Family Reunion

Lots of room and perfect for family time gathering either at kitchen table, in living room area(s) or around the pool. And the separate bedroom/bath for each adult/couple was a plus.However, the furniture and fixtures are all quite dated and well worn. A good spring cleaning, clearing out of old stuff that has amassed over the years, and replacement/ repair of some of the furniture would bring this gem back to its primo past.

Vintage “Castle” in some disrepair

We planned a family reunion almost 2 years ago. This property seemed ideal at the time despite the cost and the exchange rates. There was no barbecue of any use only a rusted out "two burner" which was not safe or clean let alone with any meaningful utility for a house that big. There were at least 3 windows that could not be closed. It rained heavily during our week and we had three leaks. The pool was great but the spa never got hot enough and stopped working properly. One toilet ran over and we were told to use the plunger which we did but the problem didn’t resolve so we used another toilet. Most of the home living area didn’t have adequate heating. We never found a kettle so we used a pot on the stove to make tea. Maybe our expections were too high. However, it is a very grand old home with lots of space which needs freshining up to match the advertisement.

Beautiful House

We are a family of 10 adults, 4 children and 1 infant. The house had plenty of space to all be together and yet spread out. The pool table was entertaining for adults and everyone enjoyed the hot tub spa and pool. The views are beautiful and the house is well equipped. We enjoyed out stay at this beautiful villa.

This is an amazing house. The pool and hot tub are great. It has several large meeting areas. The only suggestion would be to get better lighting.

Dave was wonderful, accommodated our change in flights and even purchased pack n plays for our little ones! The pool, hot tub and that view, truly can’t be beat. The house was perfect for our large multi generation family, loved that the grandkids had their own space with the large open room and bedroom above the garage. We had a fabulous week in La Jolla!

Fantastic place for a family reunion for families meeting for a very special get together.

The castle in the sky was a wonderful house for an amazing family reunion. We were 15 people ranging in age from 1 to 71! The house was so homely but so spacious and well equipped with every thing you could wish for! There is everything you need in the kitchen to prepare.The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were lovely too! The adults loved the pool table and everyone had fun in the pool and spa pool. The house is thoughtfully equipped with indoor games and lots of books plus tv in several rooms though we didn’t actually use any tv while we were there! There are swim towels and pool toys provided which was lovely as we were coming from the UK, Australia and Canada. The children loved the little go cart too. The area was gorgeous with great beaches, shops and restaurants. We didn’t actually meet our host David but he was very helpful. Thoroughly recommend this house and location!

Fabulous views and location and space

The Castle in the Sky has amazing views and a fabulous location for enjoying LaJolla and San Diego. It was great to have bathrooms for every bedroom. We loved the pool, hot tub, and pool table and had a great celebration dinner in the spacious dining room. The home is furnished with unique antique furniture. The large sectionals let our whole crew gather to watch football, though as some others have mentioned some chairs are showing their age. We also found the lighting a bit dark (for cooking), but overall loved it.

Beautiful home in a lovely setting

Our family of 13 (eight adults and five children) enjoyed seven nights in this beautiful home in LaJolla to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Dave was a great host - friendly, responsive, helpful. Views from the house and the pool are amazing overlooking the city and ocean. Great location; easy access to the beaches and stores, and to the greater San Diego area. We enjoyed the quietness and privacy of this location and property. We had more than enough space for cooking, dining, socializing, and sleeping, and enjoyed the pool, hot tub, pool table and large TV to watch World Cup soccer. A great place for a family vacation!

Everything and more!

The house was as advertised. It accommodated our family of 9 very easily. So much room to roam we had to text one another on occasion. Perched high on the hill overlooking La Jolla and the Pacific Ocean was truly spectacular. Pool was large for us all to enjoy along with the hot-tub. Property was conveniently located to grocery store and many restaurants. Enjoyed the fact every bedroom had its own private bathroom. David was a charismatic and awesome host who was very quick to respond to us when needed. Would definitely like to come back again in the future. If you want to feel like you are on "top of the world", well then this is the place for you and your guests. You won't be disappointed.
