The backyard view is the one thing everyone who visits my home talks about. There is a swing to have your coffee, tea or wine on. A couple of oversized hammocks for relaxing.

This is a great dog-friendly place to stay! Tierrasanta is the perfect location - everything (beach, downtown, etc.) is within a 15-20 minute drive. The furnishings and appliances at the place are really nice. The best part though is the large, fenced backyard area which is a great place for your pups to roam!

West Coast Adventure

This was the perfect destination to end our 1,500 mile West Coast adventure. Our accomodations were just the relaxing end we needed. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was quiet and the view out the backyard was outstanding!Shannon was a great hostess and we would love to visit again!

Gorgeous view and yard

Clean, comfortable beds, and the kitchen was well stocked. Everything was comfortable and all amenities were appreciated. The backyard was our favorite with the nice porch and fun games! Just to note, there aren’t two queen sized couch beds. There is a large twin xl sized fold out chair and several air mattresses. Still worked great for our needs! We will definitely keep this on our list for the future.

Family get together weekend

My husband and I, our 2 adult sons and our 2 little dogs stayed here for a 3 day weekend. Some other family that live in the area also visited. There was plenty of room for everyone. Big house with open space and a gorgeous backyard! Everything you need is provided in this home. Extra chargers for devices and tons of fun games. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to stay here again in the future. 5 stars for sure!

Wonderful home in central location

This home had it all..a very responsive and friendly host, great central location only 15-20 minutes of airport/downtown/beaches/Little Italy/Balboa Park, safe neighborhood, high-end finishes, extremely clean, fenced yard with expansive view, and the little touches that make a house feel like a home. It was absolutely perfect! Would highly recommend this home and hope to return there someday.

This beautiful home is well-equipped for a family stay, with plenty of room, lots of games and activities, space for family meals, a hot tub, and a large yard with spots to relax and take in the amazing view. Shannon was a responsive and generous host. We picked this home specifically for its location close to family in the neighborhood, but it’s also a great location to start exploring San Diego. We hope to rent this home again when we visit our family next time. Thank you, Shannon, for a very comfortable weekend!
