This is a great place to stay and very central to most attractions. Perfect for a family of 4 with children 8 and 11. Even though it is called a studio it has plenty of room and very nice inside with comfortable furnishings. Awesome pool and hot tub. Brooke and family were very accomodating and friendly. Our kids enjoyed playing with their kids as well! Will definitely come back here and have already recommended this placed to 2 of our friends. Thank you Brooke for a wonderful stay!!!!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

The studio provided much more room than a hotel for myself and two teens. everything you could want plus a lot of special touches from Brooke and her family. Enjoyed the pool and tennis and easy access to many locations. Will definitely stay here again if we are in the area. Very comfortable bed! Very pleased with the location, and great communication and service from the hosts. Highly recommend.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for your review Vivian! We enjoyed having your family stay. Hopefully your daughter will have another ice skating competition here again! Thank you, Brooke

This is an amazing place to stay. My boys 11 and 16 loved the pool and tennis court. My husband and I loved the hot tub. Brooke is the perfect hostess. She totally has a gift for making you feel welcomed and comfortable. She also made a great notebook of tourist attractions and had map quested them all. She was very helpful with whatever we needed. I would totally recommend staying in this home. It is great for all ages and is in a perfect location to all the hot spots. But still away from all the crazy traffic and city noise. We will for sure stay there again. You cannot go wrong staying here!!!Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Jeanie & family~ Thank you for the nice review. We're glad you had a fun vacation. I'm happy your boys got to have surf lessons, and enjoy the beach. We hope to see you here again for vacation. Thanks again, Brooke Cali-Retreat

Stayed at the Cali Retreat for two (2) weeks in June 2012. Appreciated the off street parking/comfy furniture/washer & dryer/great shower. Friendly owners and very hospitable. Was quite convenient as a daughter lives in Escondido. We kept pretty busy so didn't use all the amenities offered but we did enjoy our stay and we say "Thank-You!"

I want to take the opportunity to thank BROOKE and GARY for such a wonderful place to stay. TOP SHELF pretty much sums it up. Even with our busy schedule we made it a point to relax poolside and enjoy the sun, view and eachother. The CALI-RETREAT is truly a place to come back to time and time again. THANK YOU from PATTY and STEVERecommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for the nice review Steve & Patty! It was so nice to meet you both. I hope you will come back again when you come to visit your daughter. Take care, Brooke

We spent 2 months at Cali-Retreat escaping winter in the northwest. It was everything we expected and much more. The apartment is super clean, convenient, well equipped, even for a 2 month stay. We enjoyed the beautiful, quiet neighborhood that is also easily accessable to shopping and entertainment and a 24 hour Donut stand. What more could you want?! Brooke and Gary were there whenever we had a question or needed something. It was a wonderful 2 months!Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: Lorraine, & Ray~ Thank you for the great review. We enjoyed having you stay @ Cali- Retreat. We are so glad to have met you, & we really hope you come back next year! I think of you whenever we go to Peterson's Donuts! :)

We stayed at Cali Retreat for 8 nights and had the best time. Brooke went above and beyond. We have a 4 year old and a 11 month old and when we arrived Brooke had toys, kids movies, a highchair, and the kids beds all set up and waiting for us. It was a very nice apartment and super clean. The tennis courts, pool, and spa were awesome. Brooke was very helpful with suggestions for places to eat and things to do and see. If we needed anything, she had it within a few minutes. We would definitely stay there again and would highly recommend it.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, sightseeing.

My wife and I stayed a week at the Cali-Retreat and it is a true "retreat". Gary and Brooke were very hospitable and they really thought about everything when planning the layout of this property. From the tennis courts and pool area with built-in sound system to the spacious studio with beautiful decor, they really have an oasis of tranquility. We were looking for a place to rest and relax (vacation from our vacation) and we were able to accomplish just that at the Cali-Retreat. Everyday we played tennis during the late morning and afterwards we would relaxed poolside daily allowing us to refresh and get ready for the daily grind. Thanks Brooke and Gary.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Our family stayed at the Cali Retreat back in August and had such a wonderful time! We still talk about what a great place it was - fun swimming pool and tennis court, cute, clean, well-decorated apartment, and VERY gracious and personable hosts. We will definitely be back. Thank you Brooke and Gary for sharing part of your beautiful home with our family!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We had an excellent stay here. Brooke goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need. BBQ'ing while swimming in the pool, playing tennis & basketball was a nice way to spend the evenings after being at the parks all day. Location is conveniently located within 30 minutes of all the Parks. Would definitely stay here again.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

My daughter, grand-daughter, niece, and I stayed at this property and loved it. The photos are representative of the property and the amenities are better than described. Very quiet with a beautiful view from the pool at night. The location was convenient...close to the Interstate, shopping, and the Safari Animal Park. Getting to Sea World, Legoland, and the beach was not a problem either...about 20-30 minutes at best. Brooke and Gary were very friendly and informative. Brooke even brought down some toys for my grand-daughter to play with during our stay!! I would definitely recommend the Cali Retreat..and will return as soon as I can.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

Just wanted to say thank you to the Cali Retreat! My first time in California could not have been better. Staying in this rental was a great experience, and I am hoping to come back and stay again, and see the owner's again someday. Very very hospitable and extremely helpful with everything. The owner's go beyond expectation to make sure we were comfortably suited. The pool area was very nice, large pool and awesome hot tub, and having a large tennis court was really cool, because it gave us something to do when we stayed around the rental. Also, San Diego and the ocean and alot of other fun things to do were not very far. Thanks Cali Retreat!!!!!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Thank you Brooke and Gary. We had such a great time at the Cali Retreat. The accommodations were great. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed to make our trip to San Diego a memorable one. The pool, hot tub and tennis court made our stay even more enjoyable and kept our kids active and happy. The location was perfect. The neighborhood was nice and quiet but close enough to the freeway to get to the beach or Sea World in no time. We have told our friends and family that if they are going to San Diego, they have to stay at the Cali Retreat. Thank you, Lisa and MikeRecommended for: Families with young children, girls getaway.

We stayed at the Cali Retreat for a week and had the best time!!! The accommodations were perfect for our family of four. The beds were comfortable. Everything is brand new & top quality. It was such a better alternative to staying in a stinky hotel! From cooking at our own place, and doing our own laundry, swimming in an awesome pool, hottubbing & relaxing in front of the firepit at night (even roasting marshmallows & making smores...yummy!); we had such a fun time in Cali! Golfing was top knotch & the theme parks & beach were so fun! Truly a memorable vacation for our family! Thanks so much for providing such comfortable & classy accommodations for us! We'd love to return to the CaliRetreat next time we come to San Diego. Thank you!!!
