Wedding Weekend Celebration
The property suited our large family, 14 in all. The kitchen/dining area provided a place for us to gather for morning coffee and evening games/cocktails. Patio was nice and the foliage lush. We enjoyed the rooster waking us each morning and exploring/getting lost while we made our way around the property which is close to lots of shopping, restaurants and the freeway. Thanks Dylan, for accommodating our group. Your prompt responses to our questions/requests were appreciated.

This property was perfect for my out of town family to come stay with us to celebrate my daughter’s graduation. Lots of space, the kitchen is a dream to cook in, and we loved the backyard!

Comfort for all
Our extended family of 15 just had a wonderful stay at this lovely house. We were delighted with the spaciousness and overall accommodations: Bedrooms in 4 different areas, so lots of privacy, but also plenty of room in the kitchen, living room, and back patio for togetherness time. The grill and fire pit were a real bonus as well. They made our last evening there very special.

Wonderful Oasis
We spent a wonderful week, staying at Paradise Palms. The backyard oasis is 5 star, and we loved the location close to the Carlsbad beaches. The kitchen is fully equipped and Dylan is a fabulously responsive host. The only issue was a persistent musty smell on the bottom level, where 3 of the 6 bedrooms are…the smell did not abate with the new central air conditioning, and opening windows/doors. The source of this musty smell needs to be found and remedied for us to return to this unique property.

Great for Family Get Togethers
We stayed at this lovely VRBO for our son's wedding in Fallbrook. Dylan is the most responsive and caring host we've experienced. The property is located in a secluded street yet close to stores and restaurants. The outdoor spaces are perfect for relaxation and fun times. There is also a large outdoor BBQ, but we did not have a chance to use it. We did have a fun time playing table tennis in the separate building outdoor. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware, utensils and plates/dishes. The dining area can facilitate a large gathering. There are multiple large screen TVs with access to Netflix and Disney channels which was a huge hit with our toddlers. Having bedrooms on three levels helps to provide privacy during nap times and evenings. We will most certainly stay here again!

Beautiful Unforgettable Hidden Gem!
I was looking for a place to have a very intimate immersive gathering with some friends and family and I felt so thankful to have found Paradise Palms! Dylan is a fantastic communicator and so friendly, he really made everything so easy for our time there. The property is so beautiful, it really is a palm paradise! Everything was so clean, the kitchen well stocked, and every bedroom is spacious. The beds were so comfortable, and the house felt cozy even with it’s spacious size. The backyard is gorgeous! We spent most of our time outside. Overall, it was a really beautiful and unforgettable time. We will definitely be booking again. You will love your stay here!

Best house for large families!
It’s hard to find a place that can sleep 13 adults comfortably without feeling on top of each other, Dylan’s house was perfect for our group! So much room and we were able to still have privacy. Loved the backyard the most and used it a lot when we were home. Would totally book again!

About the host

Hosted by Dylan Walsh

Host profile image
Hello there,

I'm Dylan, and I've been fortunate to call San Diego my home for the past 28 years, with a few delightful detours along the way.

Embracing diversity and forging connections with people from all walks of life has been a personal passion. It's this very love for cultural exchange that led me to become a full-time Airbnb host. I'm thrilled to open my space to fellow travelers and offer a warm, welcoming abode.

My heart finds solace in the waters, and I'm an avid enthusiast of water sports – paddle boarding, snorkeling, and surfing are my kind of adventure. Travel is not just a word; it's a way of life. With explorations spanning the United States and twenty other countries, my soul is forever touched by the beauty of our world.

Anticipation is mutual as I look forward to connecting with you. My aim is to ensure your stay is not only comfortable but etched with joyful memories. Let my team or me know if you have any inquiries – we're here to make your experience unforgettable.

Warmest wishes,

Dylan

What makes this property unique

Devotion knows no bounds when it comes to perfecting our property for our remarkable guests.

Our journey began in 2019 when we welcomed this exquisite home into our care, and since then, we've poured thousands of hours into crafting a haven that exceeds expectations.

Witness the evolution: a game room, a media room, and an intricately designed custom outdoor lighting project that beautifully illuminates the majesty of 30 Palm Trees and the unique landscaping that has been nurtured and refined through dedication and years of growth.

We're thrilled, truly thrilled, for you to embrace the sheer splendor that Paradise Palms Retreat unfolds. Your experience is a testament to our commitment to crafting a stay beyond compare.

With utmost excitement,

Dylan
