We lived in this charming apt. for 6 months while our new house was completed and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The cottage is very well maintained and the landlords friendly and accommoding. We would recommend this well-appointed get-a-way spot without reservation.

This property met our every expectation.

Love this place! It is close to my daughter, private, even a small fenced patio to enjoy sitting out in the evening. The place is immaculately clean, and has all the amenities. It is in an upscale neighborhood and I really enjoy being able to take a stroll and feel safe. The bed, like none other. We have reached out to Chad and Rose, the hosts, to see if we can't buy the same matress for our house. The best bed ever, and I have traveled extensively, lots of 5 star hotels, nothing beats this! We will be back, great place, great value.

It honestly is hard to make sure I hit all the high points, there are just so many great things I want to mention. Let's start with clean. I think I am a very picky housekeeper, so much so I never expect to be wowed by the cleanliness of a rental. Well, now the bar has been set, the place was immaculate. Location, again, I couldn't have asked for more. Private entrance, you park feet from the door, easy. Loved the neighborhood, the gentle hills of Vista, yards and homes well kept, pride of ownership was evident throughout the neighborhood. Safe, clean, beautiful. My husband and I took a long walk every morning before heading out to be with our daughter and granddaughters. Furnishings, impressive. I love to cook, while I knew this Christmas visit would not be the time for me to cook, other times would. I could cook anything in that well appointed kitchen. I should have such a nice range at home! The dishwasher was a new Bosch, so quiet, run it anytime! Refrigerator was a new Whirlpool, again looked like it had never been used it was so clean. Linens, the bed, wow. Both my husband and I wear sports watches, and we had all time high scores for sleep, when does that happen on a trip? The mattress was fantastic, we took a picture of the brand, and are planning on buying one. Sheets, towels, all top quality. We have been searching for a place to come when visiting our daughter and family. We have tried more than a few by owner rentals and hotels, none really wanted to repeat. Now we have found "our" place. Selfishly, I might want to keep this a secret, but, I can't do that to my fellow travelers nor these fantastic owners. Happy travels to all, and this place is a traveler's dream come true!!!

Very updated with many amenities. The unit is an extension of a primary residence and in a neighborhood where homes are very close together yet, I never heard anyone. It was very private and I felt safe. I would recommend this for someone staying in the area for sure...

We stayed here while visiting our son who is a Marine and deploying soon. It was a peaceful nights rest when our hearts needed it and super clean and designed simply. We would highly recommend this get away.

Great place to stay, I would go back again.

Great place to stay for some solitude, privacy, and quiet time. Also very easy freeway access for daytime excursions further south. I would recommend to friends and family in the future.

This property was absolutely perfect for my daughter and I. We were in town for a soccer tournament, and we absolutely loved staying here. The unit was really done well, with everything we needed. The decor and furnishings really create a relaxing, comfy, and cozy vibe. I loved the back patio to enjoy my morning coffee! I have stayed in many VRBO's, and this is one of my favorites! I am looking forward to our next stay here as it looks like we'll be back for soccer several times a year ;-) Thank you Chad and Rose for your attention to detail, and creating a really amazing home away from home!

This is a wonderfully quiet and relaxing guest house...newly remodeled with an eye for good quality workmanship and furnishings...and absolutely darling!! We couldn't have been happier with one exception...it's doesn't as yet have air conditioning...we solved that by renting one at a nearby business...sounds like they may install air conditioning! The appliances are shiny bright and clean, as was the entire property. Everything functioned beautifully! The living room was very comfortable for two! Lots of gorgeous towels, wash clothes, hand towels...The king sized bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in...complete with feather pillows and lovely soft linens! We used the washer and dryer and were pleasantly surprised at how well they worked! We did take out at a Mexican restaurant listed and enjoyed it!! This is a keeper! I would certainly recommend this property to friends and relatives. I would stay here again at the drop of a hat!! Thanks for a great week!!!

My daughter and I stayed at the Yellow Desert Rose and used it as our home base while exploring San Diego. As everyone else has stated the "attached addition" is lovely. Rose is an interior decorator and this beautifully appointed home clearly shows off her talent. The only complaint I have is that it was not air-conditioned. Being from Florida, where you cannot live without air, I wrongly assumed that all properties come with AC and did not look for that specifically in the writeup of the property.. My daughter and I managed by sleeping with the sliding glass door open and the fan running. California is a much dryer climate and perhaps many residents choose not to have AC. Other than that, we had a lovely stay. Rose and Chad went above and beyond by sharing specific places we could view fireworks for the 4th of July and extending our checkout time on our last day so I could get our car serviced. This was our first VRBO experience and I am thankful it was with such a friendly couple.

Our stay at the yellow Desert Rose cottage could not have been better! The quality and craftsmanship of the cottage is outstanding and very well laid out. The cottage is private, quiet, comfy and cozy. Being centrally located made it easy to get out and about. Especially enjoyed walking to breakfast at the curbside Café. Rose and Chad were welcoming and accommodating hosts. We were here to attend a family gathering to celebrate mom's 90th birthday. All was outstandingly wonderful and the yellow Desert Rose cottage added to it! Highly recommend staying here! We will be back!

Very comfortable stay. Private and cozy. Perfect place for couples who want privacy. Very clean and very close to all the shops. We loved the Desert Rose. Would highly recommend!! Cloteal and Steve

My husband and I had a wonderful week in this clean, cozy cottage! I fell in love with it when I saw the photos of it and was happy that the place looked as amazing in real life as it had online. Chad and Rose have created an ideal atmosphere for a relaxing getaway. They provided everything we needed to make our stay perfect. I would love to stay there again!

We really enjoyed our stay at Yellow Desert Rose. It's a great location on nice quiet street, friendly neighbors and close to all the fun things that the area has to offer. The casita is charmingly decorated with a full kitchen and a great feature is having your own private washer and dryer. That came in handy for our month stay. The private patio and garden is lovely. There are quite a few micro breweries in the area. Plenty of good restaurants to choose from, and charming beach towns like Carlsbad and Oceanside p, 20 minutes away. We also enjoyed wine tasting in Temecula about 30 minutes away! San Diego is a 30-40 minutes drive and it was nice being close enough to make a day trip and come back to our private casita. Our hosts, Chad and Rose were so kind and helpful. They offered many wonderful suggestions of places for us to visit. We just loved it! Thank you again for the wonderful stay!

The Yellow Desert Rose Getaway was the perfect place for my parents. It is very comfortable and had everything they needed and more in order to make their time there very enjoyable. We appreciate being able to have them stay there and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful place in the Vista area. Thank you so so much for everything

I would totally stay here again. It was just two of us and it's literally a place I would love to live in. Has everything we need to make it feel like home while being on vacation. A small drive to the beach and Carlsbad is one of my favorite towns which is next door to this rental but I like that this rental was in a quiet part of north San diego county. Definitely relaxing.
