About this house rental

In-Town Oasis with Spa & Various Herbs for Picking

Nestled into a hillside at the end of a quiet, dead-end street in the heart of town, this home offers rare privacy and seclusion—without giving up convenience. Open the French doors to an outdoor oasis: a 30-ft deck with a six-person Hot Springs spa.

Inside, the kitchen is fully outfitted for serious cooking, with stainless-steel appliances and thoughtful tools for every task. Outside, you’ll find simple garden paths, succulents, and year-round herbs you’re welcome to pick and enjoy (with wild nasturtium appearing in spring and fall).

So many great features of this property and the host was above and beyond, amazing! The property is the most unique vrbo I've ever stayed in. The outdoor space is a dream, the landscaping top-notch, and from the words of my mother-in-law "something out of Swiss Family Robinson" . Tons of space indoors and outdoors - which can be rare for San Diego. We were visiting family in the area, so the location was perfect, and we all had our own room which was a treat Our 7 year old LOVED the walking paths, looking thru the glass "bridge" to the main bedroom, and making all sorts of discoveries in the "jungle" . Zapher was so helpful, prompt, and kind. Lots of core memories made, we will be back, truly remarkable!

Memorable and Special!This place was located in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in SD. The home is comfortable and super charming and has all the amenities. The property is very private and super special. Great for exploring and also hosting a quiet gathering of old friends. The owner is warm and inviting and available if one needs anything during their stay. We are definitely coming back soon, if nothing else, just to stay here again. Highly Recommend!

First of all the host was very friendly and helpful.The house is also very nice and offered enough space for all of us. There is a very nice hot tub on the property.But unfortunately, there are very strict rules. For example, you are not allowed to use the outdoor area after 9 p.m..We were told that after this time we had to be quiet and keep all windows and doors closed.We received this information just the day before our arrival. If we had known beforehand we would never have booked this house.We felt like we were in prison, and this is why we left the day before.It would be correct to disclose this information in the advertisement.
