The house was amazing. So many things to do for our kids. The backyard has everyrhing you could want to do for a family. The hosts got back to me right away on any questions i had! We will definitely be staying here again in the future
The property has lots of room inside and out. Our family kept quite busy with all the fun things to do on the property, which included putting on the putting green, swimming, soccer, air hockey, and ping pong. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes and utensils; we cooked almost every meal there during our stay of 7 nights. The beds are comfortable. The bathrooms are clean and spacious.
Had a great time. Great location, pool and amenities are incredible! Easy comm’s with property management. We had everything we needed to make our meals either inside or on the BBQ. Rooms where great 3 Kings and 2 Queen beds.
Stayed here for 3 days with my family (2 children, ages 11 & 13. Beautiful home and area, lots of things to do here as you can see in the pictures. We had a lot of fun using all the amenities and games. Owners respond very quickly, check in/out was seamless. Very spacious, would definitely come back again!
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
This was an excellent place for our family gathering. Plenty of space and activities to keep everyone entertained. Our host was quick to respond to our needs and we were Harvey happy with the hot tub and pool temperature. We highly recommend staying here for large families.
Check in was clear and easy. The house itself was amazing: so many fun things to do, from the game room to the pool to the putting green outside. Everything was clean and lots of space so a perfect place for several families with kids to stay. Only drawback was the one time I reached out to the host during our stay to ask where beach towels were, I never heard back. But after our stay, the host was quick to help about a lost ring. So overall, a great experience.
The home was perfect for our family. There was always something for the kids to do and plenty of room for the adults to relax and enjoy each other
The only negative was the size of the downstairs bedroom & bath, which we had to occupy because my husband couldn’t do the stairs.
House is very nice and spacious. The outside is awesome with so much to do. Even though are weather was in the 60s during the week, having a heated pool didn’t stop grandkids from swimming.
Great stay for vacation, didn't have no problems with host. Easy to communicate with and gives you all the information you need for your stay. House was great for are stay, was scared cause of comments i seen but had no problems at all with any of what they said. Made are vacation better.

Hi Julio thanks for the 5 star review. We always listen to the feedback and have max lots of improvements. So happy you enjoyed your stay.
We came from Illinois to have our wedding in La Jolla, and rented this home to stay for the week. The house is stocked with most everything you’d need for your stay. Such a beautiful home and the pictures of the backyard don’t do it any justice. Would stay here again.
We loved our stay! The house and property we wonderful. The fire pit and grill worked great! Would love to return. So many fun things to do at the house. Also, it was well stocked with everyday items like spices, oil, coffee etc... Beds and linens were nice and there were loads of Pool towels. The property owner was very responsive.
Plenty of things for adults and/or children to do. Anything and everything at your fingertips to prepare your meals. It was a worry free vacation with a home atmosphere. Definitely would like to do it again some time. The owner was very quick contacting you back for any question you might have.
Perfect location and close to many attractions. House, pool, yard and rooms are all that is needed when booking for family groups. Plenty of room and plenty of things to do without leaving the house. House could use some major updates and a good cleaning. Other then that it was a great stay.
Mo was very easy to work with. Communication was prompt and easy to understand. The backyard was fantastic and well kept with lots to entertain the kids. I do think the home needs some TLC, from dusting to mopping the floors. We would have been glad to mop if the tools had been there to do so (including a functioning broom). With a 11 month old baby crawling on the floors, it quickly became apparent that they had not been cleaned in a while. This is my only small complaint.
We had a group of 8 adults and 2 kids. Beds were comfy and the home had everything we needed. Our group utilized all the amenities over our stay. The game room was a hit as were the outdoor activity areas. Still lots of relaxing space for those who only wanted to chill. Super comfortable couches and chairs… and the massage chair needed a sign up sheet! lol. We didn’t cook much (grilled cheese for the kids only) so I can not comment on the kitchen much except to say that it served us nicely. Hosts were responsive and helpful and we found no issues Overall, we’d book here again!
Our family loved this house! So much to do here. The pool and hot tub were such a hit! There is so much outside and inside seating which made it so comfortable for quality family time and meals. We also enjoyed the firepit and volleyball court. The game room in the garage and tv's inside were particularly nice to use during the property's outside quiet hours. It is about 30 minutes to San Diego where we enjoyed Sea World and beaches. The kitchen is well stocked with nice appliances. The grill outside worked great too. They have stocked the house with nice shampoo, conditioner and laundry supplies not just cheap stuff which we appreciated. The beds were comfy (not so much the futons for adults) and we had about the right amount sleepy spaces for our group of 10 adults and 4 kids (all under 8 yrs old) as well as a baby. The hosts are super responsive and kind if there are any issues. One of our kids started quietly crying on our drive home and when asked what was wrong he said, "I want to go back to the vacation house. It was SO much fun!"
The bedding was worn out and scratchy, pillows very flat. Our room had so much furniture packed in it we could barely get into bed. The outdoor furniture was torn and covered on mildew. Several of the faucets were on reverse which we figured out when we scalded ourselves in the shower. It could be a lovely place if it was kept up better.

Hi Antonine,
Thank you for your feedback. We do wish these concerns had been brought to our attention during your stay so we could have addressed them immediately.
We installed brand new outdoor furniture just one day prior to your arrival, so we were surprised by that comment. We will also review the bedding and pillows to ensure everything meets our standards, as guest comfort is very important to us.
We understand there was significant frustration regarding the optional pool heat fee. However, this is clearly disclosed in multiple places in our listing prior to booking. We do want to note that concerns raised after this issue arose were not mentioned earlier in the stay, which makes them difficult to address in real time.
We remain committed to transparency and maintaining a high-quality experience for all of our guests.
Best,
Mo
