Perfect For Families!!

We stayed here for our family reunion. We had 17 people and we all slept comfortably! It was a perfect location. This property had so many different options for fun that we rarely left! The pool, hot tub, lawn games, volleyball court, basketball court, pickleball, game room and the over all comfort and spaciousness of the home made it a perfect place for our family reunion!

Great Property, Amazing Host, But That 10am Checkout...

This property was fantastic! It was well-maintained, beautifully set up, and offered a variety of entertainment options that kept our group engaged throughout our stay. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, addressing any minor issues promptly and with a great attitude. We truly enjoyed our time here and would definitely consider returning, with one important caveat.The 10am checkout time was a significant drawback. While the property itself was wonderful, the early checkout put unnecessary pressure on our group, especially considering we were traveling with a baby. It's supposed to be a relaxing holiday, not a rushed morning trying to meet a strict deadline.Furthermore, most of our group had a long-haul, overnight flight that evening. Waking up early, spending the day exploring, and then enduring a 16 hour red-eye flight after a rushed checkout was far from ideal.We understand that hosts have schedules to maintain, but a little flexibility would have made a huge difference. Even a 15-30 minute extension, which is fairly standard in our experience, would have been appreciated. In fact, in over 10 years of staying in vacation rentals and hotels, this was the earliest checkout time we've ever encountered. Frankly, a later check-in time would be much preferred to such an early check-out.Overall, we highly recommend this property, but urge the host to reconsider the checkout policy to provide a more relaxed and enjoyable experience for future guests.

Amazing stay in paradise

This was hands-down the best short-term rental I've ever done. The house is even better than the pictures suggest. It's super spacious (we stayed with 9 adults and 5 kids 3 and under). There is so much to do that you don't have to leave the house if you don't want to. We had the pool heated and it was just perfect. Once you're in, you almost don't want to get out. I appreciated that the hosts took exceptional care of everything. Everything is clearly labeled, instructions provided, working and sets are complete. The kids loved the pool, the grass patch outside and of course the game room. We had to drag them out of there :) Escondido is a perfect location with big stores close and we had Whole Foods delivered a few times. Nice shops in downtown Escondido as well. The Safari Park was less than a 15min drive and we got memberships and went about 4 times in 2 weeks. Absolutely perfect and this is the first time that I'm thinking of coming back to a rental.

Nice touches!!

The property and the home were wonderful! Mo was always quick to respond and easy to work with! I agree with the other reviewers on the many great features. I wanted to tell a few of the small, but really nice, touches in the home. The kitchen was huge and had an abundance of cabinets and drawers. This home is the first home we've stayed in that actually labeled each cabinet and drawer. The kitchen was so well stocked with cookware, utensils, dishes, spices, etc, that the labels were very appreciated! The landscaping was filled with gorgeous succulent plants in colors that were amazing. Every bathroom shower had large Pantene shampoo and conditioner, also shower gel. The beds were comfy! My skin is sensitive, so I always have to pack my own sheets, but I definitely didn't need them. The sheets on all of the beds were heavenly soft. Lots of nice little touches!!

Hard to be bored with so much to do!

The property was very clean and ready for family fun. It took a day to become fully comfortable with spa/pool controls and A/C use, but all functioned accordingly. Plenty of areas to spread out when needed, but also most areas were large enough to accommodate all guests at once. Plenty of retail nearby but you still have a very rural setting at the house.

This was our 9th annual family vacation and this property was one of our favorites. Everything was very clean. There was plenty of space for our group of 12. The adult children loved the detached game room. There were several different sitting areas around the property. The only thing we needed was some dish towels in the kitchen to keep counters wiped down and I would have liked pots and pans without Teflon. Other than that we would all highly recommend this property.
