option for larger groups or families.
Even dough we traveled without our dog that time, there is a dog-friendly backyard with fire pit and a gas grill.
The owner provided a few bicycles, which we used to ride to the shore and to the Shelter Island.
The proximity to the shore is another major advantage of this vacation house. A short and scenic walk takes you to the water's edge, allowing for breathtaking views and tranquil moments by the sea. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, beach lover, or someone simply seeking a peaceful escape, The Grande House offers the perfect balance.
The Grande House plus Studio in Point Loma is a gem of a vacation rental. Its combination of proximity to natural wonders, local attractions, and a pet-friendly.

This home was perfect for celebrating my dads 60th birthday. The rooms are very spacious and the home had everything we needed. The kitchen especially came in handy. The location was absolutely perfect for getting around to OB, downtown, abd mission beach. I was thankful they provided plenty of beach chairs and bikes. My only suggestion would be to look at the plumbing in the private guest house out back. Thats the room i stayed in and it had a very strong water mildew smell and the shower has trouble draining. I was able to cover the smell with air freshner and room scents. Good out weighed the bad. Very nice and comfortable stay.

We really enjoyed staying at Sunset Cliffs. Minutes from so much of what we wanted to do in SD. Great location and nice home.
The back home was a little underwhelming and could use an update but still comfortable.

Communication with rental agents was fantastic. Beautiful house great location just blocks from the ocean. Very quiet neighborhood loved the landscaping and lemon and orange trees. Plenty of room for our families and don’t think we had any complaints or problems during our one week visit.

Family Wedding Stay
This home is in a good neighborhood with a very short walk to the Sunset Cliffs. The house was beneficial because it had 4 bedrooms with ensuite baths, this was great for 4 adult couples.
The pictures of this property must be very old though. When in the home it is not as light and bright, the blinds are in some disrepair and hard to open and close. The master bath is dark because there is no lighting over the vanity mirror. There are only canned lights in the ceiling. and several were not working.
Some of the bedrooms had slow draining sinks/showers The bathroom in the studio/casita was the worst. The back yard looks very different. The outdoor furniture is not there and there is more vegetation growth so not as open.
The kitchen is very large and easy to move around. The sink faucet sprayer is in need of repair/replacement. The management company says that there is only a Keurig coffee maker but we did happily find a regular brew style coffee maker. There was adequate toilet paper provided but no kleenex. If you do actually plan to cook, you will need to provide oil and seasonings. We did not utilize the grill, fireplaces, bikes or fire pit. I recommend parking in the driveway and not bothering with the garage. Overall, the house fit our needs for this trip, just wish it had been a bit more accurate with the pictures.

Family Wedding Stay
This home was great because it had 4 bedrooms with ensuite baths. Sadly, the photos do not always match the current home.
The home was much darker inside and the blinds are hit and miss as far as working order. Hard to use and get that light. The master bath has several lights out. It is dark in that bathroom because there are no lights above the mirror on the vanity. All lights are cans in the ceiling and several are out.
The pictures of the yard are inaccurate. the furniture is gone and there is a lot of over growth so not so open and bright.
The kitchen is spacious but the sink faucet needs fixing or replacing. The management company claims that it only provides a Keurig but to our delight, there was a regular drip coffee maker.
Please make note....There is no HVAC...A/C and it can get warm at night.
Some of the baths have drainage issues, the studio/casita outside backs up in the sink and shower.
Overall, it is an awesome location but the pictures are old and deceiving. Suggest you just park in the driveway and do not mess with the garage.

Disappointing
As a family who lives to cook we planned meals in advance for 7 people. Upon arrival we tried to use the stove top, one burner did not work. I called to let the company know and was told please do not use the Stove top it is very dangerous!!!! Had I not called I would not have known this!! This fiasco with the stove went in the majority of the trip. We were leaving in a Sunday and on Friday they finally replaced the stove top. However, the replacement required cutting the countertop! Fine dust left everywhere and we had to scrub down everything!!!
All this in addition to having to now disregard the former prepared meals and eat out for 7 people.
Company refunded $504 , an insufficient amount considering the danger involved in not telling us about the stove, the inconvenience of our dining plans , the clean up time spent after the new stove top was put in and the aggravation of being on the phone constantly with the company instead of enjoying my vacation!
Be very careful dealing with the company associated with this property- Nancy’s Vacation !

Ideallic San Diego Location
We had a wonderful time escaping to the sunshine during the week of Thanksgiving. The house had everything we needed and was a super quick walk to Sunset Cliffs, and easy drive to the beach, and located in a quiet neighborhood. We will be back!

Great property!
This house worked great for our group. A couple of the pictures were slightly inaccurate so we had to improvise with the sleeping arrangements. There was no futon in the granny pod and the upstairs loft area futon is very old and not useable for sleeping. But overall was a great place to stay, very very clean and we would stay again.

Perfect multi family home
This property was the perfect rental for our extended family there were four separate sleeping areas each with its own full bath. The kitchen was well stocked and very roomy to accommodate a large family. Nice seating area in back yard and enclosed so safe for kids to play. Just blocks from sunset cliffs and beach.

Great family getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Pictures represented the house accurately. The home is very close to the Cliffs and we enjoyed its location in Point Loma. Jensen’s grocery store is 5 minutes away and very convenient for family shopping.

Family friendly & great location!
We really enjoyed our stay in this spacious home. It's a great layout for multiple families, as there are plenty of bathrooms and well-arranged bedrooms. We appreciated the abundance of kitchen utensils and the high quality appliances, as we cooked almost every breakfast and dinner during our week-long stay. The furniture has been changed from what is shown in the listing photos, so it's not quite as stylish as it appears online, but we were satisfied with what was provided. We had two young children (1 and 3 years old) in our party, and felt very safe letting them play in the area without having to helicopter over them too much. The backyard is small, but we spent most of our time exploring San Diego, so it was enough for us! There are several great nearby restaurants with delivery service (not walking distance, but close enough for a quick turnaround via Uber Eats), and close to the cliffs for a scenic beach walk. We would definitely stay at this location again!

Great rental for large group with small children!
San Diego never disappoints.
The house could use better kitchen utensils and cooking equipment. Also the lighting overall is poor - especially upstairs.
Comfortable and clean - we were pleased.

Great Location!
We were a group of 6 guys visiting San Diego to attend a conference at the San Diego Convention Center, and this house was perfect. Plenty of space to spread out and relax after a long day. The location was terrific, just a few blocks walk to the cliffs and a fantastic cafe called Little Lion. If you are looking for more action, hop on a bird and scooter to downtown OB in minutes. Plenty of local breweries , shops, and restaurants.

Live that San Diego Life!
We rented this home along with my sister and brother-in-law, parents, and the five grandkids (one was an infant, so we stayed in the spirit of the 10-person maximum). Our week was ideal in every way. The home is centrally located to all the sights we wanted to see; the kitchen was perfect for all the adults to gather in and cook together; the backyard is a little oasis - our favorite memory will be how we opened the doors and flowed inside and outside for meals on the patio. That was what spoke WEST COAST LIFE to me.The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, within walking distance of the cliffs. We enjoyed a family stroll each evening.
Coming from the Deep South where we love our chilled homes in summer, we were concerned about the lack of air conditioning. Thankfully, fans are provided (though they're a bit noisy). You MUST leave the windows open with the blinds drawn through the day, however. Once we learned how to cool the house off, we were comfortable. The beds and bedding are of good quality and we slept decently well. The guest house, however, can be sweltering. You might not want to depend on it if you're renting in July or August.
This home is spacious and attractive; however, it is showing some cosmetic issues and wear and tear as one could expect after multiple renters. Do note: We had an appliance issue during our visit, but one call to the managing company and it was immediately addressed.
We would stay here again, but we might try to book in June.

Great house and location
My family loved our time in San Diego at the house on Granger street. It’s a little further from the beach than we had expected, but that didn’t really pose a problem. The house is big and airy and provided plenty of room for our group of 7. The outdoor table is perfect for evening meals. The kitchen is huge and had lots of supplies. My only criticisms are of the stove top, which just really needs to be replaced, and the water and ice maker where their design led to repeated water spills. The upstairs master is enormous and very comfortable. I would highly recommend this house, and I would stay there again.

Lovely, immaculate house with plenty of room for family and friends.
The house feels so much larger than it is. It was very clean and beautifully decorated. The upstairs is like a master suite retreat. We had 8 adults in our group and we never felt crowded or cramped. The kitchen was a dream to cook and serve in. Our family was visiting San Diego to celebrate my daughters graduation from SDSU and the house was the perfect fit for the BBQ get together. Everyone who walked into the house said "Wow! What a great house!" The beds were super comfy and our adult son loved having the cottage all to himself. We also loved the location... It was conveniently close to all of the places we went. I just can't say enough good things about this place. Thank you for making our trip seamless and so enjoyable.

Rental was clean and quiet. Kitchen was spacious and great for multiple cooks. Good Location.
This house was great for our three-generation family ( 8 adults, 2 young children) with the exception of accessibility for our senior in a wheelchair. While the management company was helpful in furnishing a shower bench, the one they left would not fit in either of the first floor showers! With just a few changes, this house could be wheelchair friendly, attracting a much larger clientele. Changes needed: Ramp to enter/exit house, Grab bars for toilets and showers, Handheld shower head in shower. fyi: bed in front bedroom is a usable height, but in the back bedroom the bed is too high to get into. The master suite on the second floor is very nice. The shower in the "Granny pad" is too small to turn around in. While we did not use the bicycles, the tire pump was very handy for inflating tires on the wheelchair. Minor maintenance issues that should be addressed: seal on dryer falls out, many of the wands on blinds are missing or do not work, sink stopper in downstairs front bathroom is broken, left sink in upstairs bath was running slowly, HDMI cable missing on livingroom TV . We liked having games available.

Great house in an outstanding location
The location of the property is simply amazing. It is a couple of blocks from the cliffs overlooking the ocean, and a mile from the business hub of one of the coolest neighborhoods in San Diego, with wonderful places to eat and play. The house is beautiful with all of the modern amenities, clean, and well- maintained, and very comfortable. It was a great home away from home as our group (faculty and graduate students from our university) came to attend a large research conference.

Good house, great location
We really enjoyed the location of the property. Each morning began with a run, and the location allows quick access to the coastline. The downtown area (1 mile away) offers plenty of options for dining along with a couple of neat/nice markets to stock up on essentials. The set-up of the property is great. A nice big kitchen with family seating just off of that. Adequately sized additional bedrooms and bathrooms with a very nice sized master suite and bath. Although we did not use the studio, it is a nice addition. The home provides beach chairs and bikes, which is a great add-on for the experience. The neighborhood is great, and provides a really comfortable feeling of security.
We only experienced a couple of challenges during our week-long stay. We had 2 smoke detector batteries (on consecutive nights) die, leading to each of the alarms sounding during the sleeping hours of the night. The rental company couldn't have really foreseen such an event, and I purchased batteries the next morning at the market to resolve the problem. The second challenge is in the lack of an HVAC unit. Despite our efforts to close blinds and prevent the sun from entering the house during the day, we found that the home was very warm at night. They provided multiple fans, which we utilized - but the weather was a little warmer than normal perhaps, and open windows at night just weren't enough to cool the property down to a comfortable sleeping temperature. The studio apartment was a sauna, and we did not use it at all after entering it on the first day. Again, this is not the rental agencies "fault". Just dumb luck perhaps, but I would have definitely preferred there to be a way to actively cool the home.
Overall we found the staff at Nancy's to be very helpful in the booking process, and although we did not phone them for anything during our stay, I'm quite sure they would've been ready to help in any way they could. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for the peace and tranquility described in Nancy's Vacation Rental posting.

Vacation Family Holiday Home
This large house was a good selection for our family for a Thanksgiving holiday. We had three families and three grandchildren. There was adequate room. The master bedroom upstairs was enormous. It could accommodate a crib in the massive closet. Almost too much space. The two other bedrooms in the first floor were fine. They were very near the living area and the sound traveled freely in the house so it was not quiet if others were up. The casita in the back was OK - not as nice as the accommodations in the main house. We didn't use it during out stay. Able to bring a dog - $90 extra cleaning fee (ouch!) but they do allow them.
The kitchen was large and well-equiped. Plenty of room for myriad chefs during Thanksgiving. The location of the property is very nice. Easy walk to Sunset Cliffs and short drive to the beach, downtown, etc. The management company was very good. They responded to requests quickly and were available whenever needed (not needed often). I would recommend this location and property.

Excellent for large families
We stayed at the house because our son was graduating from Pt. Loma Nazarene University. It was perfect for our situation. We had several family members (with families of their own) and the rooms/space was perfect.
The room with the bunk beds was perfect for my sister's family, who had small children.
The master bedroom's closet was as big as one of the bedrooms! The master bedroom was spacious with a
great ceiling. The master bathroom was also spacious. The hot water was immediate, which was great.
The kitchen had plenty of room, which was great, because we often had too many cooks in the kitchen. We also rented the cottage, which gave my dad his own space. Although, they need to put more signage up or warn people about the stairs in the bathroom. My dad is 84 years old and did not realize that there were stairs and tripped. Luckily he was able to catch himself, but it could have been a bad situation. (Maybe some reflective tape on the edges?) The little fireplace in the cottage was very effective. Also, the carpet in the living room needs to be shampooed and/or cleaned and/or replaced. We arrived late in the evening and needed extra bedding for my family. It would be nice if the rental agency let us know ahead of time where the extra sheets, comforters and towels were so we could find them easily upon arrival. The combination lock on the door was very helpful, as we didn't need to worry about keys. Also, the rental agency was able to give us an early check in (for the family members that arrived early), which was wonderful, as they had small children with them (and it was raining). It would be nice to be able to just leave the house when we left. I stayed up late washing dishes and wiping down counters, per instructed in the email from the rental agency. The house has pretty much everything you need: hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner (although my brother was looking for a BAR of soap and ended up buying one), lots of pots and pans, Tupperware, etc. LOTS of mugs, cups, silverware, knives too. Couldn't figure out the espresso machine. Sunset cliffs is within walking distance and is a great place to watch the sunset, or ride bikes (which were also a great thing that they have in the garage). we didn't use the firepit, but wanted to. Nice big yard. Overall, a wonderful place to stay, especially for a large family or multiple families.

Excellent House
My family stayed here for a weekend to celebrate my daughters first birthday. The house is in a great location, a close walk to OB and a couple block walk to the ocean. The house has a great setup for BBQing and hanging out, and was very toddler freindly with lots of space. The rental company was super freindly and helpful, they arranged an early check-in time which was nice. We had a great time and hopefully will have a chance to rent the house again.

My family enjoyed staying at this wonderful rental for a family reunion. There was plenty of room and the kitchen was big enough for everyone to do their own thing in. The rooms were more than big enough for two or more for sleeping and the master bedroom worked out great for my son and his small children with the crib/playpen set up. We enjoyed the BBQ and the fire pit in the evenings and the studio was a perfect get away for those who want more privacy. It is an easy walk to the cliffs and we enjoyed watching the sunsets. Stores are close by and convenient for those last minute needs. We will definitely be using this rental service for any future needs. The staff was wonderful to work with and was very helpful in making sure we had everything we needed for the reunion.

The home was in very good condition and we had a great time here. We stayed over the 4th of July and could see fireworks from the deck and also from the backyard...very nice to avoid the crowds! Cliffs are easy walking distance at about 4 blocks. One caution...we were told that the backyard was secure for a dog, but the fence on the side of the house is a 2 foot tall wrought iron gate that my pekingese (and I did tell them my dog was small) was easily able to slip through and be out front. We had gates in case we needed to gate her in the house, and were able to block it, so it worked out, but keep that in mind if you take any dog. Our friends had planned to bring their beagle but did not..but she could have probably jumped the fence. We had 12 people there-and were able to accommodate all without utilizing the couch in the master bedroom so that was nice. Gas stove was a little tricky but worked well once we got the hang of it. 2 of the bikes had flat tires, but we had enough bikes without them. Dining room looks much bigger in the pictures, but it is accurately described as seating 6. The seating area out back is very nice, we ate most of our meals out there. Service was good, we would definitely recommend this property.
