✈Private Resort Home♨ Heated Pool/Jacuzzi/Slide☀
Our experience at this property was excellent. The home was impeccably maintained, well-equipped, and featured thoughtful amenities. The host was professional, welcoming, and attentive throughout. Although we were well aware of the 9pm outdoor curfew ahead of time, it presented some minor challenges, but it did not detract from the overall quality of our stay, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Family Getaway ★ Pool Hot-tub ★4Bdr ★HVAC★Central
We had such an amazing week for our party of 7 family reunion!!! The house was exactly as described and so well stocked with amenities, most especially books, toys, and any children’s item you could think of for your young boys. Our family had tons of fun using the pool and hot tub, we definitely utilized the wide assortment pool/beach toys and floaties as well. We had a very good time with the special treasure hunt game which was amusement for all ages. Communication was top notch and the recommendations were much appreciated and spot on. We’re already planning our next vacation here again. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Château Vista Heated Pool Hot Tub 9 mi to Beach!
The house was incredible for our large group size (so many beds/pull out couches). Everyone had an amazing time! The location was great, the driveway fit all the cars, and the home was extremely clean and well kept. Amazing all around!

Private Getaway w Pool/BBQ/Firepit Large Backyard
We booked Suan and Jessica's place for Easter weekend. We had planned a trip to the Flower Gardens and Legoland in Carlsbad, both of which were less than 20 minutes away from where we were staying. Not only was the place conveniently located, it offered us a spot to enjoy our family's company and dedicate our time to our grandaughter. We barbecued, watched movies, swam in swimming pool, did our own arts and crafts, etc. We had an overall amazing time at a reasonable price without the chaos and limitations of booking a hotel room. We would definitely book this place in the future if we are in the area.

Kids Love Us! Legoland Home With A Pool
Stay was great, the kids loves the pool. They had lots of stuff we could use to tale to the beach which was great. Lots of supplies, I have rented places that were super stingy with everything, but this place had more of everything, including things we werent expecting, but needed.

Luxury Four Bedroom Home with pool and game room!
We had an excellent stay. The place was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. John was a wonderful host. We’ll definitely be back!”

Family Escape: Game Room/Bball Ct/Pool & Hot Tub!
Overall we had a great time with our stay. Lots of entertainment/activities at the house. Plenty of outdoor seating. Loved the pool and fire pit. The only hiccup was the cleaners didn’t make it out to the property prior to us arriving at the house. I contacted the hosts and they responded very quickly and made the situation right. So I was very satisfied with that. Our families loved the place, thank you for the experience.

Phuong was very kind and responded very fast. We were lucky enough to be able to get an early check in as well. We also left an item and Phuong was kind enough to mail it back to our house! The home was clean and beautiful and I will definitely come back next time I come to visit the area.

Spacious Beach Residence w Backyard Pond & Hot Tub
Alexander's place was the perfect California get away for our family vacation! The location was awesome just a short walk from the beach. The backyard was so big for California and great for our dogs. It had a lot of seating and a hot tub which was perfect! Alexander was very responsive throughout our stay. There is a train right behind the Airbnb that used it's horn loudly multiple times a day and until about 11 which was very clearly listed in the listing but if you are sensitive to noise it might bother you. We had no issues with the train.

The Ultimate Family Vacation Home | Hot Tub | A/C
This home was beautiful! Plenty of space for the seven of us for our girls' trip. Helen was an excellent host. She was very responsive to any questions we had. The property was well-stocked with towels and linen, and had a washer and dryer in case you needed to do laundry. The backyard is beautiful. Extremely flexible check-in/check-out options. I would definitely stay again.

Luxury New 2BR Home +Parking +Gated
Had a great stay! Everything was very clean looked exactly like the pictures. Jack was always responsive to my questions and any help I needed.

Sunset Vista - near Beaches, Legoland, Great Views
This home(Airbnb) was amazing. Private, Super clean and comfortable, and close to major highways to get to any activities, My family loved it. The kids especially loved the bunk room, which includes some toys, games, puzzles for the kids. Both bedrooms are spacious and the home is well designed and beautifully decorated. Host was friendly and proactive in checking in to make sure we had no problems with check in. We highly recommend this home. The Cross family.

Beachy Boho • 2 Bedroom • Encinitas
I loved staying here and walking everywhere. I would recommend to others.

Whole beach house with spa & pool!
Our multigenerational family of six enjoyed our stay at Dan’s Oceanside home, and we will definitely stay here again. If you value privacy, safety, and comfort, you will love Dan’s place for you and your family. We are a no pet, no smoking, no alcohol drinking, no shoes indoors, environmentally conscious family and Dan’s clean, comfortable, safe, and relaxing home was the perfect find. If you enjoy cooking like we do, the kitchen is well equipped with excellent quality cookware and appliances. The house does not have central AC but there are ceiling fans, which we used, and portable fans (which we didn’t need to use) as the house gets a nice breeze throughout. If you are sensitive to sound, you can definitely hear some minimal noise from nearby highway and trains, but nothing we couldn’t tolerate. Hot tub operation is remotely controlled and requires contact with Dan to be heated. House manual with information/rules to make sure everyone has a pleasant stay, is respectful of property

Cabin in the woods- self check in- free standing
I chose this location as a personal retreat where I could relax and work without distraction, and it didn't disappoint! The cabin is comfortable and the property is just gorgeous. I very much enjoyed sitting by the creek and reading, and working at the picnic table surrounded by trees and birds. There is also a very friendly cat who visited me while I worked. Cory is a friendly, helpful host, and as a woman traveling alone, I felt safe the entire time. I would gladly stay here again.

Newly Remodeled NOT Shared Beachfront Home W/SPA
This place was HEAVEN!! We fell in love with the place. The place was spotless and looked exactly like the photos. A 15 min walk to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the view from the couch every morning and the view from the lifeguard chairs in the evening. The Airbnb hosts were helpful and responsive. This place felt like home and can not wait to book again! Thank you!

Quiet, Tranquil 4 bedroom house
Our group travels annually for cycling trips and Tim's place worked fantastic for us. The outdoor areas were a hit for our group. The kitchen is well appointed and the bedrooms are separated from the common areas so they are quiet. Tim met us at check in and outlined the home audio system and kitchen. We would definitely enjoy staying at Tim's for future trips.

Bay Ho Main house
We rented this for my sister’s bachelorette and it was PERFECT! It was decorated very beautifully and was clean!

Carlsbad Treasure! 3b/3b, beaches, golf, fun!
Perfect place for our friends’ wedding! Great location and the place is super spacious.

The Turf in Del Mar
We have stayed here before, and the location could not be more perfect- it is so close to the beach and walkable to a dozen restaurants. The house is stocked with everything you need to cook to be at the beach (chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, etc) and is very comfortable for a family! Highly recommend.

Picturesque Spanish Casa on Ramona Hilltop
We stayed for about a week at Chana’s Casa. Arrival/check in was made easy with photos for guidance, the space was open, beautiful, and peaceful. We especially enjoyed the views out back and saw so much wildlife! Even a coyote! Chana and her partner were very quick to respond to any questions we had, and did so in a friendly way. As a group of four, we had plenty of space, though more may have felt a bit cramped. Sharing an Airbnb property can be a bit odd at times, but the other tenants (in the casita) were kind and we had no issues. Overall, a lovely stay with plenty of amenities and caring hosts! We fell in love with Ramona during our stay and would come back any time.
