This feels like \"home\" Can't I Just Live Here?
About this condo rental
It just feels so warm and inviting, so homey! Can't I just live here?" Has been the comment I have heard most often from visitors and guests. In this ultra-stressful environment where smelling and tasting comfort food just feels like a big hug, similarly having a warm, welcoming and home-feeling place to come back to while having a get-away can feel stabilizing and reassuring as well. And on that note, the kitchen is very well-equipped for cooking meals. We had a November 25th guest who cooked an entire Thanksgiving meal for her family there. My goal for this apartment was to spare no expense in creating an environment very different from the typical vacation rental that I (myself!) seem to always end up staying in... Perhaps I have bad luck, or maybe my expectations are too high, but I feel like I pay good money and my experiences have all too often fallen short. Part of the problem is that I am a homebody and so the place we stay actually matters to me A LOT. Too often I have felt like I was given starkly furnished dorm-room feeling places albeit in good locations, but with haphazard thrift shop type wall hangings, rickety dining chairs, questionable linens, mismatched plastic cups that clearly were not supposed to be washed in the dishwasher, loose knobs or loose electrical outlets and bottom-of-the-line appliances such as coffee machines that don't pause if you pull the carafe out while the coffee is still brewing... My family has stay in vacation rentals in expensive places like Mammoth and Big Bear yet the words that seem to come to mind so often are "stark, dark, dingy, run-down, and/or deferred maintenance." It is from this perspective that I hope to deliver a different sensation, I want guests to feel like they are staying at a relative's home where they trust you not to destroy or steal their nice things and where they get pleasure in making sure that everything is 'just so' so that you can just hang out and enjoy yourself. Hopefully I have pulled it off to at least some degree! That being said, this apartment is ideal for people who want to travel light, forgoing the whole liquid/baggage check process (and eliminates risk of leaked toiletries) for those wishing to avoid packing shampoo/conditioner/body wash/lotion/etc (and are not opposed to using other brands). There are "turban towels" for wet hair in addition to the normal bath linens. Included is a huge variety of single use (you take it you keep it COVID-aware disposable type) toiletries like disposable razors and hair bands on top of the basics. It also is stocked with easy to forget items like birthday candles, batteries, phone chargers, extension cords, Tylenol, cough drops, laxative teas, etc. It comes equipped with a well-lit bathroom, shower shaving mirror, and a small 10x magnification mirror for make-up. There are convenience items available for purchase such as postage stamps, snacks, refreshments, and rolls of quarters. It is also ideal for people who are unstructured vacation non-planners; people who have a few ideas of what to do but for the most part let their vacations shape themselves. The living space was designed to offer many entertainment ideas/options at your fingertips. Spending quality time making memories comes naturally when there are lots of fun things to do together that you don't even have to go out of your way to plan. For instance, it is equipped with Wifi, board games, art supplies/sketch pads, puzzles, conversation starters, word/puzzle/adult coloring books, beach and snow equipment, bird watching equipment (there's a wetland across the street with benches and walking paths), literally dozens of books in a great variety of genres, ROCU TVs/DVD players/dozens of DVDs in both the living room and bedroom, kites, boogie boards, picnic equipment, backyard game equipment (like badminton), sporting equipment, and quirky things like a magnetic Scrabble set that hangs on the wall make them all the more fun. The patio is great for spending sunny days lounging in the hammock, sitting in front of the firepit, cooking on the BBQ, or just enjoying a meal and glass of wine out in the fresh air. The apartment was just renovated from head to toe, inside and out so almost everything is brand new and state of the art. If you don't feel tech-savvy you will have no problem operating anything - basic functions are simple and even so there are directions for everything. However, if you enjoy getting all the bells and whistles, you will appreciate all the options, which also are explained in step-by-step detail. Things such as keyless entry, which is much more convenient than even hotel cards because you need nothing but to know your code to lock and unlock your door. I recall thinking to myself the first time "for Pete's sake you could be stark naked and still never get locked out...!" Wireless headphones mean that one person can watch TV while the other talks on the phone and neither interferes with the other. ROCU TVs allow you to watch a large variety of recorded and live TV and movies and also to use your phone as a remote and your voice to search for programming. The air conditioner and heater will have you nice and toasty (or ice boxed) in no time plus if you like, you can operate them remotely from your phone. (warming up your place while you are on your way back to the apartment) Obviously COVID is top of mind for... well the entire planet! In the apartment you will find plenty of disinfectants, antibacterial hand soap and even masks. But you will also find that the linens have been washed in bleach and hot water and that every knob, remote and touch-point has been carefully sanitized.

Kim's an excellent host. The apartment is equipped with everything you might need during your stay (and I mean EVERYTHING - the only thing we didn't find was sunscreen). Especially useful was Kim's list of cool stuff to do around SD.
The location is very convenient and practical for both local drives and accessing the hwy's and Seaworld.
Would stay here again. Joe

Kim was amazing, and the accomodations were immaculate. She had a pack'n'play, high chair and stroller, everything we needed for our vacation that we thankfully didn't have bring with.
The location is perfect, close to great beaches and great food. Would highly recommend to anyone!

This place is so cozy and comfortable and Kim is awesome. She thought of everything to make this place amazing. This is by far the best BnB I have ever stayed at. We were in town for my son's wedding. We stayed 5 nights here and it was the perfect place to go back to and relax after all the wedding happenings. The beach neccesites she allows you to use are perfect, no need to pack anything from home for a beach day as she has it all. The quarters for laundry and the little "snack store" were perfect!! Thank you Kim for your hospitality, and if I am ever able to get back to San Deigo this will be our go to place!! 😊

I booked Kim’s property because I could tell that she was a real person committed to helping her guests enjoy their stay, and she didn’t disappoint! She allowed us to check in early on a day when we would have had to lug our things around between accommodations, and she even met us and gave us a tour. The apartment was cozy and comfortable, very clean and well organized, and full of ideas for places to eat and things to see. My kids were comfy on the futon and a floor futon that was supplied. We enjoyed grilling out on the patio and watching planes take off overhead. Would definitely stay again. Oh, and we enjoyed a delicious pie supplied in the freezer!

Kim’s communication was above and beyond. The property itself was outstanding. She has thought of everything you could need while staying there. It did feel like a home away from home. We would book again in a heartbeat!

The little things are the difference between hotels and rentals, Kim nails this. The details, little extras, back patio, and location makes this location a must.

Kim was a phenomenal, helpful, kind, and communicative host. Everything in the place was curated to make our visit as stress free as possible. The apartment is wonderful, the bed and futon were both comfortable, and every thing we wanted to do in SD was at the most a short drive away. This place is a 10/10. Thank you Kim!

Comfortable and centrally located. Felt very safe. Very well stocked kitchen and perfect for cooking meals (but the food in San Diego is too good to stay home and cook!)

Very cute and comfy little place, well stocked with necessities and everything in good working order. Location was super convenient, close to beach and local attractions. Kim the manager was very attentive and helpful, we really enjoyed our stay.

This VRBO had everything we needed -- beach gear, dishes, cleaning products, toiletries -- making it so easy to pack and have fun without worry! Kim is awesome as well, answering all our questions and dropping off more garbage bags when we ran out.

We had a wonderful get away here. Kim was an excellent host. She took the time to show us how everything worked as well as suggestions on great places to visit. It really was as like staying at a friend or family’s vacation spot. Just about anything you might have forgotten was there and thought about for guests. The property was close to the beach and sightseeing. The perfect spot. We would definitely recommend to others. .Thank you Kim for making this a wonderful place to relax and enjoy.

This property was nice, clean and cute. Kim had about everything imaginable stocked, including beach gear. She was easily accessible and met us at the property to give us a tour when we arrived. The location felt safe, and we were able to lock our bike rentals up outside without worry of them getting stolen. We were so happy with our stay, and would like to come back with our daughters in the future!

The pros:
• centrally located to everything
• everything you possibly need or forgot to bring is provided
• check in/out super easy
• quiet/safe neighborhood
The cons:
• this is a x3 unit property and if neighbors are loud you can hear everything
• the back yard/patio area is shared with all units and can get cramped if multiple families are using it
• parking is tight and not advised for a larger SUV or full size truck

Amazing host - informative before visit as well as while we were there. Had some problems with the A/C and Kim was definitely on top of it and made sure we were well taken care of.

I stayed over thanksgiving, my son was stationed at Coronado Naval Base and I cooked thanksgiving dinner for him and some of his friends. Kim went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed to make the dinner successful! If he ends up back in the San Diego area I would definitely rent the same property!

We loved this property, inside and out! It ranks only second to the apartment in Paris, and that is because that was Paris, so unfair comparison. It is a close second to that. despite how far away it is from the Louvre and Seine River. I stayed alone and felt completely safe, and when I asked to include a grandchild as an overnight guest, that request was promptly considered and granted. This was not a vacation trip, but a difficult family event, but the beauty of the accommodations gave us moments of vacation-like bliss, laughter and relaxation. I would return to any property owned and managed by Kim; she’s absolutely the best, and thinks of everything for her guest’s comfort. All the stars!

It was perfect for our family vacation. The location of the Property was great. Kim the host was very informative and helpful before, during and after our stay. The shared patio was wonderful for evening barbeques and hanging by the fire pit. It was well equipped with toys for the kids, a stroller, pack and play for beach day, and all the toys for the sand. The kids were always entertained. The kitchen was fully stocked with K-cup for coffee, seasoning for cooking. There was also a storage cabinet stocked with supplies in case we forgot anything. We defiantly will be back next year for our yearly visit to S.D. Thank you so much for making this year memorable.

Everything you're reading in all the reviews are true. Honestly, all our vrbo stays have been pleasant but this has been the best, by far.
This is a top floor apartment with plenty of privacy. Quite neighborhood. Free fireworks show every night viewable from the bedroom window. No accommodation missed. Kim even left a pie in the freezer with a bow on it. You can just feel the love.
Centrally located to everything worth visiting in San Diego and truly a home away from home. We actually didn't do as much as we planned because we were just so cozy and didn't want to leave the house! Relax or explore. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you Kim. We'll be back!

Amazing stay!!
This was our first time staying in or using VRBO and I must say it was an amazing stay. The home was meticulous and Kim thought of everything. We had way more then we needed, we appreciate Kim and her taking great care of us. If your looking for a great place and great people, look into staying here. We will be coming back every year to stay in San Diego. Our grandkids had a blast and me and the wife were pleased beyond belief. Thank you again Kim!

Kim really goes out of her way to make sure we know everything about the place, which is perfect because the pull out couch is a two person operation. Plus if you forgot anything on your trip she has extras in the condo. A huge plus is the beach equipment that you can use during your stay (chairs, sand tools, umbrella and body boards)

I stayed here with my 15-year-old daughter and her best friend for two nights. I wish we would have stayed for an entire week. The location is fantastic and the host, Kim, provided an outstanding list of places to go and things to do. I should have stayed for a week because we only got to a few of the things on her list and I wish we could have done more. The apartment is very centrally located and close to so many things. It's walking distance from shopping, restaurants and more. We had a car so I can't comment on public transportation in the area. The place itself was beautifully decorated with so many incredibly thoughtful touches, from the amazing coffee bar to the first aid kit to the cupboard with toiletries you might have forgotten! The girls loved making s'mores over the fire pit on the back shared patio, which is another reason for renting this place. Seriously, the backyard is amazing! Kim has even provided a cupboard in the back yard with everything you need for a day at the beach. Stop looking for a place to stay in San Diego. This is it!!!

My son and I stayed here for the weekend while visiting my other son who lives in San Diego. The location is within an easy drive of most coastal activities, and we enjoyed exploring Ocean Beach, the Sunset Cliffs area, and Liberty Station. The only drawback to the location is that it's quite close to the airport, but the owner has addressed that with triple-paned windows which keep the noise to a minimum. Booking and communication with Kim, the owner, could not have been easier or more pleasant; she provided us with detailed checkin instructions in advance of our arrival as well as a list of things to do, and met us for a brief tour when we arrived. The property was compact but extremely well-equipped, and had a lovely shared patio in back with a hammock, fire pit, and outdoor table perfect for playing games or dining. There were also beach toys, chairs, coolers, etc., all in top condition. Inside, the space was cozy and charming; bed and fold-out couch were both very comfortable, TV with Roku and DVDs were provided, as well as plenty of games. We didn't do a lot of cooking, but the kitchen had everything one would need for a longer stay (including spices, condiments, etc.) and a selection of coffee, tea and cocoa. All pots, pans, dishes, etc. were in excellent shape, as were the bed linens and towels. It's obvious that Kim focuses on the details that make for a very pleasant and comfortable stay for her guests, and we look forward to booking again soon.

After staying with Kim, I honestly did want to live at her place. I stayed there with my girlfriend for her 31st bday and so we could look at houses and interview for a job. Kim made my gf's birthday so special with a bottle of wine and some candles. She does not overlook a single thing you might possibly need to be comfy and enjoy the best SD has to offer. I'm not sure I will ever love a stay-away-from-home as much as I loved staying at Kim's. Now that we're neighbors, we've made plans to invite her to our housewarming. I've also told everyone who has said they'll visit that they should consider staying with her (alas our place is pretty small for visitors). THANK YOU KIM!
