Special Italian Villa, Ocean/Sunset View, Pool, HotTub Near Attractions, Beaches

Overall, amazing! Multiple gathering spaces, indoor and out with spectacular views. Three closets with pool and beach supplies. Toys for young children, basketball hoop and ball; well maintained pool with nearby grill; large lawn. A well supplied kitchen with walk-in kitchen pantry. Memorable family celebration.

This property deserves far more than a five-star rating. Our stay exceeded every expectation. The mountaintop views were absolutely breathtaking and created a peaceful, unforgettable setting throughout our visit.The home is incredibly spacious—much more than the listing description even suggests. Every area was comfortable, well-appointed, and thoughtfully prepared. It truly felt like everything you could possibly need was already provided.The pool and hot tub overlooking the mountain view were spectacular and quickly became our favorite place to relax. Sitting there and taking in the scenery was simply unforgettable.Overall, everything about this property was exceptional. If you are considering staying here, all you need to do is bring your guests and be ready to enjoy an amazing experience. We would absolutely return and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.

Great house…lots of room on the inside with a beautiful pool and hot tub outside and great views of San Diego.

Beautiful home. We had a great time with family. Scott was great and very responsive.

The Host was great, house was very clean, plenty of amenities, just a wonderful experience.

I would have to say everything from the host to definitely the amenities we had and the house itself just was enjoyable.

Scott is a terrific host. The home was even decorated for Halloween. The furnishings are excellent, the cupboards well stocked, large flat yard, nice pool and game room. Ample parking for 4 to 6 cars, but no covered parking. Two dishwashers and two large refrigerators in the kitchen, plus a wine/bar refrig. There are several streaming tv's throughout the house and in the bedrooms.This is a very interesting house on 4 levels. Nice views from 3 levels of the house. There's seating for over 75 people throughout the house.

So comfortable. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, lots of room, great pool

The house was clean. It was well appointed and tastefully decorated. The kitchen had everything you need. I requested an air fryer and Scott provided us with one. The view from the balcony is breath taking. One of the best sunsets I have ever seen. Lots of extra towels, and even paper towels and toilet paper were provided. Tv in every room. Our reunion group really enjoyed our stay.

Great.

Highly recommend

This is a beautiful home and property. The photos can't do it justice. It accommodated our immediate family (21 people) nicely. We range from 10 months old to 68 years old and everybody loved it. The home is set up with multiple beds in most of the bedrooms, which is perfect for young families. There are places to gather and places to relax privately. I'm a pool snob, but the pool was very clean and the water well balanced. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need for any meal. I messaged ahead and asked about an espresso machine. Scott replied that there wasn't one in the house, then went and purchased one. We have rented 6-8 big houses in the western United States and this one is hands down the nicest one. I hope to bring the family back next year. I also need to mention that the host (Scott) is very responsive. We didn't have any problems, but I did have a few questions.

The home is beautiful and huge, so many places to just “get away” by yourself or someone else. It’s very clean and supplied with so many necessities that will save you a lot of grocery shopping money if you stop to check the home before shopping. The location is great for shopping and restaurants and even the airport is only about 20 minutes away. The pool, hot tub and large grass lawn are wonderful. It’s the perfect home for family or friends reunion. And Scott is wonderful, answers texts within minutes!

We were three generations: two grandparents, three married children & their spouses, six grandchildren. The house is huge & has great separation of spaces over multiple levels. We could be together when we wanted & not when we didn't. The architecture is extremely interesting. There are a number of porches & patios, lovely places to read quietly with a drink & feel the breeze. Walking through the front door, you are in a covered courtyard with one open side leading down a few steps to a partially enclosed atrium, a great place to admire the sunset or relax in the night breeze. There are many stairs in the house (two long staircases, one medium, five short) plus a number of steps down to the pool, so it's a house for active people.The large swimming pool plus hot tub was extremely popular & there are a ton of pool toys, etc. The large kitchen is very well stocked with dishes, pots & pans, appliances, etc., & a huge double-door refrigerator freezer. My daughter especially loved the excellent blender. :-) The washer & dryer were very handy. The house is well stocked with various supplies. There is a walk-in pantry with all sorts of serving dishes, supplies, basic food stuffs left by other guests, etc. Our host responded quickly to questions I could go on & on. Two things to know: no stores are within walking distance & the master suite windows have no shades so morning light comes in (not a privacy issue because no one can see in; just a light issue).

This home exceeded all our expectations. Scott was an outstanding host—responsive, welcoming, and everything was exactly as described. We’ve never stayed in a rental with so much space. The layout was thoughtful, the rooms were plentiful and comfortable, and the entire property was impeccably maintained.The highlight for us was definitely the pool and hot tub. The pool was surprisingly large—much bigger than we expected—and quickly became the centerpiece of our stay. We used it every single day and loved every minute.

Multi generation family vacation. The house was just perfect, many places to gather to visit, play or eat together. So clean and very well appointed. Enjoyed the pool and spa. Visited the local farmers market. A great location for visiting the area. Thank you!

We recently stayed at this property and had a wonderful time. It’s large and our multi-generational family (ages 7-70) loved it. The views were beautiful, the gourmet kitchen a delight, plenty of different living areas with tv’s where the kids watched shows and adults watched baseball and golf, a large pool and hot tub, beautiful grounds, etc. My personal favorite area was the balcony where a nice breeze kept you cool while reading, watching the kids in the pool or enjoying the view with a glass of wine!

We recently traveled to SD for a soccer tournament and most of the team stayed at the property. The location and amenities were top notch. The team got a chance to build some camaraderie. Thank you Scott for hosting us!

Awesome house, fully apportioned. We had everything we needed…fully stocked pantry. Kitchen had gadgets and appliances we needed to make full meals each day. All the beds were comfortable. Best house I’ve ever rented for a short term vacation. Everyone could not believe how great the house was. Beautiful view from the backyard of the hills and ocean in the distance. Amazing sunset we were able to watch each evening. I can’t say enough good things about our stay in the home.

My family had a wonderful stay here. The house was very clean and well stocked with all the necessities and more for the beach, the pool, and the kitchen. San Diego was a wonderful place to visit with so much to do. Scott was attentive host. I highly recommend!!

The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we could possibly need. Kids loved the ping pong table and spent most of their time in the pool. Would love to come back and do this trip again next year. Scott was an amazing host and quick to respond with any questions we had.

This was a very nice, well stocked home. Scott was very responsive during our stay. There was plenty of room for our group of 12!

We had the most amazing time! The house exceeded our expectations. It was clean, so well stocked and spacious for our group. The beds were very comfortable. Communicating with the owner was so easy and they were very responsive. We would highly recommend this property for your next group gathering!

Group of 10 in town for business convention.Will book again next time we are in town.

Scott, our host, was very informative and helpful.The house was beautiful.Every room was clean and well appointed. Spectacular views and sunsets from Verandas.Pool,hot tub, and yard space were awesome.and

Scott was so nice and so easy to work with! He was very attentive to us, and his response was almost immediate. We really appreciated him!! We’re a large family who just love getting together, and Scott helped us with any questions we had. The house, itself, was amazing, simply amazing! We loved it so much and hope to go back someday! For a large family gathering, we had all the space we needed to be together, but still be comfortable, never feeling crowded, only grateful! Our grandkids cried as we left this beautiful home. They had so much fun, and did not want to leave. . Thank you so much, Scott for all of your help!

The house is amazing. The photos don't do it justice. It was sticked with anything you could want. It was perfect for us. The host was great.

BEAUTIFUL. Gorgeous home, well kept, terrific location to freeway, stores, coffee shops, etc. Brought our family together to celebrate life, and several accomplishments of various members, and to get some QUALITY down time.

Our book group's yearly retreat of 16 woman had a fantastic stay here. The house was even more beautiful than the pictures. Scott was a terrific host...for months I peppered him with questions, and he was always graceful and answered promptly. We will definitely want to stay here again.

The house and Scott are simply the best! Scott is always available to answer any questions that come up during the stay. We can’t get enough of this amazing house, and our group makes it a point to stay here every year. Thanks again, Scott!

This was me and my groups first trip to San Diego. We chose this house for its location and amenities. The house was magnificent. I spoke with the host about something i didn't understand and he explained it. This house is amazing and has everything you would want on a vacation.I'm glad we had a chance to stay in this lovelyhome.

Our family of 14 had an amazing stay. The pool is beautiful (as was the hot tub). I was most impressed with how well appointed the house was. The kitchen was well stocked - we had all we needed to make the huge amount of food for our crew. Thanks for making this a memorable stay.

The house had everything you could need. The pool/lawn area was great and we spent a lot of time out there.

Such a fun place to stay with a large group—close to San Diego for museums, zoo, beaches, etc or just relaxing right at home with a fabulous pool. The host is very helpful. Love this home.

The home is breathtaking- the pictures do not do it justice! It felt like we were in a luxurious and rustic Italian getaway. Watching the sunset from the hot tub and pool was so relaxing! The kitchen was amazing and fully stocked with pots/pans/utensils. There’s plenty of space and patio areas to hang out in. Scott was very quick to reply to our questions.
