Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the comfy beds, stocked kitchen, and all the fun games. It means a lot to us that you had a great stay!
We’d love to host you again anytime.
This home is gorgeous and has everything you need. We had a girls trip of 8 people and paid the extra event fee to invite local family and friends. It ended up being 28 people total and everyone fit comfortably. The host and his team are very detail oriented and quick to respond. The home is near lots of shops and eateries as well so you don't need to travel far for anything. Would absolutely stay here again.
Had a great stay! Everything we could need was there. Easy drive to Legoland, Walmart close by, great backyard to relax in. Would definitely recommend it!
Great house we stayed in for a lacrosse tournament with 5 teen boys--plenty of room for everyone and lots of activities to keep them busy when we were not at the fields!
Loved the property the beds were so comfortable! The house was the perfect size!

Thank you so much for the great review, Chana! We're glad that the kids loved everything about the house! We look forward to hosting you again soon! :)
Easiest 5-star rating I've given. The home was large enough that our family reunion had moments being shared in different pockets throughout our stay. Kids playing in the grass and on the swing, aunts and uncles hanging in the hot tub, sibling rivalries starting and ending at the basketball hoop around the side, all while meals were being cooked in the nice kitchen and at the backyard grill. Perfect one-stop vacation for our purpose and I'd love to return here for a hang with a group of friends. The only thing I'd recommend folks consider if they are booking is how to pick who's in master bedroom since it was desired by all as it was considerably larger and had the balcony. But hey - I booked this one so I got it :)
We had such a wonderful stay at Paradise! The home was exactly as pictured. The home and decor is so inviting and welcoming. The home is very clean. The labels in the kitchen were a huge help and they have everything imaginable you may need in there. I appreciated the abundance of towels and toilet paper in every bathroom. Also plenty of pillows too! The "she shed" as we called it, was such a fun little hangout spot. The thoughtfulness and care that was put into the home to create a fun welcoming place to stay was very clear. I truly felt like I was in paradise. We hope to return soon! Thank you!!
The property was amazing. So many rooms for our group on the inside and plenty of amenities outside to entertain us. If we had one criticism it would be that the pool could use more chaise given the capacity of the home - some of us were not able to lay out in the beautiful California sun.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed the house and amenities. We’d love to host you again in the future!
Our stay was perfect! No complaints from us. Host communicated very quickly and very descriptive so no confusions. House was super clean and many activities for kids.
Lovely place and a quick hop to the beach. There's a grocery store handy, as well as a lot of place to get take out. We enjoyed all of the outdoor perks like the pool, hot tub, ping pong, the swings, and a great outdoor dining area. If it's available when we head to Oceanside again, we'd definitely go back.
Wonderful views. Very comfortable home. Well stocked kitchen. We ate most of our meals there. Everything was easy to use. My grandkids (6 year old twin boys and 7 year old grand daughter) were in the pool lots of the time. Quiet neighborhood.

This was a nice property with a BEAUTIFUL view. The communication with the owner was very fast. The only thing we noticed was the listing said there would be a gym but didn’t see one. Other than that it was perfect. I will rebook this location the next trip.
