Here you'll find a private, lush, zen-inspired Lagoon oasis… complete with pool, hot tub, bbq, exotic statues, waterfall, and top-of-the line furniture for lounging.

Whether its early morning coffee, pre-dinner cocktails, or stargazing before bed, this space will take your breath away. GUARANTEED.

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 respect the city noise ordinance and head 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: - Waterfront Park - 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: - Gas Lamp Quarter (shopping, bar & restaurant district) - Downtown - Balboa Park & San Diego Zoo - San Diego Convention Center - only 2.5 miles away - The Pacific Ocean & Beaches - Coronado Island and historic Hotel del Coronado - Historic Old Town - Petco Park (home of the Padres) - The USS Midway aircraft carrier museum - Seaport Village shops & dining
** LOCATION ** Our home is located in the best neighborhood in San Diego, offering great proximity to most attractions and fantastic views. While our properties feature high quality, acoustically rated windows and doors, our central location means you will may occasionally hear the sounds of the city including planes that take off between the hours of 6:30am and 10:00 pm. 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.
** POLICIES **
If QUIET HOURS ARE NOT RESPECTED YOU MAY BE ASKED TO VACATE IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT A REFUND. Per the San Diego Short Term Rental regulations, both the guest and host may be fined $1000 for noise violations. If going inside after 10pm is going to be problematic for your group, we recommend booking elsewhere, although the entire city is operating under the same guidelines. Living next to a vacation rental can be tough, so help us stay in good graces with them.
- No smoking - Pets considered (requires pre-approval, pet fee and refundable deposit) - No events, parties or large gatherings - No bachelor/bachelorette parties - Must be at least 28 years old to book - $79 optional nightly pool/hot tub heating fee or $49 hot tub only - No hot tub or outside music after 10:00 pm - NO UNATTENDED KIDS in backyard or front balcony
**GUEST ACCESS** We use a smart lock and you will recieve the code upon arrival to the home under the "check-in" information in the guest portal. Please note there are security cameras on the front exterior of the home. Please note there are security cameras on the front exterior of the home.
** INTERACTION WITH GUESTS ** Owners live very close by, and will treat you like family. We'll do anything and everything it takes to ensure your stay is remembered as one of your best trips ever! We look forward to hosting you!

Central location and amazing house
This house is beautiful! Centrally located to San Diego CBD and an easy drive on the freeway to places we wanted to visit. The house is thoughtfully presented with everything we needed.
It is a little noisy with the airport nearby but we expected this.
The pool and spa were a hit with the kids so we're thankful we chose heating to get the full use of these facilities.
Highly recommend and would come back in a heart beat if we lived closer!

Wonderful Home for Families
This home is beautiful. We especially loved the outdoor spaces, pool, hot tub, and the three boys all loved watching the planes take off and land. It's in a ideal location and the home was equipped with everything needed for a fantastic holiday. The coffee, champagne and welcome greeting were very much appreciated. The washer and dryer were on the fritz-but who wants to do laundry on vacation? Right? Would love to visit again soon.

Well Equipped Rental Home
The home had everything we needed for our week getaway. Very nice kitchen/cookware (plus the grill outside), outdoor fire pit with great views, extra sheets, towels, etc., washer/dryer, and plenty of games for all ages. There are a few areas that could use some "refreshing" mainly the second bathroom where the door didn't lock and the master bathroom as the water pressure was lackluster and the rainshower feature aimlessly shot water. The neighbors will start complaining about any sort of noise even before the 10pm curfew, so be prepared for that. The hosts were very responsive and we appreciated their hospitality. Mahalo.

Great place but a little loud from trains and planes.
Property was fantastic & well appointed ! Had a terrific stay. Good location with remarkable views. Backyard was an urban oasis, especially enjoyed the spa as the weather was cool during our stay. Would stay at this property again.
The description of this property is spot on! It has all the amenities of home. It is very clean and the beds are very comfortable. The location is convenient to many of the end attractions in San Diego. I highly recommend this property to families.

Great place to stay
Love the accommodations. Highly recommend. While the noise from the street and airport is noticeable, the white noise machines and provided fans are very helpful.
Working the hot tub does take a little practice, and the only thing we would have wished for was an included thermometer to monitor the temperature in both the pool and hot tub.

The property is incredible. Management is extremely responsive, and they do not miss a trick. Will definitely stay with them again in the future.
This house was so perfect in every way. Beautiful quiet backyard with pool and hot tub. So close to the airport and little Italy and the gas lamp quarter. Cute business district in the neighborhood about 1 mile walk. Comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen. We did not have a single complaint. Would 100% rent again.
We had a wonderful time at the home! The kids loved all the games and swimming! There is an extra fee to heat the pool and spa but it would have been too cold without it so I recommend opting for that in your stay. Plenty of space for 5 adults and four kids! The best part is the view and watching all the planes take off the kids loved that and the noise from the airport was very tolerable
My family of 7 stayed here for a week over Christmas. The home had plenty of space for all of us with the additional apartment, and the spa was perfect. We loved the view and how easy it was to get places. Our only complaint was that it is very loud starting at 6:30am when planes are allowed to start taking off across the street. There is also a train that runs all night blowing it’s horn so sleeping was a challenge, even with the provided noise machines.
BOOK NOW before I book again!! This is where you want to stay
This place has all the bells and whistles! Everything was amazing. Beds comfy. Place is clean! No noise from neighbors. Pool was perfect! We were a large family and everyone slept and ate comfortably. Layout of this home if perfect. Bathrooms were perfect. Communication with property was 100%. They communicated before, during and after. Very accommodating. Book before I book again...lol. Don't second guess this place its worth it!

Perfect stay
This rental house is worth every penny and has everything you need. Pool area is very private and serene. The balcony is so nice with great views! Bedrooms were all very comfortable and clean modern bathrooms. Loved the key codes for the doors! This made it easy for our group that went in and out at different times. Convenient to the airport as well! I only really heard the planes twice, not as bad as I expected. Overall great stay and would highly recommend!
