Best Vrbo experience we’ve had yet. Dylan provided impeccable customer service. I’ve never experienced a host so attentive. The house was clean, fully stocked and incredibly spacious. Highly recommend.

We went here for a family reunion. 16 people so kind of tight, but honestly it all worked out great. The house was lovely and comfortable. The owner was very responsive to all our communications. Would stay again if back in the area

Property was lovely, as expected and our large family group enjoyed our stay. Bonus was communication with Dylan, who helped us with locating and repatriating an item that was accidentally left behind. Above and beyond! Thank you!

Thank you for the lovely review, Mary! It was a pleasure to host you and your family and we look forward to having you again soon!
Our stay at Paradise Palms was a great place to host family from out of town and it was an easy 40 minute drive to downtown San Diego. Our family of 7 had plenty of space to lounge and the kitchen table accommodated up to 8 which made it a convenient place to gather while food was being prepared and for us all to sit down together for a meal. The outdoor area has been created to create a sense of privacy even in a busy neighborhood. We only had a few very minor requests for the owners which were quickly addressed for future guests to have an even better experience like new pillows for one of the rooms, batteries for a remote, and a lighter that was out of butane for us to use for the fit pit and bbq. None of these ruined our experience and would absolutely recommend to families for a future stay in Vista.

We rented this house for our family so we could all be together for my son’s wedding. It is very spacious and clean. Location was easy to get to and close to shopping, ocean and all the things we wanted to do. We would stay there again if we had a big group again.

It was such a pleasure to host you and your family during this incredibly special weekend for you. We hope you'll come back and stay with us again soon! :)
We were very pleased with how spacious Paradise Palms is. We had plenty of room for our families and excellent sleeping quarters for all. We did, however, have some problems with the dishwasher, towels, and number of guests. Dylan handled them promptly! We were very pleased. I would make sure no more than 16 occupy this nice rental. Otherwise, you are charged up to 100 per person. We do own another condo on the beach so the other third of our family stayed there since we spent most of our time on the beach and at Disneyland. As to staying another time? Yes we would!

Loved every minute of our stay! The home is beautiful and comfortable. The beds are great and there is lots of room to spread out. It is about a 20 min drive to our favorite beach in Carlsbad and there are lots of stores and shopping nearby.

About the host
Hosted by Dylan Walsh
Hello there,
I'm Dylan, and I've been fortunate to call San Diego my home for the past 28 years, with a few delightful detours along the way.
Embracing diversity and forging connections with people from all walks of life has been a personal passion. It's this very love for cultural exchange that led me to become a full-time Airbnb host. I'm thrilled to open my space to fellow travelers and offer a warm, welcoming abode.
My heart finds solace in the waters, and I'm an avid enthusiast of water sports – paddle boarding, snorkeling, and surfing are my kind of adventure. Travel is not just a word; it's a way of life. With explorations spanning the United States and twenty other countries, my soul is forever touched by the beauty of our world.
Anticipation is mutual as I look forward to connecting with you. My aim is to ensure your stay is not only comfortable but etched with joyful memories. Let my team or me know if you have any inquiries – we're here to make your experience unforgettable.
Warmest wishes,
Dylan

We're thrilled, truly thrilled, for you to embrace the sheer splendor that Paradise Palms Retreat unfolds. Your experience is a testament to our commitment to crafting a stay beyond compare.
With utmost excitement,
Dylan
