Enjoyed the decor and special touches. The fresh eggs were delicious. Great little kitchen to cook in with all that is needed.

Marie and Allen have a delightfully decorated cottage, a real home away from home. The location is quiet and peaceful, yet only a few minutes away from access to some of San Diego’s best attractions: beaches, wineries, and wildlife park.

My third trip to this great little getaway and I am always impressed with the ambiance, cleanliness and comfort. Marie and Allen think of everything. The area has so much to offer- great hikes, great food and close to so many small beach towns to explore. Will come back next year for my solo new years trip.

Studies show that birds only sing when they feel safe and the amount of birdsong from many varieties of birds you’ll hear during your stay at Bluebird Cottage are proof that this place is a safe haven. Located far enough from the freeway to be quiet but close enough to visit some great restaurants, Bluebird Cottage is even better than it looks in the pics. Marie and Allan obviously know how to make a house a home and this little space has everything you need to really unwind. The hammock is a great spot for a nap and the back patio is nice for curling up with a good book. The clucking of the chickens was a special joy and reminded me so much of my grandmothers house! If you’re looking to really let your nervous system rest and recover, I highly recommend this beautiful place.

Allen and Marie are excellent hosts. We were in Vista for a wedding in San Marcos and this was not only in a perfect location, but also affordable. The cottage is a perfect size for 2.

The Bluebird Cottage provided a wonderful place for us to stay while in town visiting family. Everything about the cottage is exactly as it is described, including a fully stocked kitchen complete with farm fresh eggs! The hospitality of the hosts is unmatched. We're looking forward to staying at the cottage on future visits.

I had a fantastic stay at this charming property! From the warm welcome upon arrival to the serene atmosphere, everything was perfect. The cottage is beautifully appointed with all the essentials and then some—perfect for both work and relaxation. If you're into hiking, definitely bring your shoes, as the surrounding trails are a must-explore. I came for business but would absolutely return for a retreat. Highly recommended!"

Allen and Marie have such a beautiful property. It was so peaceful and serene. Just far enough away from the beach to enjoy the tranquil sights and sounds of nature. We love it and plan to return.

My sister and I had the most amazing time at Bluebird Cottage. Marie and Allen were the perfect hosts, providing everything we needed--and then some! The location is lovely and quiet and it was the perfect place for a much needed retreat from regular life. Thank you, Marie and Allen!!!

Loved how friendly and helpful the host was. The cottage was adorable and the perfect size for the two of us. We were in the area for a wedding and the venue was only 5 miles away. It was perfect.

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage, it’s comfortable with everything you need & close to the freeways & everything in North County San Diego. Loved the French country decor too! The Hosts, Marie & Allen are nice people who are helpful & responsive. It’s in the woods with a beautiful view but minutes from everything which made it feel like a country getaway.

I was a guest for 14 days. The cottage was cozy and comfortable. I especially enjoyed relaxing on the hammock at the end of my day.

Hosts were fantastic! My daughter and I were in CA for relaxation, fun and to get a more "local" experience to get a feel for the area. We felt like we had a little home away from home and had the opportunity to try a few eateries, wineries, tried surfing and snorkeling! We were even lucky enough to have the US Men's Soccer Team play in the Gold Cup and we got to be there! Super trip and our stay here topped it off wonderfully!

We had a great stay, arrival to departure. There was an attention to detail, nothing was overlooked. Many little extras that we loved. Can definitely tell that time, energy and thought were put into our stay. I would highly recommend this property.
