3 BR Urban Oasis with Pool and Spa in Great Area
The house is beautiful and well-appointed. The back yard is perfect for hanging out in the evenings with the lit pool and vibe-y blue and green lights and strung patio lights. The hot tub was hot and the patio had lots of furniture for lounging or eating meals together. It was the perfect size for our family of 4. I even enjoyed a fire in the fireplace on one of the chilly mornings while we were there. They supplied all the necessities for easily making a nice cozy fire. The living room TV came with Netflix logged in for the guests to watch and the surround sound was awesome during movie time at night. The neighborhood was so quiet with lots of people walking their dogs or running. There is a nice playground just around the corner from the house that we enjoyed one evening after swimming. My teens enjoyed walking down the road a just few minutes to enjoy all of the cool places to eat. The host was very responsive when I had a question about the pool. Overall a perfect stay!

Oceanside Outdoor Dream with pool , spa, and BBQ
My 2 colleagues and myself stayed here for a total of 8 nights as we were in town for a conference. It was brilliant and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend Oceanside and this property .

Southern California Luxury in Quiet Neighborhood
This is one of the most well thought out homes I’ve ever stayed at globally. The home is stunning and so well designed, even more beautiful than the photos. We loved how the pool was next to the master bedroom. This home has everything you need and more. Would love to stay agin!

Casa Del Oceano, Solana Beach
We stayed at Pete's place because it has a gorgeous pool (the pool slide was a huge hit), is close to Del Mar racetrack, and is close to the beach/ocean (you can see the ocean from the front yard). We took our two Bichons and felt safe and secure letting them out. We have family in San Diego and had a small family cook out on Sunday. The grill was awesome, and there are lots of fun things to do on the property, front and back yards. We didn't take advantage of the jacuzzi, but it was already heated up. Since the house doesn't have air conditioning, there were fans in the family room and bedroom. Large kitchen, so you can cook and bake if you don't want to eat out all the time. The house is single story, but outside there are lots of levels where you have to go up and down some single steps,so small children would need help and elderly or disabled folks may need help, too. Pete gave great directions about how to access the main entrance, and the self check-in security code.

Secluded Resort View Home. Salt Water Pool & Spa.
craig & julie’s place was absolutely stunning!! me & my now husband stayed there for our wedding weekend, it was the most beautiful getaway! upon arrival the house was spotless & any questions we had, craig & julie answered promptly! we also left our wedding cake and they helped to coordinate shipping it back home to us. would definitely stay here again!

Ocean View Poolside Retreat
I absolutely loved this place. There is so much to do within the home. The backyard is an amazing space with a pool/jacuzzi/ water slide, grill with fire pit, and yard games to include mini golf and ax throwing. The indoor space is equally amazing with a huge kitchen with everything you need , 2 lounging areas with TV’s, an Atari arcade game where you can relive your 80’s childhood and play pac- man and frogger. The bedrooms and bathroom were clean. The views from the home are beautiful, you can even see the ocean. My daughters live in San Diego and we live in Orange County so this was the perfect in between. It is close enough to the beach but far enough away that you don’t have to contend with beach traffic. It is also close to stores and restaurants but the house was so entertaining, we just stayed there all weekend, it was just perfect.

Gorgeous Farmhouse Style Guest House with Private
We absolutely loved our stay here in Solana Beach - we felt completely at home and wish we could have stayed a few more weeks to just relax and enjoy the amazing weather. The unit had everything we needed. It's a beautiful and peaceful space. The neighborhood is also every nice, and walkable, though you'd probably want to drive to Solana Beach and Del Ray. We would definitely stay here again!

*NEW* | Fire Pit | 3-Blocks to Beach | King Bed
We had an exceptional surf weekend at Nicole‘s place in Cardiff. Being able to walk to the beach was heavenly, and using the outside shower after surf sessions made it simple and easy to transition into relaxing chill time at the house and around the fire pit. The beach gear was perfect for those that wanted to relax on the shore, and it was in excellent condition, basically brand new! Nicole was very helpful and responsive, and it was very thoughtful of her to offer us early check-in when she noticed we were driving down from LA. We’ll be back!

Encinitas Home. Coastal Sanctuary with Mtn Views
Staying at Fortuna Farm Ranch was truly a magical experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by stunning views of rolling hills, lush greenery, and the calming sounds of nature all around us. The peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind and recharge. What made our stay even more special was the incredible hospitality of the host. He brought us the most delicious fresh fruits grown right on his farm—. It’s rare to find a place that feels both luxurious and grounded in nature, but Fortuna Farm Ranch does exactly that. Whether you’re looking to relax, reconnect, or just soak in some beautiful scenery, this place is a hidden gem in Encinitas. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
