Beautiful, fully equipped house. Everything was super comfortable, from the living room furniture, to the dining room table and our bedrooms. Backyard just spectacular. Tom was great, answering questions right away. Very quiet, peaceful area. Pool and hot tub probably our favorite way to spend a vacation ever. Thanks so much.
EVERYTHING you need is here to enjoy whatever kind of stay you desire. It couldnât have been more convenient visiting both the top-notch San Diego Wildlife Safari or the LegoLand Park along with Wohlford Lake and Daley Ranch for morning hikes. We loved it!
This property was absolutely stunning! My daughter, two friends and I stayed here for 4 nights and it was wonderful! The house was clean and well stocked, the pool was beautiful and a very comfortable temperature. I would highly recommend this place to everyone I know and would go back in a heartbeat! Tom and Cindy were easy to communicate with and you can tell they take very good care of their home and their guests.
We had a fantastic stay. Tom is a great host, very friendly with good communication. The house is more beautiful than all the pictures can express. A wonderful pool, the kids had a lot of fun.The kitchen is very well equipped, there is everything you need.Another highlight are the orange trees in the garden.
The house was gorgeous. Perfect for the six of us to stay before a wedding. The wonderful owner and housekeeper were so sweet and it was stocked with everything we could need! We had so much fun. Go Bears!!
We had a great experience at this rental. It is located in an area that is private and the property is very well maintained. Our host was very helpful and attentive. Upon our arrival we found several welcome gifts that were much appreciated. The space was clean and inviting. We hope to be back!
Stayed for 3 days for our annual chick trip and everyone loved this beautiful home. Tucked into the hills with a most amazing view, you truly feel like you are away from it all. Clean and comfy with a well equipped kitchen, we all agreed we would come back to this lovely and inviting home, no one wanted to leave! Besides being a few loungers short for all that wanted to lay out by the pool, we couldn't have asked for more, thanks Tom!
We were greeted with a thoughtful "Welcome Basket" of wine and fresh citrus from the owner which was a perfect start to our vacation. We quickly accommodated ourselves to the beautiful property and fantastic views with a refreshing dip in the infinity pool. What a great time!
Reasonable driving distance to beaches, Wild Animal Park, and Sea World. In fact it was only an hour drive to Thousand Steps in Laguna Beach (which I highly recommend). When we weren't enjoying activities kids and adults both enjoyed the beautiful pool and relaxing spa. This property will be at the top our list to book the next time we visit.
House was well-appointed, spacious and clean! Kitchen is well stocked with more than basic necessities. Property was huge and have available private walking trails! Views from the backyard and pool area are amazing! Neighborhood is super quiet and is perfect for a getaway!! Lastly, freshly squeezed OJ every morning canât be beatâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžHost is easy to communicate with. Thank you very much for the stay!!
Our family had the absolute best time at this home! The pictures online only gives you a glimpse. The view in the backyard is breathtaking. You can see it from the living room, the kitchen even the master bedroom. The house was very clean and stocked with more then we expected. Definitely would stay here again.
This house is amazing. Better than advertised. Hosts were perfect, around but not around. Kids loved the pool, hiking trails and picking fruit. The oranges are excellent! We will definitely try and stay here if we are in the area again. Thanks Tom for sharing your home.
We loved this spacious property that lived up to the posted images and description. Most enjoyable was the pool, the views and opportunity to squeeze fresh orange juice each morning from fruit picked from trees in the yard. The perfect place for peace and quiet and privacy. Be prepared to travel 20 + minutes for restaurants and activities. This rental appeared in search for La Jolla which was misleading.
Normally, our vacations are on the beach or very close to one, so we were a little concerned about being so far away from everything. I have to say, it was the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation I have ever had! The pool and hot tub were fantastic and the view was just amazing! Tom and Cindy were excellent hosts. The house is exactly as the description states. It was very clean and the beds were so comfortable. Made going home very hard! We would definitely stay there again!
We really enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous house. Lots of space for a family for 4. Every amenity you could think of. If you enjoy cooking, you are in heaven in a beautiful kitchen. The pool was very much enjoyed by all of us, but especially my kids. The spa was great to soak in at night after a long day out visiting the sites of San Diego. The best thing were the little extra touches that I've never seen in any other VRBO rental - the bottles of wine, the pizza, the full pantry. We especially enjoyed having the small orange orchard on the property and had fresh orange juice daily. If we're ever in this area again, we'll definitely rent this house in a heartbeat.
The owners are totally attentive pre-arrival and during the stay which was extremely helpful. They provided an atmosphere of ease and comfort with the use of their lovely home. No question went unanswered and their hosting was remarkable. The home was perfect for a weekend get away from busy LA. Very quiet and spacious, it almost felt a world away! Would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for some quiet private time. The rooms are all good size and comfortable. The open floor plan allows for perfect entertaining. Didn't want to leave the property whatsoever. A hidden gem! Amenities and use of the home is easily accessible.
10/10! Tom was on top of all the communication and was so helpful before and during our stay. We started by touring the orange grove and property which was just amazing. The greens and plants outdoors were so beautiful. The pool and spa were a favorite for the kids, and mom and dad loved the large well stocked kitchen for cooking family meals. The house was very comfortable for a family of 6. Oh, and one thing that usually goes unmentioned, I loved the nice big laundry room. It allows us to pack less and go home with clean laundry. The welcome items were very thoughtful and appreciated. So glad we chose this location for our family vacation!
Our family of 6, with 4 kids ages 14-7, were all very pleased with our 5 night stay. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. The house and pool were very clean and well cared for. The kitchen and bathrooms are stocked with everything you need and more. We loved the quiet nights with all the nature sounds and star filled sky. The kids loved picking fruit from the trees on the property. Tom and Johnathon couldn't have been more helpful. Tom would respond to messages with questions within minutes. This home was a great place for our family to wind down our CA vacation. We would definitely recommend it to others.
My family of (3) rented this lovely estate for my spouseâs birthday after having another host cancel on us(which was the best thing that couldâve happened.). My family and I ended up finding this beauty of Tom & Cindyâs immediately after. They were both absolutely great hosts and even had welcome gifts as well as a clear booklet of valuable information waiting upon our arrival. The scenery is absolutely amazing as well as the outside area and pool/spa. Everything inside the home was stocked, including a first night meal, appliances, toiletries and etc. which was easy to find therefore, making a stress free vacation. Iâm struggling to fit everything into a summarized review but please donât hesitate to book this listing. My family and I will book again guaranteed and you will surely miss out on an amazing experience if you hesitate.
Our family unanimously agreed this is the BEST rental vacation home we have ever, ever stayed in. We wanted a private pool, comfortable home, quiet area that was a reasonable drive to San Diego's attractions- THIS. HOME. DELIVERED. I do not have a single complaint. If you like to cook, this home is a dream. Fully stocked spice rack, all the tools you need, an outdoor grill, fresh oranges in the grove on the property- it has everything.
The beds are VERY comfortable, the home was spotless- seriously amazing.
The host, Tom, was communicative, gracious and went above and beyond. Our family will, without a doubt, be back. :)
Awesome property outside San Diego (30-40 minutes to the beach) with beautiful gardens and large heated pool/ spa with views of the Palomar mountains. Spacious house was very clean and well-stocked with everything we needed during our week stay, including a juicer for the fresh oranges! Easy communication with Tom & Cindy, who were great hosts!
My family really enjoyed staying here. It is a beautiful home with a great swimming pool and hot tub. The area is quiet and the weather was great. My kids loved playing foosball in the loft and they even have a horseshoe game set up. They have lots of orange trees on the property so we had fresh squeezed orange juice every morning. The kitchen is fully stocked with every utensil or pan needed, the bathrooms were fully stocked, and the beds were comfortable. We loved our stay at this house and would fully recommend it to all.
Absolutely beautiful home, photos do not do it justice! Gorgeous pool and spa area. We enjoyed the trails and citrus orchard. Only 30 minutes to SD Safari Park. Very much appreciated the paper products and pantry staples. Beds were clean and comfy. Would definitely return.
We have enjoyed working in real estate since 1984, because it's not just a job, it's our passion. My wife Cindy and I purchased an undeveloped 5 ac piece of land in rural Valley Center in 2001, than built our dream home. Cindy and I are now traveling a lot and we look forward to staying at other vacation homes. We do not smoke, we take pride in maintaining our home and property. We enjoy knowing that other families are enjoying our home while we are out of town experiencing other cultures.
This awesome 3 br 2.5 ba estate built in 2003 with EV Charger and a private completely fenced awesome infinity salt water pool/spa view back yard.

This country get away will sleep up to 6+2 in the loft fully furnished, you will enjoy picking & eating all the organic fruit you can eat just out your back door and make fresh orange juice every morning.
