We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Carolyn’s house above Mission Bay. Carolyn was very responsive and communicated clearly.The house sits above Mission Bay, and provides excellent views of the bay and the ocean beyond. It was great to be able to relax in the hot tub, which is set in a well-cared-for back yard with multiple outdoor seating areas. Inside, the house was clean and comfortable. We liked being able to sit in the living/dining area and look out at the bay. Near the end of our stay, we were treated to a spectacular sunset.We will definitely stay here again if we get the opportunity.

House was one of the best we've ever stayed in. Was very clean and had everything we needed in working order. We appreciated having enough towels, bedding and bath mats and the quality of them as well. The hot tub was a nice addition for relaxing after a long day of touring and adventures!

The perfect home for our family of five’s San Diego vacation. The house was spotless and had all of the amenities we needed. Carolyn, the owner communicated all of the information we needed and was easy to reach for any questions. Conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to everything to see in San Diego. A 15 minute drive to Petco Park, San Diego Zoo, and several beaches. You will not regret choosing this home.

Even better than represented!

We had seen photos of the house prior to renting but were pleasantly surprised. It was so much more than expected. The kitchen was fully equipped, even down to spices and other items. The view is absolutely gorgeous. The bedroom are all spacious and plenty of room for the two children in the bunkbeds. The backyard is peaceful and relaxing. Everything is decorated beautifully. The location is close to just about everything! In addition, Carolyn was in touch on several occasions to make sure all was to our liking. She is an amazing host. I strongly recommend this home.

Magnificent view!

The property is an upside down house which means the public spaces are up stairs so the view over the bay is amazing. The back patio was a quiet oasis and my son spent every night in the hot tub. Really hate to leave!

Great view! Great owner! Would stay again!

First things first, Carolyn is a veteran of VRBO. She has her stuff in order and knows how to make sure you are prepared and informed. Tactically speaking, she is an ace. I would definitely work with her again. She is available for questions and concerns (which we had none) and was attentive to us at every turn of the path. If you enjoy sunsets on the water, this place has a balcony that you will be highly satisfied with. Bay Park area has a lot to offer and I enjoyed the Bay Park Fish Market very much. You are so close to the zoo and the gaslamp area and Little Italy as well. Kids enjoyed the hot tub and the area was quiet and safe. All the streaming services worked and the place was clean. Highly recommend.
