We had a great stay in this darling cottage. We particularly enjoyed using the fire pit and the outdoor kitchen, and the comfy beds. This was also a great neighborhood for renting, with many good restaurants and coffee shops in walking distance. (We have no comments regarding host communication, as we had no issues and did not need to interact with the host during the day)

This place looked good on Vrbo, but turned out to be even better than it looked. A small bungalow with a gorgeous quaint courtyard. The host is fantastic in that everything you could possibly want was in the kitchen and in the house. I came here to visit my daughter and my grandson. We had a Fourth of July cookout here and it was so much fun. If I come back to San Diego, I’m gonna try to get the same property.

Great location. The property was exactly as billed. Wonderful stay!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
Exceptional stay! We searched for weeks and couldn't find the right fit for our stay in San Diego and stumbled upon this one. I honestly couldn't book fast enough and was worried it was too good to be true. But the location was perfect, the home was perfect, so clean and comfortable, and had everything we could ever need. Seriously, this was the best stocked home we've ever stayed in. The beds were and pillows were so comfortable. And I think we spent 90% of our time on the back patio. It's a small house but even for a family of 4 (two kids under 10) with 4 suitcases, it was perfect. The neighborhood was great and quiet and we loved exploring the restaurants and shops. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
