We loved the view. Each family had their own room but then there was a lot of gathering space to meet together. Having an upstairs and downstairs living room gave plenty of space to recharge. RechargeConvenientlyConchita

We really enjoyed the size of the home. The location is great-seems like a nice neighborhood and close to shopping and Legoland/the beach. Lovely views and huge yard. The owner was responsive and kindly let us check in a bit early, which was really appreciated with 4 kids in tow. That said, we had several concerns. The accuracy of the listing: Bedroom setup was different than pictured (3 beds instead of 4 in the bunk room, a bunkbed instead of a queen bed in another). The hot tub listed was nonfunctional (and clearly had been for some time). We booked in part due to these things, so were really disappointed with the discovery. There were several minor annoyances, which wouldn’t have bothered us but taken with everything else added frustration- e.g. the pots/pans were severely used and flaking nonstick coating (unsafe for use) and at least 2 of the tv’s were impossible to use (one remote had been programmed by someone, but it made no sense and we gave up after 15 min of trying). The biggest issue, though, was the cleanliness. One shower had mold/mildew growing, the carpets were badly in need of shampooing (stains everywhere!) and the home really needs a deep clean- there were cobwebs in several locations, walls were visibly dirty, splatters were all over the kitchen ceiling, it looked like the home hadn’t been vacuumed/mopped, and there was a stale odor throughout. The home has the potential to be amazing, but as is unfortunately we can’t recommend it due to the above.

We were happy to have a location where all of family could stay together without being on top of each other. The residence offered a lot of space for each member of our extended family-14 total.

Great space for a large group.

Only a few of our family members were able to stay in the house due to a family emergency. They said they were really happy with the house and Andrew was great - very responsive! Thanks Andrew.

very roomy - lots of sleeping space. Only negative was the window in the front room - was not clean or clear.

In town for a wedding at Leo Carrillo in Carlsbad. This allowed 18 members of our extended family to be together and under one roof for the weekend. Plenty of space, clean and comfortable place, easy freeway access and proximity to shopping, etc. Loved it!

Andrew was an amazing host. He kept in constant contact prior to our stay. The home was the right size for our group of 12. Oceanside, Escondido, and San Diego were just minutes away. I would definitely stay here again.
