Such a nice place. The patio was quiet and beautiful. We enjoyed using the BBQ grill. The walk to the bay and the beach was so short and it was nice to visit both sides. Kendra was so responsive anytime I had a question.

We had a chance to stay there as a group, and everything was perfectly clean, which is a very important factor for us. The beds and linens were perfectly fine, and the kitchen was great as well. Compared to the cost, we found it very reasonable. Overall, we had a great stay.

Kendra was such a great host! Very clear communication that made for a smooth check in. Her place is centrally located making it easy to get around and see everything we wanted to see in and around San Diego with kids. The apartment was spotless and clutter free. When we had an issue with the coffee pot, Kendra promptly replaced it with a complimentary bag of local coffee. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Wish we could’ve stayed at her place, but unfortunately the air conditioning was broken and they were very nice and gave us a full refund. Really nice little spot though close to all!

Cozy cottage in Mission Beach. Great location! Cute space! As described, clean, cozy and great directions for getting in. If you have a car make sure it’s small as the garage in Mission Beach are small. We loved it and will come again ☺️

Great location, dedicated parking space, safe, quiet space. Having two bedrooms was great with a big living room, dining room and kitchen. Walking distance to the beach, the bay, restaurants, and entertainment. Kendra was a great host. Helpful, responsive, and made sure we were taken care of.

Great place to stay with great kitchen amenities and space. Host was very responsive and helpful. Location was great for short walk to local restaurants and coffee, especially on Washington, University and 4/5th Ave. The hospital was close but we never really heard loud sirens or anything, so no worries about that. One easy parking space which is almost essential in this neighborhood if you don’t have a parking permit. Just short drive to airport, Beach, Balboa Park, Italian district or even SDSU.

We had a wonderful stay at this place in San Diego. The space was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained, making it easy to relax and feel at home. The location was great—close to everything we needed while still feeling peaceful. Check-in was smooth, and communication was clear and helpful. Overall, it was a very nice place to stay, and we would happily return on a future trip. Highly recommended!
