This is an amazing property. We met here for a family reunion and loved it. It was just as advertised - clean, spacious, well equipped, and beautiful. The kitchen is massive, we had 5 cooks in at once without any trouble. The refrigerator and freezer are large enough to accommodate a large group. The pool and spa were lovely and a big hit. We highly recommend this place.

The house is beautiful. We had family come from all over the country and they were blown away by all of the details in this house. Loved the pool, home theater and putting green. Not to mention watching the sunsets from the outdoor sitting area. From checkin to checkout the owner took care of us. Would highly recommend!!

Great house. Great property. Great location.

Met all expectations and was a lovely home for our large family reunion. Owners were very responsive and helpful with any concerns we had while staying here (which were very minor). Lots of options for spending time at the house - pool, games, and walks on the property. Within 15 minutes of beautiful beaches and other fun attractions. We’d definitely stay here again!

Fantastic Property w Lots of Amenities

We travelled to California for a family wedding. This property had all of the amenities you could ever want. The location was perfect; close to major highway and shopping. The owners were very easy to contact. They answered all of our questions in a timely manner. We would love to stay here again some day.

Family Reunion

The property was fantastic. All the rooms were larger than what the pictures on the Internet showed. It was well-maintained, clean, and had all of the accommodating things that a family needs to stay there for a week. We will definitely consider coming back to this property again.

A perfect get away for a large family!

My wife and I, and our 7 kids with spouses, all had plenty of room and fun at this amazing place. Samantha was very attentive to any questions, and the place's actual layout upon arrival made it even better than we imagined through just viewing the pictures. Whether it was the heated outdoor living area, warm pool, hot spa, playing poker/cards or shooting pool, it was all just perfect for us. I wish we had another week there.

90th Birthday Celebration

This property was beautiful and was fabulous for the 20 guests celebrating my mom's 90th birthday. Many of the guests flew in from areas that had already gotten cold, so the warm weather and outdoor spaces were a hit, especially the pool. I can not say enough about how accommodating and responsive the hosts were to our requests. I hope we get to work with them again.

Best location in the Covenant

This property is fantastic and it was a shame that it was just my husband and I (and our pups). There are so many entertaining options on property from the putting green, to darts, poker table, outdoor entertaining areas, fire pits...it was amazing. The kitchen was also perfectly stocked with every cooking utensil, bowl, small appliance, prep tools you could need. The owners are incredibly nice and very responsive. We will be back!

Amazing property

Absolutely stunning home nestled in a beautiful and serene area. Our family, ranging in ages from one to 65 spent a week here. We would not have had to leave the property. The pool and spa were perfect to spend the day with family. The other nice touches, including pizza, oven, golf chipping area, Theater room, were pleasant additions. Each suite was immaculate and comfortable. The host was extremely responsive. Would 10/10 return for another week.

Magical Moments!

We enjoyed our stay at this most amazing home. Comfort, cleanliness, amenities, and accessible communication are a few of the exceptional qualities of this stay. We feel blessed to have the opportunity to be together at such a home that had so much to offer. We swam in a beautiful heated pool/hot tub, cooked in the large stocked kitchen, played cards in the “Game room” and sat by one of the wonderful fireplaces to watch movies. There is something and somewhere to go (for privacy) for everyone. Looking forward to being able to stay here again!

Family Vacation

We truly enjoyed our time together and all the spaces & amenities! The theater was a big hit with the kids! And the pool & hot tub was enjoyed by all! A few hiccups with a dryer & garbage pickup but owners were quick to answer & looking for solutions. The kitchen was wonderful to cook in for 23 people! We have a couple families who now want a new stove...like the one at this house! Location was good - close to our tour destinations but far away from crowds & traffic and in a nice, quiet neighborhood.

Awesome!!!

My side of the family gets together at different locations every couple of years for Christmas reunion. This year, we chose San Diego and picked this wonderful home. The house is well appointed throughout. There are plenty of things to do in the property to keep any ages entertained. We couldn't be happier! We all agreed that it is our favorite home we've stayed at so far.. Thank you Samantha and Robert for making our reunion unforgettable! We couldn't have done it without your home.

Spectacular

The pictures do not do the house and property justice. It is much larger and more spectacular than they could ever show. Our group consisted of eight gentlemen who could not believe our luck in finding such an extraordinary property. It really exceeded all expectations. I cannot recommend it highly enough. We will definitely be returning.

El Rancho Magnifico

We were a group of parents and girls from Australia on a skate tour of Southern California. Before we took the group to the property my wife and I checked in partly to confirm that this property was real and we were not disappointed indeed we could not believe how fantastic it was! We booked for one week and then no one wanted to leave - so we stayed for another 5 nights and we had to drag everyone out on our last day. The communication with the owners was responsive and very helpful. Thank you for having us and we are already planning next years trip!

Simply Amazing!!

Simply amazing! We had our family gathering and this by far is the best home we have ever stayed at. Something for everyone to do. A week wasn’t long enough to enjoy all the amenities this property has to offer. From the walking trails, pool and jacuzzi, poker night, movie night to just lounging around. The big hit was pizza night using the outdoor pizza oven. This home is truly a special retreat. Samantha and the team were great with communication and very responsive to the few questions we had. The family is already asking when we can do this home again! Thanks for a very memorable time!

Best Family Home

Our family (18, ranging from 17 to 78 + dog) rents a house each summer. We've stayed in some really nice places over the years, but this was the best. The pictures and reviews don't do it justice. The entire property is absolutely beautiful and there is so much to do, from walking along the riding trails to using the sauna. It is clearly a family home and is full of family pictures. The whole family really, really loved it. Also, the property is really close to multiple attractions (beach, races, zoo). Everyone raved. We tried to book next summer, but it's already rented. I'll check every few weeks in case someone cancels.
