I have been coming to Bluebird Cottage for 5 years. The place is immaculate and decorated so wonderfully. The kitchen has everything you need and the bed is super comfortable. The linens are the best! The area is so nice to explore and hiking just out the back door. I highly recommend this beautiful cottage. Allen and Marie are the best hosts- always there for anything you need.

Attention to detail in the cottage and all the needed household supplies were appreciated. We enjoyed the beautiful property and the surrounding open space with trails nearby. Lovely, quiet neighborhood away from city noise and traffic, but close to shopping and services.

Where do we begin this was such a special experience for my husband and I. Alan and Marie make the check in process is so simple. The hosts are so amazing and make you you feel right at home. My favorite part of our stay was waking up and sitting out back with a cup of coffee enjoying the nature, and their gorgeous property. The cottage is stocked with everything you would ever need to cook with too. I highly recommend close to the beaches, stores, and a great place to get away and really vacation!

Wonderful cottage

Marie and Allen have a delightfully decorated cottage, a real home away from home. The location is quiet and peaceful, yet only a few minutes away from access to some of San Diego’s best attractions: beaches, wineries, and wildlife park.

Spectacular Hideaway

My third trip to this great little getaway and I am always impressed with the ambiance, cleanliness and comfort. Marie and Allen think of everything. The area has so much to offer- great hikes, great food and close to so many small beach towns to explore. Will come back next year for my solo new years trip.

Romantic getaway

Allen and Marie have such a beautiful property. It was so peaceful and serene. Just far enough away from the beach to enjoy the tranquil sights and sounds of nature. We love it and plan to return.

Cute little cottage

Allen and Marie are excellent hosts. We were in Vista for a wedding in San Marcos and this was not only in a perfect location, but also affordable. The cottage is a perfect size for 2.

Charming and comfortable

The Bluebird Cottage provided a wonderful place for us to stay while in town visiting family. Everything about the cottage is exactly as it is described, including a fully stocked kitchen complete with farm fresh eggs! The hospitality of the hosts is unmatched. We're looking forward to staying at the cottage on future visits.

Perfect Retreat!

My sister and I had the most amazing time at Bluebird Cottage. Marie and Allen were the perfect hosts, providing everything we needed--and then some! The location is lovely and quiet and it was the perfect place for a much needed retreat from regular life. Thank you, Marie and Allen!!!

Perfect Stay, for a little get away!

I had a fantastic stay at this charming property! From the warm welcome upon arrival to the serene atmosphere, everything was perfect. The cottage is beautifully appointed with all the essentials and then some—perfect for both work and relaxation. If you're into hiking, definitely bring your shoes, as the surrounding trails are a must-explore. I came for business but would absolutely return for a retreat. Highly recommended!"

It was great

Loved how friendly and helpful the host was. The cottage was adorable and the perfect size for the two of us. We were in the area for a wedding and the venue was only 5 miles away. It was perfect.
