Located in downtown Vista, this 1950's 2 bedroom 1 bath house is the perfect Home Away From Home. It has a warm cabin feel with some modern updates. There is a large outdoor area for grilling and relaxing. It is private and quiet but also close to lots of shopping, theaters, restaurants, breweries (all walking distance), and only 7 miles from the beach.
This is not a full time vacation rental and is not "IKEA" in its design and decor. This is our winter home but during the rest of the year, when we go back to New York to work, we rent this house to others. We remove our "personal" items so you won't feel like it is anything but your space. It is older and funky and has a great feel and vibe. It is 850 s.f. of cozy cottage/cabin. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, glasses, etc. There is space for 3 cars to park (carport and driveway). The patio or porch is a great place to enjoy the garden and view.

Great Location!
Adorable cottage in the heart of Vista. Lovely backyard with a gas grill and a covered porch where you can enjoy your morning coffee. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need to cook (if you like). Very close to lots of restaurants , shopping and beach. Carol was very responsive to all our questions. Would recommend her place.

Vista Visit
The property is very nice, has mentioned by the owners. It is not just some VBRO rental. It is their actual home six months of the year, it’s extremely well appointed throughout the house and very comfortable. The outside back deck is wonderful for coffee and dinner and cocktails at night, owners show great pride in their landscaping, and overall condition of the house. A very pleasant stay would certainly consider staying here again if we come back this way.

The Vista Village Retreat was a perfect location for our stay. The house is outfitted with everything one would need for a comfortable stay. It was close to the interstate and easy walking distance to restaurants and coffee houses. It was an easy drive to north county beaches and attractions. I especially enjoyed the patio in the evenings. It is a nice place to unwind in the evenings or have coffee in the mornings. The neighborhood is quiet and quaint. The Sprinter trolley runs close by but we didn’t find it annoying or bothersome. The property owners are super responsive and appreciated the feedback. Their property is safe and suited for our two week stay perfectly. We will definitely book this property again.

Private Home well equipped and relaxing
We liked that we could approach the home from several directions. As we no longer are capable of walking long distances, we appreciated that banks, stores, restaurants were in close driving distances (less than 5mins). There are new restaurants in Vista, CA and we explored many. The home is spacious and well maintained...I liked the owners phrase - "this is not an Ikea home." It is a very comfortable home with full kitchen. We enjoyed our visit.

Fun little house
The house was very comfortable. The weather was extremely hot while we were there and Vista lost power 5 days in a row…but this house never lost power. The only negative for me was the laundry being outside was too hard to use…especially the dryer. So I ended up doing laundry somewhere else…so that was inconvenient

Garden oasis
Pros: The garden is stunning and the patio is a perfect place to relax.
Cons: 1) Although there are shops nearby, there is no sidewalk for the first couple of blocks and the road is narrow and cars go fast. We did not feel comfortable walking. 2) There is a commuter train that goes by every 30 minutes between about 4:00 am and 9:00 pm and blows its horn. Distance from house is about 3 houses/lots away. 3) The main living area of the house has a slightly musty smell.

We are happy the guests enjoyed our garden and outdoor area.
Regarding some of their concerns: The house sits on a hill in downtown Vista, and the hillside streets do not have sidewalks. The streets were created over 70 years ago. It is about a 3 minute walk to the bottom of the hill where the sidewalk starts and of course, care should be taken when walking along the road. We would like sidewalks too and for cars to go slower - but alas, those are things beyond our control.
Below us and about 700 feet away, as the crow flies, there is a train track crossing. We are used to the trains and don't hear it much anymore, but for others it may be a nuisance, like many other city noises. Overall, it is very peaceful in our garden oasis.
The house's main living area is paneled in knotty pine as can be seen in the pictures, the smell is wood - not mustiness.

Super cute!
I have stayed in a lot of rental properties because I like to explore new towns and this one of my favorites. The house had everything you need and more! The kitchen was well stocked and the ice maker was ready for use. It had plenty of linens and even travel sized items in case you forgot to bring something. The house had books, games, card games and DVD movies in case you got bored. The house had AC that worked really well. The bed was firm, yet comfortable and the bedroom had plenty of dressers for storage. The owner had everything clearly marked, so I never had any questions. The only downside is I wish I could have stayed longer!

À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Carroll Reetz
Carroll and I spend most of our year in Niagara Falls, NY where we run the guesthouse and several vacation rentals. We have been doing this for over 10 years. A couple years ago, we decided to spend our winters at our house in Vista, CA (where Carroll came from before moving to NY). We spent the last two winters renovating the property for us to live in from Jan-April and for others to enjoy from May-Dec.
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
President Eisenhower said Vista has the best climate in the country. Sunny without the daily coastal fog yet close enough to the beaches to enjoy the sea breezes.
The street is an old avocado trail that was along the hillside. In the mid-50's houses were built in this area. During the last 20 years, downtown Vista has undergone a major redevelopment and gone from semi-rural/agricultural to "the place to be." The house is walking distance to many shops, restaurants, breweries, a water park and cinema.
