Perfect Stay In Every Way

This was my first experience in a vacation rental and it could not have been any better. Bev and Richard are wonderfully welcoming and responsive hosts — their home is immaculate, so comfortable, so thoughtfully stocked with EVERYTHING and ANYTHING one could possibly want/need —especially when there for an extended stay as I was. The house is beautiful and exactly as depicted in the photos. And dogs are welcome! I cannot imagine staying anywhere else when visiting Ramona. Thank you Bev and Richard!

Temporary Home

We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable VRBO! The house is very clean and we really liked having access to a garage for our cars. The kitchen is well stocked and we enjoyed spening time in the kitchen and great room as a family. The hosts were responsive, very kind, and easy to work with!

Richard & Beverly began independent travel at a young age. Experiencing the world & its people has become their passion. They've rented vacation apartments in many different countries, together, with family, & with friends. Introducing their 8 grand children to foreign & domestic travel is one of their favorite past times. Bev & Dick are native Californians- born & raised in San Diego county. They've lived 60+ years in Ramona where they raised 3 children. They work as a team, owning & operating a successful real estate brokerage for 26 years.

Why they chose this property

We built the house with retirement in mind. Ramona is convenient to all of San Diego county. It is less than an hour away from beaches, mountains & desert. The sunny weather is close to perfect. We travel to experience winter :)

What makes this property unique

Although close to conveniences, the area is quiet & serene. Nature can be enjoyed or you can drive 15 minutes to major shopping & movie theaters. Our location is really central to all of San Diego County.
