The property has lots of room inside and out. Our family kept quite busy with all the fun things to do on the property, which included putting on the putting green, swimming, soccer, air hockey, and ping pong. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes and utensils; we cooked almost every meal there during our stay of 7 nights. The beds are comfortable. The bathrooms are clean and spacious.

Beautiful house

Check in was clear and easy. The house itself was amazing: so many fun things to do, from the game room to the pool to the putting green outside. Everything was clean and lots of space so a perfect place for several families with kids to stay. Only drawback was the one time I reached out to the host during our stay to ask where beach towels were, I never heard back. But after our stay, the host was quick to help about a lost ring. So overall, a great experience.

Mo was very easy to work with. Communication was prompt and easy to understand. The backyard was fantastic and well kept with lots to entertain the kids. I do think the home needs some TLC, from dusting to mopping the floors. We would have been glad to mop if the tools had been there to do so (including a functioning broom). With a 11 month old baby crawling on the floors, it quickly became apparent that they had not been cleaned in a while. This is my only small complaint.

Everything you could want!

We had a group of 8 adults and 2 kids. Beds were comfy and the home had everything we needed. Our group utilized all the amenities over our stay. The game room was a hit as were the outdoor activity areas. Still lots of relaxing space for those who only wanted to chill. Super comfortable couches and chairs… and the massage chair needed a sign up sheet! lol. We didn’t cook much (grilled cheese for the kids only) so I can not comment on the kitchen much except to say that it served us nicely. Hosts were responsive and helpful and we found no issues Overall, we’d book here again!

Wonderful Place!

Our family loved this house! So much to do here. The pool and hot tub were such a hit! There is so much outside and inside seating which made it so comfortable for quality family time and meals. We also enjoyed the firepit and volleyball court. The game room in the garage and tv's inside were particularly nice to use during the property's outside quiet hours. It is about 30 minutes to San Diego where we enjoyed Sea World and beaches. The kitchen is well stocked with nice appliances. The grill outside worked great too. They have stocked the house with nice shampoo, conditioner and laundry supplies not just cheap stuff which we appreciated. The beds were comfy (not so much the futons for adults) and we had about the right amount sleepy spaces for our group of 10 adults and 4 kids (all under 8 yrs old) as well as a baby. The hosts are super responsive and kind if there are any issues. One of our kids started quietly crying on our drive home and when asked what was wrong he said, "I want to go back to the vacation house. It was SO much fun!"

room for the whole family

The property was clean and in good condition. No major issues. Some minor cosmetic issues — towel rack in downstairs bathroom fell in the middle of the night & startled us and a towel hook in an upstairs bathroom was half screwed into place and fell when a guest hung a towel on it — we fixed both of them with a leatherman, otherwise no issues inside. Plenty of space for a large family to spread out. Outside, there appears to be a water leak that keeps the lawn by the volleyball net muddy. We couldn’t use the grass area of the yard due to this, but the rest of the yard and pool area was available. Plenty of indoor and outdoor furniture to use and plenty of indoor and outdoor games available. We didn’t use the pool since it was cold during our stay. We used the jacuzzi without any issues; the app to control the water features and temp was simple to use. The grill provided a nice outdoor conversation space under a trellis which helped during cold weather. The fire pit was also a nice outdoor space for winter guests. No issues with other indoor amenities — we found the kitchen well-stocked for cooking and the garage arcade was a nice touch. Checkin was clunky. I had to call the management company and request access to the property after checkin time. Slightly frustrating after driving 8 hours and needing a restroom, but overall a minor inconvenience. I know this happens sometimes but I’ve had dozens of stays at other properties that made checkin simpler and more convenient. The real reason for deducting one star is the neighborhood. We were in the yard and noticed what appeared to be a neighbor staring at us and the kids and possibly taking video on their phone. I called out and he didn’t respond so we were concerned. I approached and asked why he was recording the kids and he ignored me. I told him we will gladly report perverts and he responded “we don’t like you being here” and walked away. It made half of my family feel uncomfortable to use the yard after that which unfortunately changed the tone of the stay for them. Some of us interpreted his comment to mean he did not like vacation renters, while some took it to mean he did not like people of color. I shrugged it off as petulance but it was an unpleasant experience. Ultimately we don’t hold the homeowner responsible for bad neighbors looking to sour a vacation stay that cost thousands of dollars. He seemed to be looking to cause a scene and likely will one day. Avoid the neighbors.
