We had an INCREDIBLE time! I'm a Vista local whose friends were coming into town, and felt like I was a world away in this little hidden gem. Driving into the narrow, wooded driveway immediately transports you to what feels like your own private oasis. We enjoyed nearly all the amenities: went out on the lake, swam in the pool, said hi to the chickens alongside the tennis court, our kids played in the playhouse, we BBQd and made s'mores over the firepit. The Bamboo lake house had everything our little families needed and MORE! We are already talking about coming back for another weekend. I can't recommend this place enough!

I rented this home for my family to gather from various parts of the country to celebrate my grandmother's 92nd birthday who lives in Carlsbad. I was hoping that it was at least remotely like the photos. I must say it far exceeded our expectations. Absolutely beautiful property and the host Kathleen was absolutely wonderful. Pool, hot tub, lake, paddle boat, fishing, tennis court...all private. I highly recommend and we will definitely be booking again in the future.

Nana’s birthday slumber party

There was something for each of our family of 9, ages 6 through 71 to enjoy while staying the Bamboo House. The house is spacious and well equipped. The grounds are mature and maintained well. Everyone enjoyed time at the lake. The hosts graciously provided everything you didn’t even know you would need. If you are looking to build some core memories you will find them here.

Very Fun Property!

This property is beautiful. It's in the heart of Vista but you feel like you are on an Island Paradise secluded from everyone. Yet you can get to dozens of restaurants, bars and fun activities within minutes from the property. We had our family there, including 3 children under 5. There are lots of fun activities and toys/games for the young ones. Huge Fire Pit and gas grill. The best was the fishing. Our 5 year old grandaughter caught her first fish there on our first night. We loved using the paddle boat on the lake. We will definitely come back!

Fun, Relaxing and Wonderful

This place has beautiful tropical landscaping, lots of places to spread out (if desired). It was amazing. Great privacy and serenity. We played group ping pong (laughed our butts off), swam in pool, fished, sat by the fire pit and used the boats. Wonderful place for our family reunion (4 generations). :)

Wonderful local get-away for two families

We wanted to go somewhere close to home for a short get away and this house was perfect! Between two families, four kids ages 6-9 had the time of their lives. The lake is beautiful and we caught five fish! They loved swimming in the spa and pool, and the tennis court was great too. Beds were extremely comfortable as well. Would recommend to anyone, especially families!

Vacationer Beware!! Do not stay here!!

Arrived and left as soon as we could! Property not as advertised and misleading. Pool and home are not private! Rental is a single home split in two and pool is surrounded by owners side. Pictures are ancient and do not depict what you are actually renting! Lake/pond over grown like a swap. Advertised playhouse/structure was dilapidated and unsafe for use. House was filthy. Could go on and on, but you get the idea. Don’t stay here!
