| I was part of a English/American reunion of 9 adults and 4 children at Hawk Street Hacienda. The house was ideal for this type of get togther. It was located very near to many tourist attractions, but was also wonderful for those who wanted to relax in comfort by the pool all day. I would recommend it to any group. The fittings and furnishings are all top quality, the rooms are spacious, the pool and spa are fantastic, and Mark was wondeful to work with. I hope to visit again. |

| We had our first family reunion at this gorgeous house. The house was perfect for entertaining my entire family with a great kitchen, pool and spa, and enough bedrooms and bathrooms to accomodate us all. When we did feel the need to leave we were just a few short miles to many activities such as the beach, bay, Seaworld, the zoo, grocery stores, the airport, downtown, and shopping. We had a great time reconnecting as a family in this fabulous home and plan to do it again! |

| We had the most pleasant stay at the Hawk Street Hacienda. The pictures only begin to show the best about this house. Our party of 10 enjoyed all of the amenities. The layout of the house flowed nicely from the kitchen into the family room and out to the pool. The backyard is simply amazing and was enjoyed by all. The location is conveniently located for freeway access, the airport or the beach. The owner, Mark, is very easy to work with and answered all of our questions promptly. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone. |

| Our "mini" family reunion with 10 folks (2 children) was a huge success due mostly to the wonderful "Hawk" house. It was a perfect location for getting around San Diego. The pool, barbecue, and deck were perfect for our family. Thank you Mark. |

The house was perfect and exactly what we were hoping for. It is centrally located which made it easy to get to everything in San Diego. There is plenty of room in the house for a large group. We had a great time and would love to come back! We also really appreciated all the little amenities in the house to accomodate kids and small children. It made the house that much more comfortable for us to have a crib, high chair and even a baby gate to help us relax. Thank you so much we would highly recommend this vacation home to anyone, it will live up to your expectations!

We were a group of 8 attending a convention at the San Diego Convention Center, and we had wuch a good time.
The house is huge, lots of space for everybody. And the backyard... a little paradise, with the pool, the hot tub and the BBQ.
We would definitely return there anytime! |

We were very pessimistic about renting this property since we had never done this before. We had nothing to fear. The place is beautiful. It has everything thing you need. It felt like a home away from home. Mark was amazing. My son called him to ask a few question the 2nd day we were there and he came down personally to help.
The kitchen cupboards are full of all kinds of sauces and spices. This was the most enjoyable vacation we have had ever.My 2 grand daughters loved the house. We were there for a business convention and the little kept on saying, let's go back to Mark's home. I highlt recommend this property. If we go back to San Diego, this is difinitely the place we would stay.The view is fantastic. The pool and the hot tub with the water fall is very relaxing. Thanks Mark for letting us use your home.

We enjoyed our stay very much, and the house was beautiful and very functional
for our large family. Our Teens loved the jacuzzi! Being so close to the
freeway and Little Italy was also wonderful. In 10 minutes or less we could be
where we wanted to go =]. |

| We had a group of 5 adults staying at the Hawk Street Hacienda, and this was simply the most beautiful house I've ever vacationed in. The views from the balcony are amazing - both of downtown and the Pacific ocean. The bedrooms are very spacious, and the master bedroom is just exquisite. We spent a lot of time in the large open kitchen, just a great place to hang out where you can see everything. Of course the pool & jacuzzi were fantastic as well, and the night lighting in the pool + waterfall is absolutely relaxing. Everything we needed was already provided - We are definitely coming back next year Mark, viva la Hawk Street Hacienda! |

| We had a group of ten adults that got together for a reunion in San Diego. The house was absolutely perfect. We made use of the BBQ grill and kitchen almost every night. It was also very easy to get to everthing that SD has to offer. Highly recommended. |

| The house was absolutely wonderful! You wouldn't believe such a lovely home lay behind all of that beautiful landscaping. The entire family loved it and had the best vacation EVER!! The most loved feature was that of the jacuzzi and pool. The changing lights and waterfall made it all the more exciting. There was plenty of room for all so no fighting for a bed which was very pleasant. The kitchen was being used all of the time also-- no eating out was necessary. Every one of us had an awesome time and didn't want to leave!! We hope to return sometime in the near future. Thank you for everything!!!! |

| Wow! From the initial entrance I knew my family would enjoy staying at Hawk St. Hacienda. The gorgeous balcony views of downtown San Diego, the ocean, and the cliffs of Point Loma provided a visual and stunning landscape outside the rental property, however, the views from within the house were just as magnificent. The secluded landscaping, large pool/hot tub, large open kitchen (we only dined out ONCE!) and overall breezy layout of the house complimented our vacation with nothing but superb and luxurious amenities. Thanks for providing such a wonderful and hospitable place to stay while enjoying the company of those I love most. I'm looking forward to reserving for next year! |

We stayed in this home last weekend and it was AMAZING. The pool/jacuzzi are great...the waterfall and changing colored lights in the pool are beautiful at night. Speaking of night, the view off of the master bedroom is gorgeous at night - you can see downtown all lit up. BBQ / Bar area outside is great for day time entertaining too. Cab fare to downtown or to the train station is $10 with tip!
Bathrooms are large, rooms are comfy/clean and the kitchen has everything you need (including spices). You will get lost in this house - it took us a day to get the layout straight! There's definitely room to get "lost" if you want or plenty of room to gather as a group in the comfy living room with the L shaped couch and flat screen television. Everything you want in a vacation home. We didn't want to leave! Excellent Excellent Excellent VRBO home!

Dear Mark,
When you said "you won't want to leave"- you were right. My family ABSOLUTELY LOVED YOUR HOME! This was our first experience renting from a homeowner and you made it so pleasant we don't think we'll ever stay in a hotel again. Your home was all that you describe on the website and more... we could not have been more impressed with the gorgeous backyard oasis. We couldn't get the kids out of the pool! In fact we canceled a few of our planned sightseeing trips and just stayed at the house- saved us a lot of money on waterpark tickets and much safer than the ocean :-) Thanks again for making our vacation so wonderful and we hope to make this an annual event. See you next year... J |

| Wanted to let you know that we had a great time at your home in San Diego this past week. The photos looked great in the ads, and we were worried that it wouldn't live up to how it looked online. However, the place was great. We loved the decor, we loved the pool (especially our kids loved the pool; adults loved the hot tub and pool), and we loved the location - it was remarkably close to everything. Would definitely stay here again if we return to San Diego (which we will). |

Mark, We were late returning (plane canceled) or I would have written sooner. The house worked out great for us! Everyone had a wonderful time together and the pool was excellent. The children loved it and the rafts were just terrific. The dryer was constantly going as our beach towels never got a chance to dry. I think there were plenty of dishes, glasses, etc. The grill was also great, need a new brush perhaps. The top bunk bed could use a siderail to prevent a child from rolling off. Nice touch to have some children's books there. You have done a very nice job decorating. The house was so convenient to every where we were going. Hope everything was left o'k and we are welcome to return. Beverly
