"The studio was beautiful, clean, and cozy. The only thing that I will say is that the pictures advertised show both the main home and the studio, so it is misleading as to what amenities are available in your own space.

Sunny San Diego Home w/ Private Yard & Grill!

Linda Vista

"I was a very nice stay in a clean home, very impressed. The next statement are improvement suggestions. We had to clean the grill before using it. The grease trap underneath the burners was pretty thick and a potential fire hazard. The patio can use better lighting. The base of tub needs a new bead of chalking. The Brita water pitcher is cracked on the bottom and leaked in the refrigerator. We washed the hammock that smelled like dog my wife said. All in all a very nice comfortable stay."

Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina

10/10 Excellent

"We originally booked a Hyatt Indian Wells in Palm Desert, but the temperature that weekend was expected to reach 118 degrees. Hyatt was incredibly understanding and waived the cancellation fee, allowing us to celebrate our anniversary at Hyatt Mission Bay instead. It turned out to be the best decision we could have made. From the valet service and upgraded room to kayaking on the bay and breakfast, the entire experience was wonderful. Two staff members made a lasting impression, although I unfortunately forgot their names. One gentleman, whose desk was near the ATM, brought us water while we waited in line. He helped us plan our day, suggested Belmont Park, and recommended routes for rollerblading with our kids. The lady who checked us in was also amazing. I remember her mentioning that her daughter’s name was Gracie. She connected with us genuinely and made our anniversary feel truly special. What could have been a disappointing change of plans became an unforgettable family experience. This was the best service I have ever received from a hotel staff. We will absolutely return!"

California Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for the price point. Clean, easy to get to and close to the beach as long as you drive. The blankets are thin so I would bring my own, and the mattress is a little wonky, but incredibly clean and well maintained. The pool is super nice and I would visit again."
