Comments From Our Guests

bulletUnfortunately all good things must come to an end!  I just wanted to let you know that we had a great time at your place last week.  Your home was very well stocked in terms of any items we might have needed and your thorough Guest Guide was able to help us with any questions we may have had regarding the house or the surrounding area.  I can definitely say that this was the most "user friendly" home that we have stayed at in Mission Beach over the last few years.

The Lakon Family
San Marino, California

bulletWe enjoyed our stay very much and were delighted that the pantry and fridge were stocked with snacks and foods our kids eat. Our two young children loved the bins of toys and books and were happy they could watch their favorite shows on cable. The home was very clean and organized upon our arrival and we used the guide book quite a bit to find places to eat and things to do. We loved that the beach was a short walk and the bay was close enough to walk to also. We walked out every night to see the sun set over the water. We enjoyed eating breakfast at Olives, their chocolate chip pancakes are delicious! The staff was very friendly at all the local restaurants we ate at. This house is right in the middle of everything and a short drive to the zoo, park, downtown, and 40 minutes to Legoland. Thank you for making our vacation to San Diego so enjoyable!

bulletWe are so impressed with your place and every little detail, that even though we don't have children I wanted to tell you how wonderful it is to see a vacation rental set up with such care, thoughtfulness and love. It's amazing. We've been here only 5 days, with 25 more to go and we are so very comfortable, I'm not sure we will be able to leave when our time comes.
You and your wife are amazing....thank you for the best rental experience we have ever had. And you can post this if you want. I can't imagine saying anything more when the time comes to leave, but, Thank You for allowing us to enjoy your perfect home in its perfect location. I can smell and hear the ocean as I sit on the porch right now.

Bullhead City, Arizona

bulletThank you for the gift basket.  We had such a wonderful time at your beach house. My sisters and I get together every two years for a week and this was by far the best Sister Trip we have had. We enjoyed shopping in the morning and sunning on the beach in the afternoon. The house was convenient to everything that you could want or need. This was a nice, relaxing vacation that allowed us all to catch up with each other. Thank you again! It was wonderful!

bulletWe had a great time on our vacation at the beach house.  I loved the fire pit.  We enjoyed roasting hot dogs & making s'mores. Then just chatting  around the fire pit.  We enjoyed eating at Nick's for dinner, & the Mission for breakfast was fabulous! The beach was great & we got to see some dolphins (at least their fins)! The people there were all very friendly.

bulletOur sister trip to San Diego was one of the best vacations I have had.  The beach and beach house was wonderful and very relaxing.   I did not want to return to Missouri and the 100 degree weather here.  There is so much to do in San Diego!  You will not hear many women say they were tired of shopping, but we shopped until we were worn out so I don't think I will be shopping anytime soon!  I can't wait to go back!  Thank you so much for making this such a fun and memorable time!

bulletOur San Diego vacation was amazing, due in large part to having such a wonderful place to stay. When we were looking for a house, we were concerned about finding something big enough, close enough to the beach, and also within close walking distance to places we could eat and drink and also bring our kids.  The location of the house completely satisfied these concerns.  Everything we needed for a great vacation was within steps.  The house was immaculate, well-organized and stocked with everything.  Our 2 year old son enjoyed the toys so much that we had to convince him to leave his room the first day and come to the beach!  Schwartz family, thank you so much for letting us stay at your fantastic beach home-- it was everything we wanted and more!

The Krell Family
Sacramento, California

bulletWe had a fantastic time and thought the location of the house was wonderful. We loved that we could go out for the day and then just stroll down to the beach for a swim when we got back. We have two small children and the fact that the house was stocked with everything we might need made it so much more relaxing.  We had read that you provided basic groceries but the range of food was a surprise, and a really nice touch.  The house was immaculate and outfitted beautifully.  We really don't have any complaints and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others, especially families.  Thank you for providing us with the base for a great holiday!

The Jones Family

bulletThe beach house on Ostend Court was just perfect for our family.  There were seven family members, including our two young grandsons and we never felt cramped.  The bedrooms  were set up perfectly for our needs.  We appreciated all the thought that was put into making this beach house feel like our own home.  The kitchen was beautiful and a pleasure to use.  We also enjoyed sitting in the back and using the grill several times.  The location is close to Sea World, San Diego Zoo, LegoLand, Seaport Village, etc. and of course the beautiful beach.  The sunsets are beautiful.  It will be a vacation we won't soon forget.  We would recommend this lovely home to anyone.

Chandler, Arizona

bulletWe wanted to thank you and your wife for allowing us to rent your lovely beach home.  We had such a nice time... and your home is delightful.  We have rented many homes along Mission beach, but yours is really the first where I (particularly) truly felt as though I could completely relax.  You had amenities that made us feel as if you really wanted us there (supplies "just in cast") and we didn't feel worried that, if we needed something, we would have to run to Ralph's twenty times in order to have just basic necessities.  What a pleasant surprise! Even as we were preparing to depart, we were relaxed, which isn't always the case with a rental.

The Mulligan Family
Golden, Colorado

bulletWe enjoyed a week over Christmas this year at your stunning Mission Beach home.  Thank you so much for thinking of absolutely everything.  We brought our 2 children, ages 11 and 6, and my parents to enjoy a sunny San Diego Holiday and escape the freezing Minnesota winter!  Your home is gorgeous, immaculately clean and stocked with everything we could possibly have needed.  Such a perfect location and the Guest Guide that you left was very helpful in locating restaurants (Yes, The Mission for breakfast is a MUST!), and sites in the area.

We cannot wait to plan our next trip to San Diego – we certainly plan to stay at you r lovely home again and will recommend your home to our family and friends.

Thank you!!!

bulletYour rental is distinctly different than any we have ever rented. We usually pack a load of items such as beach toys, chairs, movies, etc. Once we complete our five-hour drive, we unpack and head to Ralph’s to buy our groceries for the week. This usually makes our first day a very tiring experience.  It is apparent that you went above and beyond in your consideration of guests’ needs. For the first time, we were able to arrive in San Diego , park the car in the garage, grab some beach equipment and head to the beach.  Rather than running to Ralph’s, we made dinner with the stocked food and relaxed. This start to our vacation after a long drive made all the difference in the world. Our first evening, the kids went upstairs and played with the toys and really enjoyed the bunk beds in the “children’s” room.  We were also able to shower and relax because you thought to have the bathrooms stocked with amenities. We didn’t make it to Ralph’s until our third day at which point we were a little beached out and ready for some grocery shopping.

Your thoughts regarding your guests’ enjoyment extended in many other areas. The washer and dryer made washing clothes quick and enjoyable. The MP3 player in the kitchen allowed us to enjoy music at a quality sound. The house has apparently been designed with children in mind. We had to do little to child proof. The style both inside and outside is very clean and beach-specific.  Your dedication to your guests’ enjoyment was reflective in other areas. The kitchen table is extremely functional. We were able to all have dinner together but also fold up the table and have ample room.  As a lawyer with my own practice in Arizona , email is mandatory for some resemblance of a sense of security.  Your wireless network worked without any issues and was easy to access.  Most helpful were the two binders stored in the kitchen cabinet next to the microwave. Any questions we had whether it be how to work the fireplace, the internet, heater, television and cable, where to get Sushi or simply order pizza were easily answered by the well-organized and straightforward information in the binders.  This was a nice luxury.

Many people have asked how my vacation went. I tell them “exceptional” because I was able to spend every minute talking, laughing, laying around or just being with my wife and kids. I would have not had near as much quality time had it not been for your consideration for your guests’ every need – both apparent and less obvious. We thank you.

bulletWe really enjoyed staying in your beach home - it was a perfect location!  So close to the beach and shopping. Thank you for stocking the house with all the extras! That was really nice and cut down the cost of having to bring or buy it all. The house was very clean and well organized. We loved the patio! Everyone in our family loved it!

bulletWe just wanted to thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home. The pictures on your website do not do justice. Your house is amazing. Our stay was wonderful and everything here was convenient and nothing short of perfect. We were sad we had to leave but can't wait to come back!

The Costello Family
Peoria, Arizona

bulletWe feel very fortunate to have stayed at this Mission Beach home.  This home has everything.  It's beautifully furnished with every amenity plus a GREAT location!  
Arriving from outside California you have a pleasant drive of less than 20 minutes from San Diego Int'l Airport. Access to the home is a breeze... the secure entry system allows immediate entry on your schedule. Go inside, drop your suitcases and start your vacation. The home is fully stocked with more than your basic needs.  You'll be amazed as to what the owners have thoughtfully provided for you. Just as we had hoped we were steps away from the beach, restaurants, water sports and rentals.  If you can tear yourself away, then San Diego and attractions are a short easy drive from the home.
Another guest's comments indicated that they were a family with young children. Our family included our sons who are in their twenties and their friends.  No reservations -- a great time was had by all!

bulletIf you are looking for something a few steps from the beach that has everything, then this is the place. A beautiful new home with everything you could ask for. As you can see from the pictures on the web page it is very nicely decorated both inside and out. We BBQ'd fresh fish almost every night and enjoyed the sunsets over a nice glass of wine. We look forward to coming back a couple of times next year.

The Morganstern Family

bulletWe really enjoyed your beach home and San Diego - it was beautiful and the house is so well maintained with every comfort and amenity thought out. The location is ideal being so close to the beach, but not necessarily having all the pedestrian traffic of the boardwalk. We hope to make it back there again. Thanks for such a great vacation experience.

bulletWow!  The house was perfect and you thought of everything.  Your kindness shows on every inch of the house and every detail provided.  It was such a comfort to know we didn't have to arrive and rush to the store.  We were impressed with how organized the house is, making it easy for the newcomer to navigate.  It is the perfect house for a young family.  We utilized it to the fullest.  We have already recommended it to a few friends in Pennsylvania.  We hope to return.  Thank you.

bulletGreat family-friendly, well-maintained rental home. We really enjoyed our stay here: the beach, the close-by activities, the Mission Restaurant! We would definitely recommend this home to friends and/or return for another visit in the future.

bulletWe truly appreciate your generosity in allowing us to stay at your Beach House in San Diego.  Not only was the house warm and inviting, the amenities were fabulous.  We played with the beach toys everyday.  And Allison and Sean played in the kids' room by themselves, allowing the adults some much needed rest time.  Thanks again!  Our time there will never be forgotten.

Thanks to you and your family for providing my family with such a memorable vacation. I can't express enough what a pleasure it was staying in your beach home. The location is incredible and your home was immaculate. This was our third vacation in the San Diego area. With out question this was the best. Your attention to detail is above all the rest. We have stayed in several hotels in the area and they don't match up to what your beach home has to offer. Everything from the guest book, restaurants, location, beach toys, kids room, and the master bath Jacuzzi was wonderful. Your neighbors were great and the surfing was incredible. Thank You, We look forward to seeing you next year!

I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you what a wonderful time we had at your beach home. You've done an excellent job in making your guests feel welcome and at home. This was our first vacation in San Diego and we couldn't have asked for a better home or nicer location. We just loved it!

Many thanks to you and your family for sharing your beach home with us last week.  The house is beautiful and the location is superb.  Thanks as well for the thorough guest information book....it really helps not having to search out all these seemingly "small things" that makes it much easier to settle in and relax.

Your beach home is absolutely wonderful.  The location is great, just steps away from the beach plus walking distance to some good restaurants. You have done an excellent job of furnishing with lots of amenities that make a vacation easy and special (kids' room and toys for the beach). Everything is brand new and of unbelievable quality. Another thing we found very helpful was the fact that you have absolutely everything covered in the guest binder. We had a great time.
