Casa De Norte: Hillside Oasis w/ Saltwater Pool & Spa

Casa De Norte is the perfect way to enjoy the indoor/outdoor lifestyle California is famous for!

-Poolside pergola offers a relaxing spot to enjoy the shaded outdoors & is accessible via 3 sunroom, master & bunk bedrooms (Sunroom equipped w/ door chimes & bedroom also has childproof deadbolt to prevent unsupervised access to pool).
-If you’d rather soak up some sun there’s 2 loungers ready for relaxing along with a dining table & umbrella for an al fresco lunch.
-Grab a book from the game room bookshelves & head out to the Queen bedroom hammock (one of our favorite spots) to enjoy a nap surrounded by the hillside & bird song.
-Binge se of your favorite shows from the sunroom soda while easily keeping an eye & ear on those in the pool via many patio doors/windows. The Roku (sunroom TV) or Prime Stick (Bedroom) make it easy to sign into your streaming accounts or home cable network.

*Pool towels are provided & the pergola coffee table holds a revolving selection of children's toys, arm floats, etc.

----NOTE----
*Door alarms are installed on bunk & sunroom patio doors to help prevent littles from accessing pool area without supervision (may be manually switch these off). There is also a child safety lock for the front door. In addition the bunk room patio door had a deadbolt system that requires unique un-locking procedure unlikely to be accomplished by children.

*Beach sand has a habit of clogging the pool filter so we kindly ask you make sure to rinse any toys out after the beach :)

—-FAMILY FUN——
-Full size billiard table off kitchen/dining

Casa De Norte
The house, although a little dated was well equipped for a great family vacation. Our grandkids loved the pool. The house is located close to Walmart, Target and Stater Bros making groceries easy to pick up. Jessica and Justin were quick to help with a couple of questions. Loved that everything labeled and notes around the house to explain how to use things. It took the guess work finding the way things worked. Thanks for a great Holiday Home

Visiting Family In Escondido
I stayed here with my wife, mom, aunt, and 2 year old son. The layout of the home was really great for my family, and the safety alarms on the doors were super helpful for my young child. The rooms were comfortable and clean, overall a success. The pool was expensive to heat (we stayed in October) but it was really lovely. Views from the deck were great, an awesome outside hangout. We stocked up on bottled water and foods. There are some random leftovers from prior guests. It was convenient to where we were visiting family members, but was an expensive stay.

Great place to relax!
Stayed at the property while our daughter recovered from surgery. The pool area and sunroom are great places to relax as a family and we felt very at home during the stay. The owners were very easy to communicate with and even dropped by to give us the lighter for the fire pit after we could not locate one in the house.

Nice getaway
Great place to escape the Phoenix heat. Very clean. Had everything we needed. Pool was great. Our only complaint was the nest thermostat. We like it cool and it kept resetting to a temp that was too hot us. Overall excellent place. We would definitely book again.

Backyard Paradise!
Had such a great stay at this beautiful property. The pool and hot tub are almost too good to be true, well at least for a Midwesterner (great temperature!) Hosts were kind and communicative. Easy to travel to neighboring beaches, SD, etc.

The perfect place for us to relax and explore
We stayed here for 4 nights. It was really clean and in wonderful shape. You can tell that our hosts thought of everything they could to make our stay enjoyable, from an easy check-in process, to a video on how to use the spa, to a roku for streaming movies on the tv. We had 4 adults, 2 of which were over 70. We had 3 kids that were 3, 5, and 7. Our stay wasn't during the warmest week, so we did pay to add-on the heated pool which worked great. The pool was a little deeper than I expected, but our kids can swim pretty well so it wasn't a problem. We ended up spending a couple days in the pool and venturing out to San Diego on one of the days—which was just a short drive away. I'd definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to relax outside and visit surrounding venues.

Attentive owners and beautiful home
Our family trip started poorly with sick kids which happened to run through the family. The owners of the home were very attentive and accommodating and allowed for early check in, due to one child having gotten sick on the plane ride. The owners live next door so they also dropped off supplies such as soup, pedialyte, etc. to help! The owners were also VERY helpful and went over the top again when my husband forgot an important backpack on the property and the owner personally helped ensure the backpack was picked up by an Uber on our last day to be delivered at the airport with us. On to the house. We vacationed with my family of 5, my parents, and my brother and we felt the layout worked perfectly for our group. We very much enjoyed the pool and the hot tub! We were worried that the deep pool would be too cold in March to swim but it was quite nice and the kids spent every day in it! We would definitely rent this home again if we find ourselves in the area!
