Solid stay! The drive up the road is a bit of a white-knuckle ride, but we got used to it. The pool was fantastic and our family loved it. The house is dated, but is clean and comfortable. Hosts were very responsive to communication. Thanks for a great stay!

We loved the property, and the kids loved it as well. Pool was great, scenery was great, weather was even better and it’s quiet which is not something we are used to where we live, and it’s not that far from the San Diego beaches we visited. Kids says it’s best vacation they have had so far.

Thank you so much! 😊 This made my day! We’re thrilled you and the kids loved the property and had such a great time. The pool and the quiet setting are definitely two of our favorite things about it, and it’s awesome to hear the beaches were an easy drive too.

We had a wonderful time! The kids loved the pool and searching for lizards. The adults enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and beautiful view. As others have mentioned, the road is a bit challenging. It is definitely best to drive it for the first time in the daylight. Mel is a great host! He responded quickly when we had questions or needs. We would definitely rent his place again.

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re thrilled the kids had a blast with the pool and lizard-hunting, and that you all enjoyed the peaceful setting and views. Appreciate the heads-up about the road—daylight is definitely the way to go the first time. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

This is a lovely location for a remote and relaxing stay if your priorities are remote location, mountain views and a big pool. The listing is an older guest home that is located about 100' from the main home. There was no-one in the main home when we stayed, so it felt very private. The listing's accommodation interior is very traditional in decor, but is fine. All bathrooms are on the ground floor, but two (2) of the three bedrooms are upstairs. Upstairs is via some very steep stairs, so keep this in mind if you have guests with limited mobility. It's a long way into town; maybe 15 minutes, so be sure to pack in what you want. It met our needs and we had a great visit to the area to do some fun activities!

Great base for our San Diego area vacation

We had a wonderful time. The views and property are gorgeous. We loved spending time by/in the pool and the house had everything we needed. Most days we traveled into the San Diego area for beach and tourist activities and the 45 min- 1 hour drive worked out just fine for us.

Thank you so much, Mel & Tina, for such an incredible stay! Our family of six had an amazing trip. The kids loved it so much they said they’d like to make it a yearly tradition and come back to the same home every year. There was plenty of space for all of us—and even room for my mom to join for a night! The view and the pool is incredible. We hope to come and visit again sometime. Thank you again!
