We had a wonderful stay here for our family reunion! Our cabin consisted of two buildings, with two apartments in each building. Each family had their own private room and bathroom, which was very convenient for our large group.Everything was clean and comfortable, and there were plenty of dishes and everything we needed. We especially enjoyed having breakfast and dinner together on the balcony — it was a wonderful place for our family to spend time together.The parking was also very convenient. For a large family or group, this is a great option. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again!

What a lovely way to bring your family together. We're so glad the layout gave each family their own private space while still making it easy to gather, and that the balcony became the heart of your reunion for meals together. It's great to hear everything was clean, well-stocked, and that parking was simple for a group your size. Thank you for choosing our home for such a special occasion, and we would love to welcome your family back again.

Units were great, stay was easy and smooth, all amenities were provided for and had no complaints. If deciding to bring rental cars, the left side parking is on an uneven incline that can potentially scrape the bottom of your car so be mindful of that.

Glad to hear the stay went smoothly from start to finish — that's always the goal. We're happy the units delivered and that the amenities covered everything you needed. Thanks, too, for the heads-up about the parking incline; that's genuinely useful for future guests, and we've passed it along to our team. We'd love to welcome you back anytime.

Friend reunion

There were 12 of us that have been 2nd family since 2011 we meet every year for a reunion. The lodging was perfect for our group we all had our space but we had plenty of room to cook and be together. It was clean and updated, easy access to the airport and train we had people fly in from Texas, Arizona and No Cal. The host was very responsive and helpful.

Private enough, but still there together!

Our business team stayed three nights here during a conference we attended in Chula Vista. The space was perfect. Everyone felt they had their own privacy with a door to their room, but we were still able to enjoy the balconies and living rooms as an entire team. We had 20 team members show up to this event and we made memories we'll never forget. The accommodations were perfect - we loved the availability and communication with the hosts, but we also greatly appreciated never feeling like they intruded in any way! A

Great place for a family reunion!

We had a reunion here with 8 families (including 5 babies) and the space worked out really well! The complex itself has a locked gate so we were able to go to each other's apartments very easily. The apartments did vary in terms of cleanliness and we could tell that some of the rooms in a few of the apartments hadn't been used in a while as they had a little musty-ness to them. However we communicated this to the host and they were responsive to our requests which was great -- ended up being fine for our weekend stay! Would stay here again for the convenience and amenities.

Perfect and Fantastic for 4 families and friends

We were here during late March for spring break. It was our family of 4 and 3 other families. Going in - and trust me the description doesn’t do it justice - we had no idea of how perfect it would be. It turned out to be the best arrangement we could have hoped forThe place is essentially 4 independent units in a lot that is gated. The common area makes it perfect for early more gatherings before heading out. Each unit was very clean and well appointed. There is thoughtful touches throughout and care had been taken to clean the place and make it ready. It was evident from the attention to detail. The beds were very comfortable and there was just space enough to unpack you suitcase and put your clothes in the closet for the stay. The host was super responsive and they were in constant communication via text. We had 0 issues in trying to reach them And it would be remiss if I did not mention the views of the airport and city. Evening times are spectacular. Overall we had a fantastic time and if you are a family with friends needing 4 units - this is perfect!!!

Our company rented out this property while attending a conference.

The location and accommodations were perfect for our purposes. Kitchen is well equipped and there was plenty of space for us to meet, work, and get together in the evenings to bbq on the patios. The only drawback for us was that the internet was quite slow. Again, we were here for work. For people visiting the area and not needing to use internet for work the property is ideal.

Excellent location and setting

We were very happy with our stay. Easy to get to all the activities/places our active family and friends wanted to access. Well appointed condos and great to share the deck when we all got together simultaneously. Easy parking and good communication with property manager. Use of keypads was really a benefit to avoid having to keep track of keys. Appreciated extra trash liners, bbq, and full kitchen equipment since we cooked a lot. High marks for our stay!
