I had my 15 year college reunion and our expectations were extremely exceeded! We had the phenomenal ocean views, amazing decks, spacious rooms, and short walk to the local restaurants and couldn't have asked for more. But, then we got exactly that with the indoor pool, which we spent hours in. We're hoping to return there for our annual reunions going forward!

I rented the beach house for an informal reunion with my college roommates. We could not have had a better experience and plan to return there annually for our reunions going forward. The location right on the water is incomparable and we were able to quickly walk to the local restaurants and shops. The indoor pool was a plus we didn't even ask for, and we used it all weekend. I couldn't recommend this house more highly!

Great Coastal Escape from the busy Metropolis.

This was a fantastic place to stay for the week! If I could give it more stars I would! My San Franciscan family and I went to visit San Diego for a conference and decided to stay at this rental as opposed to staying at a hotel. Our intention was to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and wanted to kick back to a slower more relaxing pace for a week.

What a great choice it was to stay at this property! The kids loved the indoor pool and my husband and I loved the view from the deck of the Master bedroom. The surrounding beach city of Encintas is so quaint and we were walking distance of restaurants, a seaside bazaar and plenty of shops with various curios. Chris and her staff and the owners were so helpful whenever we needed some advice about the area. There are plenty of beds and sleeping space if you are planning to have your extended family stay. If you have any teenagers that need to be connected to technology there is wireless internet and satellite TV.

I have to say that the best part of the day are those moments right between day and night when the sun is setting. Sitting out on the balcony drinking some wine and listening to the crashes of waves is perhaps the most relaxing moments of my life. You should definitely think about staying here for your next vacation.

Highly highly recommended vacation rental!

We just returned home to Arizona and I wanted to drop you a line about how lovely your house was to stay in.
It was so very comfortable and easy to relax in. We weren’t there too much of the time but when we were, we were able to unwind. The kids liked having their own pool, as did Mark & I.
Your decorating is magnificent! I came home with ideas on colors, curtains, lighting, etc. It really inspired me to make some changes to our house in Scottsdale. I can't wait to come back as I miss having our own swimming pool in the living room!

Worst Vacation Home

Katie (Poway, California)
Review submitted: July 29, 2010   Date of arrival: July 10, 2010

This property was invested with ants from the beds to the kitchen, windows & gardening were filthy. The appliances didn't work, garage door about to fall off, and with daily calls and complaints the owner did get workers, pest control out to the property but I spent x4 days of my vacation with clean up crews. All these items needed to be attended to before a client arrives. The house is old and dirty, musty smell...and so expensive.. beautiful location but beware!
