I almost don't want to write a review for this place for fear of sharing a great secret. Randy is hands down the best host we've ever met. Everything you've read is true
He's welcoming, attentive, and genuinely loves hosting. His place is full of little touches of character and is incredibly memorable, it's not a sterile environment. It's cozy and warm and has a ton of character and feels liked home. I especially appreciate all the amenities, flexibility, and Randy's handiwork in building the private beach, totem poles and fenced off play space for kids. Seriously, so much respect for how much he built the space by hand and how much pride he takes in it. My son loved the space and I will book it every time I'm in San Diego. Beautiful location about 20 minutes from everything, and Randy was so gracious and responsive, his place made our trip relaxing even when it rained the entire time.
