Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2009
My husband and I came to San Diego in 2007 from Sag Harbor, New York. We came for the fantastic weather, the incredible golfing, and all of the amenities that San Diego has to offer. This includes Balboa Park, the great beaches, Sea World, fireworks at night, picnics on the ocean, theatre, great restaurants, and most of all, the amazing view from the terrace of this spectacular house.
Why the Owner Chose Pacific Beach
We chose Pacific Beach because it is very central. Everything is about 20 minutes away. The ocean is a mile away, and there is a constantly changing view from the terrace. It is mesmerizing. A grocery store, restaurants, shops, bars are five minutes away. There is plenty of parking, no noise and yet, you are in the middle of everything.
The Unique Benefits of this House
At this property, you have a beautiful new apartment with a huge private terrace and a view that everyone says cannot be captured in the photos. It is quiet, secure and peaceful. The jacuzzi and pool are great at night after a long day of sightseeing. Restaurants are close, the hammock is relaxing, and all of this makes for a holiday that you will long remember.

Perfect central location in a welcoming home

Just two of us in a lot of apartment, but it was wonderfully set up with a beautiful view (pictures just don't truly capture the beauty). We spent 8 nights here and had a wonderful time with many extras included in the rental. Most condos just barely get you in and you are on your own and Donna provided many extras to make it comfortable. We used the hot tub almost nightly and enjoyed a wonderful private vacation. Even in the midst of a slight emergency while there, Donna was wonderful to deal with. We hope to return some day and enjoy Villa Donna again. Highly recommended for a central location just about a mile from the ocean and out of the hustle bustle of the tourist spots.
Owner response:Thank you so much for taking the time to send such a beautiful review. I am so glad that you enjoyed your time at Villa Donna, and hope that you will return soon.

Best place in San Diego to stay. We had a wonderful stay at Villa Donna. Just blocks from the beach, and readily accessable to San Diego's many destinations, we were able to enjoy many memorable moments during our stay. The house was very clean and roomy. We liked best the relaxed atmosphere, the arrangement of the rooms, the kitchen, the patio with this amazing million dollar view. You're able to see Downtown, Coronado Island, Sea World, Mission Beach and even Mexico! Donna & Bill are gracious hosts, there when we needed to talk to them, but giving us privacy at all other times. Whenever we will come back, we will try to stay there again. Thank you so much!
Owner response:Thank you for choosing Villa Donna and for writing such a great review. You were wonderful guests, and I hope to see you back in San Diego or in Berlin. You have such a terrific family!

Four members of our family were fortunate enough to find and then stay at Villa Donna for my sister's 70th birthday. The owner warmly greeted us on our arrival, and even had a cold bottle of champagne in the frig! The pictures don't do the views justice. They are absolutely spectacular! We enjoyed opening our bedroom doors to our private patio and sitting under the gazebo taking in the sun and views. We appreciated the little extras like the full size bottles of shampoo in the showers. You really only need to bring your clothes and toothbrush :) Donna and Bill are very gracious hosts. Try Villa Donna...you won't be disappointed!
Owner response:Thank you so much for staying at Villa Donna. I felt fortunate that you found me! I hope to see you again in August.

A perfect stay in San Diego. The condo was comfortable and clean. There was plenty of space for my wife and I and two teenagers. The view from the condo was spectacular. Easy walking to restaurants and the beach. Our hosts were fantastic, providing excellent advice and assistance. Would recommend them highly.
Owner response:Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. I am very glad that you found Villa Donna. You were wonderful guests, and I hope that you will return to San Diego from Canberra. We so enjoyed meeting you.

From the time we drove up the driveway i knew this was going to be a great vacation. Our hostess was there to greet us with a smile and all the info we would need to be comfortable in this gorgeous 2 bedroom apartment that totally feels like our own house. When we woke the 1st day, the 1st thing we did was go out onto the terrace to enjoy the view of the expansive Pacific Ocean. This was a perfect location for enjoying all that San Diego has to offer. i can't say enough about our Host and Hostess being very gracious and friendly. It turned out to be one of our best vacations. I would obviously recommend staying here for as long as u can. It was deliteful.
Owner response:Your review really made my day! Thank you so much and please come back. Guests like you make renting this beautiful apartment so enjoyable.

Sie werden es beim ersten Anblick glauben zu träumen. Das Appartement ist sehr grosszügig, die Aussicht vermutlich die beste in ganz San Diego. Sie brauchen absolut nichts mitzubringen. Es ist wirklich alles da. Der eigene Pool, nur für die Ferienwohnung ist dann das Sahnehäubchen. Besonders hat uns gefallen, dass die Eigentümer so ein Faible für Besucher aus Deutschland haben und sehr am Kontakt zu ihren Gästen interessiert sind. Wir waren mehrmals zum Essen eingeladen und haben es genossen uns über den einen oder anderen Hintergrund des amerikanischen Lebens zu unterhalten. Beide haben die ganze Welt bereist und rechnen sie damit, dass sie auch einmal ihre Stadt besuchen. Bei uns war es so. Unsere beiden Kinder werden wohl noch ewig von der Vorzugsbehandlung schwärmen. Die beiden kümmern sich sehr gern um Kinder. California dreaming on such winters day...............oh wie wahr
Owner response:Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I cannot tell you how happy I am that you found Villa Donna and enjoyed the apartment so much. You and your family were dream guests, and I hope to se you again either in San Diego or Berlin.

Sie moechten mehr über Land und Leute erfahren? Dann sind Sie hier richtig. Die Eigentuemer Donna und Bill wohnen in den oberen Etagen des Gebaeudes und kuemmern sich unaufdringlich um das Wohlergehen ihrer Gaeste und deren Kinder. Die beiden kennen Europa gut und sind große Fans des deutschen Sprachraums. Wenn sie das Appartement das erste mal sehen, werden Sie sich in den Arm zwicken und fragen, träume ich? OK, in den USA ist alles etwas groesser, aber das Appartement ist sehr grosszuegig und die Terrasse erst, unglaublich. Der eigene, nur für die Gaeste vorgesehene Pool toppt dann alles. Das einzige Minus war, dass wir nur 6 Tage dort waren. Wir wuerden jederzeit wiederkommen und unsere Kinder wuerden dann wieder Kuerbisse mit Bill schnitzen. Vielen Dank fuer die schoenen Tage dort sagt eine Berliner Familie

We stayed for 8 nights at this fabulous apartment, after travelling for 2 weeks this was a welcome retreat, the apartment was out of this world, every little detail attented to, some very personal touches by the owners which made it even more enjoyable, a true home from home. Bill and Donna were fantastic hosts, they took us for breakfast at the marina in mission bay and then had a fabulous BBQ in there home, what a treat, the accommodation was central and we were only a short drive away from everything that San Diego has to offer. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely apartment if a little bit of luxury is what you're after
Owner response:Thank you so much for this lovely review. You were wonderful guests. I feel very fortunate to have guests like you, and I hope to see you next year!

After two weeks of traveling in the Southwest, we arrived for our stay at Villa Donna and were ecstatic with our choice to wrap up our trip. The apartment is in impeccable condition and is beautifully decorated. Donna and Bill are very hospitable and Donna has thought of everything you could possibly need while in San Diego. You are so close to everything -- the beach, downtown, LaJolla, Seaworld -- could not be better! The house also has a number of wonderful little touches and extras that make you feel right at home. Our three kids loved the pool and hot tub, and my husband and I loved the views from the HUGE patio -- the pictures don't do it justice. We are looking for an excuse to return because three days was not enough. Thanks for a wonderful end to our vacation!
Owner response:Thank you so much for such a wonderful review, Nancy. I loved having you at Villa Donna, and I do hope that you stay longer next time!

We stayed for 1 week with our 2 teenage daughters in July 2011. Much too short! Wonderful modern condo, fully equipped kitchen, warmly decorated with great taste. Kids loved the pool/jacuzzi and we enjoyed long evenings with BBQ and just taking in the spectacular views from the terrace. In fact the house is even nicer than the pictures currently on internet. House is on the hills of La Jolla, one of the nicest area's of San Diego and very close to all main attractions and city. Very private and quiet! So nice to wake up, open your bedroom doors and overlook the Pacific, Mission Bay (including Sea World), downtown San Diego and even the inland mountains. We also very much enjoyed the warm hospitaliy of the owners Donna and Bill, who were nice enough to invite us for a wonderful -American- breakfast in their home. This is really the best place to stay for us in 'the finest city of America' and we will certainly stay there again next time we visit San Diego! PS: very clean and no bugs!
Owner response:Thank you so much! You were wonderful guests, and I look forward to seeing you again.
