The house is very spacious and well stocked. The pool is large, as is the hot tub and the house has great views. Due to the number of stairs on each level it may be difficult for someone with mobility issues. The host was easy to reach during our stay and was very accommodating to us.

Our extended family had a wonderful week in San Diego with this fabulous villa as our home base. The home has enough lovely bedrooms, beds, bathrooms, and gathering spaces (inside and out) for everyone to be very comfortable—we especially enjoyed the patios with gorgeous views and the pool and hot tub! The location is convenient to many tourist sites, grocery stores, and restaurants. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked with everything you might need. We appreciated Scott’s responsiveness whenever we had questions. It was a terrific stay in every way! To echo one note mentioned by other guests, this house has many stairs—something to keep in mind if your group includes people with mobility issues. It was not a problem for our group but is important to be aware of.

This house was beautiful. We had a large group and the house had rooms and beds for everyone, including cribs for the babies. We enjoyed the pool and backyard. Perfect for yard games for all ages. Scott was easy to communicate with and answered all of my many questions. Know ahead of time, there are a lot of stairs and many levels. Wonderful views as well.

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.

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!
