The pool, hot tub and yard were amazing! The house had a bit of an odor and my granddaughter’s allergies bothered her the week we were there. The top rack of the dishwasher was broken and the air conditioner went out the first full day we were there. Joe suggested that it was our fault for leaving doors open and stressed the system, but we live in KY & never leave doors open with air on. The unit was very old & needed replacement but to Joe’s credit he did have his student deliver 3 portable a/c units & 3 box fans, it was a holiday weekend and the technician was not available. The home was well appointed with plenty of everything we needed to eat and cook with and there was ample seating. However, the main floor couch cushions kept poking us with feathers. We had a one and a four year old with us so we had to put a few things up when we first arrived such as vases that were sitting on the side of the hutch and glass vases on the coffee table full of shells that practically begged the kids to touch them. There are stairs up to the bedrooms and down to the basement. Just something to consider if you have kids. Also no tub to bathe little ones. There was also written warning about a neighbor that likes to call the cops if you are loud which wasn’t an issue for us. All in all it was a great stay in a comfortable place for 8 of us with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms & in an excellent location

This was such a lovely home, perfect for a San Diego vacation!

I have mixed feelings about this place. The host was communicative and accommodating, allowing flexibility with check in time which we greatly appreciated. The house is in a great location, just a short drive from most things you want to do in San Diego. The house is well stocked and comfortable. The beautiful backyard, pool/hot tub is what sells the place. However, the pool was unusable our first 3 days which was a waste. The pool was 103 degrees! Our kids ages 6-10 couldn’t go in for safety reasons but even the adults didn’t want to use it (not a refreshing or cooling pool experience). The pool heat switch was off. But the owner assumed it was “just the sun” causing the overheat, and delayed calling a technician. When the tech finally came out he DID find an issue, the pool immediately cooled down, and we got only 2 of 5 days use out of it. The surface areas of the house were mostly clean but we had to vacuum dog hair off furniture. And the house needs deep cleaning — in the twin room where I stayed with my child, I went to find a plug and found layers of dust, spider webs, and 4 living spiders behind our beds!! I had to clean and bug treat before I could fathom laying my head there. The owner should disclose in the listing this is his residence; it feels very lived in and some rooms you cannot use storage because they’re filled with personal items. Dishwasher rack was broken and difficult to use. Washing machine has issues and stops mid cycle.

This property had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. The house was spacious, well-maintained, and exceptionally clean. The outdoor area was the highlight of our stay, featuring a beautiful pool, spa, and plenty of comfortable seating for relaxing and spending time together.Communication with the property owner was prompt and helpful whenever we had questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely check the availability of this property for our next trip to San Diego.
