This is our third stay at the Casita in Vista and we love it! Melissa is very communicative and responds to questions quickly. The kitchen is well stocked and the house had everything we needed. It's in a great location for us since we were visiting family in Vista. We will be back next year!

Wonderful vacation home!

We have stayed in many VRBO vacation rentals, this was our favorite. It is a newly constructed home, everything was beautiful and comfortable. It is very private, has wonderful views, and Melissa was extremely easy to work with and helpful. We will definitely return!

Beautiful house

This is our second stay here and we love this place! Great view and design of the house has incredible attention to detail. Everything we could need was available (and more). We will be back again the next time we are in the area.

Beautiful view from a lovely casita

We both really enjoyed staying here. There is a gorgeous view of the Vista hills from the property and the house had everything we needed. Melissa is a gracious and thoughtful host and she responded to messages promptly. We will be back next time we're in Vista.

Relaxing romantic getaway

Perfect private home for romantic getaway. This is our third time to this cute private getaway. The home is clean and very comfortable. We like to escape from our own home which is in the area. Escape the chaos at home for some serenity with beautiful views.

Perfect.

The cutest, quaint villa/casita. Beautiful location. Private, yet still open enough to see the surrounding views in Vista. Melissa was a pleasure to communicate with prior to check in. Would definitely stay here again and again. Thank you!

Another great stay!

This is our second time staying here. It is a lovely location and the casita is very clean and comfortable. It is very private which is what my husband and I need for a get away. We never see a single person. Just the two of us reconnecting from our busy lives. Everything about this home is perfect. Thank you for a great stay!

The entrance was a bit hard to find especially at night but the host was very kind and met us at the gate (which we thought was the correct entrance, but he showed us over to the actual entrance down the way). The home overlooks the hills of Vista and had an overall atmosphere of peace and quiet. The inside of the home was a casita style dwelling with amazing accommodations for a couple. We also felt very safe knowing Bingo, the friendly chocolate lab was roaming about. Loved our stay!!

PERFECT!!!

This place couldn't have been any better! We have stayed in many rental by owner properties and this is second to none. Not only was the Casita perfect but Melissa was the perfect host! This was our first time to the area and we weren't familiar with the local restaurants so we followed her recommendations and they were spot on! Thanks again for making our short time in Vista great!

We had an incredible experience and truly felt like we were staying in a home of our own. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely relaxed, comfortable, and welcome. The home exceeded every expectation. It was impeccably clean, beautifully maintained, thoughtfully furnished, and equipped with everything we could possibly need.The location was perfect because it felt like a peaceful private retreat surrounded by breathtaking scenery and majestic views, yet it was still just minutes from everything San Diego has to offer. It truly offered the best of both worlds. We would honestly come back to San Diego just for the opportunity to stay at this home again.Melissa was an exceptional host. Her communication was outstanding from booking through checkout, and it was clear she genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience for her guests. That level of hospitality is rare.Every detail had been thoughtfully considered, and the washer and dryer were an added bonus. The home was so pristine that we made every effort to leave it exactly as we found it out of genuine appreciation and respect.We recommend this home without hesitation to anyone looking for a peaceful, luxurious retreat with an outstanding host. We cannot wait to return. Thank you, Melissa, for sharing such a special place with us.

North County Casita

We spent a wonderful week at this Casita in North County San Diego. It has a great location less than 10 minutes from the center of Vista for easy access to restaurants/breweries and only 20 minutes to the beach, but 10 miles inland to enjoy sunny days avoiding the coastal fog. It's perched on a hillside in a quiet semi rural neighborhood. Very bright inside with ample South facing windows to bring in natural light and expansive views of the surrounding hills. The Spanish style Casita is very new, immaculate and well laid out with high-end furniture and kitchen. The bed was extremely soft and comfortable. Powerful AC and ceiling fans for perfect climate control. Covered patio to avoid direct sun and relax. Daily visits from Bingo the friendly Chocolate Lab. Definitely worthy of all the 5 star reviews. No complaints whatsoever. We will certainly return when visiting SoCal again.
