Great place to stay! Very quiet and peaceful with abundant flowers and a beautiful pool! Owners were super easy to work with. We very much enjoyed our stay!!
Beautiful secluded property. Apartment was ideal, clean, good living space, modern kitchen.
A great place to relax for a couple of days. Easy access to restaurants nearby. Would highly recommend.
The property (and the hosts) were fantastic. We mostly just hung out all day at the pool and played games. A blessing having Trader Joe’s so close. We enjoyed wine-tasting only 30 minutes away. And for those who like to do touristy things, everything is quite close . Hoping to got back !!
My husband and I and our two young children had the pleasure of staying at Roger and Kari’s property for a week. We had absolutely lovely stay. Location was great and check in/check out process was very smooth and great communication with the hosts. Description of the property was very accurate. It was clean, comfortable and everything was well thought out. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again if ever back in San Diego.
Roger’s place was a nice, quiet retreat to retire to at the end of our busy days in SD. The kitchen was super sweet. With a coded front door lock, arrival was super easy. Roger was very responsive.
Kari and Roger’s listing was exactly as described.
The space is welcoming and comfortable.
The gardens are beautiful! As soon as we entered the gated estate we felt completely at home.
We highly recommend this listing.

Exactly what we were hoping for
This was our first VRBO experience and it absolutely met our expectations. Check-in was smooth. We traveled with two young children, and the unit itself worked out well. Any of the major attractions for family visitors (e.g., Legoland, Safari Park, Sea World, Zoo, Coronado) were all within about 30 minutes. And the pool also provided a great, private respite from the attractions. If you're looking to walk to nightlife, this would not be a good choice. But for us and our needs it was great.
We had a great visit over spring break. The space was nice and bright. Roger was an excellent host. He made my daughter's day by giving her the chance to feed and hold one of their bunnies. The kids loved the host's very friendly dog, Posey, and were happy to see her.
It was an easy drive to most tourist activities we were interested in doing in San Diego. We really liked being away from the action of the city at this location, it was nice and quiet. The host Roger was extremely friendly and very accommodating for our very late arrival time. I would highly recommend this location.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
We booked this place for 9 days, it is not setup to accommodate a long stay.1. No hot water in kitchen2. The washer dryer is ONE unit and the drying portion takes hours to dry. We dried the towels outside and took the rest of our clothes to a laundromat. 3. The grill was not available to use, it is also located downstairs on the owner’s patio4. The carpeting was not vacuumed 5. In the master bathroom area, the sink did not have hot water until you ran the shower hot water for several minutes6. The shampoo/conditioner/body wash set attached to the shower wall was broken. It was unusable and very old, needs to be replaced. The knobs fell off.7. The couch needs to be cleaned and Febreezed along with the blanket provided.8. In the kitchen, there were no large bowls, no cookie sheets, no casserole dishes, 1 frying pan, no wine glasses, no spatulas to flip meat. 9. The sound stick in the living room did not work. Difficult to change channels.The master closet was filled with junk, could barely hang our clothes.
The property was accurately listed and everything was as it says it was. Definitely recommend staying there if your looking for a centrally located place in Rancho Santa Fe. Everything was within 10 to 30 minute drive for us between the airport to Carlsbad. The the FROG was very spacious with all the amenities you need. Very quiet location as well.
Honestly one of the most accurate listings and best communication of any VRBO we've stayed in. Lovely personal interactions with the owners. Property was clean, well maintained, quiet & comfortable. Surrounding landscape filled with interesting greenery and fun animals. Would definitely stay there again!
It was my first time using VRBO and my stay met my expectations. The host was very informative and helpful to any of my needs. My friend and I enjoyed staying at this property and I definitely recommend it.
Excellent location!! Gated property! Close to beaches!
Beautiful park like setting w/private balcony. Spacious floorplan and includes a lot of amenities and a nicely heated pool. Would most definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay near the San Diego area. You won't be disappointed!!
