Amazing week at this beautiful property! Gorgeous views and every outdoor activity you could ever want!Great floor-plan with comfortable space for all of our family members. House was meticulously clean and well equipped with everything for our stay. Location of the home was super convenient to everything in the Escondido and San Diego area. The hosts were super organized and helpful from beginning to end. We would absolutely return to this fabulous home!!!
This stay was incredible. We had a wonderful time. The home was extremely well equipped and directions were very clear on how everything worked. When we arrived everything was very clean and ready for the week of fun! They truly thought of everything when creating such a fun family-centered vacation spot! The view of the reservoir and surrounding mountains was so pretty, the pool and mini golf and basketball court was a huge hit with the kids and we enjoyed meals on the patio every day. There was plenty of space and more than enough things for everyone to enjoy! We had a hard time convincing ourselves to leave the house to hit the beach! Will hopefully return someday. Thanks for a fantastic stay!
Our multi-generational family had a wonderful time at this beautiful property! Everything was spotless, organized and fully equipped! The pool, jacuzzi, fire pit, basketball court, game room and all outdoor amenities were amazing! The host was welcoming and responsive. It was perfect for our extended family of 14. I would highly recommend!!
This VRBO is the best place we have stayed at. Everything from the home, basketball court, pool/jacuzzi were all so great. I would recommend everyone stay here if they are in the San Diego/Escondido area!
Our family had a great stay. Clean and comfortable inside with lots of space but the outside is where we spent most of our time. Activities galore kept both adults and kids happy! We’d book again without thought.
The house was all that was advertised. So many amenities, everyone had a great time. Management was very responsive on any requests. We really enjoyed our stay!
Our time at this beautiful house was just what my family needed for a fun time together. Kids loved the heated pool, basketball court and game room. The house was beautifully equipped, clean and the hosts were great so work with. Would love to stay here again!!! Highly recommended.
This is a great upscale property for a family event with members of all ages. The property management team is very communicative and helpful. Lots to do on the property and plenty of space to spread out. Highly recommended.
Perfect from start to finish. Host was easy to reach and followed through with anything needed, Property is easy to use ( great instructions) , fun, private, large grounds, great amenities and atmosphere. The kitchen is stocked with every appliance large and small.
Property was perfect, lots of room for kids to run and play. Very clean. Mo was extremely fast at responding any time we contacted him. Very easy to get in touch with him. Had a great time. Would recommend!
This is the best house we have rented for our children and grandchildren. There were 15 of us, we had plenty of space. The home was clean, and has every essential you will need. The kitchen is well stocked, lots of games, we didn't want to leave. Will definitely be back!
We had our family reunion here with age range between 6 months and 70 years. It was a perfect place with lots of relaxing seating and hot tub for adults, game courts, arcade and pool for teenagers and play-n-packs, cribs and high chairs for our two youngest grandchildren. Since we were such a large group, the kitchen and two large tables were perfect for family meals. The location provided beautiful views from several areas. It was also fairly close to airport, SeaWorld, the zoo and beaches.I can't say enough good things about this property and would strongly recommend it to large family groups. Thank you so much.
The house was perfect for our extended family get together of 14 people. There is an amazing amount of activities to do from the pool to the basketball court to the game room and more. There is something for everyone at this property and our family had a fantastic time. The host, Mo, is incredibly responsive and everything in the house is in great shape. We could not have picked a better property! The location was great for going to the beach, the Safari Park, and downtown San Diego.
The property was very clean and ready for family fun. It took a day to become fully comfortable with spa/pool controls and A/C use, but all functioned accordingly. Plenty of areas to spread out when needed, but also most areas were large enough to accommodate all guests at once.
Plenty of retail nearby but you still have a very rural setting at the house.
Had the best time enjoying our family with the fabulous pool, corn hole, fire pit, pool table and full size basketball court with lowering hoops!
Rooms and beds were clean and comfortable and communal areas spacious. Kitchen fully stocked with extra refrig!! There were two pack and plays as well.
If youre looking for a place for fun for all ages without having to leave., this is it!
Great property for family. Many things to do for all ages. Nice improvements with the fake grass and hanging chairs.
May want to consider new pool blow up toys though. Most in the pool box dont stay blown up. FYI a new chair in a box arrived while we were there. We brought it in and its by the front door.
This was hands-down the best short-term rental I've ever done. The house is even better than the pictures suggest. It's super spacious (we stayed with 9 adults and 5 kids 3 and under).
There is so much to do that you don't have to leave the house if you don't want to. We had the pool heated and it was just perfect. Once you're in, you almost don't want to get out.
I appreciated that the hosts took exceptional care of everything. Everything is clearly labeled, instructions provided, working and sets are complete.
The kids loved the pool, the grass patch outside and of course the game room. We had to drag them out of there :)
Escondido is a perfect location with big stores close and we had Whole Foods delivered a few times. Nice shops in downtown Escondido as well.
The Safari Park was less than a 15min drive and we got memberships and went about 4 times in 2 weeks.
Absolutely perfect and this is the first time that I'm thinking of coming back to a rental.
The property and the home were wonderful! Mo was always quick to respond and easy to work with! I agree with the other reviewers on the many great features. I wanted to tell a few of the small, but really nice, touches in the home. The kitchen was huge and had an abundance of cabinets and drawers. This home is the first home we've stayed in that actually labeled each cabinet and drawer. The kitchen was so well stocked with cookware, utensils, dishes, spices, etc, that the labels were very appreciated! The landscaping was filled with gorgeous succulent plants in colors that were amazing. Every bathroom shower had large Pantene shampoo and conditioner, also shower gel. The beds were comfy! My skin is sensitive, so I always have to pack my own sheets, but I definitely didn't need them. The sheets on all of the beds were heavenly soft. Lots of nice little touches!!
