This place is awesome! I've been going to San Diego since I was four years old. My dad moved down…read morehere after him and my mom split up and then he took care of my great grandmother who lived in La Jolla and that gigantic apartment building right off of that seal rock. My dad used to live in an apartment right off of the Pacific Beach Bay right down the road from Crown liquors. What I'm trying to say is that I know this area like the back of my hand and I love it down here. And if you're looking for a place that truly embodies, what being in San Diego is all about, the spot that I stayed in is what it's all about! Stay classy homes has classic San Diego vibes houses, and delivers classic San Diego vibes. I was down here saying with my sisters, my family and my cousins because my Dad passed away. We were there for a celebration of life. The house experience that I got with stay classy homes really made the experience shine out as an awesome one. The Neighbourhood was awesome. The house was awesome. The house was clean and accommodating. The host's were also very accommodating. They had pointed out cool spots in the neighborhood to go and visit that were spot on if it was your 1st to your 50th time being in San Diego. We just tried to do the same sort of trip in the Hill country of Texas and it was an absolute nightmare comparatively. Not only on value cause this place is an excellent value. But also because these house rock and some house can just be absolutely horrendous. Definitely give stay classy homes in San Diego a try not only for their value, their being excellent hosts, but also because their properties rock! 10 out of 10 for this company!

Austen and Dani were so accommodating and welcoming, and took care of all of our needs quickly and completely. Denise, the owner, is so quick to respond to any email communication, and so very helpful. Ocean Beach, fondly known as "OB" offers so much, from Sunset Cliffs, shopping, easy walking, and such beauty. We love finding dinner at the Wednesday evening Farmers' Market, walking two blocks to the ocean from our cottage, and shopping downtown on Newport Avenue. It's great, not to mention unusual, to have a safe and secure parking spot off street, but BHC offers just that. And 20-30 minutes away by car: San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Coronado Island, Torrey Pines, Shelter Island, Little Italy, Gaslamp District, and more. We have already booked for next year!

My wife and I self-managed bookings when we got started, but after Cardo took over our net income increased, even after paying their fees. Rich has also been particularly helpful in solving some serious problems. We had a maintenance issue while a guest was staying during the height of the pandemic and we were out of town traveling. Rich stuck with it and saw it through to it's full resolution. Highly recommended!

We stayed in the Mission Gorge area in late May - early June 2026. The house was as pictured and…read morewas clean and tidy. It was fairly well stocked - with plenty of towels and all the tools we needed in the kitchen. We really appreciated the hot tub - a great spot at the end of the day or for coffee in the morning. Cardo provided all relevant information in a timely manner. It was a much more affordable and comfortable option for 5 of us in town to visit family. There were a few subtle ways you could tell this is a "corporate" owner, but overall, the house was perfect for our visit!

It may not be the most updated hotel on the boardwalk, but it has everything you need. The staff is always welcoming, the house keeping staff are friendly and trustworthy, the parking lot is gated and secured by a guard throughout the day, the rooms are always clean the grounds are well maintained, and after all the years of being loyal visitors, we have yet to experience anything negative at this property. I love that the grounds are secure and you can allow your children to go into the courtyard area and play the provided games with peace of mind- knowing that they'll be safe. They provide tons of outdoor seating options and grills for tenants, which makes cooking a breeze. In order to enter from the beach/boardwalk, you must have a room key to enter the premises- another awesome perk. This keeps all the riff-raft out of the area. &At night, they also require a room key to enter through the front of the building- which is a newer feature, and much appreciated. You can leave your beach toys & chairs outside your room without worrying about someone coming to steal it. We have locked our bikes up downstairs in the courtyard area & nobody messes with them. This is such a great place to stay & an amazing tradition that our family has. We look forward to our visit every May!
