Hi Rhett - I had such a great time at the house, thanks so much. So we'll be back July 7-21st and i think it's $2100/wk so the rent is $4200? Is that correct? I'll mail the balance of the deposit for half the rent when I get back home. Thanks again for the use of your fantastic house! Dr. Charlene S.

Guest: Ron (Reading, PA)
Date of Stay: 08/08/10 Review Submitted: 09/08/10

We had our best vacation in years at Rhett's place. The house is very clean, comfortable, and in a perfect location. Sea world and the San Diego Zoo are an easy drive away, and the beach is two blocks and a flight of steps from the door. The neighborhood is quiet, but has easy access to the Pacific Coast Highway and I-5. There's a full kitchen if you want to cook, and plenty of restaurants nearby if you don't. The kids are already asking if we can come back next year. This is the first place I would look to stay when returning to the San Diego area. Thanks!!

Owner response:Hi, thank you for reviewing my house! I enjoy creating a wonderful, beautiful, and relaxing enviroment for the people that stay here! I always try to accomodate different peoples wishes, and request's if possible who stay here. It is a source of pride to me that people enjoy this home. My dogs enjoy playing with other people and kids as well! I have had people coming for years here from many different countries, who very much enjoy atmosphere here. My house, and Encinitas is a great place to visit!

Rhett, Thanks so much for the quick refund of our security deposit. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Encinitas. Your house was a great jumping off point for all our adventures. It made us feel like we were part of the local community. Our friends also thought the house was great. We debated our favorite art piece. I decided the bears catching salmon was my favorite. You need to add to your brochure that the house is a short walk to The Pannikin. My wife and daughter made daily pilgrimages for hot chocolate. My wife was also thrilled to meet your friend, Mike the potter. She bought a couple of pieces. She also posted some pictures of your house on her Facebook page. Some of her friends are supposed to be contacting you about staying at the house. The kids are already taking about needing to come down to Encinitas again next summer. I'll definitely be in touch. Thanks Again, Ted W.~ July, 2010

Hi Rhett, I just wanted to say thank you again! The rental had everything that we were looking for--close beach access, an awesome hot tub, and the ping pong and pool tables were an added bonus. It was a very comfortable space, and we enjoyed the artwork. Although we didn't use the pool, the waterfall was so relaxing to hear while sitting out on the patio. Have a great summer! Colleen D.

And Brownie and Gita are the nicest Jack Russells I've ever met! My slightly dog-shy girls were completely devoted to them by like day two. Thanks again; we hope to be back next summer!

Wow! Staying in Rhett’s Neptune Ave. vacation home was truly an “ultimate” southern California beach town experience! The location is awesome, steps from the beach stairs. All the homes on Neptune are ‘grand’, and Rhett’s is no exception. It has a mysterious, tropical paradise-like feel. I was totally relaxed and felt at home. The curvaceous swimming pool (Rhett told me it won an award) with its crystal rock waterfall glowing at night was a mind blower. Floating, looking up at the towering palms – I was in a fantasy realm. The furnished, bamboo enclosed porch was another great place to hang – and the kitchen was amazing. I love to cook, and I did! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. To have a vacation rental exceed my expectations was a real treat. Rhett was a gracious and accommodating host. Go for it!! Jonathan F. Winter 2008
