I have stayed at several VRBOs, nationally as well as internationally. This one had the best communication by far! I almost don't want to leave a review and keep this little gem to myself. I will definitely be booking again. It is centrally located to everything in San Diego. It is a bit "quirky" to get to, but it is located in a very safe and quiet area. We were down in the hustle and bustle of town and then retreated to our private gated sanctuary. The kitchen was well.stocked - it even had a Kitchenaid stand mixer as well as all the other appliances you would need. I didn't get to cook much but now that I know will take advantage next time. The round dining table is perfect for meals or playing board games. There is plenty of parking behind the automatic gate. I appreciated the extra towels, sheets, and pillows. Perfect for a small family or two couples. We were a family of 5 - 2 parents with 3 adult children.

This was a great house to stay at! While the drive back to the house may make you wonder, it is like arriving at an oasis when you enter the gate. The location is wonderful as it was easy to get everywhere. We definitely would stay here again!

The house itself is quaint and (very) secluded with comfortable sleeping accommodations and an excellent outdoor area. It's hidden behind office buildings and hotels, which is nice for privacy but makes Ubers very difficult to call as they cancel when they cannot find the gate. We stayed here because we have family in Mission Hills thinking we were very close, however, it was a 10 minute drive to the neighborhood. The proximity is directly up the canyon and very misleading because it's geographically close, but not a close commute. All of this was okay and we still would have given the property a better review if not for the owners treatment of us on Saturday night. There were 6 of us staying at the property, and Saturday night we invited exactly 5 friends over to play games and hangout for the 4th of July. We're in the living room playing board games when we get a knock on the door and it's the police. Apparently the owner had been watching the cameras (there are like 8 outside) and was under the impression we were having a party. We think because people came and went in separate Ubers and that triggered notifications on the gate. I didn't have my phone on me, so had missed calls from property management, so the owners felt the next logical step was to call the police on their guests. The officer rung the doorbell and was clearly frustrated that he'd even been called, as there was no outside noise and there were 8 people in the living room playing Twister. The officer's words verbatim were "The owner called the police and thinks you guys are having a party. Obviously that's not the case. I literally do not care." and he left in such a hurry we only had time to say “thank you sir”. It was that ridiculous. So all in all the property is beautiful and well secluded, but not private. You'll have difficulty getting Ubers and you're not close to Mission Hills, but don't get too comfortable in your secluded space as the owners are watching you on camera and will call the police on you for playing board games late at night.
