This was a great get away for my family of five and 2 year old grand daughter. The two master bedrooms were very spacious and the three bathrooms were indeed as described, such a plus with five adults. Bob was very hospitable from his informative emails to his welcoming phone call as we landed in San Diego. He met us upon our arrival and made time to call during our stay to give us a weather update. The location was pefect for us. We visited Sea World, Legoland, Balboa Park, the Zoo, Old Town,La Jolla and Coronado Island and we did not use a full tank of gas for our 7 passenger van! Restaurants, shops and a lovey park for the toddlers are all within a block of the house. The neighborhood was quiet and safe.
I would highly recommend this beautiful property, tastefully decorated and very clean. We spent one relaxing evening cooking on the gas grill and enjoying the patio and house amenities.

Thanks Bob for your hospitality. Bob also worked with us since our travel dates changed from our original plan. If we ever return to San Diego as a family, I will indeed rent this house again.

As to the attractions, all were fine. The only downside was our "dining with Shamu." The luncheon was pricey at $40.00 per person so we were disappointed when the show during the luncheon did not meet our expectations. It was too short and the outdoor dining in March proved to be a bit too cold since the dining area is in the shade. Otherwise, Sea World was great.

We absolutely loved this rental house. The house was clean, comfortable, and as charming as the pictures. Bob was there when we arrived and was a pleasure to meet. The house was centrally located and we loved how quickly we could go to any of our destinations.
The fireplace was wonderful! We spent several evenings playing games in front of it!!
We were over and above pleased with our stay!!!

This was a lovely, well done home in a great neighborhood. There are many interesting things to do in University Heights and we enjoyed staying there and trying new restaurants within walking distance. The house itself is a very good quality home, with nice stone and tile accents throughout. The kitchen didn't see much use as we were there for work and long hours away, but seemed very well appointed if needed. Beds are comfortable and big, and the home was very clean and obviously well maintained.
It may have been on the large size for us as there were only a couple in our party, but we enjoyed the extra room that we had and the sense of having your own space. I would recommend this to friends and other business travelers, and I would stay here again if traveling with my own family. We didn't try the Ethiopian place, but I will recommend another, the Cueva bar for their empanadas, plus Oz is a great owner that obviously loves his craft. Thanks for the house Bob,
