Family Thanksgiving 2023
Our extended family came together to spend a few days over the Thanksgiving holiday spent at this property. Overall, we were pleased with our stay as it accommodated most of our needs - with some caveat. When we arrived during our check-in time, it quickly became clear that the online listing details were not accurate: small things that quickly become big things like connecting Wi-Fi - especially in an area where service is spotty. A big reason our family picked this property was for the kitchen which would provide ample space for us to prepare Thanksgiving meal - only for us to find out the oven was nonfunctional. Also, the property listing called out the availability of an extra fridge in the garage - which was not the case. Communication with the host/property manager was a one-way street - multiple attempts to get a hold of them with no luck. This is unacceptable when you're in the service/hospitality business. It's funny that they were very proactive in reminding me when payments were due for our stay. Again, for the most part, we had a pleasant stay making memories and the best of what we had to work with. But, when you spend upwards of $8K for a 3-night stay, service, communication, and most expectations should be met. And if we didn't want an oven that worked, we could've stayed at a local Residence Inn.

Activities for the whole family
The property included many activities for our family to enjoy. The property provides plenty of space between the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, and especially outdoors. Unfortunately, the internet was down for the majority of our trip. Typically, this would not be an issue for us, but the location has little to no cell service for Verizon. We were unable to watch any TV or movies since all of their TVs require internet connection. Instructions were provided to heat the jacuzzi ahead of check-in, but again, internet was required so the pool system was completely offline. The property manager did not offer an apology and was not proactive about these issues. There was no warning that we would not have wifi/internet or any compensation offered to us for the issues. We weren’t able to use our baby monitor since it requires internet and if we had known ahead of time, we could have brought a different monitor. When I asked the property manager how to turn on the jacuzzi on site, he provided the pool guy’s phone number instead of figuring it out for us. Of course, the pool guy did not answer because he was busy. Once we told the property manager the pool guy did not answer, he texted us the instructions. The property manager showed up unannounced within 30 minutes of our check out time. It was alarming and we have not encountered anything like this with vacation rentals. It was just odd behavior since we were cleaning up and going to leave prior to 10am.

Better Than The Photos
This house is exactly how it looks in the listing and more...usually not the case with rentals! They had everything you could want during your stay, anticipating your every need. The house is so comfortable and accommodating. It's really quiet; we were very relaxed! There was also so much to do on the property, even in bad weather. This was the best experience I've had in a rental house, and I've rented at least 20. The hosts are also very kind. It's a beautiful area of California. Highly recommend this home!

A Rare Gem
The perfect place for a multigenerational family reunion. Our family of 17 felt relaxed from the moment we stepped through the door. From the pool to the hot tub, the trampoline to the pool table, the basketball court to the putting green, we never even had to leave the property to stay entertained. We feel lucky to have discovered such a wonderful place to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Large and homey
A family of 16 from San Diego and Hawaii felt completely at home. The kids that ranged from 3 to 10 were never bored - from the pool, the playground, the trampoline, and basketball park. We were greeted with a welcome sign and some treats. The entire property was cleaned well. We loved our stay and appreciated Matt’s quick responses to all our inquiries prior to our arrival. Upon our departure, we all agreed our stay would be hard to beat. Thank you for allowing my family come together. We’ve made such great memories.

Just as described. Exceeded all expectations
The property was beyond what we were expecting. Sometimes on-line pictures look better than what you fine when you arrive, not this property. Our family comprised of 2 seniors, 6 additional adults, 2 young men in their early 20's and 3 small children 6-9 years old. One of the primary objectives in finding a family vacation home was to be able to enjoy the on-site recreational amenities, this home exceeded that objective for all members of our family; pool, spa, slide, diving board, putting green, inground trampoline, cornhole, pool table and numerous quiet outdoor and indoor locations to sit read or nap. The other objective was to be close to activites available in the San Diego area. This property was perfect for access to the beach, zoo, wild animal park, sea world, and inter-city resturants and bars. We were close to everything that San Diego provides without being to close to the crowds. The home was very nice and provided everything we needed to feel at home. Matthew was very helpful from the time I booked the home to even communicating with me on our last day. Matthew is the type of person that understand how to deliver exceptional service. I would stay at this home again. Thanks Matthew.

Awesome Family Retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed this property where we spent 4 days with kids and grandkids. It really has everything needed for a great family get together. The pool area really sets it apart with a diving board, slide, hot tub, top quality furniture and a great covered bar/outdoor kitchen. This is truly a 5 star property and one of the best we have rented.

Fabulous family vacation home
Our family of 6 adults and 5 children, ages 8-15, had one of the best reunions ever. The amenities were even better than expected especially the pool with diving board, slide, and spa, and the trampoline. Add some friendly basketball or miniature golf We recommend excursions to Elfin park and Del Mar Beach and then returning to dinner together on the outside patio dining table.. Matthew is an attentive host and responded to a glitch we had with the dishwasher and some missing soap.. He also checked in on us from time to time. There was plenty of space for everyone, and the layout of the house encouraged both large and small groups to get together. The pool table had almost constant use. We ended the vacation with a photo shoot just outside the front door with the palm trees in the background. We all have special memories of the Spring Break of the ages. I hope we can return.

Memories galore
After a two year wait to gather the family we couldn't have picked a more perfect location. It was indeed a children's paradise with so many outside activities for them to do --wonderful pool with slide and diving board (but far enough away from main home so wouldn't worry too much about children wandering into that space without adult supervision), putting green, trampoline, basketball hoop, swing set. . . Not to mention the hot tub, outdoor tikki bar be cue bar area and indoor pool table for adult enjoyment. The home provided more than ample space for everyone ---great bedroom area with comfortable beds and linens, multiple bathrooms, great kitchen and various options for seating indoors.. The additional separate guest house was a huge asset for tired, but thankful grandparents to escape to and recap the day plus it provided needed work space for those who had to "check in" remotely on their jobs during the day. All in all, couldn't have asked for a more perfect home to accommodate eight grandchildren, their parents and blessed grandparents.

Family Oasis
Thank you for having this fantastic home for rent! Just a few minutes to the beach! A few more minutes to area attractions! We did Sea World, Zoo and Legoland. Our son got to play Torrey Pines golf course! That was his highlight ⛳️! Our grandkids ranged from 2 to 9 and everyone had something fun to do when we were home!! Owner was awesome and consistently making sure we were good!! The only suggestion I would recommend is bigger bowls and fry pans. But kitchen was stocked well!! I did donate a few kitchen towels for the next guest!! 2 just weren’t enough for our crew that eats paper towels🤷‍♀️ I think! If you’re planning a trip to San Diego with several people (we were 13) book this private oasis. You will be delighted you did!! Thank you Matthew for helping our family create a memory ☀️ that will last a lifetime 💛 and it would be an honor to book again!!!!
