About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Sky Lounge

Your private slice of paradise awaits! Spend sunny days by the pool, unwind in the hot tub, sip drinks at the tiki lounge, or gather around the fire pit with your crew. Stretch out on the daybed, grill a feast at the BBQ, or enjoy the awesome games we’ve got on hand. As the evening falls, the city sparkles below while ambient lighting casts a warm glow. With a guest house and room for up to 16, this home is the perfect getaway for families and friends looking to relax, recharge, and reconnect.

With sweeping views of the Laguna Mountains and effortless resort-style vibes, this home truly stands out. Spend your days poolside, soak in the hot tub, or unwind beneath the tiki bar with a drink in hand. Thoughtfully designed spaces and inviting nooks throughout offer the perfect spots to kick back and soak it all in. Plus, you’ll be walking distance to popular bars, restaurants, and shopping!

The backyard is an absolute showstopper. We’ve got games, selfie walls, sun loungers, fire tables, ping pong, connect 4, ladder toss, and cornhole. When the sun goes down, the whole space lights up with magical LED lighting. It’s pure vacation mode.

The inside is just as warm and inviting. The living room overlooks the pool and features a Smart TV with streaming apps—ideal for movie nights or watching the big game. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for home chefs or casual snackers alike, complete with a smart fridge, breakfast bar, and stunning marble dining table.

When it’s time to crash, the main house has four cozy bedrooms:

☆ Bedroom 1 (Primary Suite): King bed + twin rollaway
☆ Bedroom 2: Full-over-full bunk bed
☆ Bedroom 3: Comfy queen bed
☆ Bedroom 4: Twin bunk over two twin beds
☆ Bedroom 5 (Studio): King bed + sofa bed
☆ Living Room: Sectional sofa + air mattress

There’s a second bathroom with a big walk-in shower and a sleek vanity that makes morning and evening routines a breeze.

Traveling with a larger group? The attached guest suite is a private retreat that feels like its own mini home. Tucked away from the main house with its own entrance, the guest suite features a king bed, sofa bed, deluxe kitchenette, full bath, dining table, and sliding door to the backyard—perfect for anyone needing extra space and privacy.
Fully renovated with modern, vibrant touches throughout, the home is conveniently located near shops, restaurants, and quick freeway access for exploring San Diego.

We loved our stay!!

We had such a great time during our stay. The home was perfect for our family and accommodated all 7 of us perfectly (2 couples and 3 individuals) without being crowded. The kitchen is very will stocked with everything we needed, especially the air fryer feature on the oven…such a nice feature. Despite going in mid November, we managed to have nice weather and were able to enjoy the pool and jacuzzi as well as the outdoor games provided. We’re definitely plan to return again.

Would recommend to anyone traveling with kids!

This was a great property. The back yard is perfect- just like the pictures. There was plenty of room for our group of 6 kids and 5 adults. It is about 15-20 minutes to San Diego. I would highly recommend this property to anyone planning to travel to this area. It was a great stay! Host was great and very responsive!

Just WOW!!!

Everything about our stay was amazing. The property was super clean and very well stocked. It was in a very central and safe location. Everything you could think of was available at the property. The backyard was lovely- our kids enjoyed the backyard games and the pool and hot tub. The view was beautiful. The property managers were highly responsive and great to work with.

Nice beautiful spacious house with great amenities

The property was very comfortable and clean, plenty of space for all guests and the backyard and living room were great communal areas to hang out with my group of friends visiting san diego. The backyard pool and sitting areas are nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable. All the rooms and beds felt clean. The kitchen is nice and fully stocked with all you need including plates, cups, coffee and everything you’d need from a kitchen. Only complaint is the internal decibel audio sensor at night is too sensitive, we kept receiving noise warnings when we were playing games in the house, not even outside. Still, great property to host a group of friends and visit SD area.

Great Stay for our Large Group!

We had a fantastic time staying at this property with 6 adults and 7 kids. The house was clean and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The backyard was a highlight – the kids had a blast with the games, and the adults loved relaxing on the cozy sofa set by the fire. The jacuzzi was a nice touch, although it only fits 4 people, so we had to take turns.One thing to note: the pool needs to be heated in the winter, and it costs 300 a day to do so. While this was mentioned in the description, it was easy to miss. It’s definitely something to keep in mind if you’re planning to swim in winter.The location was perfect for our trip to Sea World and the beach, and we appreciated being in a nice neighborhood with restaurants nearby. Overall, a great place for a family getaway!

Place was wonderful

This house was wonderful. We had 12 people stay here and fit the entire group comfortably. There were enough activities to keep all the kids entertained. The only downfall is that the hot tub was dirty and the fireplace outside didn’t work, besides that, I would stay here again.

Great house for a getaway

We actually live in San Diego, but wanted a staycation somewhere that wasn't our own house - and this house was perfect for us. It's the perfect size for a family, and the pool and deck were exactly what we needed. The pseudo-separate studio was ideal for us to escape the teenagers and feel like we had something on our own. We also had fun exploring downtown La Mesa, which is quaint and has lots to do. All in all, just what we needed.
