Paradise Palms Retreat: Lux Vacay or Wedding! -- Welcome to Paradise!

10/10 Excellent

"Superb. Everything about this rental is top notch. Thank you, Dylan (the manager), your care, attention to details, and communicating were incredibly timely, professional, yet personal. I give this property a higher rating than 5."

Pool, hot tub, fire pit, and more! Aqua La Vista

10/10 Excellent

"Our vacation rental was exactly what we needed - and more. Unit was clean and although home was older, it was updated in all the ways a renter would want - the stove was AMAZING and allowed me to make meals to support my family, with ease. There were plenty of bath and pool/spa towels. Beds were incredibly comfortable. Working with after hours service was phenomenal! At one point a tv remote stopped working and they had one delivered before end of day. I would definitely stay at this home again if the need arises."

Sunrise Luxurious Master Room/Own Bath/Separated Entry/Vista

10/10 Excellent

"The property fit my needs perfectly. Single traveler just needing a quiet place to rest before and after a golf weekend with friends. The views were a pleasant bonus. Comms with the host were quick and easy. Note that the entry can be tight for larger SUVs or similar but there is an option if needed. Bed was comfortable and firm. There's no kitchen, but the hotel style fridge and microwave were more than adequate for my needs. The road to the property is a one lane road so drive with caution and be respectful to their neighbors. Would definitely stay there again if my travels take me back to the Escondido area."
