Stayed with family and friends for 3 nights. Pros 1. Property is huge with a big lot area 2. Located in a nice place and close to LaJolla shores 3. Sufficient to sleep 8-10 people 4. Worth the price and minus the cons Cons 1. Not maintained properly- backyard needs some serious cleaning 2. BBQ was so dirty that we had to drop out plan for bbq 3. Not everything that’s mentioned online would be available - the hot water tub wasn’t clean, wagon wasn’t available, surfboard was in a bad condition 4. In 3 days, came across living rooms lights not working, toilet over flowing

I should have been suspicious when the owner didn't allow inspection of the property before renting and the payment was listed as non-refundable. When we arrived we were surprised to find how run down and shabby the property was. The highlight is the grass area behind the house but the house itself is a tear down. Then the furnace quit during a very cold time. Dan told us to look up how to light the pilot light which we did and we worked to get heat following all his and the internet's instruction to no avail. We FROZE for two of our three nights and Dan never showed up nor did any repair people. He later claimed we had turned off a switch which caused the problem. All possible combinations of switches, pilots, etc were tried over a period of hours and nothing worked. We asked Dan for a day's refund and he didn't even respond. This is a bad property and a dishonest property owner in a good location. RENTER BEWARE!

We had an amazing experience with this home and homeowner Dan! The property is set up perfectly and the pictures don’t do it justice. We loved the location and restaurants nearby. Also, the hot tub was incredible after a day at the festival. We were a 15 minute uber from downtown. The neighborhood is very nice and is in a good location. While the home is older, it is in great shape and met our needs perfectly. Dan was extremely nice and always responded quickly, just an all around great guy. We will definitely consider booking here in the future!

Dan the property manager is very cordial but this property desperately needs some TLC and maintenance. To list a few examples, the screens are torn, the sliding doors work poorly, the bathrooms are rundown and in need of new toilet seats, the walls need painting, the carpet is filthy, the blinds are the old cheapest plastic type and don't work properly, the kitchen range doesn't work properly, the kitchen floor needs replacing, the towels are mismatched and stained, the grounds are unkept and full of weeds, there is a non-running car in the driveway taking up one of the parking spots, there are no ceiling fans, and the lighting in most rooms is inadequate.

Had a good stay with our family. Dan is attentive throughout your stay if you need anything. Nice location and our kids had a great time exploring the grounds. The house could use some updating however after seeing the ad and reading the reviews we weren’t surprised by anything and overall was good.

We stayed for three nights while attending our son's military bootcamp graduation. The property is what made the weekend so fun. We played volleyball with our new Marines, and their families and our friends, while grilling and making cocktails all evening. Later in the evening we all went hot tubbing, while all the teenagers (6 of them) hung out at the fire pit. The next day we all walked to the beach, 11 of us, which was a very nice walk about 5 blocks thru beautiful La Jolla. We had dinner and walked back. It was so fun and the teens talked about making it an annual trip. Great location too. I think the property is what makes this rental special. It reminded me of an old lake house. Which made the whole experience really neat!

This is a great family vacation house for a family or large group of people on a budget in the super expensive area of la Jolla. Location is great and plenty of space. If your looking for something newer with updated decor or furniture, this place is not for you. I will be staying here again in the future

We rented the place for a girls weekend/bachelorette! It was a great experience and everything went amazing. The house has a lot of space and easily accommodated our large group. Dan was great and available at all times to answer our questions.
