Excellent Home

Our daughter and her husband live six minutes from this home so convenience and space for three adults was our goal This beautiful spacious home exceeded our expectations check in and communication with host was seamless. Beds were super comfy, and kitchen and bathroom amenities were very well appointed. We would highly recommend this home and it’s beautiful mountain location to anyone traveling to the San Diego area.

Beyond our expectations

The house and property are even better than the pictures. My wife and I live in a small home in La Mesa but wanted our family from the East Coast to experience SoCal living so we rented this house. It exceeded all expectations! We loved the bedrooms, open concept living and amazing pool! Plus the location can't be beat with excellent privacy, beautiful views of Cowles mountain and close proximity to the trail head. We hope to return next year!

Birthday vacay

Spent several days in this beautiful home celebrating my daughters second birthday. First we noticed how clean the property was. The home itself is very comfortable and fit us all well. The pack n play was very much appreciated. The pool was everyone’s favorite, we spent hours enjoying it. House is 20-25 minutes from popular attractions but everything we needed was collapse by. Coffee shop in walking distance. Walking trails right across the street. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back one day! Only recommendation is to add a few more blankets. Otherwise, perfect!!

Nice home in a convenient spot, but some unsavory activities

The host was good and the home was nice enough. Not particularly well-appointed for a family. It felt a lot more like a short-term rental than a home. Not especially comfortable, but good enough for the amount of time we were there. Oddly, a neighbor came to the home while we were staying there to tell us that the hosts/owners have turned a nice neighborhood into a cesspool where the home is regularly rented out to adult filmmakers and other parties of unsavory characters (with too many gory details), which immediately made me and my family wish we weren't there at all. I will not be returning.

Not that you think.

overall, the location, coffee and showers were good. However we kept having issues with keeping the spa heated, turning on the lights to the pool. also the fire pit table didn't work and we had to constantly had to clean the pool with the net but noticed the net had holes that allowed it to not pick up much. The pool and spa didn't smell fresh and clean but we tried what we could so my family could enjoy themselves. Now for the bedding in all rooms they did not smell clean at all so we washes them ourselves. also there wasn't any washcloths at all. If your going to rent out a home that is well over one million and renting it at the daily price that it is I would definitely make sure I update the washer and dryer and have more things to cook with. The Main disturbing thing is we were stopped by a neighbor when we were leaving and said the home is rented out to porn people and filming videos as well in the pool. Very disturbing to know that. won't rent this place again.

Nice Stay

It was a good stay. My family spent a lot of time in the pool during our stay but minus a star as we had to do some minor cleaning around the home and pool. Location of home is about 20+ minutes from everything.

Great stay

Miguel was very helpful. He reached out just after I booked the trip and made sure to answer any questions, even offered to provide floaties for my son. He was helpful throughout and the house was great. Having an en suite in each bedroom was great and the pool was enjoyed by all. Would definitely book again.

San Carlos Oasis

Spacious, open floor plan...Great outside entertaining area. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this home. We had an event at Petco Park but wanted to be on the outskirts. This was the perfect place to relax, swim, and order in! We also found a yummy coffee shop not too far away as well as a grocery store for the essentials. Plenty of towels which was a plus with a house full of girls! Also, thanx for the early check-in! Thanx Miguel

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Had a great stay at this listing. Loved the interior, it’s honestly what I want my future house to look like! Each room had its own bathroom and was decorated in a tasteful and minimalistic way. The shower in the master bathroom doesn’t get as hot as some other places, but I wouldn’t count that as a downside (just something to note depending on your preference). My favorite thing about this listing was the kitchen, it was very spacious, much like the rest of the listing. It was the best choice for me and my loved ones to enjoy a few days vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Miguel Vargas

Host profile image
I've been living in the beautiful city of San Diego for more than 15 years now. I came to visit and I never left. When I'm not working on my home I enjoy getting out in nature with my wife and kids, playing sports, and being active.

Why they chose this property

I used to hike the mountain right across the street from this house every weekend, so when this house came on the market I knew it was for me. Instead of driving to the mountain, now I walk across the street. It was the best purchase I ever made.

What makes this property unique

The sunsets from the balcony and from the top of the mountain are spectacular. You won't regret them one bit.
