Golf trip to San Diego

We had a wonderful time at this property which was perfectly located for our golf adventures and also exploring the historic Old Town and Gaslamp District. The quick walk to the cliffs revealed breathtaking views. Upon arrival we were treated by the Maintenance Manager who was welcoming and gave us good dining tips.

Great property!

This house worked great for our group. A couple of the pictures were slightly inaccurate so we had to improvise with the sleeping arrangements. There was no futon in the granny pod and the upstairs loft area futon is very old and not useable for sleeping. But overall was a great place to stay, very very clean and we would stay again.

This home was perfect for celebrating my dads 60th birthday. The rooms are very spacious and the home had everything we needed. The kitchen especially came in handy. The location was absolutely perfect for getting around to OB, downtown, abd mission beach. I was thankful they provided plenty of beach chairs and bikes. My only suggestion would be to look at the plumbing in the private guest house out back. Thats the room i stayed in and it had a very strong water mildew smell and the shower has trouble draining. I was able to cover the smell with air freshner and room scents. Good out weighed the bad. Very nice and comfortable stay.

Lovely, immaculate house with plenty of room for family and friends.

The house feels so much larger than it is. It was very clean and beautifully decorated. The upstairs is like a master suite retreat. We had 8 adults in our group and we never felt crowded or cramped. The kitchen was a dream to cook and serve in. Our family was visiting San Diego to celebrate my daughters graduation from SDSU and the house was the perfect fit for the BBQ get together. Everyone who walked into the house said "Wow! What a great house!" The beds were super comfy and our adult son loved having the cottage all to himself. We also loved the location... It was conveniently close to all of the places we went. I just can't say enough good things about this place. Thank you for making our trip seamless and so enjoyable.

Great Stay (Just Manage a Few Expectations)

It seems that photos online tend to distort the reality of hotels and rentals. This house was great, but didn't look as good as the pics display. Plus, I failed to ask about AC (never assume). There was no AC in 80+ degree weather, so fans helped but it was a bit warm when heading to bed, especially upstairs. The neighbor across the street keeps a pretty shabby home, so it didn't always feel classy. That's the downside, but there were plenty of upsides, such as spacious, nice yard, good supplied, 2-3 blocks from Ocean, and ample TVs, Wifi, etc. While I would not likely return for the price paid, it was a great family experience for us overall.

Family friendly & great location!

We really enjoyed our stay in this spacious home. It's a great layout for multiple families, as there are plenty of bathrooms and well-arranged bedrooms. We appreciated the abundance of kitchen utensils and the high quality appliances, as we cooked almost every breakfast and dinner during our week-long stay. The furniture has been changed from what is shown in the listing photos, so it's not quite as stylish as it appears online, but we were satisfied with what was provided. We had two young children (1 and 3 years old) in our party, and felt very safe letting them play in the area without having to helicopter over them too much. The backyard is small, but we spent most of our time exploring San Diego, so it was enough for us! There are several great nearby restaurants with delivery service (not walking distance, but close enough for a quick turnaround via Uber Eats), and close to the cliffs for a scenic beach walk. We would definitely stay at this location again!

A Perfect Getaway at The Grande House plus Studio in Point Loma.

We recently had the pleasure of staying and celebrating a 2024 New Year at The Grande House plus Studio in Point Loma, and it truly exceeded all expectations for a perfect vacation retreat. This charming property is ideally located, being close to the Cabrillo national park and numerous local attractions, making it an excellent choice for those seeking both relaxation and adventure and local restaurants. One of the standout features of The Grande House is its spacious layout, comfortably accommodating a group of 10. The tastefully decorated interiors exude warmth and charm, creating a welcoming atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. The addition of the attached studio provides an extra level of privacy, making it an ideal option for larger groups or families. Even dough we traveled without our dog that time, there is a dog-friendly backyard with fire pit and a gas grill. The owner provided a few bicycles, which we used to ride to the shore and to the Shelter Island. The proximity to the shore is another major advantage of this vacation house. A short and scenic walk takes you to the water's edge, allowing for breathtaking views and tranquil moments by the sea. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, beach lover, or someone simply seeking a peaceful escape, The Grande House offers the perfect balance. The Grande House plus Studio in Point Loma is a gem of a vacation rental. Its combination of proximity to natural wonders, local attractions, and a pet-friendly.

very nice rental

The home was in very good condition and we had a great time here. We stayed over the 4th of July and could see fireworks from the deck and also from the backyard...very nice to avoid the crowds! Cliffs are easy walking distance at about 4 blocks. One caution...we were told that the backyard was secure for a dog, but the fence on the side of the house is a 2 foot tall wrought iron gate that my pekingese (and I did tell them my dog was small) was easily able to slip through and be out front. We had gates in case we needed to gate her in the house, and were able to block it, so it worked out, but keep that in mind if you take any dog. Our friends had planned to bring their beagle but did not..but she could have probably jumped the fence. We had 12 people there-and were able to accommodate all without utilizing the couch in the master bedroom so that was nice. Gas stove was a little tricky but worked well once we got the hang of it. 2 of the bikes had flat tires, but we had enough bikes without them. Dining room looks much bigger in the pictures, but it is accurately described as seating 6. The seating area out back is very nice, we ate most of our meals out there. Service was good, we would definitely recommend this property.

Family Wedding Stay

This home was great because it had 4 bedrooms with ensuite baths. Sadly, the photos do not always match the current home. The home was much darker inside and the blinds are hit and miss as far as working order. Hard to use and get that light. The master bath has several lights out. It is dark in that bathroom because there are no lights above the mirror on the vanity. All lights are cans in the ceiling and several are out. The pictures of the yard are inaccurate. the furniture is gone and there is a lot of over growth so not so open and bright. The kitchen is spacious but the sink faucet needs fixing or replacing. The management company claims that it only provides a Keurig but to our delight, there was a regular drip coffee maker. Please make note....There is no HVAC...A/C and it can get warm at night. Some of the baths have drainage issues, the studio/casita outside backs up in the sink and shower. Overall, it is an awesome location but the pictures are old and deceiving. Suggest you just park in the driveway and do not mess with the garage.

Family Wedding Stay

This home is in a good neighborhood with a very short walk to the Sunset Cliffs. The house was beneficial because it had 4 bedrooms with ensuite baths, this was great for 4 adult couples. The pictures of this property must be very old though. When in the home it is not as light and bright, the blinds are in some disrepair and hard to open and close. The master bath is dark because there is no lighting over the vanity mirror. There are only canned lights in the ceiling. and several were not working. Some of the bedrooms had slow draining sinks/showers The bathroom in the studio/casita was the worst. The back yard looks very different. The outdoor furniture is not there and there is more vegetation growth so not as open. The kitchen is very large and easy to move around. The sink faucet sprayer is in need of repair/replacement. The management company says that there is only a Keurig coffee maker but we did happily find a regular brew style coffee maker. There was adequate toilet paper provided but no kleenex. If you do actually plan to cook, you will need to provide oil and seasonings. We did not utilize the grill, fireplaces, bikes or fire pit. I recommend parking in the driveway and not bothering with the garage. Overall, the house fit our needs for this trip, just wish it had been a bit more accurate with the pictures.

Disappointing

As a family who lives to cook we planned meals in advance for 7 people. Upon arrival we tried to use the stove top, one burner did not work. I called to let the company know and was told please do not use the Stove top it is very dangerous!!!! Had I not called I would not have known this!! This fiasco with the stove went in the majority of the trip. We were leaving in a Sunday and on Friday they finally replaced the stove top. However, the replacement required cutting the countertop! Fine dust left everywhere and we had to scrub down everything!!! All this in addition to having to now disregard the former prepared meals and eat out for 7 people. Company refunded $504 , an insufficient amount considering the danger involved in not telling us about the stove, the inconvenience of our dining plans , the clean up time spent after the new stove top was put in and the aggravation of being on the phone constantly with the company instead of enjoying my vacation! Be very careful dealing with the company associated with this property- Nancy’s Vacation !
