Epic Family Retreat, Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Near Legoland
Tucked into the peaceful hills of Southern California, Hearth is the colorful, cozy home base your family has been looking for. After a full day at LEGOLAND, the beach, or local attractions, come home to your own private retreat. Fire up the BBQ, gather around the fire pit under string lights, and unwind in the spacious hot tub while the kids take over the bunk room. This is where the best vacation memories get made.
With room for up to 12 guests across three bedrooms and two queen sleeper sofas, there's space for everyone without anyone feeling crowded. Two king suites offer a peaceful retreat for the adults, while the dedicated bunk room keeps the little ones in their own world, complete with TV and mini fridge. The open living area with its cozy gas fireplace brings everyone together when the day winds down.
The gourmet kitchen is fully stocked and ready for everything from a quick breakfast before the theme park to a full family dinner. Bar seating, an indoor dining area, and a string-lit outdoor patio give you plenty of options for where to gather.
A coffee bar, in-unit washer and dryer, ultra-fast Wi-Fi, and smart TVs mean you have everything you need for a stay as long or as relaxed as you want.
You have your own private entrance and a fully fenced backyard that is exclusively yours for the entire stay. Your hot tub, fire pit, BBQ, and outdoor dining area are all yours, shared with no one in your outdoor space. Come and go as you please with total privacy from arrival to checkout.
Amethyst Heights is a multi-suite property, and there is a separate suite on the other side of the building that may have its own guests during your stay. The two spaces are fully partitioned with no shared entrances, living areas, or outdoor spaces, so your group will have complete privacy within Hearth throughout your visit.
Perfect for large families, multigenerational trips, friend groups, and remote workers who want to play hard and work comfortably.
LEGOLAND California, the beaches of Carlsbad and Oceanside, and the charm of Vista Village are all just minutes away. But honestly, you might find it hard to leave the backyard.

Our stay was due to a soccer tournament for our teenage boys! The place was very welcoming and had everything we needed inside. Eric the host was very communicative and quick to respond. We would definitely stay again if we ever come back to vista.
I was very disappointed with this stay. My niece with us manages 40 short term rentals myself so I do understand the many factors involved in operating a rental. However, some things should be addressed no matter the circumstances. We rented this unit to have a home base while visiting San Diego to see my son graduate the Marine Corps. I have a special needs daughter and we came with a large party, one of our party is severely allergic to dogs, another has ptsd. When we arrived, we discovered there was a connected door to the live in tenant. Our daughter and friend got no sleep due to this. This was a very stressful situation for us while already under many emotions, we would have never rented this unit if this was disclosed. Also having the concern for our party members allergies was unexpected. The cleaned standards were subpar, hairs in tubs and sinks. Crumbs in every kitchen drawer, food stuck on silverware, unknown sticky substances and hairs stuck to the undersides of garbage can lids, finger prints all over the table and screen door. The photos depicted a picturesque back patio - the reality was tacky fake plants and a non operational bbq with a grease trap has not been cleaned in months, posing a severe fire hazard. Host communication was lacking. We had an issue operating the shower that could’ve easily been solved by explain in the welcome message that the shower is tricky. All in all, this was majorly disappointing for the price.
