Beautiful Family Vacation Home

We traveled with 4 adults and 5 children. This house was perfect! Set far enough away so you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the country but close enough to be at the beach or city within a half an hour. The owners are very accommodating. They share all their toys for the kids. Video games, board games, pool, ping pong etc which were great for family bonding moments. The 4 bedrooms provided enough space at night to relax and the views from the deck are simply stunning! We will surely rent this home again when traveling to SoCal.

Fabulous home in a wonderful location

Really enjoyed our stay, celebrating our nephews wedding at the "castle" nearby. The facilities at the house were first class, and we loved the wonderful views over the valley, groves & vineyards. John & Shannon's neighbour - Bill, was an absolute star & brought us freshly squeezed orange juice, and took us for walks arounds the groves each morning.

Private oasis with a gorgeous view!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely, well kept and very private estate home. Three couples and three preschool (3, 4, & 6) aged boys for a week together for a mini-reunion over the 4th of July, and we never felt crowded or cooped up. There are so many things to do, both inside and outside, that we never wanted to leave the house. We were able to spread out in the four large BRs, with enough privacy for everyone. The master BR is huge, with a seating area, an adjacent outside area, huge bathroom, trundle and crib. It does face east however, so in the summer, the room is fairly bright in the early morning. The kitchen and dining areas are fully equipped (including many pantry items and staples) with everything you need to prepare meals, from breakfast and snacks, to full dinners. There's also an outdoor kitchen area (next to the "spool") with a huge propane grill, running water, small frig, etc. The washer & dryer were great too with the little ones. The owners have included fully stocked game cabinets and garage storage, for both indoor and outdoor games and sports equipment. If you're bored here, you're just not trying! Yet, you can sit out peacefully on the deck or on the porch for hours on end watching the scenery and just be still and be surrounded by the sounds of nature. The boys loved the playscape and putting green and the "spool", and the adults loved the deck area overlooking the valley for sunset and morning coffee, the pool table and outside activities, and the spool too. There's outdoor seating in several areas, depending upon if you want shade or sun, and which scenery you want to face. The views are absolutely stunning all the way around the house. The owners did a great job of providing info on how to run all of the lights, a/c, tv/dvd, timers, "spool" features, gates and locks, etc. It's on a private gated road about 15 minutes off of I-15, just south of Escondido and north of Carmel Mountain area for convenient shopping. There is a winery across Highland Valley Road that has pizza, cheese plates, salads, etc., but not much other food in the immediate area. We stayed in every night -- watching the sunset and cooking on the grill was the highlight of the day. The owners were lovely to deal with from start to finish. Shannon was a wonderful help recommending "to do's" with the little ones and understanding our needs as multi-generational extended family. We'd love to come stay with them again.

About the host

Hosted by Shannon Fitzmaurice

We are retired and enjoying traveling in our motorhome. We live close by at a retirement golf community and love to spend time with our grandchildren. Opening up our home to guests has been a fun retirement adventure, we have met so many nice families and truly enjoy managing our own property. Please come for a visit soon.

Why they chose this property

This is a dream home because it is quiet and relaxing with incredible views and open space. We love the country but can be at the 3 story indoor mall, golfing, bowling or a restaurant within 15 minutes! We love to actually hear the birds sing and watch them through the windows at the bird feeders. Watching red tail hawks soar at eye level view of the back deck, or the Great Blue Heron fish from the pond. We would love to share this little piece of Heaven with you.

What makes this property unique

Look out over the valley from the back patio or enjoy a dip in the spool to cool off. Challenge your family to a game of pool, ping pong or push your kids on the swing. No reason to leave to have a good time but all attractions are within an hour drive. You can be shopping at a very large indoor mall in 15 minutes! If you don't feel like cooking walk across the street to the winery and let them serve you and enjoy their beautiful outdoor patio and wood fire pizza! There are many nearby golf courses, movie theaters and entertainment opportunities that San Diego has to offer. We are 45 minutes from downtown San Diego. We have a large play structure for the kids and a 9 hole putting green with sand trap! Play Pickleball, bocce ball, ping pong or corn hole. Lots to do, or do nothing, read a book on the patio and admire the views to the ocean. Enjoy the peace and quiet of the country. PLAY PICKLEBALL ON FULL SIZE COURT!
