What a wonderful property! It was in the country, quiet, and so peaceful, with all kinds of birds singing and abundant foliage. The hosts were so kind and accommodating--even letting us use their washer and dryer. We enjoyed just sitting outside and relaxing, petting the friendly cat (who loves Churu and Temptations). Everything was so comfortable, especially the large bathtub. Anything you might need was provided--from a Keurig to a fridge/freezer--even condiments. I would much rather stay here than in a hotel! What a blessing this Vrbo is in Escondido and I would highly, highly recommend staying here when you visit San Diego.

This was a wonderful place to stay—just the right size for what we needed. The location is peaceful and quiet, and the home had everything we could ask for while being out of town. The host was very responsive and communicative, always quick to answer any questions. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay and will definitely make this our first choice if we’re in the area again.
