DO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE
Submitted: April 10, 2013
Stayed: March 2013
In the past, I have rented 5 homes in 5 different states (Fla, Maine, NY, Hawaii and California) they have all been great experiences. This by FAR WAS THE WORST. This was definitely not a "luxury rental" that the owners advertised. The owners recently added on a jacuzzi to the pool area and had some other work done which has caused structural problems in the home. When we were there we faced:
1.Plumbing issues-the toilets clogged repeatedly-I was not expecting to have to plunge toilets while still paying for a "luxury rental". Our last day there, both first floor toilets overflowed. None of the showers provided adequate water pressure or heat.
2. Electrical issues-one night our children were in the pool and all the lights in the pool and the house went out. The owner asked us to go to the circuit box and flip the switch-the circuit box (located behind the garbage) was clearly over run and was hot to the touch. Michael (the owner's husband) did try to come out and address this issue-but these structural problems were beyond his control. Needless to say, we did not let the children use the pool after this!
3.All the kitchen appliances were faulty and outdated. The stove had only one functional burner for our stay. The toaster oven never worked. The kitchen was one of the main reasons we rented this home.
4.The linens were soiled and the beds/pillows were very uncomfortable.
5.The house was advertised as having elderly/disabled accommodations-of which it had none. This was also one of the reasons we rented this home as one member of our party is elderly and disabled.
Michael tried to understand our point of view and tried to solve some of our issues, but they were out of his control. April, on the other hand, was argumentative and defensive and her response really ruined our vacation. We did ask for a refund but she ignored our request completely. Do not believe what she says in her rebuttal, as you can see she has responded to everyone's comments with a defense-it is just her personality to be defensive. All in all a very disappointing experience-don't make the same mistake with your family!

Owner's Response: We welcome suggestions and depend on input from our guests for improvements, but we
don't feel this is valid feedback. We'll let the review from the guests who left just prior to this guest's arrival and previous reviews speak for us. Most of the appliances and linens are less than 4 months old. When we do find something isn't working we immediately fix or replace it. We are in a water conserving area so the homes and hotels have low flow toilets and showers, but we have never had complaints or had anyone overflow the toilet. The only valid
point is the fuse did trip on the 5th night of their 7 night stay.
They were very angry and wanted their money back. My wife emailed a friend who manages 40
vacation rentals in the area and found 2 other comparable rentals
nearby by 630am the next morning. We arranged with the property
manager to pay for it ourselves and help them
transfer their belongings. They wouldn't look at the links to the
houses or consider leaving. Instead they made treats of what
they would do if we didn't give them a refund in cash. We sent
an electrician who could not find anything wrong and assured them that the house & pool were safe. During the
conversation with the person making the threats my wife discovered it
wasn't Yumna, the person who rented the house, but one of the unauthorized people
above the 8 people on the agreement who had been staying at the home.
This person was the one we checked in and had been implying that she
was the renter during the stay. Yumna wasn't there when we met at the house at
the agreed time at checkout & that's why my wife stopped
conversation with them. We advertise as wheel chair accessible under the
guidelines by home away, but we do not advertise as having
accommodations such as a handicapped shower or hand rails. The only
request made by Yumna was a noon check in at no additional charge
because an elderly person in their group would need to rest after the
long flight from New York. We accommodated her request. We have met some wonderful people
through renting our home and never had any issues prior to this. Unfortunately due to this experience we will have to ask for ID and a credit card at check in. We hope our future guests understand.

An excellent spot

We had a great family vacation in San Diego, largely due to the great accommodation. The location on Mt. Soledad was great for views and biking. The interior was clean and spacious allowing for our family (parents + 4 kids) and grandparents (2) to sleep and live comfortably for the week. The exterior was a highlight - great BBQ grill and pool. The kids enjoyed every minute in the water (heated to be used comfortably in March). April and Michael were accessible and helpful for any needed help. We look forward to returning.
Owner's Response: We enjoy renting out our home especially when we get to meet such nice families like yours. We look forward to your next visit!

April and Michael -
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. You have a beautiful state and an even more beautiful house. We are absolutely in love with your pool and the rocks, slide, mini-sitting area on top, waterfall, and shower are incredible! Just what a group of Minnesotans needed. :) We appreciate you providing the pack-n-play as well as having booster seats - so helpful when traveling with little kids. You really had everything we needed.
We made some great memories and hope to return in the future! Thank you again and cheers to a great 2013!

This house was Perfect! The location was great... close to the beach yet private and quiet. It was nice waking up to our own private pool and views of the ocean and bays. The layout was very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked and everything was clean and well kept. We could tell the owners take pride in their property and were very pleasant to deal with. I highly recommend staying here and will definitely do so again during our next San Diego trip.

Family Holiday
Submitted: September 27, 2012

What can I say!
We are a family of eight from the UK ranging in age from 15 to 80. The house, views, accommodation, location and particularly the pool were exceptional.
We toured California using the house as a base, visiting Disneyland, Universal Studios, San Diego Zoo and San Diego restaurants, shops etc.
The pool provided a relaxing and fun way to spend alternate days just chilling out with a barbecue and beer.
There are shops and restaurants within five minutes drive of the house and the easy access to freeways gave my shopaholic kids plenty of opportunities to visit designer outlets!
The owners were available for advice and I would recommend the house to all ages for a fun, relaxing and comfortable stay.
If we come back to San Diego (and I hope we do) this is where we will stay.

My girlfriends and I were excited to have a night to get together, cook and talk in a way we haven't been able in many years (since careers and families have come). We loved the house, especially the pool and the deck. We were comfortable and able to make delicious meals, and we had exactly the experience we were hoping for. Everyone was helpful and the house was perfect. Our only regret was that it was only one night.

Fantastic house!

I recently stayed in this lovely house with my parents, husband and 4 year old son. I'm not sure which if the 'boys' enjoyed the waterslides in the pool most! The house was ideally placed for seaworld, gaslamp, the zoo and La Jolla beaches, but we were always keen to come back to enjoy the pool.
The view of the 4th July fireworks made our trip, but the 'normal' nightly ones from seaworld were pretty amazing too. The viewing terrace at the top of the waterslides is perfect.
Many thanks to April & Michael for their excellent recommendations for restuarants & golf courses, and for attending to the loss of tv so quickly (my husband had pulled the cable out!!). The interior of the house was very well finished and stocked with everyday essentials such as laundry/dishwasher tabs/herbs etc.
We had a wonderful time and would like to thank you very much for sharing your lovely house with us!

Great Holiday home, My Party of 10 enjoyed every inch of this wonderful holiday home. The swimming pool was great especially the water slides and the impressive waterfall really did make the place look that bit more spectacular. We watched the fireworks from Sea World from the viewing point in the evenings and made the most of the awesome views across the San Diego bay day and night. You will need to hire cars because San Diego beaches/shops is a 5 minute drive but well worth it.
San Diego is one of the nicest places I have ever been to and the holiday home really did make our stay that much more comfortable and enjoyable. We made use of the BBQ and the well equipped Kitchen most evenings, we were very sad to leave this home as it started to feel like our own. We were fortunate enough to meet the Solis family who were very accommodating and friendly people, easy to contact and always followed up on any queries/questions we had during our stay.
On arrival we found a welcome folder on the table, the folder consisted of information on the house, i.e. how the showers work, rules and advice on how to maintain the swimming pool and when the bins need to go out etc. Towards the back of the folder there is a list of places to see whilst staying in San Diego and Restaurants to go to etc. We tried to get to all of the places but sadly ran out of time. I’m speaking on behalf of my group when I say we really couldn't ask for anything more the Solis Holiday home is one I would recommend to anyone and everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again in the near distant future.
Many Thanks

Amazing Holiday Home.

Great Holiday,
I have just returned back to the UK after spending a week at this San Diego Holiday home and i must say it was wonderful.
The Location was lovely (Hire car or own transport needed)
The Accommodation was superb...
There was 10 of us staying at the house and we had plenty of room inside and outside of the holiday home.
We used the swimming pool every day without fail, the water slides were excellent and the pool was always at a good temperature and beautiful. The viewing point at the top of the pool structure is breath taking. We all gathered to watch the fire works from Sea World most evenings. We made good use of the BBQ and relaxed around the poolside. The info pack when we arrived was very helpful and we tried to see everything the Solis family advised us to do. San Diego is beautiful and i would love to visit again. I would certainly use this home again as this home provided everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
This Holiday home really did tick all the boxes and April and Michael were very quick to respond to any questions/queries we had. We had the pleasure in meeting both of them and the kids during our stay and what a lovely family they are. Helpful, Honest and Accommodating.
Great Holiday home, We were all very sad when we left for the airport.
Many Thanks to the Solis family on making our visit to San Diego a successful one and we would all recommend staying here.
Thanks again.

Awesome Home
Submitted: June 5, 2012
Stayed: May 2012
The property was great. It was very clean and comfortable. The owners were very nice and helpful. My four grandkids, ranging in age from 3-7, had a great time. There were alot of toys for them to play with, both in the house and outside in the pool. The grandkids were a little small for the water slides but my two adult sons loved it. The pool is heated and a few of the days were overcast and the pool was great. The location was close to all the restaurants, beach, grocery stores, etc. The kitchen could of used more glasses, plates and smaller pans but it was stocked with all the other cooking items. I would definitely recommend this house for families. If I would ever return to San Diego, I will definitely rent this house again.
