Dream Home Away From Home - Huge Common Area!

4.78 out of 5 average rating, 136 reviews3 weeks ago

Great place! We stayed there for a college visit to SDSU and found that the location was excellent. It was pretty convenient to everywhere - beach, little Italy, airport, old town. The area is quiet and comfortable - walking distance to a grocery store and good restaurants just minutes away. The house is clean and spacious with plenty of room for everybody and everything you need. Our host was quick to respond, friendly, and accommodating. Love San Diego! Hoping my daughter commits to SDSU - would definitely stay here again.

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 371 reviews3 months ago

Randy’s place was fantastic. It was as described and depicted in photos. Randy was a great host. He was very accommodating and accessible. The place was comfortable and clean. The living space/kitchen/dining area was great for our group of 6 adults. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very comfortable and quiet. The location was amazing. One small block to the beach. The grocery store and coffee/bars are so close. We used the bikes, Prokadima and beach chairs. Such a great place for the price. Thank you Randy for sharing your place with us!

Beach House | Walk to Bay | Patio & Open Living

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 69 reviews2 weeks ago

I booked this home for my stay during my daughters sorority mom’s weekend and it fit perfectly for our needs. I shared the home with one other mom and we were quite comfortable. We had a few other moms over for a happy hour and the front patio worked out perfectly for that. It was a very nice set up. We were in and out a lot attending events but each time we returned we were able to find parking spots right out front.

Perfect La Jolla Beach/Village Cottage w/AC

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 228 reviews2 months ago

Had a fantastic stay in La Jolla in this charming 1920’s cottage. May not have all the mod cons but a very comfortable house in an amazing location. We only used the car for a large shop or to drive to San Diego zoo, Coronado etc. The beach is located at the end of the street, restaurants and independent shops abound all in walking distance. There is a public pool a short walk where you can get pay as you go lap swimming passes. We were there 4 weeks and Erin was always available for any issues (none arose). Would definitely recommend this place.
