Our Family Trip was amazing. Your home is centrally located to the areas we wanted to visit We had all the amenities that the host promised. There was great response to any questions with promptness. There was adequate space for my entire family (7)
The house was very comfortable for our extended family vacation and central to all activities. Also, the beds were very comfortable and having ceiling fans was wonderful.
Came to bring our Marine home and we were so lucky to find this home. There was a space for everyone and it felt like our home away from home. The few things we had pop up were swiftly dealt with by the property manager in an expedient and courteous manner. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.
This property was a great place to stay. We enjoyed ourselves. It was just right for all of us during the celebration of our son's wedding. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, providing clear instructions for check-in and even assisting when we needed to find something or had trouble with something.
Our family of 9 had a blast in your awesome home! They enjoyed all the games and the huge pool! Everyone slept well in your comfy beds. Your home was well equipped for all that we needed to have a nice family staycation. We enjoyed gathering in so many areas of the home with ample seating. We would love to return some day.
We loved the pool and hot tub! The house is cozy and comfortable with plenty of room for our group of 8 adults and two children. The backyard is truly amazing!
The house was very comfortable and the pool and Jacuzzi were amazing. A nice way to relax and unwind after a day of amusement parks.Enjoyed all the games for the kiddos to keep them entertained while we were at home.The house was very comfortable, extremely clean and had many amenities all the way down to the pool towels. Would highly recommend!
This property was awesome for our week vacation stay with family!
Every need was met, communication was excellent& location was perfect.
We loved all of the outside area as much as the inside area! Lots of room for all of us to enjoy the use of this wonderful property!
Our family had such a great time staying here. Honeslty if you ask the kids what the best part of our vacation was, they would say hanging out at the house and enjoying the backyard! The pool, hot tub, and game room was a HUGE hit!
Nice time ..unfortunately i had to pay 125 a day to heat pool, should be an option to include those extra amenities

Response from VrboOwner on 9 May 2025
Thanks for staying with us. Appreciate the feedback. Pool heat we are super transparent about. It will always be an optional cost. Everything is included in our listing. Appreciate you staying with us.
The beds were comfortable. The hot tub was a perfect temperature. The owners provided nice linens and towels, and we were especially pleased at the supply of beach towels. This house worked great for a big family gathering!
We had a family reunion/vacation. Did daily activities in San Diego and then spent the afternoons/evenings playing and resting at the house. The house was perfect for us. Everyone had a bed (which were super comfortable), the kids loved the pool, the adults loved the hot tub. The kitchen was well stocked and labeled which made everything easy to find. The host was super responsive and made us feel right at home. I would highly recommend this house for a great Southern Cali vacation!
The house was great, clean and beautiful! The host was very responsive with all questions and easy to communicate with. Everyone loved their stay and couldn’t have been happier with the house and it’s many amenities!
This house is exactly as described. Perfect home for family reunions, and retreats. It’s comfortable, well appointed, and easy. Communication with the owner was clear and accommodating.
Would stay here again in the future.
