Peter was great to work with and accommodated our group short notice. He was a very responsive host. Location of property is convenient between LA and San Diego. The 4 bedrooms worked well for our family to give all enough space.

Lawrence & family we're a pleasure to host at my vacation house. Our communication was always great, they followed all the house rules, and they were absolutely effortless in their stay. I would gladly host them again in the future and can highly recommend them to any host going forward.

Construction zone
Many days of heavy earthmoving equipment a few yards from patio bringing lots of noise and sleeping interruptions. Minimal broadcast channels, streaming worked well.

Rather difficult guest. Solo guest. Booked with less than 24 hours notice. Had to get my cleaning crew in there within hours. Doesn't mention receives a 4 bedroom house for $205 a night. No positive statements. Too many complaints: Wants to park inside the garage (never had this demand). Didn't want to communicate on VRBO site. Couldn't figure out how to use the TV. Poor communication - I had to contact VRBO to get guidance. Would not respond to emails or text messages. VRBO also could not get him to respond. (Said he turns his phone off). Did not follow house rules regarding laundry of towels - stays 5 nights and uses 5 towels. I had to walk him through how to use the TV . I guess he expects to have premium channels as well, when basic cable is already $200 per month. Guests are free to pay for premium channels (using their own accounts). Never had a complaint on this. Left the toilet in master bedroom unflushed. As mentioned to him, I can not control the city putting in a new sewer line. Zero appreciation, poor communication and too many complaints and interruptions.

Wonderful Stay
The place is nice, spacy, and clean. Location is quiet and is only a short drive to restaurants and grocery stores. My only complain is the fact that guests are expected to wash the towels before checking out. If you take a shower the morning you chech out, you may not have enough time to wash the towels.

Chi & family were wonderful. Had I known I could have explained better. It's very helpful to not find a pile of 12-14 towels, plus sheets waiting to be done. That's hours. These are large houses, plus with the cleaning involved - it's appreciated to just help with the towels. A full laundry room is right there. I try to keep my prices low. Thank you.. ~ Peter

Great size, clean and well stocked for a family get away!
Peter's house was perfect for our family of five (plus and infant). Having four good sized bedrooms and an open concept living area we had plenty of space and didn't feel like we were "on top" of one another. Everyone in the family commented on appreciating the comfortable beds. We were in town for a long weekend and a wedding and were able to sneak in a short bit of beach time, which was an easy 15 min. drive. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, including coffee :). I highly recommend a stay here!

Perfect spot for visiting Oceanside family
We came into town for a wedding and this house was perfect for my family. The house is clean and spacious and has everything you need. My favorite part is that the home is right next to the San Luis Rey River trail. I took walks there every day. Although I didn't, you could easily bike to the beach on this trail in about 20 minutes or so. Our only challenge was the inability to control the air conditioning, which is set by the owner at 78. Peter was kind enough to lower the temperature a little for us, but there were occasions where it was uncomfortably warm, especially at night, as we prefer sleeping cool. That said, overall it was a very nice stay.

There is a notice from SDG&E right above the thermostat requesting homeowners set temperature at 78 degrees. This flex-plan is to avoid rolling blackouts by zip code, which I have already experienced. We were under a heat advisory. I too am subject to the same constraints. I see it as all of us doing our part to work with the system we are given.

It was a plesent surprise to feel as comfortable as we were. The house is bigger than the numbers suggests. And everything we needed was available to us. The owner Peter was always available and very helpful. It was easy to get around and the neighborhood was very quiet. I will definitely recommend this home if anyone is headed that way.
