Excellent hosts. It’s clear they want you to have a relaxed stay and comfortable stay.The house is the best of over 20 different houses we’ve rented. Immaculately clean, quiet and plenty of room. One of the reasons we like to rent a house is so that we can cook. All you need is already in place: more appliances than the average home, plenty of plates, bowls and utensils. Spices and other routine ingredients are all there. The knives are even sharp!This is the second time we’ve rented this house and are looking forward to returning next year.Thank you, Jerome and Mary for such a great home away from home.

Just Perfect!

Mary's little guesthouse was perfect for us! It had everything we needed, including a very comfortable bed and lovely shower, as well as being cheerful and roomy. It was tucked into the back of the property, which provided quiet and privacy.

This property was such an amazing find for our visit to San Diego! It felt like a home away from home. The host, Mary, made sure to check in throughout the trip to make sure we had everything we needed. The home was updated, in a quiet neighborhood, and a short drive to Downtown San Diego. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

Christmas visit

The property is beautiful and quiet with lots of thoughtful little touches to make your stay comfortable and very clean. Lots of places to plug in devices. Beautiful decorations. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed. I was visiting relatives nearby for Christmas and needed a place to stay. There are restaurants and a grocery store and Starbucks within walking distance if needed.

Best one yet!

I've stayed in quite a few short term rentals and this one is the tops. It was exceptionally clean. The furnishings were good quality and attractive. There were plenty of condiments and cooking supplies. The hosts were easily available and friendly, fixed the one problem I had (batteries were dead on one of the remotes) immediately. The garden in front is beautiful, and the back area (where I stayed) is attractive and quiet. I definitely hope to stay here every time I am in the area.

Hidden Gem

What a fantastic place! My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. The guest house was very clean and well-appointed. The neighborhood is quiet and the home feels secluded. Mary has done a great job decorating the space to make it feel cozy and inviting. We loved getting up every morning, sitting outside drinking our morning coffee on our own garden patio listening to the trickling fountain and keeping warm by the fire pit. Wish we could have stayed longer, and will certainly stay here again!

Private Gust House

To start it off, I think that the little guest house is Wonderful and Very Very Clean. The pictures do it justice, however, when you walk into the place it SPARKLES. My Wife and I could not ask for a better place to stay. The Location was Excelent and close to the highway, shopping and most of all, really close to where our Son and Family live. Again, could not ask for a better place to stay. Very quite. The Hosts are very pleasant and fun to talk with.

Excellent Hideaway

We visited San Diego to visit family and friends. We chose this location because we are familiar with the area. It is easy access to the freeway, yet in a quiet neighborhood. You can get around San Diego easily from the property. It had everything you would need for a few days, or of a couple of months. We were amazed at how complete the kitchen was. And, the patio was wonderful to sit outside in a secluded setting and have coffee in the morning, or a glass of wine in the evening. This will now be our go to place when we visit SD.

I would definitely stay here again!

The hosts at this property go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Jerome met me on my arrival and showed me to the house which is in a very private spot at the back of the property. Mary even made us a home-cooked meal of delicious Indian food (delivery by Jerome)! The house was very clean and beautifully furnished. There was a patio with comfy chairs and a fire pit. The kitchen had every small appliance you could possibly need and was very well stocked with spices and cooking tools. The adjustable bed was incredibly comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and there was a shopping area with several good restaurants just a 15 minute walk away (about three minutes by car). It also had super easy access to CA-94 to get to the downtown area, airport, beaches, and the San Diego Zoo (about 20 minutes). I highly recommend a stay here!

A Perfect Place for Two

We stayed at Mary’s house for almost 3 weeks during which we needed to work remotely. From the moment you set foot in this property, you know you have made a great choice. The house is spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you need. The kitchen has every appliance (in a pretty matching blue), and lots of spices, so cooking like we were at home was easy. The location is peaceful and quiet with a very comfortable bed and plenty of towels/ linens. We were able to work easily using the fast internet connection and take meetings knowing that we were not disturbing anyone because the house is a separate structure. The included parking spot out front was a bonus and very convenient. It is obvious that a lot of thought and care has gone into making this rental comfortable and special, and we really appreciated Mary’s hospitality. We unreservedly recommend this location to anyone and would definitely return here again. Thank you Mary!!

Fantastic place to stay!

My wife and I spent two weeks enjoying the best rental we’ve ever stayed in. One of the nicest things about the property is that it has easy access to freeways, without being so close as to hear traffic. Clean, quiet, perfectly sized for two inside and lots of room outside (covered patio with a grill, fire pit and table for four). Fully furnished kitchen. Lots of appliances, all top notch (for example, four burner stove with two ovens). Large refrigerator. High end dishwasher. Plenty of spices and other basics that most rentals don’t have. Sharp knives! All perfect for us, as we like to cook. Climate control: heat pumps, with an outlet in the living room and one in the bedroom. TV in the living room and in the bedroom, with a queen bed that the head raises up to watch TV. Perfectly laid out bathroom with a large walk-in shower. Orange and lemon trees, with available fruit should you need it. The rental is behind the owner’s home; if you are concerned about that, don’t fear. The owners are extremely friendly, and even more respectful of your space. We can’t wait to return. We’re really looking forward to a return visit

Absolutely exceptional

My husband and I spent 8 nights at this incredible cottage (Feb 28 - March 7, 2024). I cannot possibly adequately describe how impressed we were! Communication prior to booking, after booking, and during our stay was quick and helpful. Check-in and check-out processes were seamless. Jerome and Mary are wonderful hosts - very kind and thoughtful. It’s obvious that their one goal is to ensure their guests are comfortable. The cottage is a recently converted garage at the back of their large property - but it is completely separate and private. The hosts are present in their home - with two wonderful dogs - but you would never know that they are there. We didn’t know there were dogs until we happened to see one on their front deck - NO barking! The cottage is beautiful. There is absolutely nothing they have not thought of - furnishings, appliances, dishes, linens, decor, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen decor are all high quality. There are even clean reusable shopping bags! If you forgot something - there’s a good chance you will find a replacement at the cottage. Location is very quiet residential. Dedicated parking in front. Everything is completely spotless. I am extremely fussy - and we have stayed at many rental properties. This one is by far the very best. We left with a bag of lemons and oranges - freshly picked for us by Jerome from the trees in the yard. Exceedingly highly recommend!
