Home was very much like the pictures. The pool and the game room were huge highlights for us, and we spent a lot of time swimming and playing games, when we weren't out seeing the sights around San Diego. Escondido is a hike from San Diego, but we knew that. Plenty of room in the house for everyone to stretch out. Would be nice to have a place where you can all sit and watch a movie, but we weren't really inside that much anyway. The view is awesome all the way around. The owner Mo is very responsive and quick to get back if there are issues. Also liked that the basics were provided, such as toilet paper, coffee and laundry detergent. Have rented VRBO's that didn't have those things, and it's inconvenient for sure. Lovely place overall.
