Great Family Vacation!!

Date of Stay: 11/23/11
Review Submitted: 12/01/11
Great house!!! Our family of 19....(Basically all adults and a 3 year old) spent an extended weekend here over Thanksgiving. Ideal location for enjoying the beach or getting on the freeway to go play. The pool/ hot tub were great, beds were comfy, plenty of bathrooms, and we Enjoyed most of the comforts of our own home. Cindy was so good to work with. She was accomodating w our requests and great with communication. Loved the city of Carlsbad and all it had to offer, as well. Thanks and see you next time:)

This house made the most wonderful setting for our family reunion. We were nine people staying in the house with many guests coming and going. The spacious open floor plan worked wonderfully well for our large group. We especially enjoyed the beautiful backyard with the pool and hottub. Very lovely!

Family Stay for Son's Wedding in Fallbrook

The house worked out very well for our family. Plenty of room and with 4 pre-school age children and one toddler, the pool/hot tub worked out great. The kids had so much fun playing in the pool and hot tub. For what cooking we did the kitchen worked out good, no complaints. Who cares if the dishes don't match--we were there on vacation not entertaining anyone. For having no air conditioning the house stayed cool and comfortable. I had no complaints on our stay and would stay in the house again in a hearbeat. Thanks, Cyndi, for letting us rent the house. It was definitely a good time :)

We recently stayed there in April 2011 and loved it. The house was perfect. We were a group of 12 and had plenty of room and everyone had a great time. Cyndi is awesome to work with. Would highly recommend this property. The hot tub was enjoyed by all. The pictures you see are exactly what you get. Property was very clean as well as the surrounding neighborhood.

Review Submitted: 05/12/10
Our family experience was not what we expected or viewed in the pictures. Home was beautiful from the outside (front/back) however the inside showed very differently. Beds were by far just marginal along with the bedding/towels which showed a lot of wear/tear. Kitchen very poorly appointed with a mix-match of plates, pots/pan, limited glasses and general kitchen accessories. Had to call the manager to get a working iron and an air bed that did not have a hole in it. The backyard provided a lovely setting, plenty of chairs and picnic table, however there was not a single pool toy that did not have a hole in it and the BBQ required cleaning. The property was extremely convenient to the freeway and downtown Carlsbad, plenty of places to eat. Home is located on a busy street so our children needed supervision if out front and the garage that is mentioned was locked and not available, parking was limited in the evenings as most is on street parking, during the day there was no issues. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this property if you are used to the nicer end of what VRBO has to offer.
Owner response:The interior of the home is exactly as pictured in our 16 photos - fun, beautiful, and comfortable! (See our other reviews.) We periodically replace items that have been worn or broken by our guests, and recently purchased a new BBQ, new set of Farberware pots/pans, and new kitchen glasses. The kitchen is very well supplied with a large variety of kitchen utensils, knives and appliances. Since this review, our cleaning service has been instructed to also check the BBQ cleanliness and pool toy box. The garage was temporarily unavailable that weekend, but is now open. It offers 3 spaces, plus 4 spaces available in the driveway, and lots of street parking. This guest had a huge party at the house, with many many more cars than our usual guests would have. Perhaps she was upset that we charged her for the broken glasses found poking out of their trash bags.

Fabulous Location for Women's Retreat
Guest: Jessawhy
(Mesa, AZ)
Date of Stay: 04/08/10
Review Submitted: 04/13/10
I organized a women's church retreat for about 20 women over 3 nights in April 2010. We had to double up with beds and use air mattresses and couches, but there was plenty of room for this. The master suite has two walk-in closets each big enough for a queen air mattress. We had 6 people in the master suite alone. The photos were great, you can't tell from the photos that the kitchen opens up to the family room, which was wonderful. The pool and spa were great, but the grassy area seemed smaller than I expected from the photo. Overall, the home was better than I expected from the photos. We had room for a yoga session for 8 on the back patio. The beach was a little further than I had imagined, about a 10 min walk, but still not bad. It was clean and beautiful and very easy to find. There were plenty of sheets and towels for the group, as well as almost all of the kitchen supplies we needed. There was even an extra twin mattress that we hadn't been counting on, which was wonderful. We're very pleased that we stayed at this rental. I had so many questions for Cyndi and she was very helpful. If our group doesn't grow very much, we will probably return here next year.
