Our Family Trip was amazing. Your home is centrally located to the areas we wanted to visit We had all the amenities that the host promised. There was great response to any questions with promptness. There was adequate space for my entire family (7)
We loved the pool and hot tub! The house is cozy and comfortable with plenty of room for our group of 8 adults and two children. The backyard is truly amazing!
This property was awesome for our week vacation stay with family!
Every need was met, communication was excellent& location was perfect.
We loved all of the outside area as much as the inside area! Lots of room for all of us to enjoy the use of this wonderful property!
The house was great, clean and beautiful! The host was very responsive with all questions and easy to communicate with. Everyone loved their stay and couldn’t have been happier with the house and it’s many amenities!
This house is exactly as described. Perfect home for family reunions, and retreats. It’s comfortable, well appointed, and easy. Communication with the owner was clear and accommodating.
Would stay here again in the future.
We had an absolute wonderful time with family staying here. The home was very clean and well put together. Full stocked kitchen for cooking, game room for the kids, and a wonderful outside patio with pool and spa. The host, Mo , was amazing with communication and making sure everything was well taken care of. I would HIGHLY recommend this place.
After a year of many family losses and diagnoses, it was important to gather the family for togetherness and support. We could not have picked a better place. The Kids/Grandkids enjoyed all the home had to offer. Property manager was understanding and accommodating. Nice house and location, fun for all.
This is a beautiful property that was ideal for its proximity to the Escondido wedding venue where our family member was getting married. I contacted the host about some dirty kitchen items that we had to clean in order to use rhe kitchen. They were very apologetic and indicated that they would address it with their cleaning staff. We also noted that the dryer is slow to dry items. All other items were wonderful and helped us have an exceptional experience in Escondido for the week.
This property accommodated our family of 13 for the week very comfortably. The house was clean, checkin and out super easy and had everything we needed for the week. The outdoor space is so amazing. The outdoor pool and hot tub were loved by the grandkids. There were enough pool towels for everyone! The adults enjoyed nights by the fire pit. The beds were comfy so everyone was able to get a good nights rest and be ready to go the next day. The location was within 30 minutes of anywhere we wanted to adventure to.
We would definitely stay again.
My grown children, their spouses, four grandchildren and I thoroughly enjoyed the spacious, clean, kid-friendly, well-stocked and beautiful home for our mini-vacation and family wedding. The five bedrooms were perfect for our individual members/couples including the bunk room for the cousins. We appreciated the several safety gates, highchair, and plastic dishes for the little ones as well as the pack-n-play crib and box of toys. We were so busy visiting San Diego's zoo and safari we really did not get to utilize the game room. Although we only used the hot tub on a weekend afternoon for about an hour, as well as the unheated pool, the kids and one brave adult loved both. Our only issue was garbage left in the kitchen cans when we arrived, but we felt this was a simple oversight. Aside from that one tiny snag, our stay was truly delightful. I would highly recommend this property as it really met all our needs and the communication with the owner was easy and efficient.
We had a big group of kids. We really enjoyed cooking for the whole family and eating outside and enjoying everyone’s company. Everything was great except the following:
No music allowed at the pool. ???
No one allowed outside past 9pm. Cops came to the door because we were talking by the fire pit. Which contradicts the use of the fire pit. The sun went down at 8pm.
The house was very comfortable for our extended family vacation and central to all activities. Also, the beds were very comfortable and having ceiling fans was wonderful.
Came to bring our Marine home and we were so lucky to find this home. There was a space for everyone and it felt like our home away from home. The few things we had pop up were swiftly dealt with by the property manager in an expedient and courteous manner. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.
This property was a great place to stay. We enjoyed ourselves. It was just right for all of us during the celebration of our son's wedding. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, providing clear instructions for check-in and even assisting when we needed to find something or had trouble with something.
Our family of 9 had a blast in your awesome home! They enjoyed all the games and the huge pool! Everyone slept well in your comfy beds. Your home was well equipped for all that we needed to have a nice family staycation. We enjoyed gathering in so many areas of the home with ample seating. We would love to return some day.
The house was very comfortable and the pool and Jacuzzi were amazing. A nice way to relax and unwind after a day of amusement parks.Enjoyed all the games for the kiddos to keep them entertained while we were at home.The house was very comfortable, extremely clean and had many amenities all the way down to the pool towels. Would highly recommend!
Our family had such a great time staying here. Honeslty if you ask the kids what the best part of our vacation was, they would say hanging out at the house and enjoying the backyard! The pool, hot tub, and game room was a HUGE hit!
