This is a very unique and private single-story multi-level home tucked away in the beautiful rolling hills of Vista. The property is surrounded by beautiful mature landscape and offers a peaceful, quiet, picturesque, and relaxing ambiance.
Guests are welcome to walk around the 5-acre property and check out all the animals from outside their fencing! (guided tours inside the enclosures are available upon request).
If you're looking for adventure, you're in luck! There is a hiking trail that starts right from the property; enjoy golfing at nearby courses, visit the nearby beaches of Carlsbad and Oceanside, and take a day trip to nearby tourist destinations such as The Safari Park, Legoland, SeaWorld, Sandiego Zoo, and Balboa Park. There is an excellent winery just a few minutes away. Also, Vista is the mecca of microbreweries, with many excellent ones nearby, including the famous Stone Brewery. There is also indoor skydiving nearby, indoor kart racing, trampoline park, and rock-climbing gyms. You can also take a drive along the coast to downtown San Diego or up to Orange County or LA.
Note: The swimming pool at this property does not have a child-proof barrier around it and, therefore, can be very dangerous to toddlers, small children, or anyone who can't swim. It is very important that you communicate this to everyone in your group, and that all adults take on the responsibility of being vigilant and protecting those most vulnerable. Please also inform the children of the dangers of drowning and to keep away from the pool when no adults are present. If you book this house, you assume full responsibility for yourself and your group in regard to this particular hazard.
PETTING ZOO: We have a beautiful little petting zoo just a one-minute walk away from this home that you and your family can enjoy during your stay; we have two mini horses, a giant tortoise, a llama, two kune-kune pigs, and several beautiful Nigerian dwarf goats (they all have names). All are very friendly as they've been around people their whole lives; we've had most of them since they were babies. During your stay, you're welcome to come over and visit them any time from outside their enclosures, or you can schedule a time with us to take you inside the enclosures and introduce you to all our furry babies; you'll be able to pet them, get pictures with them and give them treats, they love apples, strawberries, and lettuce. And if you have any small children under five years old, they might be able to get a tiny ride on our giant tortoise as he chases after his lettuce :)

(this doesn't mean you have to stop enjoying yourselves; it just means that if you're still up having a good time with your group past 9 pm, we just need for you to take it inside the house behind closed doors and windows. The idea is so that our neighbors can't hear you. We, like most vacation homes, are located in neighborhoods where people go to bed early and wake up early to go to work, so we must ensure our guests are respectful of this.)

Pool heat: This pool is a “heated pool”, and like all heated pools, it runs on a solar system that turns on automatically when it’s sunny and when the air is warm (80°+) which is usually between May and October. The solar system will likely not run between November and April unless we have an odd warm day. Note that a very nice pool temperature is between 85° and 87° and outside air temperature needs to be very close to that or higher in order for the pool to reach and hold that temperature.
NOTE: At our discretion, we may charge a refundable damage deposit upfront before your check-in date, which may range between $300 to $1,000 depending on various factors such as: Which home you rent; How many homes you rent; The nature of your stay; The number of guests you plan on having -including daytime guests; The number of kids in your group; If you do not have a 5-star rating, or if you lack any prior history or reviews.
This refundable damage deposit will be refunded after the house has been cleaned and we've received our cleaning report from our cleaning team or within seven days from your check-out date. The reason for the grace period is that if there is damage that requires repairs, we need to have the time to get repair estimates.
