Thank you so much, Mel & Tina, for such an incredible stay! Our family of six had an amazing trip. The kids loved it so much they said they’d like to make it a yearly tradition and come back to the same home every year. There was plenty of space for all of us—and even room for my mom to join for a night! The view and the pool is incredible. We hope to come and visit again sometime. Thank you again!

Great base for our San Diego area vacation

We had a wonderful time. The views and property are gorgeous. We loved spending time by/in the pool and the house had everything we needed. Most days we traveled into the San Diego area for beach and tourist activities and the 45 min- 1 hour drive worked out just fine for us.

Great stay with great views

We absolutely loved this property! We are a family of 7 and we all enjoyed our stay here. It felt like a trip to the cabin with beautiful views. I enjoyed my coffee every morning on the back patio with the views and peace and quiet. Mel was friendly and we felt very welcomed. I loved how the outside of the property was decorated and the inside living room felt like home. We were able to relax, make food and spend time together with no problems. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Family Getaway

This property was amazing. Beautiful view, a nice backyard eating/sitting area, BBQ grill, and of course the pool. Mel and Tina were so nice. They checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Mel was even nice enough to show us around some of his car collection. The house was well kept and well stocked with everything we needed, including pool towels, board games, yard games, a cooler, and even an air bed. The pool was clean and we had a lot of fun playing in the pool every afternoon/evening. We had such a great time at this amazing house. We hope to be back soon!
