Fallbrook is known for its perfect weather, boasting 300+ days of sunshine, warm days and cool nights. It is home to numerous golf courses, wineries and hiking trails. San Diego beaches are 25 miles away and the Safari Park, Zoo and Legoland are also a short drive from Fallbrook. The Temecula valley is just 15 minutes north with golf, horseback riding, gaming casinos, more restaurants, wineries and breweries. Those considering a vacation rental in Temecula please also realize that during hot weather Fallbrook is about 10 degrees cooler due to the temperate ocean climate spilling in directly from the coast.

El Refugio is powered by an extensive grid-tied solar PV system, which provides all the electricity used during the year. There is a 40 amp 240 volt charging station for Tesla vehicles (bring your own cable). The house is kept cool or warm by 6 separate A/C systems. The owners are both engineers and committed to designing continuous improvements in environmental sustainability. A Tesla Power battery wall is located in the garage and is sized to ensure full power for the entire home should there ever be a power outage.
