This house was definitely the highlight of our trip to San Diego! I joined my parents, my sister and her husband for a week, and we were looking for a peaceful, spacious place to relax and spend time together. Todd’s home has the feeling of a very well appointed private resort, and I really look forward to staying here again. We immediately felt very welcome, as if we were staying in the home of a long time friend. We did not want to leave!

The house and the grounds were even better in person than they appear in the photographs! The kitchen is well equipped to prepare any type of meal for a large group, and we also made good use of the BBQ grill. There is plenty of space and separate seating areas both inside and outside the house, so there was always plenty of room for everyone, and we all had our own space when needed. The neighbors and neighborhood were also extremely quiet which made sleeping with the windows open very pleasant on the cool San Diego nights.

Located on a canyon, the large backyard patio is very private with comfortable seating areas for lounging and napping (which we did often). The outdoor dining area adjacent to the BBQ is very convenient, and the additional lounge adjacent to the detached cottage and hot tub (which was also great) offers an even more secluded area to relax. The entire house is very tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished, and shows especially beautiful at night with the extensive lighting both inside and outside the house.

We also very much appreciated the gift basket of various goodies that we received upon our arrival, along with a thorough explanation on the operation of the home’s electronics. For anyone looking for a quiet, spacious, well appointed, and tastefully decorated home in San Diego, this really is a great value that I would highly recommend.
