We have just returned to icy Ireland from your Oceanside paradise. We arranged for a special Christmas holiday with our family from Ireland and Australia. Everything was perfect ... from your help in advance of our arrival to your magnificent house being perfect in every detail.
As well as this the location is great for all California's famous attractions.
We hope to return to this Oceanside paradise soon..... you should too! |

Thank you so much for the opportunity to enjoy
your wonderful house. We had a great time and
everyone loved the place! We were so impressed
with all the little "extras" available (scooters, bikes,
dishware, pool toys, etc etc). It really made the stay
that much more enjoyable. Not to mention the
wonderful job of decorating the inside and
landscaping the outside. The kids especially
enjoyed the little kids nook under the stairway.
What a fun place to spend a week!! Our older son
(3.5 years old) now calls it our "san diego house" ...
we only wish!
We had a blast! |

| What a great vacation house for a family! The house is large and has lots of extras.....bikes, beach chairs, boogie boards, toys, playground for kids, let alone the gorgeous and large backyard that was like paradise! The pool and hot tub were amazing and the BBQ area was so fun with a TV and lots of room to eat outside. Our weather was perfect and we enjoyed our stay so much! Great place to hang out with your family and make memories! We loved it! |

| Our family, ranging from 3 to 92 had a wonderful time in this amazing house. It was even nicer than depicted in the pictures. Everyothing anyone could want was provided. As the 6 year old said, "This house is awesome!" The house and grounds were immaculate. The kids, of course, loved the back yard, the princess room, the pirate room, all the games and movies provided and the bikes. The 92 year old enjoyed watching the children have fun without having to entertain them. After sending our friends pictures of our vacation, several asked what resort we went to. It is more than a house, it is an experience! One can tell the Wilhites care about their guests, providing only the very best. We hope this won't be our last time there. |

| This place was amazing and wonderful for our whole family. The backyard is unbelievable - like a resort! We loved the pool, loved cooking out and especially loved sitting in front of the outdoor fireplace late at night after the kids had been put to bed. It was a special vacation that our family will remember forever - thank you so much for sharing this beautiful paradise! |

| Wow! What a great house!! We were amazed from the minuet we pulled into the drive way. The house was beautiful from the inside out! Very, very clean and well kept! Beautifully decorated. We were very comfortable as the house was very welcoming! The back yard is paradise. The kids never wanted to leave the house! There were 2 families in our group. 8 people total and we were very comfortable. Plenty of space for everyone! I would highly recommend this house!! We hope to return soon! |

We had a great time using this wonderful home as our home base this week! Though we enjoyed many activities, the house was a tremendous place for our family and offered something for the 18 month old to the 12 year old to the young at heart. My children think the only thing that would improve the house is if we somehow owned it! Thanks for the great week!

We had the most amazing family vacation at Casa de Allegra. We flew in from Michigan, Canada, and New Zealand. The five kids, 4 and under loved everything about the house. It was hard to get them to leave to go and explore what the surrounding area had to offer! The play area under the stairs, the pool, trampoline, play house, slide, and swings, etc, kept them entertained for hours.
The owners really have thought of everything to make your stay a vacation to remember. Thank you!

| Great place to stay! Fabulous house w/ great hosts. We had a hard time leaving to see all SoCa has to offer. Thank goodness we stayed 2 weeks. The house was clean and very child friendly. Nothing bad to say except that our house, now that we are back home, is very boring especially in the eyes of a 3 and 5 year old. Dont hesitate to book this one. It is worth every penny. |

As I write this note, my daughter is crying that we have to leave your sanctuary for our cold and dreary Midwest spring weather. You did an amazing job designing and decorating both the inside and the outside of your home. We were so comfortable all week long. We hope that you will continue to rent your home as we would love to make it our annual spring break destination. Thank you for your hospitality!

FROM OUR GUESTBOOK: Wow! What can I say to describe this fantastic vacation. We spent Christmas here with family and friends in the beautiful San Diego sunshine. The home was filled with warmth. We could definitely feel that this is a home that was filled with lots of love and well taken care of.
We spent my husband's birthday here with family and friends on January 5th and had an early birthday for myself which was still beautiful on January 17th.
Thank you Carrie, Brad and family for providing such a wonderful environment to share. We would love to spend more time here in the future. Thanks again for the most awesome vacation ever.

There was plenty of space for everyone inside and the backyard was better than a resort (all the facilities but all to ourselves). The kids had so much fun in the pool and playground. The extras in the house like strollers, bed rails, highchair, etc were really appreciated with little kids. We didn't want to leave! |

We had a wonderful time staying at this home. The
backyard is the best and great for kids and adults.
They had everything there to accomodate us and
we couldn't imagine a better house especially for
the price. It is a great location, not actually walking
distance to the beach, but a very short drive. There
is plenty of shopping nearby and the freeway on
ramps are 60 seconds away. It is a fantastic place
to stay. You won't be disappointed. |

Homeowner Response:
The distance to the ocean from Casa de Allegra is exactly 1.1 miles as stated in our rental description. The walk is a very easy one and mostly a gradual downhill walk. If you do not want to drive, it is easy to walk and my husband and I do it with our kids often! It's also a great workout in the morning, on very safe streets and almost a straight line to the beach!

The furnishings for the home including the kitchen were all so nice and we felt right at home. We appreciated how clean and well kept everything was and really enjoyed our stay.

| The PERFECT family vacation! We were looking for a vacation home where our 3 married daughters(with small children) could join us and our teenage daughter. We thought we were looking for a beach house...until we saw this! The pictures on the website can't accurately show how wonderful the yard really is. The location is great..5 minutes to the beach, easy freeway access for excursions to SanDiego attractions, and close to shopping & restraunts. We cooked most of our own meals and found the kitchen nicely equipped, and enjoyed the outdoor barbeque area tremendously. This home is a relaxing resort for adults and a wonderland for kids. When my daughter was getting off the freeway in Phoenix yesterday and announced "We're almost home" her 3 year old started wailing "No, no, not THIS home..the OTHER home" I think he speaks for all of us. I would highly reccommend this property to other families. |
