This property is beautiful and spacious, ideally located for visiting beaches and San Diego attractions. Our family especially enjoyed the privacy of accommodations as well as the large areas for family gatherings and meals. Our daughter’s comment as we were departing the property was “I want to return here next year”.

Beautiful property with plenty of space for larger groups. We had 10 couples (late-twenties to mid-thirties) and every couple had their own room and only 2 couples had to share a bathroom. Everyone loved the sport court, yard, pool with jacuzzi and water slide, game room, kitchen, and living areas. The property is well-maintained and you can tell the owners still enjoys time there and do not solely operate the property as a rental. This is a pro in that the house is well-stocked and very comfortable. The artwork is incredible and all the furniture is high quality. The beds and linens are especially luxurious. However, all of the bedroom closets, the garage, and several other storage areas are locked off because they contain personal belongings, so you have to use the portable clothes racks they supply in each room and cannot put your luggage away. Also, we didn't really mind, but some of the decor and family photos throughout the house were a bit unusual for a VRBO. The owner, Rebecca, was very warm and welcoming, and greeted us shortly after check-in. She was responsive and accommodated our early check-in (no additional charge) and late checkout requests ($200 for noon checkout). Note, she warned us not to make noise outdoors after 9 PM, and she did show up to enforce this rule and the cops were called on us at 9:50 PM. There were some areas missed by the clean-up crew and some furniture seemed out of place when we arrived, but overall, we were happy with our stay.

The property was as advertised as it relates to the beautiful home and fun amenities (sport court, theatre room, etc.); however, the listing did not mention that the owners would be staying in the caretaker's house during our stay. While we were enjoying the sport court, the owners frequently drove by making our group feel as though we were being watched throughout our stay. Although the owners did say they were going to be onsite during our stay and offered a full-refund, they didn't mention this caveat until I was onsite at the beginning of our stay while the rest of my group was in transit (a few from out-of-state). I had no other option but to acquiesce to this environment because it would have been extremely difficult to locate, book, and alter plans for my group the same day. I would like to reiterate that the house is indeed beautiful; however, we were disappointed that we didn't receive advance notice that people outside our party would be on the premises.

We recently booked this VRBO property for our company retreat, and it surpassed all expectations. The spacious and well-equipped accommodations provided plenty of room for our team to work and relax. The host's attention to detail and hospitality made our stay truly exceptional. Overall, we highly recommend this property for anyone seeking a perfect venue for their next retreat or gathering.

Rancho del Fresco is wonderful in every way … From Rebecca’s warm, kind and generous hospitality, to the gorgeous property with its incredible amenities, our family of 24 (from our brand-new infant grand nephew to our ninety-year-old matriarch) enjoyed every minute of our family gathering over this past Labor Day weekend. We had plenty of space to gather together or spread out and do our own things (oh, and what lovely spaces …); Rebecca’s recommendation of a private chef was spot-on; everyone had a real comfy bed; so much was provided for and with such thoughtfulness --bed and bath linens; powerful laundry resources; well-stocked kitchen supplies; etc. We could go on and on …, but we will just say we felt so sad leaving. Our warmest thanks to Rebecca and family for sharing their magnificent home with guests so that we and others could create such sweet memories with our own family too!
