Seven Palms was the perfect destination for our family meet-up with folks driving in from San Francisco and Phoenix. The house provided breathtaking views, a plethora of activities, and a large kitchen and dining area for meals (inside and outside). The enclosed grassy area, pool, playground, and friendly chickens and goats were highlights for two energetic toddlers. And the location made day outings to the San Diego Zoo and Coronado Island very easy. Melinda and John were great hosts, and we look forward to a future visit.

We hosted our annual family reunion and attended the Miramar air show. The place was so beautiful we could have just stayed there the whole time. 4 of 5 rooms are suites with bathrooms. Stunning view. So many inviting places to relax and visit. Owner very helpful. All attendees want to come back and stay again. A 'Rock Star' home!!!

Softball tourney getaway
We enjoyed our stay immensely! After intense days of softball games it was so nice to come back and bbq, swim and relax by the fire pit in the evening! The kids loved hanging out and feeding the goats and chickens! We would absolutely stay there again!

The host was amazing!! John was willing to be around as much or as little as we needed. The inside of the home is amazing. The outside is amazing. If you’re considering this property, then go ahead and book it!

Beautiful…the landscape, hummingbirds, something for everyone to do, the secret room where we told ghosts stories in, s’mores over the fire pit. It’s just so relaxing and homey. The goats and fresh eggs were so much fun. The books and magazine! A great place to stay whether you are 2 or 70. It was priceless for our family. Thank you so much!

Amazing
The pictures (as lovely as they are) do not do this home justice. Every window offers something new. As a birder I enjoyed drinking coffee and watching them flit here and there. We have stayed in a number of rentals over the years. We found this property to be very well appointed and stocked. The furniture was all comfortable. The beds and bedding were very good There were spaces to curl up in for alone time and also spaces to gather as a group. 10 of 10
