May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hemingway Heaven is right! We were in San Diego area for work, but knew we'd have some downtime to enjoy, so chose this beautiful property, and were so thrilled with it. It has quality furnishing, a gorgeous pool, firepit, and views! Plus, a modern kitchen, with everything needed to cook, comfortable bedrooms and living room. We couldn't have asked for a better spot for our 4-day stay! ##### Kristin S. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex W. Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Hemingway Heaven is a great description. The house was clean and had a gorgeous view of the mountains. We were extremely pleased with our stay. The master ed was extremely comfortable. Close to the zoo and to far from the safari. ##### Alex W.

It had everything you need. It was clean, comfortable beds, everything was great. If you need to get ahold of the property manager you’ll need to call them. The messaging feature in VRBO is not monitored and the number they tell you to call is wrong in the auto-reply. ##### Mark M. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### john s.
