Wonderful Stay

My family and I had a wonderful stay here. It is a beautiful home with nice facilities and features, able to accommodate a large family with kids and grandkids. If something wasn’t working they were fast to respond and help. Very comfortable beds and great pool/backyard. I would recommend this stay.

Thanksgiving in Oceanside

It was wonderful! 8 adults, plenty of space, so many spots to gather indoors and out, very comfortable. Clean! Cooked everyday, kitchen was awesome for cooking for a crowd. Backyard was so fun! Coming from Boston it was such a treat. Running and walking trails close by that we used everyday, neighborhood is great. Would book another stay here in a minute!

Wonderful stay for your next gathering!

Great accommodations for our group of 12! The house was very spacious and everyone (from ages 3-80+) were comfortable! Marie and Brandon thought of everything - the house was well stocked and we loved gathering around both indoor and outdoor dining areas. Good location for Legoland and Safari Park. Highly recommended for large groups!

Spacious for a big group

I celebrated my 40th birthday with 6 of my friends and this space was perfect. It was like we had a slumber party but with our own rooms. The communal areas were spacious and the pool + jacuzzi was a really nice to just relax. We had a wonderful stay at the Descanso residence and would come again!

Great Thanksgiving Holiday escape

Well run and super stocked home that was perfect for our three generation family to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. The pool is worth the heating cost as the littles loved it and while that was happening the massive TV's took care of the crew to watch the football games. The kitchen has everything you'd need and then some as we made all of our meals at the house. Will book again for sure.

Quiet sanctuary

We had an amazing week in this beautiful house! It was clean and spacious, had everything we could have needed and it was in a great neighborhood. Communication and instructions from the host were easy. It was central so traveling to San Diego and LA were both easy. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a peaceful, effortless vacation

Beautiful and spacious

The house was very spacious and beautiful! More impressive than the pictures!! Marie was very responsive and helpful during our stay! It was a little cooler than expected so we didn't get to enjoy the pool but it was peaceful just to sit by it. We will definitely rent here again. Plus it has sooo many toys for young kids We didn't need the ones we brought.

Perfect place

We loved this home. We rented it with my siblings and parents to celebrate my Dad’s 70th birthday. We had several young children and an infant. There was plenty of room, lots of kid friendly things and they LOVED the pool and jacuzzi. We ended up just hanging out at the house more than we planned. Perfect place to gather for the weekend. Thank you!

December stay

We had a wonderful time at Villa Descanso! We stayed Christmas week with 4 teenagers/preteens, 4 parents and 3 grandparents. The property was clean and well kept, the kitchen well stocked, and there was lots of space for our extended family to spend time together. The spa and pool were relaxing for kids and adults alike. Elodie was very quick to respond even when we messaged her on Christmas Day about a last minute decision to heat the pool for the kids the following day. Thank you for a relaxing and wonderful stay!

Excellent Property for family

My family converged upon Oceanside from all over the US to celebrate my daughter’s college graduation. The property is so misleading from the front. Just wait unit you walk through the door! Once inside, it was huge and so inviting. The house has absolutely EVERYTHING you need in the kitchen and to relax, sit back, and enjoy. The pool was the perfect escape the whole week. TV’s in every room, big pool towels & beach chairs & toys are just a few of the perks. The host literally thought of everyone when stocking this place I would recommend 100%. So grateful I found this place. it made coming back “home” after 4 years even better.

Perfect Find!!

When 4 families decided we wanted to do a vacation together, the hunt began in search of the perfect spot for 8 adults and 6 kids ranging in age from 3 months to 6 years. Enter Villa Descanso. This place had enough room for all 14 of us both inside and outside. Everyone kept saying how perfect of a find this house was. From the thoughtfulness of the bedrooms, which the kids LOVED having a kids room with a bunk bed and access to different toys and activities to a pool that had umbrellas for shade and a fire pit for s’mores - you can tell this place was designed to bring people of all ages together. The host was very responsive and we had no issues at all. Everything was clean and well-stocked! Definitely would go back.

Amazing House for Our Large Family

We had a glorious stay at this house for a full week while visiting family and friends in Oceanside. Plenty of space for our group of 6 adults, 2 kids (2 & 6) and 2 newborns, including bedrooms for everyone, plenty of bathrooms, and a huge kitchen/dining room. The fenced pool was a huge reason we booked this house, as we could just throw on our bathing suits and walk out the door anytime we needed a quick and easy activity with the kids, plus we felt safe having them out back while not having to worry about them getting into the pool when they shouldn’t. Easily accessible from the highway, and a quick drive over to the beach, restaurants, and breweries. We wished we’d known in advance that the pool needed 24-hours to be heated and cost $50 per day, but that was the only thing we experienced that wasn’t positive.

Perfect Accommodations

This property is truly stunning! The house itself is beautifully decorated yet feels super homey at the same time. The owners really thought of everything when setting it up as a rental. We had everything we needed and more. I personally used this as a getting ready location for my large bridal party the day of my wedding. For anyone looking for a spot close to Botanica (5-min drive) this was an ideal location for our hair/makeup stylists to meet at. Plenty of space and great lighting too. The only improvement I’d suggest is perhaps pillow variation. I’m a fan very flat pillows and the pillows were very fluffy. I felt very propped up which it made it difficult for me to sleep. Definitely a personal issue, so if you like flat pillows, bring your own from home. Thanks for a great stay. Would highly recommend again.

Family Friendly Property

House is very children friendly with house toys and pool toys provided. Went there for my 70th birthday celebration with our 2 children and spouses and our 4 grandkids who range in age from 1 year to 12 years old. We all had a great time. It was comforting that the pool was fenced. The house is very welcoming and beautiful. I would definitely stay here again. The only recommendation would be to have a regular pest service as the bugs will bite starting in late afternoon into evening. We brought bug spray but still got bit up.
