Excellent house and location

Kent, a great host, greeted us when we got there and showed us around the property. Parking for our rental car was available right in front of the door (on street) or in the driveway. Walking distance to restaurants was a big plus. Also only a 5 minute drive to the zoo. Rooms were large and comfortable. King size Bed was comfortable.

A Trip We’ll Never Forget

Kent was kind enough to let us use his property and beautiful courtyards for our private elopement ceremony. The house is very clean, private, and the surrounding area is absolutely stunning. The location and neighborhood cannot be beat, with easy access to the park and local shops. Kent is super nice and does an exceptional job communicating and answering questions. This is such a special place, and I cannot recommend it enough if you’re visiting San Diego!!

Restful Retreat Space

Our anniversary vacation was absolutely wonderful in the Grand Treetop Suite. Pictures do not do this tropical oasis justice! Whether we were enjoying the Craftsman home's spacious porch or the gorgeously landscaped courtyard with it's fountain and percola, we felt so relaxed. San Diego is one of our favorite cities, and this property's location is ideal for enjoying the area. We were minutes away from Balboa Park's museums, theaters, zoo, and beautiful green space. Petco Park, the Gaslamp District, and the waterfront were a short drive away, too. The owner, Kent, has created a gracious and tranquil retreat. He is a wonderful host. We definately want to come back!

Wonderful property and stay

We stayed for a week at Kent’s’ wonderful home. The property is beautiful with the gardens and the house are gorgeous. There was so much space.the location is so centrally located. Lots of nearby restaurants. I’d still recommend a car rental. Kent was kind enough to allow us an early check in. Some excellent spots for breakfast Colimas Hash House go go. The Taco stand is walkable ( but up a steep hill ) lol.All in all it was wonderful and we highly recommend it you will not be disappointed . P,us a bonus we got to experience an earthquake.
