Perfect place for a family of four, they thought of everything from beach towels to toys and loved the convenience of washer and dryer. It’s in a great location, we walked everyday to breakfast and to get coffee. No issues with parking always found a spot on the street.

This vacation rental is one of the best I’ve stayed in. The location is about 15 minutes from anything you’d want to go see, the rooms are comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. We enjoyed the privacy of the patio and the host was gracious and happy to lend us children’s toys and beach gear for our stay

Absolutely wonderful stay! Before we arrived, Amanda reached out a few times to ensure we had everything we may need. The location was clean, parking was easy, and she thought of all the odds and ends. Things like beach towels, sun hats, games and other basic things that you'll want in San Diego but don't want to pack and haul with you is readily available. Highly recommend

The space was nice and cozy, and we especially appreciated the terrace, which gave my son plenty of room to work on his robotics skills for his competition. It's rare to find a place that feels both stylish and practical for the whole family.Would definitely stay again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique, well-appointed retreat!

Amanda’s VRBO was perfect for our family vacation in San Diego. The location is excellent. 10-20 minutes from everywhere you want to go and in a really quiet neighborhood that felt very safe. The space itself was really quaintly decorated making it welcoming and homey. Very clean! Great beds for all four of us. High ceilings make it feel big. We loved it!

I was really surprised at how great if a location this is. I was prepared for traffic since it was a weekend in the Summer, but it seemed like we always ended up going against traffic. We didn't have any problems finding parking either.
