Beauty Surrounds Us
It was a a wonderful family vacation. On drawback was the difficulty of using the bath in the master suite. It was not comfortable and dangerous to those over eighty.

A Dream Wedding Week Retreat - Almost Perfect!
I had the joy of hosting my bridal party at this mesmerizing VRBO property for our wedding week. The experience was exceptional, though I'd like to share a couple of minor points. The property's allure is undeniable, with breathtaking views and an enchanting atmosphere that made our celebrations magical. However, the guesthouse had some dustiness upon arrival, and lacking a bathroom was slightly inconvenient. A quick pre-guest cleaning and considering bathroom facilities would enhance the stay. Considering our party of ten, a few more bath towels would have elevated comfort. Each guest having two towels would be wonderful. Lastly, the sliding doors in the main house were a bit tricky, causing some amusing struggles. This could be improved for future guests. Despite these tiny hiccups, our stay was captivating. I'd rate the property a 9/10 for its beauty and ambiance. With minor adjustments, it could easily be perfect. I'd gladly return and recommend it to anyone seeking an enchanting escape.

Family get together with our Marine
It was perfect. Beds were very comfy and lots of room for everyone. The pool and bbq area were exactly what we were hoping for. The proprty feels secluded and allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Was also close to grocery stores and restaurants. The gift basket was a wonderful touch with a nice bottle of wine. We will be back!

Host profile image
Hi I'm Addy! both my wife Affie and I fell in love with Temecula wine country years ago and always wanted to live in this wonderful part of Southern California. We love to travel and explore all the wonderful culture and food this world has to offer. Fallbrook is a hidden gem that encapsulates classic Southern California living.

Why they chose this property

This property is the most unique in all of Fallbrook. It's truly built from the ground up to be a nature focused retreat, with many exotic plants and trees, stone paved pathways, Midcentury architecture and an amazing history. Come and experience the Emerald Bungalow as it's a gem!

What makes this property unique

The pool is so large, they don't make them this big anymore. The view from the back porch is of the awe inspiring boulder covered mountain range. Fallbrook enjoys a micro-climate similar to Tuscany and it's more green and lush than surrounding cities. Enjoy the ocean breeze everyday while being completely immersed with exotic plantlife.
