We're ROARING to visit again!
Our visit to San Diego was made magical by our stay in this Safari Cabin. Hands-down, this was the best rental we’ve ever stayed in, and we will definitely book this cabin the next time we plan a visit to San Diego. Sandy and Paul thought of everything a family could need when vacationing: a myriad of toiletries and condiments and pantry items, kitchen tools and appliances, spare towels and blankets, board games, play dough, puzzles, office supplies, a cooler for the beach, and more. The shower was spacious and comfortable with great water pressure. The table surfaces had glass tops (yay for not worrying about children and coasters!). My husband and I slept on the pull out sofa in the great room so that we could stay up late being adults and I could make my morning coffee without waking the children. We placed the mattress topper from the bedroom onto the sofa bed, and it made the sofa bed extremely comfortable. This rental is also pretty close to some great places: Sarita’s Taco Shop and Santa Sophia Catholic Church. Per my husband: I felt like I was at a resort, but private. The grounds were beautiful and lush, and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. You picked good. Per my seven year old: My favorite thing about the safari cabin was the hot tub and water gun. I liked the beautiful cheetah, leopard, and tiger stuffies. Per my six year old: My favorite part was the rope swing! (Verified. It was very difficult to keep her off the rope swing.) Thank you, Sandy and Paul!

Absolutely Wonderful!
We loved our stay! Our hosts comunicated very well and respected our privacy (my family and I mostly keep to ourselves). The Safari Cabin was super clean and organized and was extremely well stocked with anything you might need and more! The master bed was like sleeping on a cloud so very comfortable. My 9 year old daughter slept like a log on the fold out couch and told me she never wants to stay in a hotel again. Check in and check out was very easy and we will be staying at Sandy's the next time we visit San Diego. If you want comfort and quality sleep this place is for you.

Great Stay at Safari Cabin!
Clean, comfortable, cozy cabin, conveniently located twenty minutes from downtown. Peaceful property and nice neighborhood. Stores and restaurants are close. Property owner is a great communicator. Great deal overall. Would recommend to a couple or family with 1-2 kids. Would (and hopefully will) return.

Perfect stay! Amazing host!
We recently came from Kalamazoo, Michigan to chase the sun and take a family trip. After canceling a stay at a Hilton in Carlsbad, our family decided to book this amazing place and head to San Diego. My husband and I, & our 6 year old son found this awesome guest house. 😀 The location is excellent and the property has everything you need, but you won’t need much because the property has it all. It was clean, comfortable and very spacious. We stayed during cooler times, so we weren’t able to rake advantage of the pool or the hot tub, but it was lit up beautifully at night. We were there for adventures, and we’re pleased with how close it was to San Diego. We spent one day downtown and on Coronado Island, one day at Legoland (✅ off the bucket-list) and had so much fun. 🥳The yard is breathtaking and everyday I woke up and was reminded about my time living in Hawaii - loved seeing the birds of paradise plants just outside the window. Sandy was an exceptional host, responding promptly when needed. She went above and beyond- so much that she did things for us that other hosts wouldn’t have done, and we were grateful.🙏 We highly recommend you book the Safari Cabin and we hope to be back someday again. Many thanks to Sandy & Paul.☺️

This cabin is an ideal vacation rental: quiet location with dedicated parking, comfortable beds and linens, fully equipped kitchen, generous offerings to help a traveler (coffee, snacks, games, etc), access to a pool and jacuzzi, and especially attentive, accommodating and caring hosts. We've been there twice and will return again!

Great location with character. Family-friendy set up with well-supplied kitchen. The hosts were very very friendly and accessible -- even greeting us at the door for a very late arrival. We really felt welcomed and appreciated their generous hospitality.
