This is the first disappointing experience with VRBO in 20 years. We traveled from NC and called when we arrived at 1:00 for an early check-in. We were told no, not until 3pm. We arrived at 4 and the cleaning ladies were on the way out the door. They helped a few of us with our bags. When we entered the house windows were open and it did not smelled like it had just been cleaned. I smelled like it had been closed up for a while. It looked more like someone had come in and wiped down the place. Dirt was on the hard wood floors, the banister was sticky, stains on white leather sofa and the bathrooms were not cleaned well. The location was on a dead end street and a not so desirable neigborhood. We immediately called VRBO because there was no directions left in the house on who to call if we needed assistance. They gave us 4 numbers for the property manager. We left several messages and did not hear back from her until late Monday(poor communication) we arrived on Sunday. We chose not to stay due to feeling unsafe in an unclean house. We went to a hotel (Hilton Garden Inn) and spent the remainder of our vacation. The owner did reach out via email to state the cost of the house and that he had not had any issues with safety at that property. We were told by several Uber drivers that was an unsafe area, especially for older women.We were never offered any solutions to our concerns and therefore had to spend the week in a hotel.

The house was beautiful, clean, and had all the necessities we required for our trip. We would stay again. The only things worth mentioning is that there was a few homeless living right next to the house (they didn't bother us, and they are pretty prevalent in ocean beach already), and the airport is nearby so you can hear the planes! We tuned both out so the stay was still very much worth it!

We had a great time at this property. It was spacious. We were able to bbq and it accommodated 4 adults and four kids between 5-11 years old without issues. It is close to the beach which also makes it very convenient.

We never saw anything indicating there was an additional unit below the garage. We planned a gathering for my daughters graduation with family and felt a bit weird when the guests in the studio entered their unit - we weren’t affected but the first time they came down the steps my daughters were in their room and surprised to see strangers coming down the spiral stairs. All in all the house met all our needs perfectly and we appreciated the amenities and the prompt response to questions!

Very nice place with all the amenities and comfort of home. Thanking Mark for allowing us (7 adults and 1 toddler) an early check-in and noon check-out. My son really enjoyed his weekend birthday getaway in Point Loma Heights (close to everything). We had to ensure all dishes were washed and put away, understandably so because cleaning services charge per dish. (I know this from personal experience.) We toddler proofed the upper level by rearranging the furniture. Upon communicating with Mark, I was allowed to leave it that way. The only problem encountered was my granddaughter (Emory) dominating the TV; she had all of us watching Ms. Rachel from YouTube, a baby learning show. There's only one TV on the property. Glad we were exploring most of our 4 day, 3 night birthday getaway stay.

Great home for a large group, plenty of space and bathrooms. Clean, nicely decorated, great natural light, spacious rooms. Owner was responsive to a few requests including providing a few additional serving dishes. Check out process was a breeze. The only thing I would note, which others had as well, is the table is small for the number of people the house can sleep. This can be seen in the photos so we weren't surprised, but something to consider if you plan to do group meals. We cooked one night and 6 sat at the table and 4 were at the island.

We had a great time with our family here, the house was very clean, had everything we needed and we enjoyed the outdoor patio area with the BBQ. Our host was very accommodating and helpful. We were able to walk to the beach from the house, and it was just a hop and a skip away from many great sightseeing places like Cabrillo Point Loma and Sunset Cliffs! We also enjoyed the local Restaurants and Bars like Mitch's Seafood and The Reunion Pub. We would love to book this house again!!! Highly recommended!!!! 5 stars!!!!

Was a great place to stay with family before wedding. Close to just about anywhere we needed to be. Enjoyed it very much.
