We had a wonderful stay! The home was pristine, comfortable, and conveniently located near our local family. Some of our favorite memories were the endless hours spent together in the game room and pool. We’re so grateful to have found this beautiful property and look forward to booking it again on our next trip!

Great place with all you need to have a great time

The house is exactly what you see in the pictures, the pool oasis is outstanding and the game room— my kids where super excited when we opened the door. There is everything you need for outside games, pickleball, beach toys and inside too, extra towels, sheets and blankets!! It was truly a ‘home’ experience.I would 100 % rent the bird house again!

Getaway Staycation

The home was perfect for two sisters and four teenagers to meet and stay. There was an activity for everyone to do especially on a rainy day. No one was bored and we didn’t have to spend money on “outside” entertainment. It was the perfect accommodation and location. Thanks tons.

Wonderful Nest in Lakeside

We really appreciated the attention to detail at The Birdhouse. There were all sorts of helpful gadgets, appliances, pantry items, beach towels, and really thoughtful design and decor throughout. We loved the back yard and especially the spa after long days out and about. The game room was really fun too. The layout really worked for our group, which included two tweens. Everyone found a nook that suited them. I like to bird so having the county park directly behind the house was great. We spent most days sightseeing; downtown San Diego was always an easy 30-40 mins away, even in rush hour. Lakeside itself is fairly quiet but has multiple grocery and restaurant options. Sarai’s Taco Shop was a surprise hit.The check in/check out process was super easy. We messaged Ryan with a few questions and he responded in just a few minutes every time. We would absolutely stay here again!

Oh my goodness!!! Perfection!

I wanted a pool all to ourselves for the 4th of July… we found that and so much more! We had a pool, spa that lit up at night! A fire pit to keep warm and make s’mores! Bbq well that’s obvious! A game room for when the kiddos wanted a break from the sun. It was stocked with air hockey, foosball table, darts… you name it and it was in there!! And that was just the outside and game room! Inside the house was beautiful. I don’t think there was even a corner over looked in planning. Comfy couches, lots of space to hangout. Kitchen was super clean and ready to use! Bathrooms were beautifully decorated and great water pressure! Beds were all really comfy! They even had extra towels for the pool in case we forgot ours! Communication was fantastic! They were literally a text message away, and always responded promptly! Which made checking in and out a breeze! I couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend my birthday!!! Just perfect!!

Too old for tablets

For a short business trip we stayed at the Birdhouse. The location was convenient for the local airport. The pool and spa,when heated, were great. The house had everything we needed and was comfortable.

Hi, thanks for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed our rental and all its wonderful amenities! Seems like your only negative feedback was the "smart" features like a Digital Guide (which is a large tablet on the wall with detailed information on absolutely everything you need to know) and an iPad for heating the pool and spa. Unfortunately, paper guides are now obsolete and learning basic technology is just a necessity in this world! We try to make everything as seamless and simple as possible for those who aren't considered very "techy", but we appreciate your feedback. Take care! -Vacation Rentals by Aaron
