Family-friendly vacation rentals in Vista

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.

Three Oaks was a lovely getaway! It was nice being a bit outside of town, very quiet & peaceful. The host was friendly, attentive & very welcoming. The bed was comfortable, something I have a problem with at most hotels I stay in. Will definitely come back on future visits to the area!

We had a terrific stay! Would definitely stay again. Fit our family of 6 perfectly!

You enter the house, a little uncertain. From the outside, a little underwhelming. You pass through the cosy living room, still a little underwhelming. And THEN, WOW. The pool area, the tennis court, the Vista to the west, the mountains...spectacular, breathtaking, everything as advertised and more. Back in the house, you find a very well stocked kitchen, extremely comfortable bedrooms, a unique "guesthouse" for the Seniors (in our case), and above all...everything in working order. Absolutely no issues! Bravo to our great landlord, who was a super communicator. Overall: our family of 12, across 3 generations, found wonderful places to be together as well as to disperse. A great time was had by all in this Vista Villa wonder!

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!

Our party of 7 (including two dogs) had a very comfortable, pleasant stay at this Carlsbad house! Cyndi was super responsive and communicative. So nice to have a bathroom for each bedroom. The location is awesome and near a fantastic park, grocery stores, etc. We enjoyed using the community pool and jacuzzi!

First, Justin is an amazing host! Top notch in communication, very friendly and helpful. Justin was accommodating and proactive with both check in and check out. Second, the house is very comfy and inviting. The grounds are beautiful and the minute we walked into the backyard it felt perfect. Serene and peaceful, I spent every hour enjoying the view. We bought firewood in town and had fires going outside and inside. Absolutely the best part of each day. (If weather is chilly bring firewood! So worth it)! This is the second visit to one of Justin's properties and we will seek out his listings each time we revisit the area. I highly recommend this place for those wanting to step away from a busy, hectic life and fall into a quiet and calm existence if only for a few days.

We had a wonderful weekend at this very unique space. The western theme is everywhere throughout all of the spaces, so no matter which room you stay in, you really get to enjoy the charm. There was so much to do, we never wanted to leave!

Staying at Nancy's place was a fantastic experience for my family, a family of four including two children. The house is beautiful and Nancy was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The kitchen is very well equipped, the front and back yards are lovely to sit in. The only difficulty we encountered was that we didn't have longer to stay! We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.

Stacey is the best hostess. Her house was so perfect for the 5 of us. We made beautiful memories and had so much fun! She has everything you need and the best part were the horses in the back who were the cutest. There is plenty of fun to do in the house with games and record player. We all felt like we were home...Very cozy and close to casino and Old Towne and lovely wineries. We definitely will be coming back. I have told friends and family they should stay there, as they will have the time of their lives and be so relaxed there! It was a dream come true for me and this house and Stacey made it possible!

Wonderful place. Exactly what we were looking for. Russell was very responsive

Even better than I thought! Spacious, clean and cute. Comfy beds, beach equipment, stocked kitchen and overall such a homey vibe. Highly recommend and will stay here again:)

Perfect location for our family of 5! Beautiful bathrooms, had everything we needed. Walkable and so many things close by! Loved the decor too.

Had a nice stay - check in instructions were a little hard to find but once we found the online portal they were pretty straightforward. Comfortable bed, nice shower head, and clean small studio space. Beach gear was provided which was a nice touch. Great location with easy free parking in the surrounding streets. Host was very responsive to any messages.

I had a wonderful stay here! Olga was incredibly welcoming when my friend and I arrived—she gave us a great tour of the place, which looked amazing. The space had everything we needed, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a warm and inviting experience!

Had the best time at Lance’s place! He was super responsive and helpful, check in was a breeze and the place looked even better than the photos! A cozy spot very close to bars, restaurants, shops and the water!

We are so grateful to have been able to stay at Gwynn's place, it is so peaceful and lovely. Like a secret garden getaway. We loved all the small touches, and beauty of the space. Gwynn made us feel very welcome and comfortable! The pool is amazing and the outdoor spaces are delightful. Can't wait to stay here again.

Place was very nice and worked well for us. Definitely keeping in mind for future visits.

Vanessa's place is in a very very quiet neighborhood just steps from the bay. I am a SD native, I know the city very well. I actually lived in the area for many years. This place is totally worth it if your traveling with a family with kids. Plenty to do, plenty of space to sit and relax inside and outside. It has plenty of things to keep kids busy from books to toys very very nice touch. If available when we return definitely will be staying here. The short walk to watch the sunset in the ocean is worth every penny..

Zach and Eva were amazing hosts! We truly can't imagine a more thoughtful couple. They were warm and welcoming and responded quickly to our messages. Their home too was impeccable--cozy and clean with all the amenities we could have wanted. We would be thrilled to have the chance to stay here again!

Super peaceful and relaxing. we were just my husband and myself but definitely enough space for a family or a 2nd couple. Leucadia and Encinitas are great communities and Michelles place is a perfect balance of being close to the ocean and Encinitas town. we took a walk along Neptune and had dinner at Leu Leu. or we drove in to "town" and had great meals there. even took in a movie at La Paloma theater. Michelle did a great job with directions and instructions. everything clear and easy. thank you!

Sarajane’s house was exactly as advertised, and was everything we expected it to be! She was extremely communicative, and very helpful with any questions we had, as well as recommendations for things to do with our two young boys! Would happily come back!

I recently stayed at this extraordinary ranch winery Airbnb home for a long weekend girls’ trip, and it was a five-star experience. Nestled amidst breathtaking landscapes, this property offers spectacular views and a serene escape. The home’s design perfectly encapsulates rustic charm, accommodating our group of 7 comfortably. Waking up to the sun rising over rolling hills and seeing hot air balloons above vineyards is magical. A highlight was the proximity to some of the region’s best wineries, including Longshadow Ranch Winery, just a stone’s throw away, with an impressive selection of delicious wines. Our stay was comfortable and memorable. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or seeking nature’s beauty, this ranch winery Airbnb is exceptional. I highly recommend it for a unique getaway. Can’t wait to return!

Our entire family felt very comfortable, safe, and impressed during our entire stay here!! We celebrated my daughter’s birthday….we went hot air ballooning, visited a few wineries, and visited a petting farm with our 6 year old and 3 year old grandsons. We enjoyed the swimming pool and hot tub. We were able to cook all of our meals everyday utilizing all of the kitchen equipment and bbq! I even had room to set up a bar for cocktails for all of us! The ping pong table and pool table was also enjoyed by all! It was a perfect place to have a family get together…7 adults and 2 kids! We discussed celebrating future birthdays (my 80th), thanksgiving dinners, and family milestones and we all agreed that this would be the perfect spot! Hopefully Stephanie will allow us to do these here!!!
