Quick and easy to get to all of the attractions. House was great for the family, a lot to do while hanging out. Only downside was we couldn't use the waterslide because it was too rough. Left scrapes on the kids. Otherwise this place was great and we would stay again

Nice backyard

Backyard was great. The pool and slide were nice. Had some issues with the hottub, but someone came and looked at it promptly. The games outside were great for the family. Bedrooms were adequate. We ran out of serving spoons for Thanksgiving dinner, but otherwise well stocked. Plenty of towels, toilet paper and laundry detergent/dish soap.

Perfect Getaway Home

This house was perfect for our group. 5 rooms with beds. Clean bathrooms. The pool was very nice and the outdoor activities were a bonus. It was nice to sit in the backyard by the fire pit and have coffee or a beer. House was very spacious and accommodated us nicely. My only suggestion would be ceiling fans for the rooms, but other than that, a perfect stay. I would absolutely love to come back again. – House is close to SD Downtown. Maybe a 15 drive. Easy access to the freeway and a Target + Mall is literally 3 min away.

Annual SD trip

Nice home with ample rooms, not the most charming of neighborhoods but is close to shopping centers/ food/gas. We had problems with getting the house to cool to below 75 despite the temps outside being about the same with minimal circulation in the bedrooms and converted garage bunk room. Outside area was fun for the kids, however there is an ABUNDANCE of spider activity present. We had issues with hot tub on day 4/7 and it was not remedied during our stay despite immediate conversations with host and a pool man who never showed. So that was Disappointing. The rock slide is fun however it does need to be refinished, all 5 of the kids have holes in board shorts/tattered swim bottoms by the end of day 2. Overall convenient location but an exterminator and annual AC check up could go a long way.

Great place with some concerns.

I'm giving this home 4 stars. Not a 5 because of these various issues: 1). The master bedroom with the large voltage ceilings off the kitchen had some mostly dying flying insects that we had to clean up. At first we thought they were ants but then we determined they were termites. They do not bite. We collected about 30 of them, again, mostly dead. Could not determine where they were coming from but after we cleaned up the 30 the first night/second day, we saw no more. The host was willing to come over and investigate so they were attentive. 2). Not many utensils (forks, spoons, etc). Or larger serving bowls. There's no way we could have done a Thanksgiving type meal with the kitchen supplies provided. Think simple meals here. 3). Areas of painted concrete in the pool area are very slick. One fall in our group. 4). The slide might rip your suit. They need to resurface it or something. One suit was torn. 5). Power washing is needed on the exterior. To remove the spider webs. The exterior needs to be cleaned better. Maybe a deep clean throughout. 6). The bath tubs are very slick and there is no $8 mat to help keep you from falling. We purchased two, used them, and then left one for one of the master bedrooms. 7). A lot of general wear and tear. So don't expect "well maintained". It's maintained at a minimum. 8). We were a group of ten and there was not enough toilet paper or paper towels. Bought extras and left them.

I don’t like giving bad reviews but we were disappointed with several things. A property booklet would have been helpful. The front yard needed care. The windows filthy. Broken tub stopper in one bathroom, no batteries in the big clock or carbon monoxide monitor. Broken ice maker in the freezer. Also we were afraid to make any noise in the evening because of an abundance of signs threatening expulsion.We had a nice time watching movies by the fire pit and inside. Many large beds for couples. For the cost of this rental I expected better.

Better than expected!

My group of 10 had the perfect space!! The pool table and the outside fire pit kept the young adults entertained!! The heated pool and putt-putt kept the little ones entertained!! The sunken in sitting area was the spot for myself and my husband!!!! The house was as pictured, if not better! The neighborhood was quiet. If I had to say something that was needed, it would be: some type of tub grippers. Shower time for everyone was an event. I would absolutely recommend this property!
