Summary: Everything was great. Highly recommend for families with kids. Beautiful home and space. Perfect location.
Rachel R. Jun 25, 2025 11:45:22 AM
Summary: I can’t say enough good things about this place, it was perfect for our family of 5. Great location, neighborhood quiet and safe. A beautiful lime tree with so many limes for fresh limeade. Our children loved playing in the backyard and bonus room. It was so nice to have toys and basketball/soccer goal, balls, etc there to entertain the kids. I enjoyed the peloton in the bonus room for some exercise. The host, Sarah, was so communicative and helpful. They provided a pac n play that fit nicely in the walk in closet of the master bedroom for the baby. There was also a high chair provided so we didn’t have to bring one cross country. The beds were comfy, the kids loved the bunk beds. You can also see the Seaworld fireworks from the backyard every night. It truly was the perfect place for our family, will definitely look to stay here again when we visit again!
Lauren B. Jun 24, 2025 08:15:07 PM
Summary: This was perfect for our family get together. The house is clean and comfortable. The backyard area is very friendly and with the large sliding doors is easy for indoor/outdoor entertaining. It is close to the airport which was quite convenient but you do hear the air traffic. Would stay again

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Gathering Place! The title definitely describes this rental spot. We had a last-minute need to change plans in hosting my daughter’s college graduation party, and the host, Sarah, kindly permitted us to host our gathering at her Vrbo. She saved the day and our family gathering! The house is amazing and perfect!
Yari F. Mar 21, 2025 07:15:06 AM
Summary: Gorgeous house! My toddler loved the back yard and the play room. Parking was great, no issues. Overall a 10/10, would definitely stay here again!
Holly S. Feb 24, 2025 09:21:57 AM
Summary: We had an amazing time staying here. The house is so open and had everything we could have needed. My kids loved playing in the backyard and playroom. Prior to arriving, Sarah checked in and let me know the pack n play and high chair were already set up. It was a relief to have those available and ready with our late arrival time. We ran into an issue (nothing wrong with the property) and management responded quickly to help us resolve it. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay on our vacation!
Ramya K. Feb 9, 2025 06:23:51 AM
Summary: We stayed here for a week and it was the most perfect getaway with my family! We were centrally located, with many grocery stores and shops within walking distance. The driveway made it easy to park our rental and commute around San Diego. Our three year old had a wonderful time - the playroom and backyard were perfect for him. We also had our infant and we had all the necessary amenities (high chair, portable crib, and an array of strollers!). Overall it was a very comfortable and family friendly locale.

Summary: We arrived the Thursday morning of Thanksgiving. Sarah was wonderful and accommodated us by allowing us to get into the house early so we could prepare our Thanksgiving meal. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook and get things ready. The kitchen and family room are very large and spacious, and there was plenty of room for the six of us. With the beautiful weather in San Diego we were able to sit outside and have some wine and lovely appetizers before the sun went down. The backyard is spacious and has a beautiful lemon tree right in the middle. The deck is comfortable with a fire pit and plenty of outdoor seating with string lights for ambiance. If you’re traveling with kids, this house is perfect. Plenty of outdoor activities and a separate indoor game room in the side garage. The location of this house is perfect. Minutes from liberty Station, 10 minutes from the airport and close to the highway entrance to get anywhere else in the San Diego It was a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking for an extended stay in the San Diego areaarea.
