We could all use a little peace these days.

When you're nice and relaxed, step through the massive NaNa wall and you're seamlessly transported from serene outdoors to indoor luxury. You'll appreciate that the owners have spared no expense to ensure their guests' comfort.

The modern and open interior of this home has been thoughtfully designed for relaxation and entertainment alike.

If you're looking for a little more action, check out the game room complete with Skeball, Pool/air hockey table, darts and a wall arcade with over 1200 games.

The newly designed and fully equipped kitchen boasts a breakfast bar, high-end appliances, and sprawling granite countertops. All the conveniences of modern living complete the ultimate vacation experience, including high-speed WiFi, USB chargers and outlets, air conditioning and remote controlled ceiling fans throughout.

We provide a full concierge service for all types of activities (private chef, outings, etc.) and provide recommendations for dining, bars, and activities. We pride ourselves in making sure your guests have a 5 star experience.

** THE NEIGHBORHOOD **
If you know San Diego, you know Mission Hills is the best place to be, offering both privacy and proximity to all major attractions and beaches. The home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood so its great for large groups, but NOT GREAT for late night parties (e.g. bachelor parties, etc). We request guests to respect the city noise ordinance and bring the noise inside by 10:00 p.m.

You can walk to many of San Diego's top attractions, and drive to the rest in just 10-15 minutes. We still recommend renting a car so you can explore all San Diego has to offer.

Within 10-15 minute walk to:
- Balboa Park & San Diego Zoo
- Little Italy (quaint shopping and dining, just blocks away)
- Mission Hills shopping district
- Banker's Hill (cool restaurants, bars, coffee shops)
- San Diego Harbor

Within 5-10 minute drive of:
- San Diego Convention Center - only 2.5 miles away
- The Pacific Ocean & Beaches
- Coronado Island and historic Hotel del Coronado

- The USS Midway aircraft carrier museum
- Seaport Village shops & dining

If you are very sensitive to noise, staying anywhere in the downtown San Diego area may not be the right choice.

** POOL AND SPA **
While the home features a gorgeous outdoor pool and spa, not all guests choose to use it during their stay. For that reason, we don't include pool/spa heating in the nightly price of the rental. You can decide if you want to add pool/spa heating for $79/day or spa only for $49/day to your reservation. The pool is heated to 81 degrees (comfortable for lounging) and spa heated to 101 degrees.

The pool and spa are cleaned and serviced before each stay for your convenience.

Perfect Birthday Surprise

I flew in 5 friends to surprise my husband for his 40th birthday. The house was perfectly set up for a great weekend away - it was clean, well stocked, and spacious for all of our guests. The hosts were extremely accommodating and quick to respond to requests. I would absolutely hook this place again in the future!

Great place for families with young kids

We stayed here with as 2 families with young toddlers and it was the perfect house for us! We made use of every part of the house, and loved that we were able to enjoy the hot tub in the evenings while the kids were asleep. The master bathroom also had heated floors which will now by my inspiration for my future home! Loved the location, its proximity to the airport - not having to worry about getting up super early to account for travel time was awesome. Also very close to the zoo, balboa park, and lots of great food places! The host was also very responsive! Would definitely stay again when we visit SD.

Fantastic oasis in the city!

We had a fantastic stay here with my family (and didn’t want to leave!!) The hosts were very responsive to our needs and helped make everything as comfortable as possible, which was super important, as we were traveling with my oldest son who is terminally ill. We liked being close to everything and would definitely stay here again!

Lovely home close to everything

This very comfortable home was ten minutes from everything - the zoo, Balboa Park, SeaWorld, downtown and the waterfront. It was a great spot for our family of five, in particular the pool, which our kids used every single day as the perfect way to finish off our busy days. We would definitely stay here again - no one wanted to leave!

Camera pointed at Pool

While the home was very nice. The description does not mention any cameras. There is a camera at the driveway and also a camera in the backyard pointed directly at the pool. The camera is on the neighboring house (which I can only assume is the owner of the rental and why it’s not listed) We felt that was a total invasion of our privacy. Had we know this, we would have never rented the home. There is also construction going on for the neighboring house which takes up a lot of parking on an already small street. The trash cans were moved in front of the driveway blocking us from access. We were able to move them, but still an inconvenience. On the plus side: the home was clean and had plenty of towels, linen and blankets. The inside games were entertaining and a nice perk. There is a/c in the living room only. Fans were also provided for the bedrooms.

Finally a truly CLEAN property!!

This is a really cute, exceptionally clean, cleverly designed property. They did a fantastic job with the space they had. Especially the outside! We loved the art and the design felt clean and comfortable. The mattresses and couch were not very comfortable and the a/c wasn’t working the entire time during a heat wave but this place was truly the best property we have ever stayed at including all other vacation rental companies. We had a really great stay! The game room was such a fun perk and the pool area was just darling and perfect for an evening dip every night! We had our adult children and our toddler with us and everyone was happy!

Phenomenal Stay

This house is exactly as described and pictured! The backyard was like a private oasis, and the front porch has a great view of the water and sunset. The airport is literally right there, we even watched the planes take off and land, but the noise wasn’t AT ALL bad because the flight path is not right overhead. I actually forgot how close it was unless I was watching it. I am so extremely pleased with the accommodations and would definitely book this house again!

Nice group pad, a few hiccups

Overall very enjoyable stay. House was comfortable for 7 adults. Walk to Middletown station is fairly easy, albeit less than scenic (mostly car rental parking lots). Quick Uber into downtown or to the beach. However, there are some annoyances I'd change if this were my rental. First, if we pay for the hot tub, it should just stay hot. Having to flip a switch and wait is silly. Ice maker is broken despite the refrigerator being fairly new. Finally, three of the four bedrooms have frosted glass doors or windows that let light in from shared spaces. Add to that the fact that a light in the game room (above a mirror) doesn't shut off and there's a lot of light coming into the front rooms especially. Finally, airplane noise is not insignificant. Would suggest sound machines in all bedrooms.

Amazing Stay!

This was our second time staying at the Blue Lagoon and it didn't disappoint! There were some new finishes to the place (patio set in front of home with fire pit) and new arcade games that made the place even better! We had a minor issue that required a repair during out stay, but the owner was excellent about the whole situation, worked with our schedule, and got someone over right away to fix the issue. Yet another excellent stay at the Blue Lagoon! Would definitely stay again!

The overall property was amazing from the size of the rooms to the pool and hot tub in the back yard. To get to the Gaslamp was only a 6-8 minute Uber drive which was very convenient since we were headed to the convention center each morning. This was the perfect experience where the property exceeded expectations and our host was responsive making the process seamless. 12 stars

Exactly as described

The accommodation was exactly as described. It had everything we needed. The pool and the spa were a delight at the end of a busy day. The family had great fun playing the video games, pac man and space invaders brought back memories. It was only a 20 minutes walk to town or a quick Uber ride, of which there were plenty. The aeroplanes and trains could be heard, but after a while these blended into the back ground. We were not disturbed at all during the night. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone who is considering a trip to San Diego, we certainly had fun and enjoyed out stay.
