We are between homes and live in the North County of San Diego. We really enjoyed our stay at this property. I had some doubts when we booked because 1) It seemed like it might be a little out of the way and 2) I am always a little leery when the owner also lives on the property.
I was wrong on both accounts. My job takes me to many areas of North County as well as San Diego city itself. Despite being in a rural, ranch-like setting, access to all the major routes is minutes away and easy to get to. While the accommodations were only 15 feet away from the owner's home, we never felt his presence or sensed anything other than feeling like we were in our own private place in the country.
As for the accommodations themselves, this was one of the largest, best equipped owner rented spots my wife and I have expediency. You won't be bumping into each other or moving out of the way to let your significant other get to the bathroom, or kitchen, or closet, or whatever. Oh yeah the closet. Did I mention it's a walk in? My wife was in heaven.
Huge comfy sofa in the living room, full kitchen well equipped with no less than three types of coffee - makers, pantry, washer-dryer, full bath with jacuzzi tub, large TV in living room and large TV in a large bedroom and the peace and quiet of country living while only a couple miles away from getting to everything else North County offers (Legoland, Carlsbad, beautiful beaches).
Definitely two BIG thumbs up for me.
