Beautiful Oasis

This property is beautiful. It is quiet and was a great place to stay. Very convenient to all the highways. The host is available for all your needs. This was our first VRBO experience and we definitely will go this route again. I hope when we can visit San Diego again this is available .

This house is away from the road and in a very peaceful location… loved having the owners dogs around… loved the pool… loved not having too many electronics to entertain us! Close to the baseball field… close to Coronado… easy to find! Thanks Jenny!

We would give this 10 stars, if possible. Very comfortable, both the casita and the grounds. Loved Jenny, our host, she is the best! It was fun having the chickens there, fresh eggs every morning, and roaming the property. Best of all, the dogs, especially Kizzy, who adopted us, stood watch outside our room whenever we were there, and followed us everywhere. We really felt like we had our own dog for a week! Can't wait to return, we miss it and Kizzy already!The property is only a mile from the village of Bonita, which has a great supermarket (Vons) and lots of restaurants. A great exercise path circles the municipal golf course there. When we return to the SD area, we will definitely stay at this property. It is close to everything in the San Diego area.

Weekend Getaway

Jennifer was an AWESOME host! She was very helpful with recommendations around the area and made a point to be very hospitable! The casita was amazing and very well suited for what we were looking for! Very clean, very well maintained and loved the fact that it was an open space and gated! We would stay here again and again! Thanks Jennifer!!

Hidden paradise in middle of city

I grew up near the area and I know how fast paced life is. The Casita is in a very private large property that is hated by owner. This was great because parking was a concern that was resolved when I

Exceptional environment and hospitality services

A hidden gem of tranquility in an urban setting. Jenny and her entire family were very accommodating and welcoming, not to mention generous with access to additional amenities. Worth every penny and perfectly located to my family’s location. Would recommend for a couple or family of 3 comfortably with air mattress they would provide. I will book again if available on my next visit. Thank you to the Sanchez family for an exceptional experience.

1st Vrbo experience

Property was exactly as stated, more so in my opinion. The grounds are nicely manicured, pool and jacuzzi clean and just a few feet away from the casita. Jennifer was super welcoming and available when needed. The casita itself was as described, perfect for my daughter and I. In and out privileges with gate code. Easy access to highway and shopping. Felt safe and secure. Peaceful and serene. Would definitely stay again!

Oasis Awaysis...

The hosts were all very kind and welcoming. Great property that is like a small oasis, just a hop, skip and jump from all that San Diego has to offer. While the hosts were great, we absolutely LOVED spending time with Ms. Tara, Maxi and Kizzy, the dogs. Anytime we were in the Casita, Kizzy was stationed right outside the door. We already miss the pups.
