Perfect Spring Break Getaway for the Family
Four families booked this home together for Spring Break with the kids. The house ended up being perfect for our trip. We didn't have to hear "I'm bored" once. Gabe has done a wonderful job equipping the house with everything we needed for our trip. Other than some store runs for food, we were all set. Prior to the trip, some of us were slightly concerned that the house was a bit too far from downtown San Diego but we didn't have any issues getting to all of our planned excursions within ~20 minutes. Being just outside the city in a nice suburb actually worked out great and helped us relax that much more. Gabe was very responsive any time we reached out for anything. We would gladly rent this home again!

Amazing stay with incredible amenities
My group of 16 had a great time at this house. It was spacious with enough bedrooms and beds for everyone. The interior was clean and modern with tons of fun activities such as a pool table, shuffleboard, movie room, gym, sauna, and other arcade games. The exterior was beautiful, and we enjoyed hanging out in the pool and hot tub. My entire group agreed that this was the best house we’ve ever stayed in. Communication with Gabe was also smooth, and he was very clear about check-in and check-out instructions. He also was friendly, and helped us fix the hot tub remote one time promptly. We would love to stay here again. If you’re thinking of this house for a large group, don’t hesitate!

Great Family Time
This house was the perfect place for our family of 15 holiday celebration. Our teenagers enjoyed all the gaming areas...indoor and out. The outdoor kitchen area was a great gathering place. We all enjoyed the spectacular theater. The kitchen and laundry facilities are great for a large gathering. The bedrooms are comfortable, beautifully furnished, and arranged for flexibility of group sleeping. We had an amazing time and would definitely like to come back to this property.

Wonderful property!
We spent 6 days here for a family reunion with 23 people. There is lots of room to spread out and give everyone their own space. So many things to do in the yard, in the house and at the pool. Every evening the guys had a billiard competition while kiddos were in the theatre watching a movie. Lots of relaxing time sitting in the hot tub and letting the kids swim in the pool. Host was very responsive when we had questions. Loved our stay in San Diego and at this property!

When can we go back?!
This was easily, the best family home we have ever stayed in. Exactly like the pictures! Everything is perfectly thought out with so many little comforts and fun things to do. We took our children and young grandchildren, and all 18 of us had an amazing experience. So much room to spread out, and so many things to do that we never left the property. We had planned to do many things in San Diego, but we were having too much fun at the house. I am a travel agent and have traveled all over the world and stayed in luxury hotels, but for a family vacation, this was by far the easiest, most comfortable, and funnest thing we could have done! Highly recommend! Communication is quick and easy. Loved everything! We will be back!!

Best Family Vacation Home EVER!
This property has the backyard and interior appointments of a beautiful hotel. The decor is lovely, the pool and spa, outdoor kitchen(s) play structure, pool table, ping pong table, outdoor games, like corn hole, horse shoes and putting green make this an ideal family resort. My young adult and teenage family members said the theater room was the best they’ve ever used. There are double washers and dryers and 2 high chairs and pack and plays, a tiered shelf filled with board games, skee ball, foosball, air hockey, and three free standing retro arcade video games. 3 bedrooms 2 baths upstairs, 5 bedrooms 2 baths downstairs. There is also a fully appointed workout room. Everything you could want on a family vacation is contained in this home. We really liked that there were so many seating areas—a kitchen bar, table, another very large table and outdoor deck with another 10 seats plus the outdoor kitchen with bar stools and tables as well. It was about a 25 minute drive to La Jolla Shores and Mission Beach, as well as to the San Diego Zoo. Great pizza and Italian fare at Di Leone’s Italian Restaurant nearby as well as great Mexican food at Albert’s Fresh Mexican Food in El Cajon. Host was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to questions. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a great vacation stay in the San Diego area.
