    Beautiful property with a lovely outdoor area. We had a wonderful time over all and would recommend this with the following considerations / things id rather have known ahead of time: that the pool and patio areas are on camera. Also if you're a night owl, you may need to let the hosts know because they turn off all outdoor lights at 1am. **There is also additional charges for heating up the hot tub per each use.

    Julia and Robert were excellent hosts of this beautiful property, which is centrally located to many activities. We especially enjoyed relaxing by the pool while watching March Madness, and listening to the coyotes howling at the full moon. The grounds are so comforting with all of the plants, fountain, and quiet. Perfect place to unwind from a busy life!

    Beautiful and peaceful setting with a pool view, exquisite garden and a sense of spaciousness. The bed is extremely comfortable. The pool was too cold to use as the weather was cooler than normal but it was still lovely to sit out by the pool in the morning and evening. Keurig coffee machine was great. I will definitely return.

    Nice location! We felt safe and the room was spacious and the Casper mattress was comfortable. We heard the Northern Mockingbirds mating calls at night, which was strange and wonderful we relaxed by the pool before going out for dinner at Brigantine seafood and oyster bar. The HH there was good. Location was a close drive to San Diego and Mission Bay. We would stay here again. Thanks !

    The long drive way leading up to the villa and the beautifully landscaped grounds let you know you are in for a treat! This villa is very clean and has all you need. The bed is so comfy and poolside is beautiful and peaceful. The jacuzzi was amazing! Robert and Julia were the perfect hosts and made us feel so welcome! My husband wasn’t feeling 100% , a bad winter cold, and Julia even brought us fresh lemons from her yard and honey. Very kind! This villa is so cozy and feels like home! You’re going to love it!

    Much larger and better appointed than expected. I loved having separate vanities. The location was perfect for our visit. As someone who grew up in the area, I remembered the big White House on the hill. It was a treat to stay in their guest wing. It would be nice to come in warmer weather to enjoy the pool area. Maybe next time?

    Our four night stay was a wonderful experience, especially since the weather was sunny and warm so we could use the pool every afternoon! We used each morning to go out to breakfast at any number of wonderful local restaurants in the area, and then either go to the beach or go to Julian, etc. Escondido is a wonderful hub, with much to do in the area, including visits to wineries, casinos, or just go for a wonderful drive out into the country.The owners/hosts were very accommodating and we would love to come back someday!

    Quiet, clean, private, many extra amenities. Julia outdid our wildest expectations with providing many extra items that we found useful and functional like an umbrella for the beach, towels for the beach, Kureig coffee, unlimited tv stations that spoiled us to no end. With plenty of space, use of a laptop and printer (even though we didn’t use), large DVD selection, we were very happy and content. We would like to book again next time in Escondido. And yes this pool is extravagant and accentuates the Southern California style.

    The property was beautiful and well-maintained. The unit was clean and had all the amenities we needed. We were surrounded by gorgeous landscaping and felt very safe in the fenced in gated property. I was looking forward to a dip in the pool so I was a little disappointed to learn it was not heated. The laundry was not accessible - I ended up not doing a load at all because we ran out of time and I would have had to schedule access with the owner to get inside their home. Despite these minor inconveniences, it was really much nicer than any hotel in the area would have been and was very conveniently located near my brother's house. The suite was the perfect size for my small family of 3. We would probably stay again.

Parking was a delight with lots of choices. Air conditioning was so powerful and perfect for the summer heat and humidity. I am so glad I stayed outside of the San Diego area. I highly recommend this retreat for anyone looking for a secluded location for relaxation and rejuvenation. The hosts were so welcoming and kind and never minded answering any question.
