It was a quiet area. When we entered the house it had an unclean odor. It was an old house that wasn't kept up. The house was dirty. All the appliances were disgusting. The kettle had water and it smelled. The coffee maker looks like it hasn't been cleaned in weeks. The toaster was filthy. All the dishes, pots and pans were dirty. We had to wash everything we used. The sponge was old and torn. We had to buy a new coffeemaker and new sponges. We had to buy a Swiffer to mop the floor. It was grimy. Not enough towels. And the garbage disposal was broken!!!
I rented this for my brother and his family and they loved it! They found it comfortable and loved the location; a countryside location and feel, but accessible to activities. Next time he visits, he plans on staying there again!
Lovely home with a beautiful view, surprisingly close to where we needed to go. The host was amazing and allowed us to do an early check-in which was greatly appreciated. Definitely recommend!
The location is stunning! The home is well kept and beautiful. The beds are so comfortable! It was unfortunate that we happend to be there during a heatwave (daily highs of 105°!) Coming from the desert of Arizona, we are used to having air conditioning but they had plenty of floor and table fans to help move the air around. T
Our family stayed over Labor Day weekend. The house was perfect for the 4 of us. Karen was very fast on responding to my questions.
Very quiet location. Clean home. Nice afternoon/evening breeze. Close by to Escondido/San Marcos.
I would definitely stay here again when visiting the area.
The property is nice - no frills but comfortable beds. A good place to sleep and perhaps cook a meal or two. The hosts went the extra mile for us when there was a bit of a glitch re my VRBO account. Really appreciated that!!
Very clean. Loved the towels. Everything worked. House was cool inside even tho it was hot outside. Checkin and checkout Instructions were easy to follow and reasonable. TBH everything is dated, but is clean and in good condition.
Very comfortable for two couples and a single. Adventure to get to, great winding country roads and once you arrive there is a wonderful view from the deck. After a couple of trips we drove like the locals!
Had a wonderful time, this was a return visit to this property. Wonderful owners are on site and very responsive and helpful. This time we were not in charge of the dates since we were attending a wedding. We did hit very warm weather and wished for some AC! We would definitely return on our own schedule, when the temperatures are forecast to be a bit cooler!
Sweet and comfortable home conveniently located on the same street as the wedding venue!
The hosts were easy to work with and they even provided a wonderful pantry, fresh fruit, and delicious organic basil to enjoy! Comfortably fit 8, and the view and breeze from the deck was so relaxing. Thank you for a wonderful VRBO experience.
Karen was a great host. We arrived late at night in the darkness and were disoriented. She answered her phone and helped us get into the house while mentioning which were the best wineries to go to. The next day she made us banana bread and dropped it off on the front porch to give us privacy. We checked out their organic basil farm and got a delightful tour from Chris, the super friendly and knowledgeable manager. We had a blast and will definitely be back. Thank you Karen and Chris !
Location is away from everything but close to everything. The house is small and beautiful, Karen and Colin were great and fixed any questions we had quickly. Highly recommend the place and would definitely rent it out again!
