My husband and two boys (5/8) stayed at Michael's place for three nights. It is tucked in a relatively unremarkable neighborhood on the southern end of the bay, has a genuinely local feel and is unassuming. The place itself is an impressive oasis extending down into a little hillside where the multi-level house is built. There are two apt. options and I highly recommend the larger one which comes with it's own hot tub and BBQ on the little private deck overlooking the better part of the yard/pool (and animals). We, like so many others, spent an entire day resting there and listening to the birds, very relaxing. The emus, fish, turtles, rabbits, etc. are a great perk we've never missed but added a lot to the experience. The small Chula Vista town center is nearby and has a few food/shopping options, but is limited (locals very nice!). The nearby Imperial beach is pretty, family friendly, and nice, several restaurants but not crazy busy. Kids enjoyed watching the surfers. The place was quaint, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen was a bit awkward for those who like to cook a lot, but well-stocked and workable. The bedroom/apt was generally quiet and had beautiful tile/stone work all around. Very earthy. There was an issue with a remote that Michael solved quickly and easily. He was a friendly and helpful host and gave a nice tour of the place upon arrival. He seems generally very generous with his place and it's easy to settle into. He was flexible with check in time and easy to communicate with. Though he is nearby physically and helpful, he is very respectful of privacy and we only ran into him one during our stay. There were loads of tv entrainment options, a stocked fridge by the main pool/hot tub area, laundry facility, and kids felt quickly at home after several days of more rigorous activity. Would stay there again!
