House holiday rentals in Lake San Marcos

Fantastic stay! Cynthia was very responsive and the location was excellent. We’d gladly stay again!!

My family loved staying at Mayra's place, clean, very convenient, has everything you need, great pull and jacuzzi. She was very responsive and helpful whenever we needed. The only issue we had is the towels were washed but all in stains, I would recommend to take your own towels.

This house was beautiful and the pool was amazing! Gabe was responsive and very friendly. check in was easy. The beds were so comfy, and everything was pristine. thank you again for hosting my family of 9 plus doggies! we will Def be returning soon! p.s. The pool heating was so worth it!

We had an awesome week at Zeina and Mo’s place! The house is super comfortable and had plenty of space for our group of 7 adults to spread out. It was clean, well taken care of, and had everything we needed, including kitchen extras like foil and sandwich bags. The pool and hot tub were perfect for relaxing, and the oranges from the tree made the best orange juice for breakfast! Zeina and Mo were great with clear, detailed communication and quick replies whenever we had a question. We made some great memories here!

Amazing experience. Vi’s place was homey beyond expectation. My wife was very impressed with how available everything was especially in the kitchen because we are a family of 6 and always eating out would have not been cost effective. We felt right at home. My wife especially loved the complementary fruits, water, and treats. The kids rooms were packed with toys and books they could read and play with in their spare time which was amazing. The living room was filled with board games for the entire family. The garage also had amazing games for the entire family with foldable chairs and equipment for the beach and camping. There was so much to do in the house that staying in was not in the slightest boring. The entire family enjoyed the pool and the spa and had an amazing time especially on the days we stayed in. I certainly would be booking Vi’s place again anytime we are in San Diego.

I absolutely loved this place. There is so much to do within the home. The backyard is an amazing space with a pool/jacuzzi/ water slide, grill with fire pit, and yard games to include mini golf and ax throwing. The indoor space is equally amazing with a huge kitchen with everything you need , 2 lounging areas with TV’s, an Atari arcade game where you can relive your 80’s childhood and play pac- man and frogger. The bedrooms and bathroom were clean. The views from the home are beautiful, you can even see the ocean. My daughters live in San Diego and we live in Orange County so this was the perfect in between. It is close enough to the beach but far enough away that you don’t have to contend with beach traffic. It is also close to stores and restaurants but the house was so entertaining, we just stayed there all weekend, it was just perfect.

We had such an amazing time. So many activities to do at Kathleen’s. Our kids love the pond, swimming pool, fishing, pickleball, and appreciate all the outdoors amenities. Definitely a gem to visit for families. The home is a little dated. But all the outdoor activities make up for it.

What an incredible place to call home for a few days. This place had everything we needed to cook for our family, the pool and spa were amazing, and had some great hang out spaces for the family. Trevor and Heidi were quick to respond if we needed anything!

Guru quickly responded to my questions and was very accommodating. The house is beautiful and looks just like the pictures. All rooms are downstairs, only the primary bedroom is upstairs. We appreciated the quality of the bath products available for use.

Great peaceful two bedroom stay. We enjoyed our time here, and will definitely be returning next time we are in SD.

Kirk and Stefanie were very responsive and respectful throughout our stay. The description matched the listing and the location was great for the needs of our trip. Cute little house with lots to do nearby.

This airbnb was conveniently located and was as advertised. Place was clean and the check-in process was seamless. Would definitely check out other Wander locations in the future.

Robin was a great hostess. She was extremely responsive but we didn' really need to communicate with her ince we were checked in. The cottage was a beautiful little space that was perfect for my two older parents. The area was quiet, off set from the main street but still close enough (5-15mins) to groceries, shopping and the beach. The cottage has plenty of ameneties for your stay and 1 spot for parking.

Viktoriya was a great host and the backyard was truly an oasis! Also the beds were sooo comfortable. If we are ever back in Carlsbad we will be staying again! Cannot recommend enough:)

What a wonderful stay! Natalie was so friendly and proactive, which made us feel welcome before we even arrived. It's rare to find a place that is even better than the photos, but this was it. The entire home was immaculate, and we loved the artistic touches that made the space feel so warm and unique. We all slept so well—the beds are incredibly comfortable. It truly felt less like a rental and more like we were staying at the home of a friend with impeccable taste. And a special shout-out to your two pugs—though we never formally met them, their charming, invisible presence made for the perfect, quietest roommates and really completed the "at-home" feeling! The peaceful neighborhood and seamless process, from check-in to checkout, allowed us to truly relax. It's an ideal spot for a solo traveler or a small family of 3-4. Thank you, Natalie for sharing your lovely home with us! Highly, highly recommend. Canvas

I can not reccomend thee Humming Bird Hide awaay enough. Close to the beach and Lego Land not far from all the San Diego parks (Sea World, Zoo, Safari Park, Balboa Park). Lots of great restaurants nearby. The view of the mountain side homes was peaceful. Lots of places to relax around the pool and AWAY from the pool. Pool Table Work Out Room and more. Downstairs master suite (the other one there are two) was peaceful and allowed for early to bed (us) late to bed (adult kids). Had my family who live in OC and LA over twice enjoy the place. Lastly and not least was our host Travis. Great communcatotr and wen out of his way to make sure we were all comfortable and had what we needed. Great place to vacation and relax, and while the pictures and price look too good to be true, the rality is even better.

Kellys place was just as described; super loaded with things to do, games of every kind, ping pong in the garage ( a blast) a firepit and life-size chessboard in the backyard ( we played) and in walking distance of VONS grocery and a nice shopping center (a few of us walked there). The bedding was super comfy and I LOVE the plantation shutters which showcase the beautiful surroundings. I also want to thank Kelly for being so helpful. I reached out a few days before our check-in and asked if she had a cofee grinder (they have both a kuerig and regular coffee pot) and she said she thought they did, but if they didn't, she''d buy one. And It was there upon check-in. :-) The BEST! We highly recommend, miss it and would stay there again in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful stay! Host is very responsive. The home is extremely well kept, clean, exactly as described and pictured in the photos! Very comfortable and they provided a pack n play and booster seat for our baby. Lovely backyard. The home is located in a nice neighborhood and nearby a grocery store & some restaurants. We would definitely book again!

Drakes place is AMAZING! It was a home away from home. We had 3 toddlers (1, 2, 4) with us, they played in the backyard and it was completely safe for them. All of our needs were met down to an extra crib. He is super laid back and very accommodating, I noticed this from our first interaction. I encourage you to BOOK RIGHT NOW, you will be pleased. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. My family loved it and we would definitely book here again.

Beautiful Air B&B. We came to stay for memorial day weekend, and take our kids to the zoo and wild animal park. The location was gorgeous, it was clean and cozy, perfect for our little family. Michael was extremely responsive and nice. The pool, the view, the comfortable bed, I can't say enough about this place. As much as we like to stay at new places each time we travel - next time we make our way out towards San Diego, we would love to stay at Michael's place again. Thank you so much for opening your beautiful home to us !

It was absolutely charming. We enjoyed our short stay, only regret was not having more time to enjoy it more. Beds and bedding was comfortable. Kitchen is fully stocked. Plenty of thick towels and beach towels. My grandsons loved sleeping in the loft. We were 20 minutes away from Sea World minutes from great parks for the boys. The owner was wonderful. Thank you so much.... We will book again. Chris and Lorena & four grandsons

We had a wonderful time at Lori’s place! It was perfect for our family of 8, with children and grandchildren. The kiddos loved the pool and we enjoyed the jacuzzi. The outside patio set was perfect for meals and coffee in the morning. There are several options for outside seating that are nice. We took advantage of the gas grill and had a nice family dinner with a local friend. We also appreciated the washer and dryer in the garage. If your family likes TV, there are plenty to go around with one in each room! The neighborhood is nice for walking or you could go across the main road for a 2.3 mile trail. The home is close to Legoland and Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream in Carlsbad- we went twice! Overall, this home met our needs and I would recommend it for a large family. Thanks, Lori!

Staying at Fortuna Farm Ranch was truly a magical experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by stunning views of rolling hills, lush greenery, and the calming sounds of nature all around us. The peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind and recharge. What made our stay even more special was the incredible hospitality of the host. He brought us the most delicious fresh fruits grown right on his farm—. It’s rare to find a place that feels both luxurious and grounded in nature, but Fortuna Farm Ranch does exactly that. Whether you’re looking to relax, reconnect, or just soak in some beautiful scenery, this place is a hidden gem in Encinitas. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

This was our second stay at the Casita and it was just as wonderful as our first. We had 4 adults working remotely while the rest of the group (including kids) enjoyed the pool and game room. The house was perfectly set up for this. We also took advantage of the rooftop and had the loveliest evenings listening to music and winding down by the fire pit. This rental will continue to be in rotation for future trips.
