I really enjoyed my stay at the Hilltop View Guesthouse. It was a perfect stay for me and my daughter and our 2 pups. The house had everything we needed and we loved the back fenced in patio for sitting outside. The bed was really comfortable and the home was clean. We enjoyed walking the dogs in the quiet neighborhood too.

We really enjoyed our short stay here. Lovely neighborhood.The place was really clean, but the floor wasn't, so I'd just suggest bringing some house shoes if you are used to walking barefoot. And also, it's bring-your-own coffee (there is a coffee pot).

House was clean and pretty well-equipped. The A/C in both the bedroom and living room worked great. Location is quiet with a nice view but it was a bit hard to find the first night. It was very close to our daughter’s house, so worked out great for us. We would book again next time we visit.

Cute Cottage

We only stayed for a long weekend but this property was a great place and one of a kind. The neighborhood is beautiful with a tiny vineyard close by. The cottage is small but lovely and the perfect size for the two of us. Made our visit to Vista just a little nicer.

nice place but.....

It was told to us upon check in that we may see bugs but the house is treated bi monthly. We killed alot of bugs during our stay. One night we saw a roach. Im told this is due to location. The AC made it hard to cool the entire place. It was good to keep bedroom cool but not front of house area. It was a very warm weekend so it was hot in the house. They provided box fans. Host was nice and check in was easy

Thank you for your review. We have contacted our pest control service and would have earlier if we’d have known about this issue. As far as the AC, unfortunately, your stay was the last one before our upgrade to the HVAC system. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay overall but we’re sorry it may not have been exactly what you would have hoped for.

Two Out of Three ain't Good!

House was advertised as pet friendly, airconditioned and in Vista CA. It was not air conditioned except for bed room. We paid for two weeks on "good faith" acceptence of those discriptive attributes. We were unable to get someone to address complaint regarding air conditioning Saturday evening. We drove back to Phoenix Sunday morning. We hope someone trys to make things right. The rest of the property was, for the most part, as advertised.
