Great property.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
This stay was incredible. We had a wonderful time. The home was extremely well equipped and directions were very clear on how everything worked. When we arrived everything was very clean and ready for the week of fun! They truly thought of everything when creating such a fun family-centered vacation spot! The view of the reservoir and surrounding mountains was so pretty, the pool and mini golf and basketball court was a huge hit with the kids and we enjoyed meals on the patio every day. There was plenty of space and more than enough things for everyone to enjoy! We had a hard time convincing ourselves to leave the house to hit the beach! Will hopefully return someday. Thanks for a fantastic stay!

Amazing week at this beautiful property! Gorgeous views and every outdoor activity you could ever want!Great floor-plan with comfortable space for all of our family members. House was meticulously clean and well equipped with everything for our stay. Location of the home was super convenient to everything in the Escondido and San Diego area. The hosts were super organized and helpful from beginning to end. We would absolutely return to this fabulous home!!!
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
The property was nice when we first arrived! However, there were also plenty of questionable situations that happened and doors and cages (yes cages) not listed in the photos/description of property! It felt as if someone was watching us from both inside the home and outside! It got to a point where we didn’t let the teens go out to the game room alone! There was also a complaint from a neighbor of a party being thrown on a Monday night … the owner called me early Tuesday morning to let me know he received the complaint at about 11pm! I let him know there was no party and at that time I was was cleaning the kitchen, washing bath towels plus pool towels and all the teens were in their rooms. When the teens all woke up we discussed the complaint and that’s when the boys told me someone was walking on the top of the game room roof and pounding on the side wall! I called the owner back to let him know but he did not answer! That evening my husband and I knew the teens were in the game room and since it was after 9pm (quiet hours) we walked backed there to see what we could hear, thinking maybe the TV was too loud (though that couldn’t have been mistaken for a party) but through the closed doors we couldn’t hear anything! My husband and I went in to remind the girls to not make noise on the way back in to the house and they quickly said “are you guys trying to scare us” and told us someone was banging on the side wall! So much more happened. Just be mindful if staying here!
