The backyard view is the one thing everyone who visits my home talks about. There is a swing to have your coffee, tea or wine on. A couple of oversized hammocks for relaxing.

This is a beautiful home and property, that is a perfect communal space if you have a larger family or group of friends. We loved sitting in the outdoor patio area and looking at the view. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed. The neighborhood was very quiet. We would absolutely stay here again.

We live in San Diego and needed a place for the weekend while our house was an open house. We loved the quiet cul de sac, easy check in, tons of space, and large fenced in yard. We brought our two large dogs which was a requirement for our rental choice, and really appreciate that the host doesn’t limit weight on pets. I think our dogs loved the yard more than we did! The kitchen had everything we could need, we were super comfortable, and enjoyed a good nights sleep with no noise from neighbors or busy roads. We added on an extra night mid stay and the host was very accommodating (and we were super grateful)! We would rent here again and recommend it. My boys (1.5 and 5) loved the games provided, the dinosaurs, and the duck in the bathtub. My husband enjoyed the hot tub! Thank you Shannon!

This is a great dog-friendly place to stay! Tierrasanta is the perfect location - everything (beach, downtown, etc.) is within a 15-20 minute drive. The furnishings and appliances at the place are really nice. The best part though is the large, fenced backyard area which is a great place for your pups to roam!

We loved our stay in this big yet cozy home. It had everything we could have ever needed for cooking a holiday meal. Our dogs loved the big yard and room to run around. The home was exactly as described and detailed instructions were communicated well.Shannon was available for help should we have needed it even though it was a holiday as well. Perfect stay at a wonderful home.

We had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect and close to where we wanted to be. The kitchen was well organized and had everything we needed. Plenty of space. The floor plan was open and spacious, we never felt crowded in. It was an excellent house. Thank you to Shannon for being a great host, she was easy to contact and responded quickly. Would definitely stay there again. We were traveling with my elderly parents, and it was great being able to share a house that was so inviting and easy for them to get around in.
