Lovely, spacious home & wonderful location!

Our family has enjoyed several VRBO homes over the past several years & we all agree this was one of the BEST! Plenty of beautifully decorated space, inside & out, for the 10 of us. Plus, Helen, the owner, was a delight to communicate with before & throughout our stay. If ever heading back to SoCal, we would love to stay there again. Thanks so much to Helen & family

Family Neighborhood

This is our third stay with Helen, she always goes above & beyond the usual rental to make your stay a wonderful one. The house is over equipped with absolutely everything you, your family and fur babies need and more.The fuzzy blanket excess in every corner basket for a cozy relaxing stay on the couch or outside on one of the many patio areas is just the type of spoiling one is looking for. Close to moonlight beach, and other beaches to choose from, restaurants, freeways, and local stores.It was great to be able to park our car in the garage also.Plenty of beach toys, a wagon, bikes for the neighborhood.We would recommend this property for a family or a couple of couples looking to get away and want to have some space and backyard/hot tub to relax in.

We loved the location of this property! 10 minutes to the beach and we were able to go to the San Diego Zoo and/or Safari Park almost everyday we were there even during “rush hour” which compared to other cities doesn’t seem to really be a thing. My kids really loved the goldfish as well. Thank you Helen for being a very communicative host!

Wonderful home for family vacation

We had a wonderful stay with family at Helen's lovely home. The house was perfect for our multigenerational group, and we especially appreciated the thoughtful touches for families including a stepstool for the bathroom sink, kid-friendly plates, and plenty of toys and games. (And the kids especially loved their room with bunk beds!) The property was spotless and Helen was incredibly responsive as a host. It's a fantastic location, right near plenty of grocery stores and a short drive to the beach. We would be thrilled to stay here again next time we're in town!

Rented Helen's home for a 4 night family stay. Four adults and two children (ages 4 & 6). The hot tub was a hit with the kids, the fire pit table provided a great place for the adults. Home was huge and we all felt comfortable in the space. Location was great, close to the beach and the San Diego Safari Park. Any issues were addressed by Helen immediately. Thanks Helen for a great time!

Great family vacation home

We stayed in Helen’s home for a week long family vacation with some extended family. The house is spread out enough that we all had plenty of room to get comfortable and relax without feeling crowded. The neighborhood felt safe and quiet, and everything that we needed was a short walk or drive away. It is worth noting that the downstairs shower has a natural stone floor that is uneven by design. This was not a problem for our group, but someone with balance or mobility issues may struggle in the downstairs shower. We would absolutely stay here again.
