Yacht Vacation

We had a wonderful time. The host was very communicative and friendly. There were six women on the trip and the yacht was big enough for all of us without ever feeling cramped. We would stay here again.

Escape from convention craziness

This yacht was a wonderful escape from the intensity of a convention we were attending. We loved sitting up on the fly bridge in the evenings. It was so peaceful to feel the breeze and watch the wildlife. We will definitely stay again if we are back in the area.

Must stay on West Star

We had a fantastic experience staying on West Star recently. Although a short distance from downtown San Diego, the quality of the accommodation, the facilities at the Marina and the ease of getting into the city and San Diego's attractions make this the place to stay when you visit this wonderful city.The hosts are great. Easy communication and helpful advice made checking in and out a breeze.

Relaxing

The boat is roomy and, although a bit older, it is well cared for and clean. We enjoyed the relaxing time, smooth water, and kayaking. Would definitely stay again.

Fun option for San Diego!

This was such a fun option for our family while we toured some colleges and hit up sea world! We loved being able to fish off the back the boat, use the kayaks and eat at the little restaurant in the Marina! Highly recommend!

Loved the boat !

Staying on the West Star was one of the most peaceful places we’ve ever vacationed. Beds were comfy. Boat was well stocked with what we needed. Our favorite place to hang out was the back deck.

Stay on a yacht!

We had a wonderfully peaceful stay on the West Star in the San Diego area. The accommodations were exactly as expected. Well cared for and appropriately appointed. The marina itself was lovely. Just such a pleasant environment to spend a peaceful stay. Communication with the hosts was excellent. They made it so easy and efficient. We would definitely do it all over again. If you’ve never stayed on or spent any time on a yacht, this is a unique opportunity. Well worth it. Highly recommended!!!

Very Relaxing yacht

We had the most relaxing stay on this boat. Very nice and well stocked. Tim did an amazing job orienting us to the boat. We spent most of our time on the upper deck. For others who stay here it’s only 15 minutes from San Diego. It took us no time to get to the zoo from the yacht. Nice pool and hot tub on the property grounds which we used daily. We appreciated all the amenities and being able to stay in such a nice VRBO.

Super fun alternative

Really fun. Lots of quirky differences and surprises made this a real crowd pleaser. Slightly challenging in some ways, but mostly lots of fun. The general neighborhood is not inconvenient but neither is it central to the various sights. Still it’s in within striking distance and has the distinct advantage of all sorts of amenities that no house nor hotel would have like kayaks, pool, hot tub, games, grills and decks, restaurant, access to rental jet skis and waterfront dining on your own floating veranda(s!). Glad we chose to stay here. Hosts were very friendly and easy to work with.

Awesome experience!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the yacht. Everything was 100% positive. We loved everything about the yacht, the marina was beautiful, and the overall setup was perfect. The beds were comfy, the yacht was super clean, all the living areas were great, the kitchen was extremely functional, the bedroom/bathroom combinations worked out well for our group of 4, and the five unique levels of the yacht made it a unique experience. Elizabeth and Tim were always available when we had a question. And, they are super nice people. We love our VRBO rentals, and especially when the owners are high quality people like Elizabeth and Tim. A unique renting experience we will always cherish and remember. Without question, an enthusiastic five-star review!! This yacht is a big time winner. You will not be disappointed.

Very unfriendly host

This is not a review on the property but on the host. My family couldn't make it to our stay due to unfortunate personal circumstances. The host charges an extra guest fee and because we could not make it ,we politely requested they refund the extra guest fee. All we got was silence and eventually a message, "Please feel free to contact who you need to.". Incredibly rude to say the least and it doesn't make sense to hang on to an extra guest fee when there were **0** guests.

Wedding Trip

The West Star yacht made for a fun stay in San Diego while we were in town for our son’s wedding. We were met at the marina by Elizabeth, who walked us to the yacht while explaining the amenities available during our stay. Once aboard, we received a brief tour and important information about staying on The West Star. Our stay was trouble-free, and we had a wonderful time. When it was time to depart, Elizabeth met us to collect our gate fobs and ensure everything had gone well. Thank you for a fun and memorable stay!

Came to San Diego for a wedding, stayed for the yacht!

We stayed with family the first few days of this trip but wanted a little adventure for the three of us for a few days after the wedding - so we booked a yacht! This boat is lovely, and the pictures are accurate. Beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well appointed. We were able to Door Dash from local restaurants directly to the marina and dining on the lower deck in the evening was so nice! Everything about this stay was GREAT! (And a day at the Zoo was a highlight!)

New experience family fun

Fun to stay somewhere new and experience something fun and different. We are used to camping in the mountains and this was like camping on the water. Elizabeth was great host who met us at the marina and gave us a personal tour of the marina and the boat.
