A fantastic place!

This was such a quaint and peaceful place to stay. It was so quiet, too. The neighborhood was beautiful and a great place to take a walk if you wanted. It felt like we were far removed from the busyness of the city, but it was actually only minutes to everything.Susan was so welcoming and kind. The place was in immaculate condition. It was so comfortable and we had a great stay. We will definitely be booking again.

Susan's guest house is a wonderful place for a couple to stay. High ceilings enhance the spacious one bedroom unit and furnishings are delightful and comfortable. She provided oranges from her trees for fresh orange juice in the morning. Thank you!

Wonderful Place to Stay

The apartment was private. It was very clean and comfortable. My husband and I enjoyed our short stay very much. We even got to experience what a great orange just picked from the tree tasted like. Susan was very nice and we really enjoyed meeting her. If I could give ten stars instead of five, I would.

This private 1-bedroom suite with kitchen was like a home away from home. Extremely quiet and safe - we slept with the windows open and it was seriously our best sleep in a long time! Close to local restaurants and grocery stores, and a short and easy 20-minute drive to Carlsbad and the beach. The host, Susan, was welcoming and at the same time did not intrude. Gorgeous property and neighborhood. Quiet and laid-back!!

February SD Visit

Overall, we had a pleasant stay at this property. We found the hosts to be gracious, kind, and very responsive. The hosts were so kind to direct us in since we were arriving well after dark. The property was quiet and secluded. We felt safe at the location and the private drive was convenient for the apartment. The apartment was spacious for a one bedroom and the large bathroom gave us both plenty of room to get ready. The bed was comfortable as advertised. We slept well the entire time. The downside of our stay was minimal. The furnishings seemed a bit outdated but clean and functional. There wasn’t a lot of drawer space in the bedroom for a lengthy stay, but plenty of space to hang clothes. We did have an ant infestation midway through our stay. The hosts did their best to mitigate the issue but it did linger throughout the remainder of our stay. I think the torrential rains had something to do with the ants moving inside. Overall, it was a nice stay and will return!

Peaceful retreat

I found this apartment to be the ideal place to rest, relax and recharge during my visit to Vista. The kitchen was well equipped, the towels in the bathroom were luxurious, and the bed was comfortable. I liked the marble floors in the bedroom and bathroom. The TV was modern enough to connect to my phone's display and the living room furniture was comfortable. I especially appreciated the fresh fruit that my hosts offered to me, they were delicious! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
