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

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property. We were 10 adults and 4 kids and were very comfortable. The property is beautiful. Beautiful trees in the back yard and many hummingbirds. Big kitchen and areas to “hang out”. Highly recommend in Vista."

4BR Family Home • Near Legoland & Beach • Gameroom • Dogs Free • Sleeps 9

10/10 Excellent

"Maybe more pillow options and extra towels in main room for more stays. Also electrical plug next to bed night stand in both sides didn’t charge both iPhones overnight."

⭐ Spacious Château Vista Heated Salt Pool Hot Tub 9 mi to Beach Family Fun!⭐

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time and the property was just what we needed for a family get together. A great space to relax, mingle and soak in the beautiful weather with mature trees, an amazing pool and spa, abundant seating, pool table and space for the kids to play."

Melrose 2BR. 6 beds. Pet-Friendly. Patio+Fireplace

10/10 Excellent

"This place was very clean and extremely convenient. Our family traveled from Hawai’i and this was so close to a homely feeling for us. Bill responded quickly to all of our messages and the amenities were so helpful for us. Would definitely stay here again!!"

3-bedroom vacation home 16 minutes from LEGOLAND® California

10/10 Excellent

"The residence was portrayed as posted. Great location and close to everything but also very quiet and relaxing venue that we felt at home almost immediately. Looking forward to future accommodation."

Melrose Exec Studio Queen + Bunk - Pet-Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

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

8/10 Good

"Overall because of pool, pool table and video games, plus pool and hot tub, this place worked. Kitchen pretty complete. Midway through week pool filter stopped working and took 2 days for repair to come. Clean enough but outside windows, especially at front were dirty and made poor initial impression. Room for washer, dryer was welcome and both units worked well. I'm used to a welcoming booklet explaining how TV, etc. worked with suggestions for restaurants etc. Makes a nice impression. There was no such booklet. Also there were 8 trash barrels that we were asked to bring in down steep path. Bathrooms were clean and very good. Overall it worked with this group of 4 student ages 17-2 plus 5 adults ."

Cheerful 4 bedroom

10/10 Excellent

"The house was setup exactly as expected, very clean and perfect for our quick trip. Everything was very easy from check-in to check-out."

Luxe Vista Getaway w/ Private Pool & Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay here and had plenty of room for our family (10 adults and 6 children). We enjoyed going to the beach each day and having a nice place to come and relax afterward. Communication with the host was great and prompt via text or phone! The host was kind and helpful. We didn't use the pool much because it was on the colder side. We did enjoy the spa however. The host heated the spa remotely when we requested it. The home was stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen as well as the bathrooms. Would highly recommend this location!"
