This was the perfect getaway for a long weekend! The home was beautiful, very clean / well furnished, and communication with Mark was speedy and helpful. The pool and spa were so relaxing, and we enjoyed grilling dinner while the hot air balloons floated past. Close to downtown for dinner, coffee/drinks, and local shopping, you really can't go wrong. We would have stayed another week if we could!

We hosted a family Xmas here and we could not have been more thrilled with the home and location. It exceeded every expectation.

We’ve stayed at homes around the world and this is one of the best. The host sent videos explaining various aspects and amenities, which was very helpful. We found everything clean and in working order, and watched tv as we grilled and swam and hot tubbed. We were in town for horses at Del Mar - ideal location. Golf at nearby LaCosta and enjoy perfect weather of sunny southern CA. Highly recommend

Beautiful property with tons of space!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property with friends. The kitchen was fantastic for cooking and the two Master Suites are especially nice! The outdoor area with the hot tub was a big plus, and the large pool was clean and refreshing (though not very warm.) We appreciated the quick and easy communication with the host, and the beautiful surroundings of the area!
