Casa De Norte: Tranquil Oasis w Saltwater Pool & Spa

-Poolside pergola offers a relaxing spot to enjoy the shaded outdoors & is accessible via 3 sunroom, master & bunk bedrooms (Sunroom equipped w/ door chimes & bedroom also has childproof deadbolt to prevent unsupervised access to pool).
-If you’d rather soak up some sun there’s 2 loungers ready for relaxing along with a dining table & umbrella for an al fresco lunch.
-Grab a book from the game room bookshelves & head out to the Queen bedroom hammock (one of our favorite spots) to enjoy a nap surrounded by the hillside & bird song.
-Binge se of your favorite shows from the sunroom soda while easily keeping an eye & ear on those in the pool via many patio doors/windows. The Roku (sunroom TV) or Prime Stick (Bedroom) make it easy to sign into your streaming accounts or home cable network.

*Pool towels are provided & the pergola coffee table holds a revolving selection of children's toys, arm floats, etc.

----NOTE----
*Door alarms are installed on bunk & sunroom patio doors to help prevent littles from accessing pool area without supervision (may be manually switch these off). There is also a child safety lock for the front door. In addition the bunk room patio door had a deadbolt system that requires unique un-locking procedure unlikely to be accomplished by children.

Casa De Norte
The house, although a little dated was well equipped for a great family vacation. Our grandkids loved the pool. The house is located close to Walmart, Target and Stater Bros making groceries easy to pick up. Jessica and Justin were quick to help with a couple of questions. Loved that everything labeled and notes around the house to explain how to use things. It took the guess work finding the way things worked. Thanks for a great Holiday Home

Visiting Family In Escondido
I stayed here with my wife, mom, aunt, and 2 year old son. The layout of the home was really great for my family, and the safety alarms on the doors were super helpful for my young child. The rooms were comfortable and clean, overall a success. The pool was expensive to heat (we stayed in October) but it was really lovely. Views from the deck were great, an awesome outside hangout. We stocked up on bottled water and foods. There are some random leftovers from prior guests. It was convenient to where we were visiting family members, but was an expensive stay.

Great place to relax!
Stayed at the property while our daughter recovered from surgery. The pool area and sunroom are great places to relax as a family and we felt very at home during the stay. The owners were very easy to communicate with and even dropped by to give us the lighter for the fire pit after we could not locate one in the house.

Great place to escape the Phoenix heat. Very clean. Had everything we needed. Pool was great. Our only complaint was the nest thermostat. We like it cool and it kept resetting to a temp that was too hot us. Overall excellent place. We would definitely book again.

Had such a great stay at this beautiful property. The pool and hot tub are almost too good to be true, well at least for a Midwesterner (great temperature!) Hosts were kind and communicative. Easy to travel to neighboring beaches, SD, etc.

The perfect place for us to relax and explore
We stayed here for 4 nights. It was really clean and in wonderful shape. You can tell that our hosts thought of everything they could to make our stay enjoyable, from an easy check-in process, to a video on how to use the spa, to a roku for streaming movies on the tv. We had 4 adults, 2 of which were over 70. We had 3 kids that were 3, 5, and 7. Our stay wasn't during the warmest week, so we did pay to add-on the heated pool which worked great. The pool was a little deeper than I expected, but our kids can swim pretty well so it wasn't a problem. We ended up spending a couple days in the pool and venturing out to San Diego on one of the days—which was just a short drive away. I'd definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to relax outside and visit surrounding venues.

Attentive owners and beautiful home
Our family trip started poorly with sick kids which happened to run through the family. The owners of the home were very attentive and accommodating and allowed for early check in, due to one child having gotten sick on the plane ride. The owners live next door so they also dropped off supplies such as soup, pedialyte, etc. to help! The owners were also VERY helpful and went over the top again when my husband forgot an important backpack on the property and the owner personally helped ensure the backpack was picked up by an Uber on our last day to be delivered at the airport with us. On to the house. We vacationed with my family of 5, my parents, and my brother and we felt the layout worked perfectly for our group. We very much enjoyed the pool and the hot tub! We were worried that the deep pool would be too cold in March to swim but it was quite nice and the kids spent every day in it! We would definitely rent this home again if we find ourselves in the area!

Hidden Gem
We stayed for five days to take our grands to SD for spring break. Check in was so easy and Justin, owner, was readily available when needed. Although he lives next door we never felt ‘spied’ on and were very comfortable in the house. The pool and spa were wonderful, the view at any time of the day/night was fantastic. There are so many outside areas to enjoy with patio doors all around the house! Beds are comfortable, pool table was great and we played almost every evening with the grands. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this home was for us. The location is about 30-40 minutes from SD entertainment which was fine for us especially being able to return to the spa, pool, etc. We hope to stay again on our next trip! Thank you Justin for your hospitality and providing this great home to stay in.

Excellent Family Home
Jessica and Justin have covered all the bases when it comes to offerings for a family-friendly home. From toys, books, bathroom step stool, and kitchen-ware (high chair, kid spoons, tupperware, etc.), it was such a relief to have those things readily accessible. And their communication is stellar - super responsive and eager to help. Such a joy to stay at the home!

California Dreaming
We rented this lovely home for a Thanksgiving family reunion. It was pure bliss. Jessica was so helpful and informative. Walking into the house felt like instantly stepping into a tropical vacation. The outdoor area is perfect for entertaining. We watched the sunset every night. I was so pretty up on the hill. We cooked a large Thanksgiving meal in Casa Del Norte's amole kitchen. It had all we needed. The kids enjoyed the pool table immensely. All the bedrooms were very comfortable. We will be back next year!

A wonderful So Cal property
We were so pleased with our stay at Casa De Norte. The house was just as described and had everything we needed. The owners were extremely helpful during our stay and even took the time to come over and show us how to use the equipment for the pool and spa. While Vista is not a beach town, we found it easy to get to Carlsbad, Oceanside and other areas. I would recommend this property for anyone who is looking for a great family retreat.

Amazing time, would stay here again
We had a great time at Casa de Norte. The pool and hot tub were amazing and there were multiple places outside to relax between the pergola area, the fire pit, and the additional patio table. The house was very well maintained and very clean. We were there with our two children ages 7 and 10 who loved jumping in the pool. There was plenty of space to spread out and all the essentials were included. It was a little further out than we expected so we used the car a lot to visit beaches and check out beach towns.

A Little Oasis...
My husband and I had a lovely time at Casa De Norte. It was our first time to the San Diego area and we enjoyed ourselves! The pool and hot tub were great and there was no need to ask them to heat the pool as we were provided a couple of days of nice weather. The TV/Living room was cozy and the bed was comfy! We loved playing games and eating meals under the pergola. We also liked having the pool table as additional entertainment. The landscaping was beautiful to look at and we enjoyed watching a couple little lizards scurry around as well as listen to the birds sing. The surrounding neighborhood was a bit of a mix in regard to upkeep, but the property and house itself were very well kept up. Make sure to stop at the store to grab all essentials as complimentary soaps, laundry detergent, etc. is not included. Oceanside Pier was a fun afternoon trip only 20 Minutes away and Downtown SD a bit further around 40. Overall a lovely time. Excited to visit SD again one day.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

Host profile image
We remodeling what is now 'Casa De Norte' over the years as time & money allowed. When done it had become a special hideaway among our busy area of the world. Upon starting a new project we felt other pol might enjoy using CDN as home base & our rental journey began!

When we're not remodeling the house next door we're usually on another job site... Justin owns a termite company & Jessica works as a decorative finish painter.

Why they chose this property

Soaking in the salt-water spa while enjoying the stunning displays of color & beauty the sunsets bring to the hillside. One of my personal favorites is taking a nap in the hammock off the backside of the house surrounded by the hillside, birds, and butterflies - it feels so secluded it's hard to believe you're in a major metropolitan area.

What makes this property unique

-Salt-water pool and spa leave your skin baby soft while preventing the common swimsuit bleaching & eye sting that comes with other pools. burning eyes & bleached swimsuits.

-Sunset views across the hillside (especially in the fall and spring).

-Hillside location allowing for completely private hammock naps surrounding by singing birds and beauty.

-Sunroom's multiple patio doors, windows, and attached pergola. Making it convenient for watching littles in the pool without baking in the sun.
