This home is beautiful and immaculately maintained inside and out. It was home away from home for 6 days, warm and inviting. Everything we needed. Communication with the owner was excellent. She was attentive and helpful. I’m so grateful for this wonderful experience. I definitely would recommend this to anyone staying in Kensington and hope to reserve it again on our next trip to San Diego.

Great house, location and owners!
This was our second stay. We were visiting family in Kensington. The home is a charming bungalow with updated kitchen and bathrooms. It is very comfortable and the backyard patio is quite nice as well. Kensington is a great neighborhood, inland from downtown San Diego and the beaches. It is right off Hwy 15 and provides easy to access other areas in San Diego. Marie-france and her husband are quite lovely and attentive to every detail. We will defintely stay again next time we are in San Diego - highly recommend!

Lovely property!
This property is in a wonderful area of San Diego. Kensington is family oriented with lots of people out and about during the day. The home is relaxed with a restful dining area outside. All rooms are inviting and cozy. Delightful tiling in bathrooms and kitchen add to the experience of California living. Everything we could need in the kitchen was supplied as well as towels and guides for the area. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Marie-France and Gerald Gaucher; Gerald even came at 9:30 PM for assistance with computer issues! Wonderful home and grand host and hostess!
