Fabulous home
Very well appointed home with a fabulous backyard for entertaining family and friends. Swam in the pool every afternoon and BBQ’d several evenings. Chilly evenings good for sitting around the fire pit with wine. We had plans to hike and visit the sights in San Diego but instead just relaxed by the pool and had marathon cards games. A very enjoyable week!!

Poor response to non-functioning hot tub
Property is fairly well furbished but could use more cookware and bake ware.
Hot tub was not functioning on our arrival, which was reported immediately. The issue was not resolved until the last day - so 1 day of 5 the hot tub was working. Really bad preparation as it seemed the problem was known to exist.
Contact person was nice and professional just didn't get things done quickly.
Good luck.

Spacious relaxing getaway
This property was so much bigger than we expected! The front and backyard are packed full of beautiful vegetation as well and we ate some fruit from the trees and saw so many hummingbirds and butterflies. Very nice neighborhood with nice neighbors. The pool was great and very clean.

Stay at the Orchard
Everything about this house was wonderful. It was comfortable and clean. Check-in time is 4:00 and they stuck to that, it would've been nice to get a little early since we arrived earlier than expected. The wi-fi code was hard to find. There were many extra touches that made this a special property including the grounds. The trees and plants are beautiful.

So great, we want to come back!
Our stay at the "The Orchard" was just perfect. I had a question about the pool heating and the owner replied back to me so quickly. She also offered a lot of really great suggestions for things to do in the area and places to eat. My husband and I were celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary. We went to a restaurant in Del Mar (suggested by the owner) for a sunset dinner and it was perfect! We were so surprised and appreciative to see a really cute personalized message left for us on the digital thermostat in the house on our first night (would attach a pic if I could). Without giving too much away, we were also delighted by another welcome surprise on the dining table when we checked in. The house itself is pristine and everything is labelled clearly so it made navigating the house or finding things like cooking tools, extra towels/blankets a breeze. I've stayed in a lot of rentals through similar apps and this property is one of my favorites. From the layout of the property to the artwork and overall design, "The Orchard" was exactly the kind of getaway we were looking for. From the driveway to the backyard it is absolutely stunning and I can't say enough wonderful things about our experience. The guest contacts are available 24/7 and answer right away. Note - phone call or text is the fastest way to get a response but they make sure to let you know this in the listing. The neighborhood is quiet and the vibe of the whole property is perfect if you're looking for a serene place to retreat from the hustle and bustle. We loved our stay so much we're still feeling the positive effects and even suggested planning another trip with our family in the warmer months. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience! Although it may sound cliche, I would truly give more stars in this review if I could.
