Beautiful Home, Would Recommend

The home was beautiful, just as pictured and described! The house had a basket of snacks on the table and stocked with games for kids, which my boys loved. It was very thoughtful making it feel like home away from home for them. We were very satisfied with everything, and communication with the host was excellent! Would highly recommend this property!!

Host profile image
I'm a fun-loving mom & wife, who owns her own interior design business. I have a passion for design, quality and service and bring that to our property "The Modern Escape". My husband and I dream of living in San Diego County once the kiddo grows up, which is why we are hosting our dream home in Lake San Marcos, CA. We work hard to make sure our guests experience the magic that we do each!

Why they chose this property

Welcome to the beautiful community of Lake San Marcos. This is a walkable community that is centered around the Lakehouse Resort, which has drawn restaurants and vacation goers. It is a very peaceful neighborhood which is perfect for destressing and unwinding. You'll feel a nice California, lake-beach vibe, as you eat overlooking the lake or face off in a game of pickleball. And when you are not recharging here, you are a stones throw away from great beaches, hikes and activities. Enjoy!

What makes this property unique

🏠︎ Professionally remodeled, designed and furnished
🏠︎ Professionally cleaned and stocked
🏠︎ Mountain views out of all rooms
🏠︎ Walkable to the Lake and Amenities (heated pool, pickleball, gym, etc)
