The technology wasn't working in multiple rooms (WiFi plus smart TVs) and they conveniently leave out that there is no AC. I would not book again with this host. We planned to watch the UFC flights and the WiFi would not connect. We tried to pivot by connecting game consoles and they would not work on the TVs they had. Their property gets warm and they do not have central AC.

Great stay and location
We had a great stay at this house. We are 2 families who each have a toddler and the house was set up with 2 pack and plays and 2 high chairs which was a great benefit for us. We loved the back yard and it was a great location (less than 15 minutes from the beach, zoo and seaworld). The house was great for our needs. The bed in the master bedroom had a section with a slump in it that wasn't super comfortable, but otherwise it was good. The host had great communication, check in was easy, there were beach chairs and a couple sand toys and beach towels at the place, I would recommend this house to other families looking for a great house in San Diego.

Good enough - room for improvement
This is not a typical VRBO that we stay in. Lots of locked or cable tied cupboards . There was no where to hang clothes (the closet was locked). There were 2 suitcase stands in the master bedroom so I guess the expectation is you live out of a suitcase?
The kitchen was barely functional- the only wine glasses available were plastic ones (yuck) and the cookware was slim and pretty worn out, thank god for a decent oven so I bought aluminum trays for cooking thanksgiving dinner.
Compared to other VRBOs we’ve stayed in over the years I’d like to suggest that if guests are staying for 5-6 nights to provide dish washing tablets for the entire stay - not just 3! It’s only cents to the owner but it makes for a more relaxed stay for the guest.
Other than that we had a good time , the living area is very conducive to family time and the games and in particular the pool table got great use.

the perfect house and location
I rented Tim's home for a small mom's retreat and was so glad I chose this place over others! The home was spotlessly clean (and I'm picky) and has the perfect layout for a small retreat or a family gathering - you don't feel like you're on top of each other and everyone has their own space. The yard is big and beautiful with lots of privacy and seating, to just chill around the fire pit or eat at the big family-style table.
The location is also perfect, we went to Old Towne, The Little Italy Mercato, Balboa Park, Coronado and of course the airport and it was easy and quick to get everywhere.
I would absolutely rent Tim's home again for another trip!

Lots of Space but not clean :(
This property is HUGE and perfect for a big family (Family of 6 here) we stayed 4 nights over Labor day
Pros:
* Space
* S'mores!
* Game Tables (Pool, Air Hockey, Ping Pong, Etc...)
* Close enough to everything within 20ish mins
* Family Games
* Ease of directions for how to use all Amenities
Cons:
* 99% of Cabinets/ Closets are pad locked so there is no storage space for you to use.
* No AC but there are a few Fans
* House was not "clean, clean, clean" as advertised - the following was not clean
* Tub was dirty (Had a dirty footprint in it, Picture was sent to owner)
* Master Bedroom smelled Horrible like Body Odor & Musk
Home did not smell like it was "Professionally cleaned " as the owner said
* There is a spider issue - We only went into the back yard on the first night but did not after we found Black widow Spider webs on the chairs & all around the outside of the house.
Over all the experience wasn't horrible but wasn't great - it was ok. Great for anyone looking for a lot of space!

This home was perfect for us and our two daughters families. Clean & convenient to everything we needed. We loved the large great room. We could always see where the little kids were. Plenty of space for them to hang on the floor & do puzzles & play games. We also loved the backyard for the young kids to play in. Everything was perfect. Neighborhood was quiet at night.

Better than the photos!
Great space for 2 adults and 2 teen boys - we had so much fun with all the amenities - was awesome to have the pool, air hockey, foozball and ping pong! The space was so airy and all the details were so well thought out with a modern, clean look. Next time we stay here, when COVID has been forced underground, we will come with our vaccinated friends, but it was such a wonderful space to bond with just immediate family. And the backyard!! Perfect private space with the gas firepit and nice furniture. Note: you can hear the hum of the freeway when outside, but it is not bothersome at all. Thank you!!
