Safari Vines Retreat

Loved the home, and can’t wait to come back. Walked every morning, family was all within 10 minutes. Also close to the Safari Park, restaurants and shopping!

Our stay was wonderful! The home was large, plenty space with 3 br 5 beds, was clean, modern, pretty, and the owners were very helpful and timely in communication. I had no concerns with my stay. It is about 30 minutes to downtown San Diego, so it can be expensive if you Uber back and forth downtown, but is close to the safari which is what we were looking for.

We had an fabulous stay in this amazing newly remodeled house. It had all new appliances and everything was updated on the house. The security motion light kept going off making it hard to sleep but the next day I email Michael and he turned them off for us. The front door was a code so my kids could come and go and not worry about a key. There was plenty of beds. One of the bathrooms had a big tub if you are into taking a nice bath. Overall its a really great house! This house is close to everything you could possible want. We had a great visit with our family which was only 10 minutes away. Thank you for letting us stay in your VRBO.

Overall the place was fine. There were no major issues, but a lot of small annoying ones. This place would be great for a group of dudes on a trip, but not a place for families that plan to LIVE in the place that they are staying. The place was extremely clean, however it was a lot of odor from the cleaning products. I appreciated that it was clean, but.... TOO MUCH. There were also no bags for trash anywhere within the house or in the trashcan under the sink which meant it was not possible to take out the trash at all while there. There is a nice new oven and gas range, but no oven safe pans to use and barely any cooking utensils. No cutting boards, foil, saran wrap, chef knives, not even salt or pepper. Feeding my kids was not possible. The master bedroom and kids room both had motion sensor lights that were bright and lit up the windows off & on. It made it impossible for me and my kids to sleep. Our first night was horrendous due to the light out my daughter's window waking her up on repeat. I ended up buying black trash bags & masking tape to try mitigating the problem. Another issue was the soap/shamp/cond dispensers (full but not labeled except the conditioner) that were stuck down in the little nook in the shower, so they couldn't actually be used as dispensers. Lastly, it was cold out and the thermostat was hanging off the wall and didn't work/couldn't be adjusted (wiring?) and the blankets were cheap/ weren't warm at all. Overall fine, but wouldn't go back.
