Saint Malo House

Always a great stay and Cobe is good to work with. The opportunity to stay in a quiet neighborhood with a private beach is worth it.

Vacation

The location was wonderful! However the house is in need of maintenance and beds were old and in need of replacement. We still had a wonderful vacation as always in St.Malo.

Tennis getaway

We picked this property for the location to the beach, tennis courts and gated security. It had 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, with a central living room kitchen area. Great for us to watch movies and games together, then private bedroom and bathroom.

Family reunion

It was a great private beach location. We had three couples and two kids. Everyone had their own space and bathroom. The family gathering area was perfect to relax and talk. Ping pong, beach and tennis made this location perfect. Not to mention near Torrey Pines.

Beautiful St. Malo, Oceanside house

I can’t say enough nice things about this house. First of all, St. Malo is a very special place. You feel like you are transported to Normandy France. The architecture makes it feel like a small village. The house was even better than the photos. They updated so you have all the modern amenities and kept the old world charm at the same time. I would recommend this for a family vacation. We will be back.

Christmas Vacation

Love this private community! The neighborhood looks like a fairytale. The owner is lovely and we felt very safe and comfortable. Kids loved all the trains running past the lagoon. Downstairs rooms are private and can be noisy if you're sensitive to upstairs sounds, and glad it wasn't raining because the only way upstairs is an outside staircase. Kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked. Garage has plenty of beach equipment and toys and we enjoyed the ping pong. Peek-a-boo ocean view upstairs and you can hear the waves clearly from the front rooms. No beach at high tide but there is a private sand area for the kids and you can climb over the rocks to get to the beach at low tide. Thank you, Cobe!

Relaxing Vacation

Very spacious property that allows for everyone in your party to have their own space. Each bedroom has it's own bath. There are four of them. Two on second floor and two on the ground level. Beautiful grassy backyard that backs up to the Buena Vista Lagoon. Rabbits, ducks, and even a baby possum visited the grassy backyard daily. Very safe and secure community that was nice to walk around and enjoy looking at the architecture. Everything you would need to prepare a meal was present. Toaster didn't work but used the toaster oven and that worked fine. Have stayed in many Vrbos and this one is, for sure, at the top of the list. Owner Cobe was very thorough with instructions about the property. Would definitely stay again in the future.

Beautiful, peaceful views in darling neighborhood

We were totally impressed with this lovely home in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. The place was spotless, abundantly equipped with every amenity--kitchen, linen, beach gear, etc. The setup of the bedrooms offered even more privacy than we expected. Great for a multi-generation family. Walking distance to well-maintained tennis courts, and beach volleyball court, ping-pong table in garage and bikes all added to our activity level. The only drawback was the private beach was not one you could set up chairs and walk into the water. We drove to Carlsbad State Beach for that setup. However, if you simply want to set up a spot and look out on the ocean and listen to the surf, the private beach is fine. And speaking of looking out on water, the backyard with mature trees and expansive green grass going clear to the edge of the lagoon offered many hours of relaxation for the less athletic of us!

Beautiful Oceanside House, but not Beachside.

This property in St. Mail development is beautiful and unique. We had planned to spend our family vacation at a beach, so we’re initially quite disappointed that you cannot safely access the waves from the “private beach access point.” Instead, we drove 15 min to Carlsbad beach for that. We did have fun playing with the grandchildren in the sand at the “beach club” property. From the pictures, we thought this was basically across the street from the property, but was about a block down the street. The house provided a very nice gathering/eating place as well as nice privacy and peace in the individual suites. We also had great fun playing pickle ball on the paddle court. Overall, it was delightful. We just had to adjust to the beach issues. Thank you!

Perfect in every way!!

Our family of 8 had the nicest stay in St. Malo. This property is fantastic! We especially loved the beautifully landscaped yard backing the lagoon, the private areas for each bedroom, the well appointed kitchen, and the quaint beach cottage feel. The gated community and private beach are enchanting, and everyone was so friendly. We loved riding to the beach and around the village on the bicycles, playing ping pong, and use of the beach items. Everything you could need or want is here. We were worried about not having air conditioning but the cool ocean breeze was perfect. This is our new favorite ocean vacation destination, second only to Hawaii. If you have small children who need to be supervised, this may not be the place for you. The separated private quarters for all 4 bedrooms was perfect for older children and teens, but could be an issue for children under 12. It was perfect for our family. You also must be able to climb stairs to enter the main living area, which was also not a problem for us.

Wonderful home for a family vacation!

This lovely home in the unique and charming St Malo Beach gated community is very special. It is the owners vacation home of many years and is cozy and well equipped with everything you need. It has 2 bedrooms on the first level and 2 on the second level. Nice deck, patio and yard for the children to play. We watched the sunset every night at the small beach club nearby. Owner helpful and responsive.

A Quiet Paradise for our family

I don't know how I have I NOT heard of St Malo before our VRBO stay?! Cute old world architecture, the house amenities were great, ample bikes to use and a beautiful private beach area. Kids had a blast with the sand volleyball, the pingpong table, and the backyard lawn. We had 3 generations of our family stay here. Sadly, we discovered the beautiful sunset only on our last night there. Cobe was super responsive to all our questions and needs.

Saint Malo is the closest thing to a New England private beach community on the West Coast

The whole experience was seamless from communications with Cobe before and during our stay to exceeding our expectations as a place to come for quiet and fun. There is nothing like Saint Malo on the California Coast that has access to a beach, private tennis courts and stunning homes. We did t just have a great get away we felt like we had an experience.
