Retro Retreat: Ocean & Lagoon Views & Super Fun!

Fantastic house and location! The view is incredible! Close enough to San Diego to easily get in and out of the city, but far enough away to be a quiet and relaxing. Lots of great trails just down the street as well. Host was welcoming and responsive as well.

Great place, excellent supplies and outfitted well for a relaxing and pleasant stay.

Stayed here for four nights in September. The house was exactly as pictured. Very cool 70s retro furnishing, large decks with amazing views and sunsets, spacious, clean with everything you need. We loved hiking right down the driveway to the great trails each day, and the short drive into town. It was so quiet and peaceful. We can't wait to return!

This property is absolutely beautiful. The view, the privacy, and space, and location...it has all of it! My family and I enjoyed two memorable nights together here and have vowed to return. Close to the beach. Close to Del Mar Racetrack, the crisp air, the sunset and cant say enough about it. The rental staff is extremely accommodating and responsive and we can’t wait to return.

Great communication. The house is exactly as described. Beautiful views from the deck and living room. Hot tub was an added bonus. Definitely retro, like someone’s well preserved 70’s cabin. Be aware of the very steep driveway and dirt road to get to the house. Otherwise great stay!

One of the best places we’ve ever stayed. The kids loved the game room, the hot tub, the attic hideaway. And we loved the retro touches like the record player, the chill vibes and the ocean view. It was so easy to relax there and get into vacation mode which is just what we needed.

Beautiful home, gorgeous view and just a great time.

I can’t recommend the retro retreat highly enough! We absolutely loved our time there. The ocean views from several rooms of the house, and even more so from the big deck, and side yards with comfy Adirondack chairs, were amazing. We spent time out there morning, noon and night. Another highlight was being able to walk to an awesome trail, called Annie’s trail, or slightly longer walks to the beach, or even downtown Solana Beach. Our group's ages ranged from 9-70, and we all loved our time there. We would love to return someday!

Our family of five absolutely loved this house and our four night stay in Solana Beach area. The character, comfort and views from the house were spectacular. It was stocked with absolutely everything we could want or need (kitchen to bedrooms, games room, etc). We can highly recommend this property after a brilliant stay including great communication with the team looking after the house!

The Retro Retreat reminded us of Grandma's house the minute we opened the front door. It has all of the updated features you want for a successful getaway including super cozy beds and linens, but retains a lot of the original charm of a 70's hilltop house. Plus, that view! We enjoyed many nights grilling fresh seafood and eating on the patio - in March! There were a few maintenance issues, but the response was immediate and didn't interrupt us at all. I will say, when they warn about the driveway, it's no joke. I'm pretty sure it's at a 45 degree angle - you'll want an SUV. However, that height affords almost total privacy, which is crazy considering how closely houses are stacked together. We had a wonderful time and would stay here again.

This place beyond exceeded our expectations. The wood paneling on all the walls, floor to ceiling windows, super crisp design and decor…chef kiss! Kids and aunties loved the game room, the trail at the end of the driveway was fantastic, and the view of the lagoon and beach was magical. To top it all off, everything was scrubbed clean clean! Would LOVE to stay again!

This property has an amazing view and is incredibly clean. The staff is very responsive and was helpful with our every request. We would love to return! Oh, and the hike is awesome. You really can’t beat this location or view. It was a real gift.

Amazing house, extremely great communications, perfect spot for our family.

We had a wonderful time enjoying the views and relaxing in the patio with all the views

Loved the retro ocean vibes of this home and location. Great and easy access to trails and walking into Solana Beach. Enjoyed the small retro touches throughout the home. Great and easy communication with the property managers.

Great property!

We loved our stay at the retro house!!! The house is charming and funky while being completely comfortable and functional. The view is amazing and we loved watching the sunset every night. Could get a little warm during the day (we never used the AC even though the house does have it) but we would open the windows to the ocean breeze and it would cool down plenty for bedtime. We would definitely stay here again!

The photos really don't do it justice, we LOVED it here! The sunsets over the ocean and lagoon are unlike anything I've ever seen! The basement was great for our kiddos and the kitchen was well stocked!

We had such a fantastic time! The views were stunning, the records,game room and Jacuzzi made for a perfect getaway for our family. We will be back!

This property has incredible views, and was a wonderful getaway for my family and I. We enjoyed the hot tub, game room, and being outside soaking up all the views! We hope to come back again!

What a wonderful house in a wonderful location! We enjoyed this property and all it had to offer. The views were amazing. We will definitely be back.

We had so much fun at this wonderful house! My husband and our two children, ages 11 and 8 and our 12 year-old Labrador named Dexter enjoyed a long weekend here. It was a great location because we were very close to the dog beach, markets, restaurants. The house was amazing, loved the retro vibe. We also found the location and view so relaxing. We loved the privacy it offered as well as the morning views from the deck while drinking our coffee. I was also really impressed with the level of care and communication. When we checked out, our son accidentally left his iPad behind. We didn’t realize it until we got home and I contacted the property management company. They were so easy to work with. They located the iPad within 20 minutes and shipped it to us for free! We had the iPad back in two days. Overall, it was such a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be back!

Great views and so many outside areas. The playroom for the kids was great but carpet should be changed out - room smells a bit . Otherwise place great
