We loved our time in this home in Mission Hills! Can walk to local supermarket, restaurants and coffee shops. And it's centrally located to explore the sites of San Diego (Balboa Park, Coronado, and Point Loma). Parking space is out front so we didn't have to worry about finding a spot on the street.Home is gorgeous with a fully outfitted gourmet kitchen, lovely porch for coffee in the morning, and a 2 master suite layout that was perfect for the four of us. It's at the end of the street in a quiet neighborhood so it was an oasis to come home to at the end of a busy day of sightseeing. Kent was an outstanding host as he was very responsive in making sure we got settled in and he provided some excellent suggestions on local restaurants to try and where to find free parking near the beach. Loved our stay here - it is a gem! Will book again next time we visit SD!

We have stayed in many vacation properties. This one is at the top of our list. It was so comfortable and clean with every amenity we needed plus more. There are outdoor sitting areas in the front and back with the back balcony table as our favorite. Plus so many restaurants to choose from. Kent was a gracious host. Will definitely stay here again.

Excellent house and location

If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay within 20 minutes of most everything in San Diego this is your spot. The house had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. The property manager, Kent, met us when we checked in and was easy to get a hold of when we had questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location for greater San Diego

My wife and daughter and I spent a week in this great home. It is exactly as described. It was a perfect location to enjoy all that San Diego has to offer and is 15-20 minutes to just about anywhere you want to go with very little traffic. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful and restful

Clean, beautiful, peaceful house in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for sitting on the deck (bring or buy mosquito repellent in summer.) Great location easily accessible to the sights and nearby restaurants and Vons. Kent was kind and accommodating, easy to communicate with. I enjoyed my stay immensely!

A trip to remember

This VRBO was in the perfect location. Close to everything! It was the best spot for two couples who wanted to see the sites. The hosts had everything we needed and more. The deck was awesome and the lime/lemon trees were the best surprises.

Great stay

The house is lovely and was a great fit for two couples. Clean with many amenities, close to many restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. Short drive to downtown. Kent, the manager, was very helpful and responded quickly when needed. Only room for one car but that worked for us. Would highly recommend.

The Good Life

Very quiet, comfortable, ample dishes, utensils, appliances, nice deck to enjoy wine from the Vons (amazing selection) 2 blocks away, along with cheese from the cheese shop in walking distance. Or enjoy the donut shop across from Vons. Kent was very responsive. All-in-all an outstanding base from which to enjoy San Diego. Or just to hang out.

Perfect Stay

Our family of four adults visited San Diego to attend my nephew's Marine graduation. The home was perfectly located, so we could quickly go back and forth from the airport and events at MCRD, but it was also a short drive to Torrey Pines/La Jolla. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to make and enjoy meals on the back patio or dining area. It was also less than a 10-minute walk to restaurants, coffee, etc. The home itself was clean, comfortable, thoughtfully arranged, and beautifully decorated. What a gem!

Stay here!

The house is extremely comfortable in every way. Furniture/Bed are good. Kitchen/Bath are well stocked. We were there in March & the weather was quite cool so we had the fireplace on every night. Made the living area toasty!Part of the attraction is the quiet neighborhood the house is in. In walking distance of groceries & restaurants of all kinds. Close to Balboa Park. Other attractions are not far via freeway. Property manager was very helpful in orienting us to the area. I can recommend this house without hesitation!

Home Away from Home

We flew in from Florida to welcome our son home from deployment and had a few delays with the day of his arrival. Kent worked with us without any hassle and was super accomodating. The house was perfect! Clean, updated, had everything we needed and Kent took the time to meet us and explain how everything worked. We didn't have one complaint. The neighborhood was quiet and close to everything. It truly felt like home and we would definitely stay here again the next time we are in town. Thank you again Kent!

Cozy little slice of Heaven

I can’t say enough great things about our stay. Kent was accommodating with an early check-in and met us at the property to go over important details that were helpful. The kitchen was a dream, fully stocked with all the things we needed which was so great! The bedrooms had extra pillows and blankets and the beds were very comfortable. The living room was bright and cozy, we enjoyed the fireplace in the evenings. The deck was so relaxing and offered great views as well as fruit trees that gave me all the limes I needed! We literally felt like we were in a home away from home. There are restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance and the neighborhood was safe and quiet. This was most definitely a home away from home and our best experience so far. We will definitely stay here again! Thanks Kent!

Great find in Mission Hills

First, this property is located very centrally, adjacent to Hillcrest, as in a 5 minute walk. Kent, the property manager, was very friendly, accommodating, and gracious. The house was super clean. I hesitated before renting it because it's a little more expensive than some other properties I looked at, but I'm so glad I did because it was very comfortable and I could tell the owners take very good care of it. Highly recommended! One small irritation, it was very difficult to figure out the remote controls. There were three of them with about 100 different buttons. By the time I got the TV to work. I totally forgot what I had done to get it working. It would be great to have some written instructions just to get the damn thing on!
