Wonderful Place!!

There was 16 of us and we all had our own space. It was a perfect little getaway with the perfect property to stay at. Really no reason to leave as you have everything you need at the house. I would recommend to anyone that has a large group to stay at the house. It was absolutely perfect.

Perfect vacation house

We took our children, spouses and grandchildren to stay at this amazing house for a week. It was perfect for all ages from 4 to 68! The pirate ship pool was the biggest hit, but we enjoyed the tennis/pickleball courts, exercise room, putting green, movie theater and beautiful view. Randi, the property manager was incredibly helpful and always available to answer any questions. We had a wonderful week and made lots of great memories!!

Fantastic Family Vacation

This was a wonderful home for our large (18) family group, ranging from grandparents down to 2 month old. The pool is amazing, although you have to be careful with the slide (it was fast/fun but not for younger kids). Pickleball, ping pong, table shuffleboard, basketball, and the pool, pool, pool. We had an amazing week.

Amazing amenities at your personal resort !!!

The photos don't capture how amazing the Pirate House is. We were there for 4 days and did not leave. Our group (ages 8-74) used everything - and spent most of our time at the pool. The movie theater was also a hit - especially with the young ones. We just loved our time and highly recommend this incredible home.

A place that truly over delivers! We had an adult sleepover with several couples of hard-working professionals and parents. This piece of paradise is exactly what we all needed. Even with the rain, we were able to enjoy everything this true resort has to offer. The house, the space, the view, the amenities, the design, the cleanliness, the communication—all spectacular. Everyone was wowed and had a blast. Perfect way to celebrate my birthday :) Thank you!

A great location for entire family. Kids had their own water park experience. Tennis courts, basketball, putting green and the tv with Xbox games were a big hit. Loved the view and fresh air of open kitchen. Close proximity to walking trails, shopping and restaurants. 30 minutes from the ocean and close to the safari park zoo. Highly recommend if you want a fun vacation spot without ever having to leave. The home and space is both beautiful and functional.

Amazing property

What a great house! Bryan was easy to communicate with and the VIP Host Randi was also readily available during our stay for any questions. The property was very thoughtfully designed and extremely well kept. It really has everything!! The pirate ship pool was so much fun! The pool slide wasn’t quite toddler friendly haha, but boy did the older kid/adults enjoy it!! Thank you for a wonderful wknd.

Great team retreat getaway

The house, amenities and location were all amazing. Just expect to get noise complaints at 5 pm and 8 pm from neighbors about "loud voices" on the basketball court/ any outdoor activity. Was a bit extreme to threaten to kick us out early over loud voices when clearly the neighbors just don't like any outdoor noise at any hour.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Oct 2024
Hi Ashley, we appreciate your comments about the amenities being amazing and we're so happy you all had a wonderful time. The noise complaints from the very distant neighbors were not only about the constant loud yelling and screaming by over a dozen people, they were about loud blasting music all throughout the day and night that was beyond a reasonable amount of noise for a vacation rental (or really any home). The property manager called and very nicely asked you to tone it down several times, and only on the third time was it mentioned that VRBO was considering terminating the rental if it didn't get under control. This is a VRBO policy, and it is the same at every vacation rental. The house is virtually soundproof so loud music indoors would have been fine. Of course, a reasonable volume of outdoor music and noise while playing basketball, pickleball etc are always fine as well. Your group was just over the top with the noise. We really tried to work with you to make sure that it didn't turn into a bigger issue, and we're glad it didn't result in VRBO getting involved.

Incredible property and experience!

This property was incredible! More beautiful and surreal than in the photos and shocking to believe they had guests check out the same day we checked in because the main house, guest house and entire compound was spotless. It was a big group of us in town for a long weekend and had so much to keep us entertained at the house that we only left it for 1 evening. In addition to the beautiful property, Bryan (host) was incredibly kind and responsive long before our stay as well as during the stay. The instructions shared regarding how to access the property, how to use things around the property etc we're crystal clear as well. Amazing experience, thanks Bryan and team!

Amazing!

We rented the house to celebrate my 50th birthday with our closest friends and it was truly amazing! It is even better than the pictures. The view was breathtaking! We got up each morning and had our coffee on the outside patio and just enjoyed the view. We spent our days in the pool - all of us enjoying the waterslide and rope swing. The court was a hit with the teens playing tennis and pickleball. And Bryan was a great host! He provided us with referrals for a private chef, who was amazing. Our entire group LOVED the beds because they were so comfortable. We had a marvelous time and hope to come back again!!

Great spot for a large group

We had 10 guys in town for a golf weekend. There were plenty of beds for the entire crew. I would say that the bunk beds are really meant for kids. Given the proximity to Legoland, this is probably by design. There was also a game room and plenty of children's books and games. The kitchen was fantastic. Well appointed with everything we would want / need -- right down to spices. The coffee machine was amazing. So is the theater room. We watched a ton of NCAA March Madness. While there were TVs strategically placed throughout the house, we ended up in that theater room most nights. And, the ping pong table and shuffleboard saw some action as well. The property is large with a tremendous view down the valley. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended.

Pirate pool!

The house is as described and wonderful for our family of 6 adults and 4 kiddos under age 8. The pool was a huge hit. Plenty of room for everyone. Only the little ones used the tvs. The tvs did not work at first. Quick response from Bryan and Randi with some reprogramming solved the issue. Well stocked kitchen for our group. Lots of spices left over from previous guests as well as liqueur. I suggest you check in first before you buy items not needed. We are an active family and loved this house/pool/pickle ball/weight room. Just beware that those with mobility issues may have difficulty as there are long stairs from the pool to the house (little ones having to go potty!!!) We didn’t really mind.

Escondido reviewThis beautiful Escondido property is truly amazing—it's enjoyable, relaxing, and feels like paradise! We loved it so much that this was our family's second stay here. Our group of 17 ranged in age from 2 to 75, and there was always something fun for everyone to enjoy. We already can't wait to come back for a third visit!Pros: Everything! The incredible pirate-themed pool with the rope swing and BBQ area feels like having your own private resort. Our family also loved the basketball/tennis/pickleball court, and the grandkids even played a little baseball! The theater room was a cozy place to unwind after a busy day, and the Miele built-in coffee maker made every morning feel extra special. The home was exceptionally well stocked, and communication with Bryan and Randi was excellent from start to finish.Cons: We only had a few minor suggestions. It would be nice to have a bathroom near the pool area. Also, be warned—the slide is much faster than it looks! The huge walk-in closet is wonderful, but we would have loved a vanity in the spacious primary bathroom. One thing to note is that there is a 200 per day fee to heat the pool and spa. Even though the daytime temperatures were in the low 80s, we chose to heat the pool so our younger grandkids could enjoy it comfortably.Overall, this is the most incredible vacation home we've ever stayed in, and we wouldn't hesitate to return again. We highly recommend it!

Fabulous Family Vacation

Our family is 17 of us from small to big from 3 generations. Everyone enjoyed their time from morning until night. The swimming pool got highest usage; especially the jump from platform with rope swing into the water. The young kids enjoyed the sand pile and toys. The palapa over the swimming pool bar and cooking area was fabulous. Automatic coffee maker was cool as well. You will enjoy your stay here and get ready for lots of stairs on the hillside. Just fun!
