Vacation rentals with lake access in San Marcos

What an absolute GEM! We enjoyed everything about this little slice of heaven. Description and pictures are accurate! Although it’s even more beautiful in person. The views are unmatched! We enjoyed watching sunrises and sunsets. The fire bowl kept us cozy on cool evenings. Lots of cool birds to listen to and watch. Such a perfect place to relax, unwind and connect with nature. Close enough to Vineyards/restaurants/grocery. Would recommend Stone Brewery and Highland Valley Winery. We hope to visit this magical place again :)

Eldein is the perfect host, welcoming, friendly, easy to talk to, available to ask any questions or get any extra supplies. It felt like we were staying with a friend. His hospitality and generosity was truly heart-warming. One of us got sick during our stay and he went out of his way to help make us feel comfortable. This was our first time staying in Carlsbad and it’s a great location to explore the area all the way to San Diego. So many great places to visit and dine at in the area. His place was a great home away from home for our visit. Eldein’s place is located on a beautiful street, it feels safe and peaceful while being close to all the area’s attractions.

David and Luis thought of everything. The property makes you feel like you’re somewhere international. It’s beautiful and so very well thought out. The bed smelled of fresh clean linen and the amenities were so relaxing, we had a great time just staying at the property. David and Luis are so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back

This was one of my favorite Airbnbs and was a magical experience curated by Etoile who was such a kind, thoughtful, and accommodating host. Her property is lovely with trees, plants, and flowers throughout and the cottage is a very welcoming and peaceful place. We sincerely appreciated the warm decorations and numerous little details she put into it to make it comfortable and unique. Taking a private outdoor shower in the sun with a view of Hodges Lake was amazing and I highly recommend her home cooked breakfast in the morning, we loved the omelette, French toast, and delicious smoothies while getting a visit from some hummingbirds, bunnies, and their sweet dog Cooper! If you get a chance to check out the healing yurt as well the massage, sound bath, and breath work were all wonderful and the best end to an incredible refreshing weekend getaway in Escondido. Thank you so much again Etoile we truly enjoyed our time with you and look forward to staying there again sometime!

I was amazed at the ample space and amenities available in this Airbnb! It was a beautiful, clean, and spacious area for my children and their children to be together while awaiting my youngest son’s wedding. Many lovely memories were made here!! Very gracious hostess as well!!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Micah’s beautiful waterfront retreat. The peacefulness of the place was exactly what I needed for a relaxing getaway. The home is spacious, bright, and filled with thoughtful touches that made my stay even more enjoyable. The views from the living area are breathtaking, and I spent hours just admiring the serene lake. Micah was an exceptional host—responsive, attentive, and always ready to help. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a tranquil escape!

The house is in a beautiful mountain setting overlooking a lake. It matches the photos but looks even more impressive in person. It was very comfortable and easy to cook meals, relax, and rest. It was an excellent experience and we would definitely stay again!! Would recommend!!

The house is pretty dope, the pool and the games room is the best. Theres also a park literally in the backyard which is great. You can walk it with your dogs and even go fishing. 10/10 would stay here again

Excellent stay! Highly recommended
