Secluded Resort View Home. Salt Water Pool & Spa.
Our stay here was incredible!! Craig and Julie were wonderful hosts, very thoughtful and had great communication before and during our trip. The view was absolutely breathtaking! We felt right at home and hope to make it back here someday!

Kids Love Us! Legoland Home With A Pool
Amazing experience. Vi’s place was homey beyond expectation. My wife was very impressed with how available everything was especially in the kitchen because we are a family of 6 and always eating out would have not been cost effective. We felt right at home. My wife especially loved the complementary fruits, water, and treats. The kids rooms were packed with toys and books they could read and play with in their spare time which was amazing. The living room was filled with board games for the entire family. The garage also had amazing games for the entire family with foldable chairs and equipment for the beach and camping. There was so much to do in the house that staying in was not in the slightest boring. The entire family enjoyed the pool and the spa and had an amazing time especially on the days we stayed in. I certainly would be booking Vi’s place again anytime we are in San Diego.

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.

Bamboo Lake House-Tropical paradise & LOTS OF FUN
We had such an amazing time. So many activities to do at Kathleen’s. Our kids love the pond, swimming pool, fishing, pickleball, and appreciate all the outdoors amenities. Definitely a gem to visit for families. The home is a little dated. But all the outdoor activities make up for it.

Resort Style Home with Hot Jacuzzi & Relaxing Pool
What an incredible place to call home for a few days. This place had everything we needed to cook for our family, the pool and spa were amazing, and had some great hang out spaces for the family. Trevor and Heidi were quick to respond if we needed anything!

Stunning 3 bedroom w/Views! Game Room/Pool/Hot Tub
Wonderful host any questions we had she responded quickly and very helpful. The place was amazing plenty of room for the whole family. Comfortable beds and amazing kitchen well stocked and equipped with all the essentials to make meals. The pool/ hot tube was perfect and the game room was a huge hit with the kiddos and adults. we enjoyed the gas fireplace outside as well as the grill. Totally recommend, wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Stunning Views w/ Game Room, Pool and Hot Tub!
The views are stunning and the home handled our group very well. Loved the pool area and the game room. Also little things like plenty of K cups for coffee in the morning .

Spacious open floor with amazing Panoramic view
Guru quickly responded to my questions and was very accommodating. The house is beautiful and looks just like the pictures. All rooms are downstairs, only the primary bedroom is upstairs. We appreciated the quality of the bath products available for use.

PettingZoo HeatedPool Tropical Private 5-acre Rnch
Our party of 10 (including 3 kids ages 2/6/8 & 2 elderly people) stayed here for an extended family vacation and it was the perfect fit for us. The property was lovely & it felt like being at a villa. The room situation worked out great for us as my family of 4 stayed in the main house (kids on the sofa bed), my in-laws & BIL's family of 3 in the 2 primary bedrooms, & my single BIL in the private room next to the pool stairs. The kitchen was well-stocked for our needs & we did enjoy one afternoon in the pool since the weather was pretty cool. One of the reasons I booked this home was for the petting zoo that all ages ended up enjoying. We set up a time with the host & she graciously spent a good chunk of time letting us into the various fenced areas and sharing about her sweet animals. We got to visit with a llama, 2 pigs, several goats, a mini-horse, & a rad tortoise that my daughter and niece got to take a little ride on. Experience of a lifetime. Thank you for having us!

Live like locals 2
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Veronica's place! The house was large and very comfortable. Comfortable beds which is always nice. The kitchen was COMPLETELY stocked with whatever you needed. The house was immaculate! Plenty of linens as well. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. I am an interior decorator and was impressed by the decor and the simplicity of everything. So nicely done! Veronica was quite quick to respond to any questions we had, but we didn't have many because her listing instructions were so thorough. It was only my husband and myself, but the place is perfect for a larger group. I highly recommend her place! When we left, both my husband and I, commented on how much we enjoyed our stay and that we'd be back.

Light-filled 2 Bedroom House in Vista
Kirk and Stefanie were very responsive and respectful throughout our stay. The description matched the listing and the location was great for the needs of our trip. Cute little house with lots to do nearby.

Luxury Oceanside Hideout! Kid/dog friendly!
This airbnb was conveniently located and was as advertised. Place was clean and the check-in process was seamless. Would definitely check out other Wander locations in the future.

Cozy home backyard oasis North county San Diego
Viktoriya was a great host and the backyard was truly an oasis! Also the beds were sooo comfortable. If we are ever back in Carlsbad we will be staying again! Cannot recommend enough:)

Welcome to the Vista Pug House!
What a wonderful stay! Natalie was so friendly and proactive, which made us feel welcome before we even arrived. It's rare to find a place that is even better than the photos, but this was it. The entire home was immaculate, and we loved the artistic touches that made the space feel so warm and unique. We all slept so well—the beds are incredibly comfortable. It truly felt less like a rental and more like we were staying at the home of a friend with impeccable taste. And a special shout-out to your two pugs—though we never formally met them, their charming, invisible presence made for the perfect, quietest roommates and really completed the "at-home" feeling! The peaceful neighborhood and seamless process, from check-in to checkout, allowed us to truly relax. It's an ideal spot for a solo traveler or a small family of 3-4. Thank you, Natalie for sharing your lovely home with us! Highly, highly recommend. Canvas

Lux Family Estate with Arcade/MiniGolf/Pool/HotTub
As a family we really enjoyed our stay! The home was well appointed and was filled with so many great family activites and games that made the 'hang time' with the family, young and old, so easy! Zeina and Mo did a great job responding to our needs and concerns and we were grateful to be able to work with them. Would definitely consider staying with them again! The grandkids are already asking when can we go back!!

Custom Casita in Escondido
Beautiful Air B&B. We came to stay for memorial day weekend, and take our kids to the zoo and wild animal park. The location was gorgeous, it was clean and cozy, perfect for our little family. Michael was extremely responsive and nice. The pool, the view, the comfortable bed, I can't say enough about this place. As much as we like to stay at new places each time we travel - next time we make our way out towards San Diego, we would love to stay at Michael's place again. Thank you so much for opening your beautiful home to us !

2 BR Oasis w/ View Near: Safari | Wineries | Lakes
Alejandro and Magdalena were absolutely amazing. The home was wonderful and cannot wait to come back!

Strict No Parties, New Modern Clean Cozy Home
Cute, modern and quiet Airbnb with plenty of space for 4 people. Passable for a 3 night stay and was close enough to other major cities for the activities we had planned for our trip. Crystal was very responsive and the instructions were clear and concise. I have no negative feedback regarding the host. Only minor comment is in regards to the beds. They were very, very firm. Keep this in mind if you like a bed that's on the softer side. Outside of that, the place was very clean and had just about everything you'd need.

Entire Home, Newly Remodeled
Ron's place is wonderful especially for families. Everything was in order and clean. There is a beautiful backyard and even a firepit. It is so convenient and close to shops and Oceanside restaurants. Ron is a fantastic host, accommodating and helpful. We recommend Ron's place very much.

Lovely Coastal Cottage near Carlsbad beaches
Robin was a great hostess. She was extremely responsive but we didn' really need to communicate with her ince we were checked in. The cottage was a beautiful little space that was perfect for my two older parents. The area was quiet, off set from the main street but still close enough (5-15mins) to groceries, shopping and the beach. The cottage has plenty of ameneties for your stay and 1 spot for parking.

The Tortoise and Hare Hillside Retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! It was the perfect spot for us to gather with our large family and enjoy a family vacation. The drive to the beach and other fun things was not bad at all and it was nice because it was so quiet and peaceful at the home that it was nice to be a little bit off the beaten path. Our kids absolutely loved it there and were excited to return after our activities. We would highly recommend staying there!

Kid-friendly home in Escondido near Safari Park
Leah’s place was perfect for us and two of our grandchildren. We had initially planned for all three grandkids—and possibly one or two parents to join later—but it ended up being just the four of us. The home was extremely clean, well-maintained, and had so many thoughtful touches that it’s hard to list them all. Leah was also incredibly responsive and helpful whenever we had questions or needed anything. Highly recommend! We will be coming back late fall/early winter and can hardly wait!
