Just had the best mini vacation before our 7 yo starts school tomorrow. Stayed 4 nights and could have definitely stayed more. The house is BEAUTIFUL. It's large, well kept, and very organized. It has everything you'd need and want for a relaxing and majestic vacation with your family or friends. The beds were very comfortable. The layout of the house was fun and wonderful. The private pool was amazing (heated so perfect temp to swim in at night and in morning). We walked to the beach each day and the drive to a nice swimming beach was only 5 minutes. Highly recommend drinking your morning coffee on the balcony and ordering or making dinner and eating it on the balcony during sun set. We spent a full day at the house on Saturday (no going out or beach time) and it was incredible. The ping pong table board games offered endless fun and each tv has different streaming platforms you can put on when the kids need a break (and the parents too :) ). The stairs in the house were really kid-friendly in my opinion. My 2 year old walked up and down the stairs really easily and safely with the railings. Never felt concerned about falling down the stairs. We ordered our own groceries and made breakfast and lunch each day in the HUGE kitchen. Another enjoyable aspect was the bamboo outside that you could enjoy while eating a meal at the dining room table. OH - and the house offers surf boards and boogies boards, beach umbrellas, towels, and beach toys for guests and we used it all!

We took the family- older adult children, their spouses, and our 2 grandchildren. We moved our daughter into Cal State San Marcos early in the trip and it was an easy 25 minute drive there. We really enjoyed the large balcony patio with ocean views and watching the surfers coming through each morning and all day. We also spent a little bit of time in the small private pool that has a nice lagoon step for small ones or lounging. The ping pong table was fun and the open living area/kitchen allowed us all to enjoy family time with plenty of space for the grand babies to play too! GrandView Beach is steps away but this beach is mostly rocks and meant for surfing. However, 15 minutes away is one of the best beaches we’ve visited, especially for the grand babies- Moonlight Beach. We walked to dinner and a really cool craft brewery which were easy 10-15 minute walks from the home. It seemed like anything you wanted to do was an easy 15-30 minute drive- escape rooms, restaurants, you name it. There was parking inside the gate for 2 cars. The left is reserved for the owners who stay in the back unit. They were all very friendly and hospitable. There are plenty of towels, including beach towels. The kitchen has all you need to cook. Overall, I don’t think you can find a better place with the view, amenities, and mainly location for the price. Would definitely recommend.

The stay was amazing. It was the perfect getaway weekend trip to celebrate my mom's big 80th birthday as a family. The house had all the amenities and then some. The kids had a blast using the pool every day, which was their favorite part. The beach just down the street and local shops and eateries are close by within walking distance as well. Beautiful sunsets were enjoyed each night on the upstairs balcony with a glass of wine in my mom's hand each time. It's unfortunate that the house across the street has a high-level second story, limiting the ocean views. We were fortunate to meet the owner, Rick, an awesome guy who was able to show us how to turn on the pool jet and waterfalls...thanks again Rick and Julie! Overall, their home was exquisite and I would definitely like to visit again, when possible. Thanks again for helping provide an amazing experience for our family and all of the awesome memories we had experienced together for my mom's 80th birthday weekend celebration!

Beautiful house with everything you need for a great vacation. Pool is decent size and bigger than we expected. Beach access across the street. Lots of restaurants in the area. Very California experience with surfers passing along the street to the beach all day. Definitely recommend.

Great location, and a wonderful home very close to the ocean.

Tidy place and great location - had a good stay.
