Great location - clean, comfortable house
We were pleased with this property. It was a very convenient location - close to restaurants and shopping and I-15. The house was comfortable and well supplied. We loved the fruit trees and fresh-squeezed orange juice!

We really enjoyed our one-month stay at this property in North County SD. The house is very clean and comfortable, and spacious enough for my family. Excellent updated kitchen and fun yard with bbq for the kids.

Great home for your family with kids
We had a great time at the house. They have all you need feel like at home, just need to add a blender to the kitchen. All was very clean, felt like in a hotel. We enjoyed the oranges, my kids also loved the butterflies and hummingbirds in the backyard, and a rabbit friend.

Very nice get away
This home was a special treat for us. My son loved the gas fireplace. I loved the convenience of the kitchen and proximity to Albertsons. The family loved the fact that it was centrally located between Legoland and the San Diego Safari Park. The fruit trees were a bonus! I would highly recommend it!

Perfect for families!
This home was perfect for a family of 4. Plenty of space, kitchen was stocked, comfortable beds (even the sofa bed was comfortable). The patio area with grill is beautiful! Having fresh squeezed orange juice each morning was a bonus. Very comfortable and Greta was very accommodating. Highly recommend!

Stay in Escondido
We were in San Diego area to both vacation and visit my daughter who was interning during the summer. The house is located about 30 miles north of downtown San Diego, but access is easy via the freeways. We were in the house for 9 nights and enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed for our stay was at the house, and the accommodations were good. We especially enjoyed the fresh oranges from the orange trees for morning orange juice! As the property descriptions indicate the cost is lower so you can spend more of your money doing things in San Diego, and that's exactly what we did. I recommend this house for families visiting San Diego.

Nice house
Very clean and well stocked. Great location close to I-15 freeway. A little noise from outside front, but very quiet inside the house. Great communication with host. Oranges are delicious! Great stay!

Clean, comfortable, and great location.
Stayed at this conveniently-located, fenced-in, ranch house for a month and loved it. Greta provided everything one could wish for and graciously answered all our questions. The orange, pineapple and lemon trees were a real bonus. Thank you!!!

Great for kids and cooking!
We stayed here with kids over the Thanksgiving Holiday, and really enjoyed it!!! The oranges weren't quite ripe, but we found a few that were "ripe enough" for our kiddos to get a chance to juice them, and they really enjoyed that. We were also able to make our pies, stuffing and other sides to take to our Thanksgiving dinner (elsewhere). Beds were very comfortable with pillows of all different stuffing levels to meet our individual tastes. This very well may become the place we stay when visiting family from now on. Thank you!

This was a perfect alternative to a hotel for our family.
If we ever vacation again in southern California we will definitely try to book this property. The orange trees were awesome and we had fresh squeezed juice every morning.

Spacious with nice yard but freeway noise and maintenance needs
Except for renovated bathrooms, the house and furnishings feel tired. Large sunny yard with citrus trees which offered oranges for delicious juice every morning.

Fabulous
We have just returned from a 2 week stay in this lovely house. The location is fabulous with easy access to San Diego, Los Angeles and the Ocean Beaches. Lots of great places to eat nearby and less than 10 minutes to the Westfield Mall which greatly pleased our teenage daughter! The house itself is cosy, comfortable and extremely well equipped - a real home from home. We especially enjoyed our daily fresh juice made from the oranges in the garden. Highly recommended, we would definitely return.

A Hidden Gem in San Diego area
We stayed during the World Junior golf championship. It's an easy drive to the golf course, as well as the beaches. The house lacks of nothing, well maintained with a beautiful backyard of orange trees. Picking up oranges from the trees is one of my daughter's favorite memory. Gretta is the best! She is effective with the communication. We left a package in the house when checkout, and she mailed it to us within days! We'd love to return in the future.

Second stay!
I returned to Ryan's home for the second time this year after a fantastic stay in 2013. It has been yet another memorable stay, place still standing absolutely stunning and so well taken care. I cannot be more luckier. My kids had a great stay and looking forward to make a return in 2015! Thanks Ryan.
