Perfect for families with kids!
Lovely outdoor space with pool, hot tub, and eating area/bbq. The game room was a big hit especially with the kids. The bedrooms were spacious and all had their own bathroom which was another plus! Owners were very responsive during our stay and we would definitely come back!

Lovely house in the hills
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very nice, the pool and hot tub were great, the game room was so fun, and the yard was beautiful and even had fruit trees. The owners were very helpful during our stay and easy to communicate with. Aside from a few minor issues our stay was fabulous. Only thing I’d suggest is adding a dresser to the second bedroom upstairs for storage since there’s no closet. Otherwise the house is perfect. We had 4 adults and 1 child with us and we all fit comfortably with room to spare. If we come back to the San Diego area in the future I would definitely rent this home again!

Great time at the Hilltop Getaway!
Our group of 8 had a lovely time at the Hilltop Getaway. Wonderful sunset views each evening. Game room got a lot of use by the kids and adults with a variety of games to give everyone something to do. The pool and hot tub were great for relaxing with a nice outdoor patio area for grilling and chilling. Very responsive property manager throughout the process.

All in one resort
It was a fantastic place to stay. This place has it all. The game room for everyone ages 8 to 88, the pool was amazing - the hot tub was the perfect ending to every night before bed. The bedrooms and bathroom were spacious, the kitchen wasn't truly used - as we cooked outside. The refrigerator had plenty of room- the ice maker was not working. Would definitely stay here again and again!

The house was amazing! Very roomy and well decorated. We loved the pool, hot tube and game room!
The house was a nicely situated up a short mountain drive which added a sense of privacy. It was very clean with a few exceptions. Lots and of rules to follow and we did our best to comply with our large group of 16. The outside landscaping is a work in progress as we where there early in the season.. The pool was very clean and well maintained. Overall a wonderful stay!

What a great experience. This property is super nice! First night we sat outside by the pool had dinner, wine and talked till late. Did not have to worry about the young ones as the location had plenty for them to do. We had a ball, no pun intended, just relaxing with family members at the game room.

Family Vacation
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.

Magical
First, the views! The views aren’t praised enough and they are gorgeous! The house was surrounded by beautiful flowers and trees and the grounds were well kept. The house was clean and ready for us. Bedding & beds were SUPER comfortable. Lots of options for families with kids. The living room wasn’t super comfy for a larger party (not enough space or furniture for the whole family to hang and watch a movie which we wanted to do often after a long day). The pool And hot tub were super clean, pool toys included for the kids. The house was well stocked with shampoo/body wash/conditioner/sponges/dish soap/hand soap/laundry soap etc. Kitchen was well stocked too. Kcups included but no sugar or creamer. The game room was so fun for us all and it even had toys for the younger kids. The neighborhood was quiet and not far from lots of activities in San Diego or Escondido but far enough for quiet and privacy.
