We were a group of 6 adults and 1 child under 3 and stayed at the house between Christmas and New Years. Great House! lots of character and plenty of room for our needs. Excellent views, being perched up on top of the hill and the house has plenty of amenities; pool, spa, air hockey, trampoline, etc. You do have to be careful with the little ones and keep an active eye on them, both inside and outside as there are plenty of breakables and a lot of nooks and crannies on the sprawling property. Fun to explore but also not a "kid-proof" property.Small snafu getting into the property, as our app didn't load up right away in order to get the gate open, (might have been user error) but Jessica and Teal team proved to be very responsive and continued to be engaged as needed during our stay.Location was about twenty minutes from downtown San Diego: we visited the Beach, the Zoo and the Safari park during our stay. Safari park was the furthest away at 40 minutes, but everything else was within 20 minutes. Close to stores, etc.Overall, we were very pleased with the house and the service from the Teal Team! We would definitely stay here again. Thanks! ##### Aaron H.

From the pool to the fireplace, this stubby house really allowed us to celebrate my wife’s birthday and have a memorable experience. ##### Maxwell M.

All adults. It still felt spacious and we all enjoyed our stay! ##### Jeff N. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Michael C. 8 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house has an incredible view and a pool that makes the stay completely worth it. However the size of the space and the number of true bed spots didn’t completely align with expectations for a large group of 20 grown men. We ended up having to buy more mattresses to sleep in the limited space in the house. Additionally, it’s an inconvenience to have to contact the ownership for use of the hot tub. They were prompt and helpful whenever we sent a message but it asking permission every time got tiresome. ##### Michael C.

The layout was perfect for hangout time. We enjoyed all our meals together on the large dining table. The spa was spacious and hot. The views incredible. The property management team was responsive, helpful, and accommodating. Our entire group is looking forward to returning in the future. ##### Heather L.

The property (pool, house, spa, games, facilities) as a whole was fantastic, with every amenity and thoughtful touch you could hope for (welcome basket, state of the art espresso maker, dishes and pots and pans and teas and coffee and spices....). It was perfect for 3 generations of our family to hang out in for a week - enough room so we were able to do things together, but also have our own spaces, including an amazing kitchen to prepare our meals. Easy access to downtown and the coast, and grocery stores nearby. And the Teal team (Jessica in particular) were fantastic hosts. Incredibly responsive to any request, excellent communication at all times, and generally a pleasure to deal with. Hope to back one day soon! ##### Jess B.

HUGE home, plenty of space, more than enough for the six of us. Beautiful pool, quiet neighborhood and very secluded up on a hill with a great view! Only 15 min from Old Town San Diego,. Hosts we're very attentive. Would definitely stay here again!!!. ##### Michael O.
