It was an incredibly beautiful home with a wonderful setting. The kitchen made it easy to prepare for the holiday. We all relaxed and enjoyed ourselves! The communication with the host couldn't have been better. All our questions were quickly answered. We highly recommend this Airbnb and would love to return. read more

Time To Wine Down August 19, 2025 Warm & Personal: We really enjoyed our stay here as a family. The views were stunning, the pool was a highlight, and the living area made us feel right at home. The beds were very comfortable, though the pillows could be better. Overall, a wonderful property we'd be happy to return to. read more

Time to Wine Down was the house we rented. There were 8 adults and 1 toddler and we all enjoyed the property. 4 nights and 5 days wasn't enough! Yes, there are rules to abide by, but we knew that going in and so it wasn't a problem. We understand it is a County ordinance, not this homeowner's rule. The owner and management company were very accommodating. We asked for an early check in at the last minute and, even though the cleaning crew were still there, we were told yes. We spent the time waiting in the beautiful back yard! We also asked if we could pick a few lemons for our seafood feast and were told Yes! Help ourselves to the fruit on the trees - it was delicious! The home is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. There are many areas indoor and out to find a quiet place to read a book, or have a glass of wine and relax. My family enjoyed the pool every day and one evening enjoyed the spa. Yes, kind of weird to ask to turn on the spa, but on the other hand, it was like having a butler do it for us! Not a big deal at all! We truly enjoyed spending time with our family during our stay; from Hawaii, Michigan, Nevada, and Central California. We cooked all but one meal in the fabulous kitchen, played pool in the game room, and really had a chance to be together. Thank you! read more

We stayed at Rise and Wine-30 Day Rental in Temecula, CA. It's true... Location, Location, Location!! This property truly is " just around the corner" from anything you might want...grocery store, mall, restaurants, gas stations, etc. and only 40 minutes from the beach. The moment we entered this beautiful house, it felt like home. Everything we could possibly need had been provided. We brought our Lab who also enjoyed a totally fenced yard and even had his own dog door! We look forward to staying at this home again ... it was a wonderful vacation!! Thank you to Barefoot Vacation Rentals. John and Kris Teal read more

Please stay away from this host. Host is unprofessional and rude to customers. We got their cabin and ended up canceling our trip. Check in time was 4 pm. The cabin was not cleaned upon arrival. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE STILL IN COVID PANDEMIC and this is not professional by any means. We had to wait outside in our car with 2 of 1 year old old babies. The cleaning guys didn't show up until 7 pm. We asked some reasonable compensation to host. Host offered us the cleaning fee waiver and free dinner (which we didn't need), or the full refunds (i.e. go home). Since we literally wasted our whole time outside even after sunset on our first day trip, we asked discounts toward the first night stay. Host refused and hung up the phone on us. Again, unprofessional manner. We ended up combing back home. Another 2 hours driving back home with 2 babies. Host didn't care. All we wanted was just to have a short nice vacation. We were doubtful this maltreatment would be ever fair after paying $660 and all the arrangements I had to make from work and for our babies. Please stay away from this host. If same thing happened to you, you know what to deal with and it's not worth it. read more

See all

I wanted to take this moment to reflect upon my latest mini getaway with my beautiful wife and two adorable young daughters for Thanksgiving week at one of Jessica's rental retreats that we've frequented several times before. Incase you haven't heard of it, The "Crush Pad" is a cozy 2 bd/ 2bth unassuming little hideaway sprinkled with peace and tranquility off the backroads of Temecula wine country tucked away on a few acre property all to yourself. Well, almost all to yourself. It seems to be a guest retreat off of the primary home known as "Grape Time". But there is far enough separation between the two residences of approx. 80yds apart. Both are rental retreats. Anyways... this little tucked away property is propped up on a large concrete terrace if you will and overlooks the entire acreage across the way. The adjacent properties are lined with lemon groves. It's beautiful. Down in the dry wash of this property, you can hear and see California Quail calling and feeding in the morning, if you're lucky. At night, again if you're lucky... you can hear coyotes howling and yelping across the canyons. Outside on the terrace and in the front part of this property is a comfortable patio furniture lounge set and an awesome cast iron chiminea (wood burning fire place) which comes in handy on the brisk nights, accompanied with a nice glass of wine or some whiskey. Peaceful is an understatement. It's genuinely tranquil in this setting. And the sea of stars at night are just amazing. Im kinda torn between recommending this place and keeping it somewhat tight-lipped because its such a cool little spot. It's obviously not that much of a secret as others have frequented here. Anyway, I wanted to save the best for last. And I hope I don't blow her cover. Jessica, whom rents these properties out, is a gem to deal with. Easy to communicate with. On this particular vacation visit for us, Jessica surprisingly dropped in with I assume was one of her kids on the day before Thanksgiving to say hello and dropped us off a batch of tasty homemade cookies and wished us a Happy Thanksgiving. Kinda felt just a little special that day. Very hospitable and kind of her and her kid to take a moment out of their day to do that. In closing, I just wanted to add that we will continue to rent from her as we've experienced nothing but great hospitality from her. Book with confidence. Happy Holidays to you all out there. Cheers. -Paolo F. read more

The property owners were great and rental property was clean and felt like everything was brand new. We enjoyed the beautiful pool and spa and would stay there again. Thank you so much for making our experience amazing! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Winederlust and Grapeful-5. The house has plenty of room for a large family. We enjoyed the outdoor area and appreciated the screened in porch. It's a great place to stay and very private. The home is well located, not too far from the freeway yet away from major roads and therefore was very quiet and peaceful. The rental agent was very accommodating and helpful. We would definitely return again. read more

Villa Di Gioia was a fabulous place for my family of eight adults and two small children to gather for an extended stay. The home is stunning with many dramatic architectural details inside and out. The stonework and the views of the surrounding wine country add to the entire ambience. The large great room and kitchen allowed for easy gathering and delightful meal preparation. The dining table seats a large group and doubles as a great place to enjoy board games, while just steps away from those in the great room and kitchen. The home is very large but also offers smaller spaces for quiet conversations or reading. The views from the expansive patio delighted morning coffee drinkers and those enjoying a late afternoon glass of wine. Plus the good folks at Barefoot Vacation Rentals were quickly responsive to any questions and concerns. Can't wait to stay at this beautiful home again! Paula I. read more

This was one of the best decisions we made on our recent trip to California. For the same price as 2 motel rooms we were able to stay in a GORGEOUS retreat style home with a backyard, pool, outdoor grill and fire pit. The host was extremely hospitable and easy to work with. They even provided a pack and play upon request and had it all set up for us! All information about the property was clearly listed out. They even had video help guides for various appliances, and QR codes throughout the home to help us out. Everything was provided in our home that we needed. I will absolutely be looking to book with them again. Honestly, I have no cons. Any questions we had were promptly addressed by the host. read more

We stayed in the wine barn in Temecula my sister and I. When we arrived it was confusing as we came up the back way but figured it out. The place itself is decorated so cute and has such great potential. However, my reasoning for the 2 stars, is to let you know there were bugs EVERYWHERE. In the sinks, showers, toilets, all over the floors and worst of all, all in the beds. I hate to leave a bad review like this, but I feel like at the price point they have this, it's just not cool to drop $1300 for a 2 night trip with bugs literally everywhere. The response I got was " Thank you for letting us know. The home just got sprayed before your stay, so that may be the reason why you saw some bugs, but we will definitely get pest control out again." It wasn't some bugs.. it was a TON. Just giving everyone a heads up so you don't end up coming home with bugs all in your luggage like we did. I've stayed in third world country hotels cleaner than this, just sayin. ‍ Attached are videos that are a fraction of the amount in the kitchen sinks and toilets etc. Best of luck! read more

This place was Outstanding!!! Two separate gorgeous living areas...beautiful pool and spa...quiet and serene...perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of this area. I would definitely come back to this same amazing property when we return! Loved it!!! read more

This place is beautiful! As soon as you enter the front door, you'll be amazed with the modern-homey feel to it. Very clean. The kitchen is fully equipped, bedrooms are cozy and the backyard is simply wow! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to friends. read more

I can't say enough about barefoot vacation rentals. So much better than using Airbnb. The company and employees really made you feel like you were one of the family. All the employees we met were extremely nice and easy to work with. Communication was never a problem, they responded quickly to all inquiries. They took very good care of us during our three month stay in Temecula. The house was extremely well stocked with all the essentials. They even provided a guidebook of the area. Temecula is a wonderful place to stay, so much to do and explore. If I ever find myself in Southern California again I will definitely go back to Temecula just to stay with Barefoot. Five stars all the way. read more

Barefoot Vacation Rentals is excellent! We've stayed in the Old West property in Temecula twice now, and have had the most amazing experience. We tell everyone we know about the home!! The team is very prompt to respond and very easy to work with. 5 stars all around. read more

Our cleaning company has had the pleasure of working with Jessica and her team at barefoot vacation rentals. They are incredibly professional, have great communication skills and making working alongside them very enjoyable. As a cleaning company, this is definitely one of the most organized vacation rental companies we have provided a service for! Our cleaners love working on their Airbnb's. They have systems set in place to make sure they provide the best service not only for their guest, but also find ways to make our cleaners job easier in the process. We are always able to communicate with someone to get answers when questions arise immediately. Everyone that we have met from their team has always been very professional and kind. No matter the situation we have walked into cleaning a property after guest have left, has always been able to be solved and found a solution for immediately. If you are looking for someone to manage your Airbnb like it was their own home, this is the company to do so. They put so much time and effort into the home staying in great condition while having happy guest, but also making sure company working alongside side of them are treated well! They are always open to listening to suggestions that could help the system not just for them but also the cleaners.

The entire experience with Barefoot Vacation rentals was fantastic. I received speedy responses to my many questions and found the entire team very professional & caring. The house was exactly as depicted on the website! I will definitely book vacations through Barefoot in the future. I wish there was a 10 Star rating read more

Barefoot Vacation Rentals "Old West Temecula" was a great find. The place was over the top fun. The saloon, bank and jail were so authentic and everything about the houses really reflected the old west. Great place to relax and hang out for both kids and adults. It's also in the middle of wine country so wineries are all around the house to visit. I feel lucky that we found this. read more

I am the home owner, I met her on Airbnb, I am so glad have Jessica manage my property, she is very responsive and went above details to make sure guests comfortable. I notice she answered guest questions very early in the morning and very late at night. She helped the decoration, make my rental much more attractive. She is very friendly and fun person, now we become friend. read more

We loved staying here! We found them on air b n b and what a wonderful experience we had. I highly recommend staying here as you will be given a great time! read more

We recently stayed at another Barefoot Vacation Rental property and can't say enough great things about our experiences in Temecula. From the Old West property which was a lot of fun for our 2 kids (ages 6 and 10) to the recent stay at Sip Back and Relax, Jessica and her team do everything to make you feel comfortable and welcome. The properties are well-kept with thoughtful gestures like bottles of water in all the rooms. On our recent trip, they even dropped off fresh-baked cookies as a thank you the day before Thanksgiving. The properties often have games for the kids, pools or hot tubs, and are in the relaxing, scenic hills in Temecula where you have close access to wineries and restaurants. Jessica is great - easy to communicate with and prompt to respond. We will definitely be staying at another Barefoot property again! read more

Jessica and her team are outstanding, and great to work with as a host for your short term rental. They make the process easy and are a great resource for your renters and market conditions. Highly recommended! read more

My husband and I were referred to Jessica by a friend. We were desperately looking for someone to manage our airbnb for us after we relocated with the military. We decided to go with Jessica even though she didn't live locally and we are SO glad we did! Jessica is as thorough are you can get in a property manager and is extremely organized. She has a real passion for what she does and truly cares about you and how she runs your property. She is honest and has been very forthcoming in every aspect of the rental process with us. Since we are new at this whole rental thing, that has been very helpful. We feel at ease leaving our rental in Jessica's hands and would recommend her to anyone looking for an all around great real estate manager, or even looking to rent one of her properties! Check her out! read more

I've been a part of Barefoot Vacation Rentals for almost a year now. It's been a wonderful position where I've been able to grow personally and financially as a single mother. Jessica offered me the position and I accepted without hesitation! And I'm grateful and super lucky to say that I've been able to see this company grow from the ground up. We'd all love a career opportunitiy where we are appreciated, rewarded, guided, where we can be challenged in ways that promote self growth, instead of just a paycheck. I've been given so much more !!! Jessica builds her company with honesty and dedication that I haven't seen at my previous jobs. She strives to give everyone the best experience possible. She goes above and beyond for her guest and our crew. It's been an honor working Jessica. It's important to have a job you love, you don't work a single day. And it's fulfilling to the soul when you know you've given a family a wonderful experience. read more
