It was a great weekend in San Diego. The location is very central so you can get downtown and the beach very easily. It was nice to be able to have places to dine on Park ave within walking distance. The unit was very nice. It had everything we needed for our stay.

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!

Weekend in San Diego

Great location minutes away from the Zoo and a bunch of restaurants. Space was clean and had all the amenities you need if you are traveling with kids. Host even provided a wagon for us to use while we went to the Zoo.

A great place to stay in San Diego!

My group and I loved the location of this place. It right in the middle on San Diego and there is so much to do with such a short drive away. You can tell this place is very well maintained. We would definitely book again!

Perfect stay!

My husband, our 7-year-old daughter and myself enjoyed this lovely house January 2025. It was centrally located by the airport, zoo, Sea World and La Jolla beach. It felt very safe to walk around the neighborhood and there is a delicious authentic Mexican restaurant about 15 minutes away on foot. The host was very accommodating. It was a great stay!

Great location!

Wonderful stay for our spring break in San Diego. This property is centrally located to everything we wanted to do... the zoo, sea world, Coronado, La Jolla, Torrey Pines, etc. Never more than a 20 min drive (as long as you don't hit traffic times). Home was comfortable and had everything we needed. My teens loved the roof even though the igloo was down due to a wide storm. Would for sure recommend!
