We had a great stay. The property was comfortable for my group of 11 adults. Plenty of space for everyone. The game room was a hit. Many of us would book this property again especially if we include our children since the house had kids furniture ready (crib, bunk beds, high chair, etc.).
The property was a beautiful mountain oasis. It was a great place to relax with our close friends and their families. The pool was very well maintained and I was actually able to be in the water (super sensitive skin) and did not get a rash from it. We had rental vehicles and San Diego was easy to tour from here. With everything (sea world, mission beach and the zoo) being a mere 20-30 minute drive.
Perfect house for multiple families and kids of all ages. House had everything we could imagine and was stocked with lots of kid friendly amenities. Owner was responsive and helpful. Would love to stay here again! Highly recommend.
Property was just as described on VRBO page, the backyard was beautiful! Great place to entertain with the pool table, pool, spa/hottub, and video games! We enjoyed our stay.
This was our first VRBO experience and it was just perfect. The listing was exactly as advertised and the house was just incredible. The hosts were super responsive when we had any questions and the location was excellent. Would highly recommend this property and will be coming back as soon as we can.
The property was as described. Very clean and organized. It had everything Gwen needed for a four day stay.The pool, arcade games and other activities made it so our grandchildren were occupied the entire trip.
House was everything we had hoped for. Very accurately represented and hosts were responsive. My family loved it. And all the details in the house were tended to, it’s the little things that show you when someone takes pride in their work. Zeina and Mo clearly do! Highly recommended. .
We had THEE BEST stay at this property! As a family with 6 teenagers, there was something for everyone at this home. The pool and the hot tub were amazing, the lounging area with the outdoor kitchen/grill and TV made for fun days and nights. The arcade room was non-stop action for our trip, ending each day with a family Mario Kart challenge! Mo was an incredible host, very responsive and clear communication for each detail of the home. This house has something to offer for everyone, I cannot recommend it enough! We will definitely keep this one in the books for future reservations. Thanks Mo for sharing your home with us!
We had a large group of 12 family members, including myself, my husband, our adult children and their spouses, and our three grandchildren under three years old. This vacation home had everything we could possibly need and more! It was stocked with every dish, utensil, and appliance that you could ever need, including silverware for the babies!They also had two high chairs, a crib, two pack and plays, a baby walker and several other items for guest use at the property. It was also well stocked with plenty of towels, dish soap, laundry soap, toilet paper, and any other supplies that guests might need for their stay. The property was almost too good! Our family never wanted to leave it to explore the city and enjoy the outings I had planned! The pool and hot tub were amazing and well stocked with plenty of floaties and life-vests for the babies.The entire outdoor area was great! We enjoyed grilling by the pool and making smores at the outdoor fireplace.I can’t say enough good things about the home. We will definitely stay again if we return to the area!
This home is stunning and the hosts are fantastic! We had two families staying at the property- 4 adults and 4 kids ages between 3-9. There was so much to do at the property we hardly needed to leave the house. The arcade room was amazing - great mix of arcade games, plus shuffleboard, Foosball and air hockey. The outdoor space was equally amazing - great pool, beautifully manicured gardens outdoor kitchen and eating area.Inside the house was immaculate and very nicely appointed. The furnishings and artwork were all nicely selected - it's clear that the host has a great eye towards interior design.One of the best things about the property is how well stocked it is to allow a comfortable vacation for the guests. Rental properties can sometimes be empty - not here! They had nice dishware, cooking tools, blenders, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, pool towels, board games, pool toys, kids floaties for the pool, grilling tools, etc - the list goes on and on! The hosts absolutely make it like a stay at a high end luxury resort! I 100% recommend this property and would absolutely stay here again for future travel to SD. Thanks Zeina and MO for being fantastic hosts and maintaining a beautiful property!!
The host was welcoming. The game room, the pool, hot tub were fantastic. Both adults and kids had a blast. The house was spacious. We cooked all dinner meals in the house or grill and we had everything tool we needed.
Very beautiful property, but also children friendly! Close drive to many attractions. The pool and hot tub were a hit. Game room next level!The hosts were very attentive!Hope we can come back!!!
Big house with lots of areas for sitting out around the pool or little garden nooks. Game room and pool table was fun for everyone. This was a very clean and well cared for house and was probably the most equipped house we have stayed in with all appliances and dishes utensils etc! Highly recommend this place!!
Great home for our full party of 13, there was plenty of space for all of us, and it didn't feel crowded at all. Everyone enjoyed all the amenities, especially the Pool table and the backyard pool. The game room was a complete hit with the kids, some of the adults too. We ate at the huge dining table and chatted around the large wrap around couch. Overall the house is well appointed for large gatherings. There was a hiccup the second night of our stay that was inconvenient. The plumbing got blocked and toilet water flooded the first floor bathroom, hallway, and main foyer. It was not due to our stay, apparently there was a branch that had grown into the pipe outside. We know this happens, it's a problem homeowners have to face, but we had a whole lot of people waking up to no bathroom usage. We had to scramble of the house. The owner was quick to respond and had the problem fixed that afternoon and had his cleaning crew in to clean up the watery mess. Also one other minor suggestion to the owner, it would be nice to place a small table on the right hand side of the bed in the bedroom on the first floor. I had to put my book and phone on the floor beside the bed.Overall, this house is recommended for your San Diego/surrounding area vacation.
