We used this house for a bachelorette party and had a great time! The host was so easy to communicate with and help us before we arrived. The house is amazing! We really enjoyed the hot tub and pool. We had a great time and it was the perfect house for a Bach party.

Thank you SO much for choosing Harwell Haven as the home to celebrate you! I’m happy our hard work paid off to ensure all our guests receive white glove attention. That’s my goal! It’s a great place to spread out and just chill.
Congratulations again on your upcoming marriage. I highly recommend. 😊
Absolutely loved this house but most importantly the host was the best ive ever experienced. The backyard set up is great and the inside is perfect and roomy. Usually its the other way around but the pictures doesnt do its justice, the house looks even better in person !
The host was amazing to work with & the house itself was beautiful and spacious for my 12 friends for my bachelorette. The space was clean when we arrived, and the area had a lot of parking available. Would definitely stay here again :)

Thank you so much for the kind words! You were pretty amazing to work with also and I hope you do come back.
Our house is a great place for Bach weekends with the openness of the floor plan and how it melds to the outside. I’m thrilled you enjoyed it all.
Enjoy the rest of your summer and happy wedding day!!
Beautiful property! Loved the pool and hot tub. The family had a fantastic time. The property manager was easy to communicate with.

Thank you Theresa for the kind words. We strive to make every guest feel right at home and have a fabulous vacation. I’m so glad you were able to accomplish that with your family. And you were so easy to work with and communicate with. Thank you for choosing Harwell Haven! Come back anytime!
We hosted a quiet baby shower at the home and everything was perfect. Newly remolded contemporary finished with a nice, attached but divided casita and pool. Plentiful utensils and cookware. Highly communicative owner available for any questions. Good location close to shopping, restaurants, coffee etc. I would rent again!

Thank you so much Robert! I truly appreciate such a nice review and your kind words. We hope you do come back soon. Maybe when the baby arrives????
Have a great Spring! 😊
Our stay was AMAZING. This house is even more beautiful in person. I came for my bachelorette trip with 14 girls, and this house was absolutely perfect for the occasion. Colleen was an amazing host- she checked in with me to make sure everything was exactly as it should be, and was available at all times whenever I had any questions for her. The whole experience was wonderful. It felt like we were staying in a home out of Architectural Digest. I would absolutely recommend it!

Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words Gabriella! I love when our guests feel welcomed and comfortable in our home. And I love special guests like you. We hope to see you again someday.
Best wishes for a long and prosperous marriage.
Our family stayed there for 2 nights to relax and attend our daughter's graduation at UCSD. We had a great time in this cozy and comfortable house. The house is very clean, well designed and nicely decorated. We loved the back yard and the well equipped kitchen also.
We rented this wonderful home to host our family for my son's graduation from SDSU. So much better than a hotel, we were able to all be together, just 15 mins from campus. The home is exactly as pictured and so well equipped from the high quality chefs kitchen, to the iron to get the creases out of his robe. The host Colleen was so warm and helpful. I really felt like I was coming to a friend's house. We will definitely be renting again!

I also appreciate your patience and understanding about the hot tub. Hopefully we’ll get that figured out asap.
We sure hope we get to host you again. We welcome you back anytime! Have a wonderful summer!
The house was very clean and comfortably fit our large group. The host, Colleen, was very accommodating and super communicative before and during our stay.

About the host
Hosted by Colleen
I’m just a mom of 5 amazing adults who blessed us with 8 beautiful grandchildren who started hosting about 7 years ago so we could offset the cost of a 2nd home that our whole family could gather at. I became a Superhost right away and manage 3 properties now. We’re just new to vrbo
I love to spend as much time as possible with the grands, travel, sports (playing and watching), coaching and hosting!
