Peaceful, Safe, & Clean
We are always torn between hotels and rentals when traveling. Finding a place that is truly as descibed for both is always half chance. That being said, we are more than happy to report that everything about this rental is spot on accurate. The host delivers what is promised. For us the location was perfect. We tend to prefer a safe and calm retreat after a crazy day on the busy coast. The neighborhood is safe, quiet, and provides a beautiful view of the coast. The house is very clean, in good condition, and to us perfectly sized for a couple. We saw no bugs, no mold, no questionable surfaces or linens, and no weird smells. It actually smelled clean when walking in. Everything inside is very organized and in good condition, including all appliances. The outdoor area is also very well maintained. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful!
Beautiful home. Clean, safe, secure, quiet neighborhood, full of every amenity we needed for a family vacation that made us feel right at home even while away from home. Host responded to our needs immediately. And, special thanks for the beach chairs, towels and beach bag being available so we didn't have to worry about packing those items. We made some special family memories on this trip and staying at this beautiful home was a big part of it.

Terrific unit
My wife and I stayed for three nights. Everything was perfect. The place was spotless. It was large enough to allow me to get up early, make coffee (provided by the host), and watch the morning news without disturbing my wife who was still sleeping. It was very easy to get from the unit to all the places we were going. We highly recommend it!

Thank you for my stay at your beautifully decorated and perfectly maintained guest house. I was under the weather for part of my time in CA, and thus spent unanticipated time resting and recovering- almost a delight in the silence and coziness of your guest home. Gratitude!

A nice stay
Needs a new mattress. Kitchen could use some more place settings. There isn't a comfortable place to sit and watch TV. And the Host accused us of breaking a glass door panel that was broken when we got there. Spoiled the whole stay
Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Oct 2022
Please take a look at all the other reviews for our property, and decide for yourself what is true. People repeatedly ask us for the type of mattress we have so they can get the same one, they find it that comfortable. The kitchen has brand new settings. There are brand new chairs and couch in the living room. This person broke a sliding door glass and didn’t want to take responsibility, we have the evidence reported by 2 people. We gave him a courtesy call to not charge him for damages because we understand that things sometimes happen but he flat out lied.

Beautiful Casita
The casita is beautiful and thoughtfully laid out. It is in a great location with One Paseo nearby for lunch/dinner and central to North or South County. Lina was amazing with communication and wants her tenants to have a great experience. Lastly, the casita is extremely clean and neat! No second thoughts on putting my or my family’s heads there.

This is a lovely home. It is quiet, comfortable, beautiful, and located in a great neighborhood. The location worked out nicely for my husband and me, as we did quite a bit of bicycling and were able to do a number of our rides right from the house. Other activities and attractions were convenient as well within a short drive. Lina is friendly and helpful and was always very prompt in communication. We hope to return!

JUST LIKE HOME
This was the best vacation lodging experience my wife and I have ever had. The home is less than a year old. It was designed by the same architect who built the owners main house. The fit and finish of the counter-tops, the faucets, the floors, the shower, the kitchen, the bathroom, the windows, the blinds, are what you would install if you were building a million dollar home (multi-million dollar in California). This home is outfitted with high end LG appliances in the kitchen and a high end LG washer and dryer stack in the master bathroom. It is equipped with high quality utensils, cookware, coffee machine, bedding, furniture, and soap and shampoos. The owners are wonderful, warm and amazing people. This is the type of home that you would build for yourself or for house guests that you truly loved. Whenever we are in the San Diego area, we will definitely stay here if it is available. BRAVO!

John, it truly warms my heart to know that you guys enjoyed the house so much! My husband and I personally designed the house as if it were to be our home one day and I am so happy that our labor of love has come across so well to suit you. It really was a pleasure hosting you guys and would love to have the opportunity to do so again in the near future. Best wishes!!

A Gem!
Just finished an awesome stay in a brand new "gem" in Carmel Valley, just minutes away from Del Mar. Perfect for a couple or a family of 3 or 4, on a quiet street on a small hill with a sunset view over the ocean. The owners live on the same property so totally safe but with total privacy, in a separate stand alone home. I can't say enough about the owners -- they were so hospitable and kind. Miss them already! We will definitely be staying there again!
