Christmas Vacation

Place was beautiful and had all the amenities you could possibly need. We loved having coffee on the deck every morning and even brought our dogs as well as they loved the quiet and paths to take walks on. We will be staying here every time we come to visit family! Highly recommend!

Love this Casita

This is the second time we stayed here and will absolutely be back again. The property is beautiful and exactly as pictured- rural but less than 10 minutes to the I-15 freeway, so convenient to everything. The hosts are super nice people and easy to work with. We love everything about this property.

The view of a lifetime

The cozy guesthouse is comfortable and quite private from the adjacent main house. Our small dog enjoyed looking at the llama, donkey, and three goats who were on their side of the fence. And the view to the west and the north is spectacular! A great getaway!

Perfection

We loved everything about this location. Only wish we would have stayed in a little more and utilized the bbq and patio. Gorgeous location, very well set up, friendly host. Everything was clean and worked well Can't think of anything we needed that they didn't have. When we look back on this trip, staying here will be one of the highlights.

What a great place! View is beautiful! We loved just sitting out on the patio. The house is nice, bed was very comfortable, kitchen had about all you’d need even though we only ate breakfast in each day! There is construction going on but it never bothered us! Thank you Jay & Helen you are great host!

The view is stunning. One of the most beautiful properties I have ever been. The house itself was comfortable and had everything we needed. The hosts were super friendly and helpful.

Gorgeous Views and away from Hustle and Bustle!

The property is set in an awesome location on a small mountain where you can see the ocean (long distance), the surrounding mountain and Gorgeous sunsets over distant mountains. It is close to freeway access where you can go to San Diego, Oceanside and Carlsbad within a 30 minutes if you want. Or just stay and enjoy the hummingbirds, goats, donkey, and lama and the peacefulness of the setting! We loved it and hope to go back again!

Didn’t want to leave

This place is a fine! Even though there are others on the property, it was like we were totally isolated and private. I my wife joke that we needed to put an offer in on the unit we stayed in because it was so perfect and comfortable I’m not very good at reviews, but all I can do is give us the highest recommendation and thank you J and Hallinan for a great place to stay. We will be back sometime in the future.

Large Custom Guest House On Hill Top Estate In Bonsall

My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay at this property it was the type of place we needed for a long stay and was pretty much centrally located to everything we wanted to do and see. My only criticism would be on the cleanliness of the guest house, it was definitely not up to our standards. However bear in mind that my wife and I are very particular when it comes to cleanliness. Our overall impression was that it is a great place with wonderful owners, but would benefit from a deep clean and a fresh coat of paint on the interior, it would look like a million bucks! We would and may stay at this property again. We stayed at the property for 6 consecutive weeks.

Almost perfect romantic getaway!

My wife and I had a fabulous stay with gorgeous sunsets all 3 nights. Pictures online were a perfect match for what we experienced first-hand. The owners walked us to the property and gave us a quick tour and even allowed us to have purchased items mailed to the property when the forecast changed to 90 degree weather. Simple beauty, private, and could hear the birds and animals morning and night. A little rustic and shower has super powerful pressure but I think the owners are adjusting that and we loved it overall!

Great views but very poorly maintained unit

If all you want is a spectacular view, you will be happy. But the cluttered, rummage sale interior will not impress most short term visitors. The huge old overstuffed furniture was way to large for such a small casita. The refrigerator was dirty and half full of open food containers from a previous occupant. The linen appeared to be clean but nothing else was and we spent the first day sweeping, wiping down floors and dirty counters. We threw out very old food in the pantry including moldy flour, rancid spices etc. There was deferred maintenance in numerous areas including a leak under the kitchen sink, cracked toilet bowl and dried out wood work, Frankly, we should have left after the first night but for the fact that we prepaid and did not want to get into a problem with the owners. This unit was far from prepared for a vacation rental and is very inconvenient to services and attractions, of that we were pretty much aware but we were unprepared for the condition of the unit and were happy to leave two days early than our lease period.

Pictures were deceiving

I was very disappointed with this place. It was very dirty: all apliances including the refrigerator which was very dirty, had lots of leftovers and the freezer leaked into the refrigerator. The dish soap was even watered down! I asked the owners for my cleaning deposit back. They said no. I was forced to either pay $59 for liability ins or a $1500 refundable deposit. This is what I wrote to the owners and offered to show pictures: NOT AS PICTURED! Microwave dirty and doesn't turn Refrigerator dirty and leaks Stove dirty Washer filthy Watered down dishsoap Messy drawers Decor cheesy On a scale of 1 to 10? 2.5 ,-( They watered down the dish soap! Thd bathroom suppof shamp, etc were patgetic-1/41/2 inch in a mess of bottles dumped in a basket Not cozy Messy patio Bad lighting Faucet doesn't turn or pull put Noisy dogs I feel that they were trying to get the most money for the least amount of effort on their part. I left one day early snd i would never recommend this place anyone.

Amazing view, but there are problems.

The view is incredible, and at first glance the unit is charming. The bed is super comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was great. The owners/managers are kind, answer immediately and seem to genuinely want to please. But there are problems. There were dirty dishes in the cupboard and a cleaning rag left drying on the bathroom plunger. Toaster crumbs all over the cupboard. We really began to wonder what is actually clean in this unit. The owners are appropriately apologetic and responsive, but who is overseeing the maintenance and cleaning? And it is bad business to have visitors in your unit at the same time there is major construction on the property. We should have been notified of that before arrival and offered an option to cancel the booking. Add to that minor maintenance on the actual unit during our visit which required we either stay to hear every bang of the hammer and screech of the motors or abandon the area and leave the unit unsecured with our property inside for the day. So the view was amazing, but the stay was less than the tranquil visual would imply.

Well Beyond Expectations!!! A+++++

So I wanted a less expensive place to stay so I selected this place....I was going to be there a week because my son was at a football camp in Carlsbad...30 minutes away. Let me tell you the 30 minutes each way every day was nothing as I was excited to return to my mini retreat home! This could really be advertised as a place for a mini retreat and they can double or triple their price. The views are breath taking...the sunset amazing! As for the unit, A+. Clean and modern. Kitchen with everything you need...Nice living room with amazing views....beautiful bedroom with amazing views... and I loved the large shower in the bathroom with strong water pressure...I would extend my shower as it was so nice. For sleeping arrangements....the queen bed in the bedroom was sooooo comfortable. You could tell it was high quality. The sofa bed in the living room was great too. It's unusual as they have a deflated air bed in the sofa....you pull it out, plug it in and it inflates. The first night wasn't that comfortable as it was a little uneven, but the next night we put the air mattress on the floor and my son LOVED it....he said it was so comfortable. My son also became fast friends with the goats. I think if I ever need to get away to get my head together (I'm from NH), I would come to this amazing retreat house! One more thing, I was sitting out one early morning just enjoying the view and meditating, and 2 humming birds appeared and hovered over a flowered bush....magical! Jay and Helen were great too : )
