Vacation rentals with lake access in San Marcos

Great hosts, convenient location, and the dreamiest oasis escape you could hope for. Will be coming back and staying longer next time!

Eldein is the perfect host, welcoming, friendly, easy to talk to, available to ask any questions or get any extra supplies. It felt like we were staying with a friend. His hospitality and generosity was truly heart-warming. One of us got sick during our stay and he went out of his way to help make us feel comfortable. This was our first time staying in Carlsbad and it’s a great location to explore the area all the way to San Diego. So many great places to visit and dine at in the area. His place was a great home away from home for our visit. Eldein’s place is located on a beautiful street, it feels safe and peaceful while being close to all the area’s attractions.

David and Luis were excellent hosts. Right there when we needed anything. Check in was easy, the property was absolutely gorgeous and a perfect getaway for a couple. We will 1000% be back

This was one of my favorite Airbnbs and was a magical experience curated by Etoile who was such a kind, thoughtful, and accommodating host. Her property is lovely with trees, plants, and flowers throughout and the cottage is a very welcoming and peaceful place. We sincerely appreciated the warm decorations and numerous little details she put into it to make it comfortable and unique. Taking a private outdoor shower in the sun with a view of Hodges Lake was amazing and I highly recommend her home cooked breakfast in the morning, we loved the omelette, French toast, and delicious smoothies while getting a visit from some hummingbirds, bunnies, and their sweet dog Cooper! If you get a chance to check out the healing yurt as well the massage, sound bath, and breath work were all wonderful and the best end to an incredible refreshing weekend getaway in Escondido. Thank you so much again Etoile we truly enjoyed our time with you and look forward to staying there again sometime!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Micah’s beautiful waterfront retreat. The peacefulness of the place was exactly what I needed for a relaxing getaway. The home is spacious, bright, and filled with thoughtful touches that made my stay even more enjoyable. The views from the living area are breathtaking, and I spent hours just admiring the serene lake. Micah was an exceptional host—responsive, attentive, and always ready to help. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a tranquil escape!

Had a wonderful stay here for a bachelorette party. Even with 6 people there was plenty of space and the backyard was just beautiful. We felt completely secluded in the backyard and there were so many places to sit and enjoy the views. Completely worth the price.

The house was very cute and cozy, very clean! My family and I had so much fun. The only thing that could have made it better would have been the weather, but that we can't change. 😊 Ryan and his wife are such amazing hosts, any question we had they answered right away, they also have some great places to visit and things to do while there. We will definitely recommend to our friends and family. If and when we get to go back to San Diego, I would love to stay there again!! Thank you you both for being so wonderful!!

We were in town and wanted to check out Scripps area. Last time we came we went to the zoo and ate all the time, but this time wanted to just chill with the kids and relax. This was one of the nicest places on Airbnb, but worth the price. Our kids loved the pool, the TVs, hot tub, and trails. We ate in, and the kitchen was great. When we did go out, the beach was only 20-30 minutes away. There were a ton of great restaurants in the area as well. Gary was the owner, and he was responsive and nice. He checked in via text, and answered any questions. It really was a great stay. For us, the place was worth it. Had a great stay, and got some real quality family time together. Highly recommend!

Excellent stay! Highly recommended
