Family trip with kids and grandparents. House was great except sound insulation is very bad. You can hear everything anyone is doing in all other rooms. If some people go to bed early, you basically can’t even walk around the house without making a lot of noise. Neighborhood is walkable and nice.

Let me start by saying the pictures do not do this house justice. Beautiful house and neighborhood. We booked this house to accommodate 6 adults and 8 children for a short family Christmas vacation. With14 people in 1 house, you can feel like you are on top of one another, however there were so many areas to spread out you couldn't tell. The noise rule we received in our email was a little intimidating because it made it seem like you couldn't make any sound however the magnet on the fridge was a lot more comforting. We had 1 hiccup with the hot water but we reached out and they responded immediately and had someone out in no time. This was the first house we stayed at where we didn't wish we packed extra plates, pots etc, they had everything. Normally there is enough for 5-6 but there was plenty of everything for all 14 of us. We loved our stay here and debated extending our stay just to enjoy the house longer. We have booked several houses and this is my top 2 favorite house we stayed at.

We had 6 adults and 2 children and had plenty of room to spread out in this wonderful home near Sunset Cliffs. Rooms were spacious and the 3 1/2 bathrooms ensured we could all get ready in the morning with ease. The kitchen and dining room sell this rental -- if you need to sit 25 for dinner, this is your place. The living room was smaller than I expected but we were able to adjust a few pieces of furniture from the den to allow more to sit and chat. Kitchen is well equipped and the garage is a bonus. Due to the slant, it's really hard to get 2 cars in the garage but it does fit one comfortably. Parking is an issue on the street - apparently lots of trades people or multiple car houses nearby. Downstairs bedrooms don't have TVs - not an issue for us but can be for some. Carpet downstairs does need cleaning or replacement. We will definitively consider this house again for a large gathering of family.

We had a great time in the house. Way bigger than we were expecting. Seems like it was brand new.

The location and the property itself were wonderful and made for such a great visit to San Diego. Definitely a recommended place for larger families that want to stick together and enjoy lazy mornings and evenings together. Accessible to just about everything in the city within minutes. Almost perfection. There were a few items that needed to be addressed. But all were immediately attended to once we contacted the managment company. These were inconveniences that they should be able to figure out before tenants check in. So hopefully they took notes. Most of them were minor like missing iron, sporadically interrupted wifi or no wash clothes or hand towels although plenty of bath towels. A couple more pressing concerns were a shower faucet that needed repair because of a bad or broken install. And a garage entrance in the alley way that's so steep that it scratches the bottom of the car frame as you try to park. Plenty of street parking out front so we opted not to use the garage. Additionally there is an open lot right beside the property that had old railings and some other trash items lying around. Couldn't tell if it was part of this property or not but it was a little off putting seeing as no one seemed to care about it enough to clean it up. Overall, still enjoyable place. Beautiful views of the sunset and ocean all in a nice quiet neighborhood. Thank you for the memories!
