What an amazing stay at this stunning property. We truly felt like we were at a resort with the amenities and backyard space. We used all areas of the spacious yard. The interior was equally stunning, from the open concept which allowed us to all be together to the large sitting areas so everyone was comfortable. The communication with Mark was quick and easy. He was accommodating to ensure that we were comfortable after a lo my day of traveling. Everything was clean and nicely decorating. There really wasn’t anything else that we needed. We would highly recommend this beautiful space to people looking for a home away from home!

The kitchen was equipped for cooking including a lot of details I don’t normally see in most VRBO’s. The entertainment activities for kids and teens were perfect. The only issue was the maintaining heat in the heated pool and hot tub. Otherwise, the host was attentive and answered any questions we had immediately. The attention to details provided in the home was outstanding.

This was the most comfortable convenience day I’ve ever had. We came for a wedding and stayed with my family of five my in-laws and my niece and her family of four. We were all comfortable. Had enough space for all of us to spend time together and would highly recommend this location to anyone. We will definitely book again the next time we have to come for a wedding or event.

Our family had a wonderful time! The house was perfect for all of us with plenty of space for family dinners and kids to run and play. It was especially nice to have a bathroom attached to every bedroom. The kitchen was very well stocked with items to cook and serve large meals. The property is lovely with several neat places to explore and play outdoor games. There's a large game room which was perfect for the kids to be together and in their own space. The home was very clean and well stocked with towels, sheets & blankets, etc. There were also sand toys, beach chairs & boogie boards for a wonderful day at the beach. The house is well-placed for short day trips out to legoland, the beach, the flower field, etc. Mark was very communicative and responsive. We all had such a great time together and this home was perfect for our needs.

Wonderful Estate

The house is fantastic! It has a large family room with an open floor plan to the kitchen and eating area. This allowed our whole family to gather and talk. If wanted a quiet time, there are places outside to sit or rest (hammock) and reflect. The host was responsive and very kind. The house is better than the VRBO listing. We had a wonderful family reunion. Everything was perfect from the pool to the game room to the kitchen!

Bella Buena

The Buena Creek Refuge is indeed a beautiful refuge. We felt relaxed the moment we popped out of the cars. Nine of us spent 6 nights celebrating our 50th anniversary and visiting the area attractions. It was wonderful to have the Refuge to come home to rather than some hotel. The 2 grandkids loved the pool and climbing to the gazebo almost as much as Legoland. Great kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining areas and did I mention 5 king beds! Our host was easy to communicate with and I enjoyed all our exchanges. On a scale of 1 to 5, it’s at least a 6!

Great stay in Vista CA

Th property was lovely and well equipped. We did have problems with the internet connection frequently going out. Our host stayed in touch through the week and attended to any minor problems swiftly. I was disappointed with the 5th bedroom. The bed was a trundle and the room didn’t have a closet or dresser. We were a group of 10 adults all over 60. I am sure guests needing a large house will enjoy this terrific property.
