This was the perfect space for my husband and I. It was a home away from home. Chad and Rose thought about all of the small details to make our stay even more special. It felt like southern hospitality but only in California! We will definitely stay there again if back in the area.

Great location, great amenities, very comfortable.

Enjoyed our stay so much. The lovely quiet neighborhood location was terrific for our needs, and the property was clean and just as described and perfect for the two of us. Comfy bed, washer and dryer, and coffee maker great for our coffee each morning. Thanks again for a great visit and we certainly hope to visit again.

Clean, quiet, and conformable

This rental was perfect for our stay in Vista! Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood it was very quiet, but only a 5-15 minute drive to most activities. Everything about the rental was clean and well appointed. Highly recommended for couples or if traveling alone.

Cozy and comfortable

Our stay at the Yellow Desert Rose was incredible from start to finish. Our hosts went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and to take care of whatever we might night. The location is perfect and the neighborhood is sweet. Everything about this VRBO made it an 11 out of 10!

Beautiful!

Our son and daughter-in-law stayed at the VRBO. They loved it. I personally saw it and it was adorable. Updated home and very clean. They said the same and how it was stocked with everything you needed in the kitchen to make an amazing meal. Rose was very attentive and available with any questions we had at any time. :) Thanks!!

Family Birthday Celebration

We had a wonderful stay at the Yellow Desert Rose Getaway. Chad and Rose were very friendly and attentive hosts. The guest house was very clean, attractive and comfortable. We felt very at home there. The kitchen had updated appliances and was very well stocked. We had all we needed. We really enjoyed having the patio because we like to sit out and have our coffee in the morning (and we liked hearing the birds). The grill did a nice job on the prime steaks we cooked. It was nice to have access to secure Wi-Fi and we really enjoyed the variety of stations we could get on the TV. It was perfect for our needs since we were travelling north to San Clemente and south to San Diego. The house is located in a quiet and lovely neighborhood. We highly recommend this rental property and, with the expectation of more such trips on our part in the future, we hope to stay here again.

nice stay in Vista

Wife and I stayed 10 days in Vista to spend time over Christmas with daughter, son-in-law and baby granddaughter. Wife and I stayed in Vista, which is about 15 minutes from our family. The place we stayed at was very nice - clean, updated, comfortable and quiet. We want to thank our hosts and we will definitely consider coming back to the same home!

All Boxes Checked!

I stayed at this wonderful property for 13 nights in September 2021. The location was great! The weather was awesome!! But best of all, the property was immaculate, stocked with things that I didn’t know I needed (until I needed them), wonderful decor, oh and the bed was sooo comfy, I could go on and on but the icing on the cake was Rose and Chad even had the television prepped for all of the apps that I like to watch. I stayed there alone so I really appreciated being able to catch up on my shows. The WiFi was also great, as I worked while I was there with no interruptions. Check, check, check, check, check!!! :) If you’re looking for a great place with awesome hosts, look no further! Thank you Rose and Chad!!!!

Great stay

We lived in this charming apt. for 6 months while our new house was completed and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The cottage is very well maintained and the landlords friendly and accommoding. We would recommend this well-appointed get-a-way spot without reservation.

Fantastic property

Love this place! It is close to my daughter, private, even a small fenced patio to enjoy sitting out in the evening. The place is immaculately clean, and has all the amenities. It is in an upscale neighborhood and I really enjoy being able to take a stroll and feel safe. The bed, like none other. We have reached out to Chad and Rose, the hosts, to see if we can't buy the same matress for our house. The best bed ever, and I have traveled extensively, lots of 5 star hotels, nothing beats this! We will be back, great place, great value.

My best experience ever! Amazing!

It honestly is hard to make sure I hit all the high points, there are just so many great things I want to mention. Let's start with clean. I think I am a very picky housekeeper, so much so I never expect to be wowed by the cleanliness of a rental. Well, now the bar has been set, the place was immaculate. Location, again, I couldn't have asked for more. Private entrance, you park feet from the door, easy. Loved the neighborhood, the gentle hills of Vista, yards and homes well kept, pride of ownership was evident throughout the neighborhood. Safe, clean, beautiful. My husband and I took a long walk every morning before heading out to be with our daughter and granddaughters. Furnishings, impressive. I love to cook, while I knew this Christmas visit would not be the time for me to cook, other times would. I could cook anything in that well appointed kitchen. I should have such a nice range at home! The dishwasher was a new Bosch, so quiet, run it anytime! Refrigerator was a new Whirlpool, again looked like it had never been used it was so clean. Linens, the bed, wow. Both my husband and I wear sports watches, and we had all time high scores for sleep, when does that happen on a trip? The mattress was fantastic, we took a picture of the brand, and are planning on buying one. Sheets, towels, all top quality. We have been searching for a place to come when visiting our daughter and family. We have tried more than a few by owner rentals and hotels, none really wanted to repeat. Now we have found "our" place. Selfishly, I might want to keep this a secret, but, I can't do that to my fellow travelers nor these fantastic owners. Happy travels to all, and this place is a traveler's dream come true!!!

Just about everything you need and well appointed

Very updated with many amenities. The unit is an extension of a primary residence and in a neighborhood where homes are very close together yet, I never heard anyone. It was very private and I felt safe. I would recommend this for someone staying in the area for sure...

About the host

Hosted by Chad & Rose

Host profile image

We are a husband and wife who have owned several homes over the years in the San Francisco Bay Area and raised 3 beautiful children in them. We moved to North San Diego County in late 2010 and continue to enjoy all that sunny California has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Now that our children are grown and moving on to adult pursuits, and we have moved way from their native San Francisco Bay Area, we wanted to make sure there will always be a place where we can still get together. So the Yellow Desert Rose was born - we can have the room for our friends and family to visit, and we can earn the operating dollars by inviting guests to enjoy the cottage.
