The house was even more spacious than I had expected, with lots of comfortable nooks and other areas to hang out. But the best part was the hosts, who went above and beyond. A lovely place to stay!

Beautiful home with lots of amenities. Nice to have beach chairs and boards to use for the beach.

We had a fabulous vacation at this spacious, spotless, well stocked, and well situated Carlsbad home. We enjoyed cooking in the gourmet kitchen, dining Al fresco, grilling, and resting and relaxing like queens. We had everything we needed and more. Our very generous hosts paid attention to every detail. We have never stayed at such a beautiful property. Thank you both so much for our most memorable and long overdue family vacation and birthday celebrations.

The homeowner went above and beyond to ensure our stay was wonderful. The house is beautiful, very comfortable, and had everything you would possibly want. We were greeted with freshly picked strawberries and goodies in all the rooms. Our grandchildren were over the moon excited. Thank You Dana! Your home was perfect for our family reunion.

These hosts take vacation rental to a new high! We can’t say enough! They gave us a warm welcome with everything needed for our sons 30th birthday celebration. If you forgot anything, they have it! They are incredibly generous with their home. The location was wonderful and the house was perfect for our large family. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! If you can rent it, do it! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Ron and Dana for everything!

Summary: Fantastic Hosts! Beautiful home and close to everything! 5 minute walk to Vons, Rite aide and Thrifty ice cream. About a 30 minute walk to Tamarak Beach. Beautiful sunsets from the upstairs balcony. Dana and Ron were super responsive before, during, and after our stay. They have a manual for the home that outlines EVERYTHING. If for some reason something wasn't outlined, they were very quick to respond to our requests and questions (usually within seconds!) You can tell there is love and care in this home! Treats and yummy surprises were left throughout the home. Most everything was labeled and easily accessible. We continually felt "at home" and very relaxed... leaving was the worst part! Highly recommend this home and Dana and Ron in general! Amazing people and amazing home! Thank you! Detailed experience: There were 10 of us that stayed at this amazing home and not once did we feel crowded or on top of each other. Before arriving, I had let them know why we were going out there and when mentioned we would have the kids, they suggested we look into the strawberry fields, also let us know all the beach gear they had at the house. Upon arrival, we had some wonderful surprises waiting for us. There was a home manual that spelt out everything. There was an instant feeling of being at home and relaxed. After figuring out the sleeping arrangements, we took in the beautiful view from the upstairs balcony! Throughout our stay, whenever we had questions, we send Ron and Dana a text message and they were so quick to get back. They did an amazing job helping us feel right at home. The kids enjoyed the toys in the upstairs closet there were dolls and legos and the kids LOVED having the dolls since they forgot their dolls at home. We made meals everyday and... the kitchen... just WOW! Pretty much any appliance or gadget you will ever need! Also, one of our favorite dishes is Pesto and it was so fun being able to use their fresh basil from the garden to make it! It was so nice to have boogy boards, umbrellas, chairs, beach towels and beach toys to take with us to the beach. One of the favorite things was the hot tub after the beach. I'm sure most people will not read this far. But for those, like me, who really appreciate the details, you will love this home and the hosts! This is by far the BEST experience I have had renting someone's home. Thank you Ron and Dana I highly recommend your home. Thank you for the wonderful experience! 5 STARS!

The house was amazing and the host were caring. They were very communicative with us and made sure we were well taken care of. The host even left gifts for our kiddos and us. It couldn’t have been any better! We will definitely be going back!

My sister and I, our husbands, and teenage kids, stayed for four nights in this amazing house. The access to the house was easy and no hassles. We walked in and felt very comfortable, like we were at home. (Our dream home) Upon our arrival, our hosts left a pleasant surprise on the kitchen counter to welcome us. They asked if we were celebrating anything on our trip, so a birthday cake, balloons and a bottle of Martinellis on ice, for the 4 birthdays that we were celebrating, started our vacation off with a high note. There was literally everything we needed there and MORE. The home was extremely clean and we felt like we were in a resort with all of the amenities. The beds were heavenly, with chocolates on every nightstand. There were two mini friges with complementary drinks and a media room upstairs with complementary snack, candies, and a big screen tv with surround sound like at a theatre. The home is more beautiful in person than the online pics. The master suite has a balcony that you can catch a gorgeous sunset if you time it right. If you cook........this place has a VERY well stocked BIG kitchen to do so. Lots of room if you have a few cooks during your stay. A great laundry room to use if needed. Everyone enjoyed the jacuzzi and we cooked on the outdoor BBQ that was emaculate. Vons is 3 blocks, starbucks is 4, and a few little mom and pop restaurants to try, right there as well. Our hosts, Ron and Dana have set up their home for your stay as if you are family guests, not customers but with resort like touches. They have an exceptional 3 ring binder with ALL the info you will need for your stay, from the A/C to places to eat with their personal ratings. Ron and Dana would respond alomst immediately if we had any questions. Each day there, we drove 30-40 minutes to San Diego, to explore and then a quick drive back to relax at the house, with PLENTY of room for everyone to spread out if needed or pull together to interact for meals, games, movies, etc. The beach was a 3 minute drive where the kids rented surfboards to get the full experience in the waves. I can't say enough about this place and the only thing we all didn't like was............. we couldn't stay longer. THANK YOU Ron & Dana for everything.

Most comfortable and well stocked of any nightly rental we’ve stayed in. Attention to detail is impressive.

We have rented many times from VRBO and this was one of best rental experiences to date. Dana and Ron went above and beyond getting the house ready for us, complete with snacks in the media room for our kids (which they absolutely loved), drinks in the fridge and even chocolate on each of our pillows! The house was beautifully furnished and had plenty of room for our group of 4 adults and 5 kids (ages ranging from 2-14). Great shopping, restaurants and the beach were all just a minute away. We didn’t have any beach toys with us and they called up their neighbors who graciously lent us beach toys, boogie boards and beach towels. Wonderful time had by all and definitely a 5 star stay for us!
