Perfect stay for family getaway!

Stayed at this location for Thanksgiving with a large family (14) with members of all ages, from infant to seniors! The house was clean, well stocked and great for families! I appreciated having a pack and play onsite as well as a bathtub for baby - super thoughtful! Beds were soft and comfortable and there was plenty of space for a large party to spread out and feel at home. The amenities were modern and we were able to cook a large Thanksgiving feast with ease. Dylan checked in with us often and was a great host: responsive, communicative, and informative. We will definitely book again in the future and recommend to others!

Comfort for all

Our extended family of 15 just had a wonderful stay at this lovely house. We were delighted with the spaciousness and overall accommodations: Bedrooms in 4 different areas, so lots of privacy, but also plenty of room in the kitchen, living room, and back patio for togetherness time. The grill and fire pit were a real bonus as well. They made our last evening there very special.

Wonderful Oasis

We spent a wonderful week, staying at Paradise Palms. The backyard oasis is 5 star, and we loved the location close to the Carlsbad beaches. The kitchen is fully equipped and Dylan is a fabulously responsive host. The only issue was a persistent musty smell on the bottom level, where 3 of the 6 bedrooms are…the smell did not abate with the new central air conditioning, and opening windows/doors. The source of this musty smell needs to be found and remedied for us to return to this unique property.

My family and I stayed here at the Paradise Palms Retreat for 3 nights and we had an absolute blast! The whole property was a perfect place to have our small intimate wedding. Beautiful lush landscaping, fun game room, and gorgeous house with a fun layout. We will definitely be back when our whole family is in town again. A HUGE THANK YOU to Dylan and his team for being such amazing hosts!! Very quick to respond and accommodating to all our needs, because of him is why our stay and special day was so smooth and perfect can't thank you enough!! A++++

Beautiful Unforgettable Hidden Gem!

I was looking for a place to have a very intimate immersive gathering with some friends and family and I felt so thankful to have found Paradise Palms! Dylan is a fantastic communicator and so friendly, he really made everything so easy for our time there. The property is so beautiful, it really is a palm paradise! Everything was so clean, the kitchen well stocked, and every bedroom is spacious. The beds were so comfortable, and the house felt cozy even with it’s spacious size. The backyard is gorgeous! We spent most of our time outside. Overall, it was a really beautiful and unforgettable time. We will definitely be booking again. You will love your stay here!

Reunion

Great property for large groups, particularly if you plan to cook and have outdoor meals at the property. Property is beautiful and as advertised. We appreciated the large tables both indoors and outdoors on the day that we grilled. The furniture and kitchen appliances were plentiful and glassware well-stocked. The house was convenient to multiple tourist attractions with plenty of parking. There were multiple air conditioning units which made the temperature comfortable throughout. We are a pretty easy-going group, so sharing bathrooms was not an issue. There is a nice play area with ping-pong set - press pound after the code to gain entry. Good communication with the property manager who is keen to ensure everyone is having a great time. Comments for a pleasant stay - our kids only ate at the designated dining areas, and the furniture in the common areas is designed for adult usage. I would advise you pack extra beach towels, sand toys, or tents if you plan to visit the beach while here. There is laundry on site, but it is easier to bring your own extra towels rather than launder before needing to shower after a day at the beach. I would also take inventory of what is in the kitchen before going to the grocery store for paper products, aluminum foil, etc. There are plenty of grocery stores nearby, and even within walking distance. There were seasonings, etc. which made it easier to cook. The neighborhood seems nice, safe, and convenient to get around. Overall I would certainly recommend this beautiful site for your vacation needs, whether it is with family, friends, or for an event! I can imagine weddings being beautiful here. Thank you, Dylan, for your attentive communication before, during, and after our stay!

A perfect stay for our wedding party

We had a group of 5 couples, 2 kids, and 1 dog staying here for our wedding celebrations. Communication with Dylan was so clear and quick, and he was so accommodating with check in and check out, guests who misplaced items, and changing situations. The day of our wedding, we had our hair and make up artists work in the dining room and bathroom with people going in and out to help with all the wedding preparations. There was not one moment when I felt that the property was too crowded or small for what was happening. I’d definitely recommend this space for bigger parties!

Wedding Week

The home is located on a hill with a great view and has lots of room. I would ask that they disclose that one of the rooms does not have access to a bathroom unless they go outside. A digital lock on the kitchen door would have been helpful. Overall the stay was very nice. The wedding prep (Hair and Make up) went seamless. We did have a few glitches with the dryer, but Dylan took care of these very quickly.
