Vista Village Retreat

It was centrally located. It was clean. I had good communication with the owner. The check-in was easy. I definitely stay there again.

Great size for 3 people, good utilities, old style accommodation but comfortable.

The Vista Village Retreat was a perfect location for our stay. The house is outfitted with everything one would need for a comfortable stay. It was close to the interstate and easy walking distance to restaurants and coffee houses. It was an easy drive to north county beaches and attractions. I especially enjoyed the patio in the evenings. It is a nice place to unwind in the evenings or have coffee in the mornings. The neighborhood is quiet and quaint. The Sprinter trolley runs close by but we didn’t find it annoying or bothersome. The property owners are super responsive and appreciated the feedback. Their property is safe and suited for our two week stay perfectly. We will definitely book this property again.

The house was very comfortable. The weather was extremely hot while we were there and Vista lost power 5 days in a row…but this house never lost power. The only negative for me was the laundry being outside was too hard to use…especially the dryer. So I ended up doing laundry somewhere else…so that was inconvenient

The property is very nice, has mentioned by the owners. It is not just some VBRO rental. It is their actual home six months of the year, it’s extremely well appointed throughout the house and very comfortable. The outside back deck is wonderful for coffee and dinner and cocktails at night, owners show great pride in their landscaping, and overall condition of the house. A very pleasant stay would certainly consider staying here again if we come back this way.

We liked that we could approach the home from several directions. As we no longer are capable of walking long distances, we appreciated that banks, stores, restaurants were in close driving distances (less than 5mins). There are new restaurants in Vista, CA and we explored many. The home is spacious and well maintained...I liked the owners phrase - this is not an Ikea home. It is a very comfortable home with full kitchen. We enjoyed our visit.

Great little place. Beautiful yard. Super comfortable. Pretty close to lots of great scenic places. Could use some new bed pillows but overall a fantastic stay. ?

Pros: The garden is stunning and the patio is a perfect place to relax. Cons: 1) Although there are shops nearby, there is no sidewalk for the first couple of blocks and the road is narrow and cars go fast. We did not feel comfortable walking. 2) There is a commuter train that goes by every 30 minutes between about 4:00 am and 9:00 pm and blows its horn. Distance from house is about 3 houses/lots away. 3) The main living area of the house has a slightly musty smell.

I have stayed in a lot of rental properties because I like to explore new towns and this one of my favorites. The house had everything you need and more! The kitchen was well stocked and the ice maker was ready for use. It had plenty of linens and even travel sized items in case you forgot to bring something. The house had books, games, card games and DVD movies in case you got bored. The house had AC that worked really well. The bed was firm, yet comfortable and the bedroom had plenty of dressers for storage. The owner had everything clearly marked, so I never had any questions. The only downside is I wish I could have stayed longer!

Adorable cottage in the heart of Vista. Lovely backyard with a gas grill and a covered porch where you can enjoy your morning coffee. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need to cook (if you like). Very close to lots of restaurants , shopping and beach. Carol was very responsive to all our questions. Would recommend her place.
