My stay here was excellent. The host maintained great communication and provided clear check-in instructions, making everything smooth and easy. The property was peaceful, spotless, and perfectly located. It was well-equipped with all necessary amenities, which made the experience even more comfortable. I would gladly stay here again in the future.I Highly recommend it!

Wonderful little oasis!
Clean, modern, comfortable and private. Perfect for the two of us during our 5 nights in San Diego visiting family. Thank you Joshua!

Tropical Paradise
This lovely space is wonderful! The greenery and the decorating is so cheerful. If you thrive on being outside in a welcoming, plant-filled space with lots of seating options, this is the place for you. I am a sucker for L-shaped couches and this home has one on the inside and one on the outside. Loved my stay. The host was very responsive, too.
