Great location and large bedrooms

Booked for our family with two young kids (2.5, 1) for long weekend. Pros: great location within easy drive from the airport. Our destinations were the zoo and the aquarium and both were very easy to access. Point Loma is beautiful and Shelter island is great for kids (playground! Food!) The house had a well supplied kitchen for cooking. Bedrooms were large, and living room had comfortable couches for lounging. Backyard dining table was lovely. Cons: driveway is steep and narrow and you must back in, unless you want to back out onto a busy road. Street parking is tough because there is no spot directly in front of the house because of a blind turn. House has one tall, unsecured bookshelf that a baby or toddler can easily topple. Backyard grass is patchy and not great for crawlers. Overall the location is very convenient and the house is spacious. Management company provided basic coffee supplies which is always a nice to have!

Nice Stay

We chose this location due to its location close to SDYC where my child was sailing in an event. Home had all the things we needed. Beds and pillows were comfy and home was clean. It’s a little noisy during rush hour times with cars going up Rosecrans but not really an issue since bedrooms are set back. Plenty of fans to help keep the home cool.

Great place!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. House is very clean and in a great, neighborhood location with just about all you need within walking distance. It’s perfect for families or friend groups who travel together. Large common areas, kitchen and backyard with patio make it perfect place to hang out or cook dinner in when not out and about in this cool area.

Great location, clean beds, dirty floors

Overall we really enjoyed our time at this property and the location was fantastic (safe and less than 20 minutes to almost everything, if not closer). We had our 1.5 year old with us and the house was perfect for him with a little backyard and walking distance to the water where he could look at the boats. The beds/sheets/towels were very clean, but I gave this property 3 stars overall because the floors were terribly dirty. Our toddler's feet were black after running around and we all ended up having to wear socks when walking around the house, which were also black by the end of the trip. I brought this up to the property management company and even asked for a refund for our cleaning fee, but all I got was "sorry, we'll let the owners know," which was a little disappointing. Overall though, this house was great and we had a wonderful time visiting San Diego.

Great vacation home with easy access to the marina. The only issue was the broken dish washer, but the property manager was very responsive. It was also easy for my elderly mom to walk around and enjoy herself. Highly recommend this vacation home for a family.

My favorite spot in San Diego

Our family rented this property to accommodate our need for a quiet, peaceful space during the holidays with young kids. It was so great we ended up extending our stay. The location is classic San Diego with access to great seafood, gorgeous sunsets and walks along the cliffs. We like the central location that made it easy to dine out or pick up groceries. The decor is elegant and comfortable. It’s a winner!

Beautiful home, GREAT location - Couldn't have asked for more

What a beautiful, well kept home. We traveled with our 2 kids, ages 9 and 10 and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is great because you can WALK to get coffee, get your nails done (check out iPolish down the street) and walk to the marina. We drive an enormous SUV and we were worried about parking. (Parking can be a deal breaker for us) This home is located on a main street BUT we couldn't hear any traffic at all from within the house. It's set back from the street and higher than the street level. The front yard is enclosed, so it's very private. Overnight, we parked in the driveway (bit of a tight squeeze but no biggie) and during the day, we parked on the street which had various open spaces - just out of convenience. This home has large bedrooms, and it was immaculately clean The host was easy to get a hold of and very accommodating as we had a few questions leading up to our trip. We only wish he had stayed longer so as to check out Liberty Station (which we visited on our last day.. minutes away); as well as other nearby shops, including a chocolatier that we drove past and didn't get a chance to stop at! Great place, great location, great value!

We were very glad that we chose to stay at Coast to Cactus! As the family planner, this was my very first time choosing and staying at a vacation rental. We will definitely choose this property again when coming back to San Diego. Coast to Cactus was great the whole way through with communication and availability. We loved our stay!"
