We loved our stay on the yacht! The beds were extremely comfortable as well as several places to lounge and relax. The hosts were extremely flexible with checking in. They accommodated our every need. The marina was very peaceful. Fun, unique, place to stay in San Diego.

Fantastic Time!

Highly recommend for an interesting kind of VRBO rental that is as comfortable as it is fun and rejuvenating. The yacht has everything you need for an enjoyable stay and you won't want to leave when your time is up! Elizabeth and Tim are fantastic hosts - personable and professional and they handle everything from start to finish. Sunbathe, swim, kayak, fish or do nothing and just relax. Beds are comfortable, bathroom are fully equipped. Can't say enough positive about this 'property'.

Great San Diego Getaway

Me and my two adult children stayed on the West Star Yacht and had a great time. The yacht itself is very clean and well stocked with everything you need and the amenities at the dock were easy to access and we had an awesome time! We look forward to doing it again in the future.

Stay on a yacht!

We had a wonderfully peaceful stay on the West Star in the San Diego area. The accommodations were exactly as expected. Well cared for and appropriately appointed. The marina itself was lovely. Just such a pleasant environment to spend a peaceful stay. Communication with the hosts was excellent. They made it so easy and efficient. We would definitely do it all over again. If you’ve never stayed on or spent any time on a yacht, this is a unique opportunity. Well worth it. Highly recommended!!!
