Inquire with Owners

The Herr's will be your actual point of contact, no property management companies. 15 years ago Steve began sharing this estate he built (yep, he's the master builder) when VRBO was a crazy concept, now hundreds of family's have stayed here, the longest running for 13 years straight. Steve, Tammy or Melissa Herr will get back to you if you fill out the form, or email us at familybula@gmail.com.

Who'd Love To Stay Here?

If you appreciate natural beauty, space, very very tall ceilings and most of all a home designed for families, this is your spot. It's got everything, and it's not pretentious. It's a home, like you've never experienced before. Bringing 3 generations or more? We've got you. Want proximity to the beach, San Diego, Legoland, Disland, The Zoo, SeaWorld, you name it... it's probably between 30-90 min away.



Who not so much?

You can't please everyone. If you like furniture that hurts to sit on, we're not for you. We are not a home where you have to worry every second about the grandkids running around. It's huge, spacious, exceeds your needs by far, but it's a home. Not a "walk on egg shells" museum.
