A well-appointed home with a newly renovated kitchen. The rooms were comfortable, and when it was warm enough, the back patio offered a private little oasis. We loved how close it was to a local grocery store, a variety of different restaurants, and we discovered a really interesting historic park a few miles away. If you are a super lite sleeper, I'd suggest using a white noise app because the heater is a bit loud when it comes on. ##### Karen A.

The kitchen was very nice with new appliances. The beds were very comfortable with new linens. The backyard was great. The fire pit was perfect and we were able to have a few fires with S'mores in between rain storms. During the rain storms the covered back patio was a lifesaver. We were able to tay dry and watch the rains come in. The owner communicated very well and check in was very easy. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent again if we are back in San Diego again. ##### Brian Max O. Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna I.

The kitchen is beautiful and very well appointed, with new high quality appliances, and everything you need to prepare large meals. There are too many nice touches to list them all - from the comfortable furniture, tasteful decorations and abundant supplies. We loved the layout, including the very clean back patio, which felt like an extension of the living area. While we didn’t use them, there is a nice gas grill and wood fire pit area in the beautiful backyard. The owner even provided some firewood. The beds were all very comfortable, and the large primary bedroom suite was wonderful. The owner was also extremely responsive and accommodating. We would absolutely stay here again. ##### Donna I.

Sep 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Stay at Tory and Mark’s San Marcos Home My husband and I stayed at this home for 2 1/2 months this past summer. The home was very comfortable and inviting, and the neighborhood was quiet and safe. The home was recently remodeled and is tastefully done. The beds are comfortable and the soft sheets and duvets are a plus. The living room overlooks a lovely private backyard and you can see some of the San Marcos hills from there too. We especially enjoyed our daily walks around the neighborhood with access to San Marcos Lake or The Grill at Lakehouse for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The home is conveniently located with easy access to the 78 and all points south to the beaches. It was a 15 minute drive to our favorite golf course or the beaches, and many restaurants and stores are a short drive away. There is even an Albertson’s right around the corner from the property. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in San Marcos, and plan on returning next summer. ##### Pam R. Stayed 75 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cherlyn W.
