The property was amazing and Gene made sure we had everything we needed. We were in town for my son’s wedding, and the property allowed us space to connect with family that was in town and have a gorgeous place to get ready and stay together. I would definitely recommend and stay again!
It was one of the most beautiful and best kept property I have ever been to! My family and I came to stay to attend our son’s wedding and we were able to enjoy a staining place that kept my family together throughout our stay. The house was ultra clean, well kept, with every amenities you can think of: from the pool, and outdoor entertainment to the inside of the house accommodations. The owner is on another side is the property and made himself available 24/7. Such a memorable experience that I would come back to again… for certain!! I use rental properties all over the country this one was by far the most positive experience I’ve ever had! Thank you Gene, keep taking pride of your beautiful home!
The property was awesome, and our host Eugene could not have been nicer and accommodating. We were in Temecula for a wedding, and needed some flexibility in time of arrival and checkin, as well as when we would be around to enjoy the pool and spa. Eugene was very flexible and willing to help. We were staying during the World Cup and are big fans, there are TVs everywhere (8), including outside, didn’t miss any action while enjoying the amenities. My grandkids especially enjoyed playing soccer under the lights! Great property and host.
