The experience was great. You were helpful in the booking processes when I had questions and very accommodating with the request for late checkout. The home is beautiful, very inviting and the view is wonderful. We rented the house with friends to enjoy a festive weekend away and we got exactly what we had hoped for and more, there was more than enough space and never felt like we were crowded on top of each other, it was very relaxing yet had enough to do at the house that we didnt leave the whole weekend!!! The experience was very nice and we hope to rent from you again in the warmer months and bring our family this time. Thank you for the use of your beautiful home.

The property is beautiful and well appointed. The listing description and photos are a true depiction of the property. It was my first time renting through vrbo and it was a great experience, thanks to the property owner, Mai. She was very prompt in responding to all my inquiries and I appreciated the fact that I was able to communicate with her via phone, text or email. I would definitely stay again if I'm ever in the area. The pool area is wonderful and the kids absolutely loved it, including the theatre room. Also, appreciated the prompt return of my security deposit. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Beautiful house and a great rental. We stayed for a weekend as we had a wedding in the area. The house met and exceeded our expectations. As we do a lot of home rentals it was nice to see a house that meets everything it was advertised to be and a smooth rental process. Would definitely rent again in the future.

We are from the UK and have stayed in Canyon Lake a few times, but not at this house before. We stayed at the house for 16 nights and It surpassed all of our expectations and allowed us room to have family over to visit during our stay. Its a large well presented house, with ideal facilities and a great location, trust me you will not find a better home for rent in Canyon Lake currently, great value for money.We made use of the Kyaks, pedal boat and also rented the Pontoon Boat which was excellent if you really want to take advantage of the lake. My kids and I spent a lot of time fishing right off the dock, you can actually see the fish(but that doesnt mean its an easy catch)!I found the owner Mai to be very accomodating and helpful before we booked and throughout our stay, nice house, nice honest people what more can I say....apart from we will be staying again.ThanksPaul

We had the most fantastic holiday based in this superb Canyon Lake waterfront home last August, so we are now looking to come back for more in 2010. This was perfect for our 2 families to come away together and stay in a single location, offering the space and range of facilities to keep everyone entertained yet not in each others face, know what I mean?

Owner response:Hi Graham, we would love to have you visit again. Mai

This is a beautiful property. The home and the views were amazing. Our family was celebrating a special birthday and we all totally enjoyed ourselves. The infinity pool, the design of the kitchen, the views, cleanliness, and decor lent itself to a fabulous time. Our family would recommend you book this home as a peaceful, relaxing vacation spot.

What a perfect vacation rental !. Stayed for a month with 3 kids that wouldn’t like to get back home. The house is big enough for 2 families, but still feels like a home. Owner is friendly and real minded for every need. Wake up to the best resort view one have ever seen in CA. So many good reasons to stay in house: Sailing the Pontoon around the lake, kayaking, hanging in the pool watching the boats go by, watching movies in the theatre room - which is amazing, bbqing, playing billiard, fishing, enjoying the spa - usually you should collect all those from 3-4 properties, and here is the one which has it all. Prior to our vacation we spent lots of time browsing vacation rentals. Traveling for a month with kids has its own demands - this house meets them all. We had friends staying over without any problem. Many attractions are in 30-60 min. drive, and so are lots of shopping malls. I would recommend this house to every family who is planning a vacation in southern CA - there is no hotel or vacation rental which can match the cost-effective benefits of this house. Thank you so much Mai & Jesse for all the fun we had.

More than likely, if you're reading these comments (and you're not the owner) you are considering renting this home. By all means, stop thinking about it, do yourself and your guests a favor, and BOOK IT! We did and LOVED it! We booked this incredible home because we are considering a move to Canyon Lake. As a result, it's no longer a consideration, it's now just a matter of when. This was my first experience renting from vrbo and it couldn't have gone any smoother. The owners, Mai and Jesse, were responsive and more than accomodating. They went out of their way, literally, to ensure my family and I had a positive experience. The home was as wonderful as described by other previous guests. Even if you have Waldorf Astoria tastes, you won't be disappointed. I also highly recommend renting their boat. It's easy to operate and there's no finer way to appreciate the homes that border the lake. Truly, this home lends itself to a relaxing, luxury vacation. For our stay, we chose to eat all our meals "at home". BBQ'n by the pool with an unbeatable view surrounded by family and relaxing with your favorite drink...priceless. Other highlights included: lots of jacuzzi time, kayaking, family games, the theatre room, billiards....you get the idea....we had a GREAT TIME! We're already planning our next trip. Thank you Mai and Jesse, for everything.
