It was a good stay, the manger at the inn was super nice and I had great experience with him. I left a pair of shoes after check out, and found out the next day, called him, the manager drove for more than 1 hour to send it to me in person. My tear almost drop for what he has done, so thankful.

The location was ideal. A quiet peaceful area near the beach. The house was clean and everything we needed was there. Having a garage for the car was a bonus.

This is my second time staying here this year and I was pleased to see Rancho Vista continues to deliver on excellence when it comes to accommodation. From the style of the interior, secure location, easy parking, walking distance to cafe's and shops to very responsive and welcoming hosts. Vista is an up and coming area, only 20 minutes from Oceanside and the beach and conveniently located to all amenities. The hotel is very modern and unassuming in appearance on the outside, yet when you enter the premises and the rooms you realise you have stumbled onto a gorgeous and beautifully decorated secret abode. Definitely worth a stay!
