Top San Diego Zoo Safari Park Hotel Reviews

Perched on a Hillside: Amazing Views w/Pool & Spa!

10/10 Excellent

"House was clean and nicely maintained. The yard area (grass) was a bit smaller that it looked in pictures, but still workable. Our entire party enjoyed the stay"

Luxury Retreat w/Views: Putting Green/Game Room/Infinity Pool & More!

10/10 Excellent

"The home was very clean, large rooms and comfortable beds. With the amenities (pool, hot tub, putting greens, game room and bocce ball area) it felt like a resort. The hosts, Mo and Zeina, were easy to work with. This is the first VRBO home of many that I've stayed that had coffee, cream and sugar waiting for us as well as foil, plastic wrap, laundry supplies, shampoo, cream rinse and body wash on site. We never traveled more than 45 minutes to any of the places we wanted to visit (SeaWorld, Legoland, San Diego Zoo, San Diego Safari, Fleet Science Center) and with traffic, we felt that was a very reasonable time. It is a lovely home and certainly recommended by us."

Breathtaking retreat in the wine country on the ranch with goats you can pet!

10/10 Excellent

"Our trip to San Diego was made so much better by the experience of staying in this property. My girlfriend loves kittens, goats, and dogs and this property has all three. We had an issue logging into my account on the way to San Diego due to an unexpected hack so I had to create a new account just to contact the host. She called me immediately and made the check-in smooth and easy despite the challenges. The view is even better in person. And their recommendation for local food spots was so great that we ate at the same place both of our nights there (local winery right down the street)."

VILLA ESCONDIDO stunning one of a kind luxury suite with views and a pool

10/10 Excellent

"Visited family locally, accommodation was very comfortable and convenient for us. Would highly recommend it. Not forgetting a lovely host, too."

Stunning 3 bedroom with Pool/Hot Tub/Game Room

10/10 Excellent

Luxury Nature Estate w/ 3 Homes, Salt Pool, Jacuzzi. Retreats, Intimate Weddings

10/10 Excellent

Peaceful new Tiny Home on farm, steps to wineries!

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect spot for couples! The tiny home was stocked with anything and everything you could ever need. We loved our stay!"

Private 2 bedroom apt in new craftsman ranch!

10/10 Excellent

"Charming place , very quiet and private. It was easy to communicate with the host. The place was clean , plenty of parking and surrounded by fruit trees."

Bandy Canyon Ranch

10/10 Excellent

"Great secluded spot. Limited staff but not really needed, close to wineries. Bring your own food and drink and a good book."
