Welcome to Villa San Michelle – a timeless retreat nestled in a quiet neighborhood designed to evoke the elegance of a classic Italian villa. Villa San Michelle is best suited for guests who value tranquility, comfort, and respectful living. It is located in a coveted quiet neighborhood set in the hills of Vista only minutes from downtown, and close to everything San Diego has to offer. As you enter this residence, it opens to an airy living area that connects to a large balcony with hillside views, overlooking a picturesque tropical backyard sanctuary and the beautiful saltwater swimming pool. This elegant and spacious home boasts five large bedrooms and three bathrooms. The home provides maximum privacy for family and friends traveling together, with the bedrooms divided between two floors with separate living room areas. The balcony setting is the favorite gathering area to begin and end your days at this magnificent escape. The large pool area offers a roomy space for outdoor living embraced by massive roman arches, Italian cypresses, palm trees and giant birds of paradise.

This home is ideally suited for multi-generational families or mature family and friends seeking a peaceful living escape, and NOT suited for loud gatherings. Published quiet hours and parking guidelines MUST be respected. We also not recommend this property to group with children between the ages of 6 months-3 years due to pool safety.

    Our family of eight thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bonnie Brea house in Vista, CA. Everyone was pleased with their bedroom, we especially liked that the master bedroom had a door to go out on the upper deck. The kitchen was easy to work in, and fairly well stocked. The dining room was big enough for us all to enjoy a family meal, and play games together. The saltwater pool was the favorite feature of our stay, we all enjoyed swimming and sunning around it. The BBQ at pool side was an extra bonus. Our kids walked the hilly mile every morning for coffee; the house is very conveniently located to many amenities.One alert for anyone with knee problems: the house and pool area have many stairs.

    Perfect home. A lot of space. It was perfect for our large family of 4 adults and 4 children. The rooms downstairs allowed for separation so we didn’t feel on top of each other.

    The property was not properly cleaned - we even communicated in advance we expected the property to be fully cleaned and represent like the photos, due to some other reviews mentioning the lack of cleanliness. Communication with the host was initially not acknowledged then they responded a day later asking me to do their job by sending photos of all the issues, which I sent many photos showing hairballs in drawers, hairs in showers/tubs, grease, sticky substances, etc. I explained we had already cleaned the kitchen, bathrooms and exterior as we wanted to be able to use the residence & they should send a rep over to view the property. The beds are old & sagging, pillows smell and the house in general has a stale, musty smell. There is no more hammock area ( the large tree has been cut down for some time) or game area. The shining star in the residence is the pool. So - if that is all you are interested in, it's worth it. The photos should be updated to properly represent the rental in it's current state.

    Good location. Comfy beds. Nice pool, wish the water fall wasn’t on such a limited timer.

    This home is big and can host many people. It has great potential to be a great home. Unfortunately our stay was not that great. The home was not clean, had dead spidees on the walls and floor. Paint peeling off the walls and doors. The primay bathroom had a smell. The outdoor furniture was extremely dirty amd worn. I paid extra to have the pool heated and it was never heated. Had to contact the host multiple times. The outside grill was nasty and raggedy. Very disappointed. I sent pictures to the host in hopes they would make changes to make this home great.The host did not want to refund the money for heated pool initially; only wanted to give me a gift card. After pushback I was refunded that portion of the trip.Lastly, the host sent me a message today to give a 10/10 and I will receive a giftcard. I took the approach to not give a review and speak directly with the host but now I feel compelled due to the recent outreach that they will rate me 10/10 as a guest and give a gift card if I rate the stay 10/10. Bad business! Hopefully they took my private suggestions to heart and cleaned up the home.

    This property was wonderful for our family. The pool was incredible and the parks nearby were fun to visit. The belching beaver in downtown Vista is a must visit and proximity to the coast was perfect. We call it our Hollywood mansion VRBO.

    This property could not have been more perfect for our stay! My nephew had his destination wedding in the area and my family wanted to enjoy one another's company when not at the events. The design of the home evokes old Hollywood, and the way the bedrooms are spread throughout the home created an environment where personal and communal space is optimized! The heated saltwater pool and surrounding grounds were so welcoming, beautiful and enjoyable that our time together was relaxed, fun-filled, and delightful! The surrounding area has everything one might need for shopping, dining,and entertainment, and it is all so close by! While we were all so happy to be gathered for such an auspicious occasion on the West Coast, Villa San Michelle provided the home gathering space of our dreams! It was magical for my family to gather and reunite in such a grand, and yet serene place, where the home will be remembered as one of the highlights in a destination wedding that was filled with love, joy, and wonder! Thank you so very, very much!
