I was grateful to have such respectful good people. You left my home so clean. You were all so quiet and peaceful. Any host would be lucky to have you stay at their home!
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.

I was so honored to host you. Thank you for leaving my property. In such great condition. You were always welcome back. Your family is awesome.
Perfect location, very open yet secluded at the same time. Big house with a large master suite. lots of room in the house for gatherings, Felt like a vacation home and not staying at some ones house in a tract neighborhood.
Will stay 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.

I am so happy that you were pleased with my property. I strive to provide everything you will need. I was very honored to host your family and I’m grateful you left my property in such good condition. You were always welcome back.
Quiet secluded neighborhood but minutes to the stores and beach.
Rooms were very large and lots of living room space for everyone and a 14 seat kitchen table, great for big meals together!
Plus everything you need for the beach!
Highly recommend for family vacation!

Thank you for your stay, James. You are always welcome back.
A great venue for our family get-together. Spacious house with a variety of common areas. The outdoor amenities are also really great: fire pit, hot tub, and outdoor shower. Plenty of room to relax. Best of all, host Patty is friendly, communicates clearly and is very responsive.

Just saw your response, it was an honor to host you and so happy to have you. Your family was really great and I want you to know that you are always welcome back.
The property was clean and well stocked. Plenty of places for people to sleep and gather. Everything was easy to locate appliances, towels, etc. Family, friendly with activities for children. We would definitely stay again.
we had my rehearsal here and it had lots of places to hang and sit and we had a great stay. the toilets were slow to flush and fill and didnt do well with more people using them but overall great

I am happy you had a nice stay, and there were so many places for you to hang out and enjoy your family and friends. I hope that you were able to gather around the fire pit and enjoy one another. It was a pleasure to host you, and you are always welcome back.
The house was perfect for what we wanted. The only negative was there was only two bathrooms.

I am sorry about that. I will be adding more bathrooms in the future. Hopefully, you were able to enjoy the outdoor shower.

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.

Jim and his family are very respectful to the property and to me. Jim was very helpful and offered to help me drill a hole to install a sensor light. Thank you, Jim! They left the house clean. They will always be welcome back and you would be lucky to have them for guests in your own property.
We had everything we needed! The owner was prompt to respond with any concerns. We enjoyed the fire pits, lizard hunting and the hot tub! The outdoor space is amazing. There is plenty of room for your entire family!

So glad the house worked for you! You are always welcome back. I am already booking for next year so make sure you reserve your time soon so you won't lose it!
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.
