The view was glorious. We all loved spending time in the pool and hot tub. Patrick and Will were wonderful owners to work with. They provided many supplies that we don't usually get with other owners. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful time in San Diego, and Will and Patrick were the most amazing hosts. I informed Patrick that we were celebrating our daughter's 16th birthday and Will went out of his way to make her feel special. The birthday decorations and flowers were beautiful, and he even had a birthday cake for her - above and beyond! The home was clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The heated pool was a big highlight with the kids, both day and night...and those evening sunsets were just stunning! We hate to leave but can't wait to come back!

The house was amazing!!! Even better in person than it is in pictures! My husband and I were able to fly to CA and treat our son ( who is in the Navy)and his girlfriend to a wonderful and relaxing vacation. We spent most of the time enjoying the Pool and the hot tub in the backyard. This is a beautifully maintained property! Patrick and Will were wonderful!!! I would highly recommend staying here!

Perhaps the first VRBO we've rented that actually was undersold by the ad. What a beautiful home! The backyard is an oasis, and the hosts are delightful -- and very responsive. Will happily rent from them again.

Darwin, thank you so much for your review. You know, sometimes we take for granted what we have, and guests like you make us aware of what a unique home we do have, so thank you for that! We bought our home 25 years ago, and have made many improvements over the years.
We do hope you and your family will stay again. Comic-con 2026!

Had a very lovely stay. House was just as described. Patrick met up with us to Checkin and to personally show us around the house and where to find things. It was our son’s birthday and they had a happy birthday banner to welcome him. Pool and spa were great. Everything you need for a great vacation was provided. Will be back!

Thank you, Angela! We’re so happy you and your family enjoyed staying at our home. Since Will and I are the gardeners, we thank you for mentioning the plants. The view is an amazing back drop for all of it.
We hope y’all will come back!
Sincerely, Will and Patrick
We have travelled throughout the US and have frequently stayed in rental properties, this one is truly outstanding. It has everything you could possibly wish for. Patrick was an excellent host and the pool, garden and view are just fabulous. My only criticism would be that the sunbeds are getting tired, and the location is not ideal if you want a local bar or nightlife.

Stayed 7 nights in May 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 31 May 2025
Thank you for the 5 star review, Neil! It was a pleasure meeting you and your family, traveling all the way from the UK!
We strive to make sure our guests have everything they need, so thank you again for pointing that out.
We’ll reevaluate the lounge chairs as the sun bed is only 2 months old, perhaps a UK term. No pubs or nightlife here…that would be closer to the beaches or downtown.
Thanks again for choosing our home for your visit!
Sincerely,
Patrick and Will
From the get go Patrick was lovely answered my questions quickly, the home large for a big group had all the things, windows brought in alot of light, grocery store and Walmart were very near by, but that back yard!! The back yard is beautifully maintained, the garden was gorgeous, spa was nice and the pool was awesome! Loved this home!

About the host
Hosted by Patrick McHale and Will Scherneck
We are the original owners and California natives. We designed the pool/spa and all the landscaping here. Our home has such a good feel to it, our friends call it "Casa De La Vida", house of life. If it's not rented, we love to be here, so we've furnished it with everything one could need. There's so much to see and do here in San Diego and surrounding areas, and we're happy to answer any questions you have and help guide you to maximize your time and enjoyment. We're both born and raised in California, and have lived in San Diego, Orange County, Palm Springs, and West Hollywood. We work as Superstar Realtors in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Palm Springs. Patrick also does some work in the entertainment industry in Hollywood. Prior to Real Estate, Will owned a Florist in Palm Springs and Patrick worked in sales and healthcare. We love to travel when we can. One of our favorite spots is Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We own a timeshare there at a small resort, right on the beach, and we rent that out too! We're happy to be able to share our home with you.
Why they chose this property
The View! It's spectacular day and night. It's an amazing feeling to live above it all and we feel so relaxed here...it's really like a tropical resort! Working in new home construction, we saw many homes as they were being built and always visited new model homes for sale. When we saw this home, it was love at first sight. The view and location could never be replaced. Our friends always told us our home should be a vacation rental, and now it is! We're happy to be able to share this special place!
What makes this property unique
This home has one of the best views in all of San Diego day and night! When we worked in the building industry, we new every neighborhood in San Diego, and when we came here and saw the view, that was it, this was it. So the view from this house was the main thing we fell in love with, but we also love the 18 foot ceilings in the living room and dining room, the open living environment...but the house was only in the framing stage, so all we saw was the view. It's such a unique home, and with us having designed the pool and the yard, it makes it even more special to us. Because of the ocean breezes, and the view, we're lucky to have glass walls in the backyard! Such an important feature and so important for the enjoyment of the backyard. We've been in yards with Wrought Iron fences and it's so windy and cold, one would never be in the backyard. Mexico is very close, so we can go for a real Mexican lunch or dinner and be back for a swim! Outlet shopping is just minutes away as well. The beach is only 15 minutes away, and we can see if there's coastal fog. We were one of the first homes in this community known as Ocean View Hills. This is definitely a "wow" house and we're very grateful to have this beautiful home to share with you. Thank you.
