Great Location

Great location! Easy access to beach, Camp Pendleton, San Diego attractions, shopping, and food. Had a family BBQ and outdoor space was perfect for hosting. Lots of seating and relaxed atmosphere. House is huge! Tons of sleeping space. Host was easy to communicate with and gave clear directions. If we travel back I would definitely book this spot again.

Wonderful retreat and place to relax after a day of sightseeing in San Diego. Seriously, the backyard, various seating options, tables, and activities was the perfect place for our family reunion to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. The house was ready to go when we got there. The owner did a wonderful job of answering my questions. The location was close to everything. And at night, it was very peaceful.

Excellent location with all the amenities and well maintained.

Our family was in town for a wedding in San Marcos. This is a great central location with a close drive to the beaches in Carlsbad. The house is very nice and very private. All the amenities you need for a nice family get away. Patty is a very gracious host and welcomed us upon arrival. We would definitely recommend this location and will come back again.

I was impressed with all areas of the property from inside to outside. Plenty of seating all around. Sleeping areas were comfortable. The kitchen area met all needs. We definitely appreciated the kids play area and toys. The infant children love the walker and their toys too. As I said before All Needs Covered.
