"It was a beautiful home with everything I needed. I appreciate it!"

"This property met the needs of my family of 6 during our trip. It was a great size and I appreciated the big dining table that included alot of chairs. The home was clean and provided alot of extra things we may need: Sheets, pillows, towels. It was in a great residential location, near a park, and across the street from an elementary school. The neighborhood was quiet and it’s located at the end of the street so there isnt much traffic that goes back there. The only downside was the parking...

"The house was very clean and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The games were fun and the view was great!"

"Excellent Overall Stay."

"My partner and I had a lovely time! Cyndi was very welcoming, and provided clear instructions via email and text well ahead of time. There were a lot of thoughtful touches - separate towels for the beach/hot tub and showering, little toiletry bags in case you had forgotten something, sparkling cider and cake pops from a local bakery when we checked in, etc. The space itself feels large and bright, and the backyard is lovely. It is a bit of a walk from food/activities, as it's in a residential...

"We had a great time here it is within walking distance to so many great restaurants nice little community they have there will definitely be going back "

Ramada by Wyndham San Diego National City

5/5 Excellent

"Service was great!! Going up to 6th floor from car garage was easy and everything needed a key card and that made me feel more safe. Costumer service was great!! The party that downstairs has late at night was a big loud but didn’t bother us. We wanted to check that out but didn’t have time. The pool was decently clean and my kids had a blast. The only thing that I didn’t like was we were only given 2 towels at a time and none for the pool. I have 2 daughters with slot of hair so the towels got wet very fast and took a long time to dry. "
