VRBO Bear stayed here - 12/22/2009
My friends and I used this luxury Oceanside Point Loma property as our “home base” while we attended a conference in San Diego. It was ideal! The home had more space than we expected – six bedrooms and four bathrooms (sleeps 16-22!) – which allowed each of us to enjoy our own room and bathroom. Though we had plenty of privacy, the home also had many comfortable central gathering points like the spacious kitchen, living room, and den. And the media fans of the group were not disappointed! The property was equipped with three Plasma HDTV’s and five 32” to 50” LCD HDTVs.
One of the best things about this San Diego vacation rental was that it was located right on the beach! There was nothing better than returning from long days inside a conference room to this beautiful home. We sat on the front porch, protected from the wind by a glass enclosure, and stared out at our unobstructed Pacific Ocean view. One of my friends even thinks she caught a glimpse of a migrating California Gray Whale!
And when we got tired of staring at the surfers, the bogey boarding, and the walkers and joggers along the beach trail, we moved our small party to the villa’s backyard where there was a heated swimming pool and raised Jacuzzi spa. Can you say heaven?
To stretch our legs, we walked along Sunset Cliffs Nature Park, which meanders along the Pacific Ocean bordering the western edge of Point Loma. This gentle, peace-loving bear was ecstatic to see that the entire area is designated as a multiple species conservation area. Papa Bear could breathe freely, and relish the sights and sounds of the wildlife around us.
We loved San Diego, and we especially loved Villa Magnifica. If a San Diego beach vacation with a sizable group is in your future, I highly recommend this property.

Map & Owner's Profile
Oceanfront Estate for 22--VRBO "Bear" Review Highly Recommends
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Point Loma
The Sunset Cliffs area enjoys large oceanfront estate size lots ranging from 1/4 acre to 1 acre so this area of oceanfront homes does not have the congestion found in Mission Beach when the homes sit on tiny 3000 square foot lots. The space and panoramic views of the ocean makes the Sunset Cliffs area the best to vacation at in San Diego. Sunset Cliffs is the closest oceanfront home location to downtown San Diego with Balboa Park, the Zoo, the Gaslamp District, Seaport Village and Petco Park. We are just 5 minutes south of Sea World so you cannot find a more central location for an oceanfront home in San Diego.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The home is positioned above the ocean to give you big white water views and you can even see the whales off Point Loma as them make their annual migration to Baja California. Seeing Pods of Dolphins 12 Months A Year is Common in Point Loma but Not Thruoughout the Rest of San Diego. With the Sunset Cliffs Nature Park immediately adjacent to the home it is a Naturalist Paradise. With 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms you will have plenty of room for the kids and grandparents alike. It is a very special home set in a magnificent oceanfront backdrop.
Owner's Map of Point Loma
We purchased the spectacular 4000 square foot oceanfront Villa Magnifica as our dream home once we eventually return to California. It is beautifully situated on the Pacific Ocean and has amazing 180 degree whitewater views. With the Lagoon-style heated swimming pool and the big Jacuzzi the home is one of the best vacation homes located on the gorgeous Sunset Cliffs Nature Park.

Magnificent View and Location for the Family

My family recently stayed at Villa Magnifica in December. The home is warm and inviting and the ocean views are amazing! The amenities are wonderful including the big screen TVs in every bedroom. The kitchen is just off the dining room and living room, so you are always a part of the action. The pool, jacuzzi and BarB Q out the sliding glass kitchen door. If you like being on top of a hillside overlooking magnificent ocean views, this is the house for you. We can't wait to go back again!

The Lovely Vacation Home in Sunset Cliffs

Brought my family to this fabulous home and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi and house. It was immaculately clean and fully stocked with everything we needed for the week. Fresh towels were placed in each bathroom and the beds were extremely comfortable. We had enough space for 7 adults,one very active teenager and to have together time and privacy if we wanted to. The kitchen is adorably charming and high functioning. We cooked meals together everyday, making crepes, pancakes, omelets and more. There was plenty of room for all of us to make our own pizzas one night and lots of gas for the BBQ outside on the pool deck. The location is perfect. The town of OB, Ocean Beach and the proximity to Gas Lamp District in San Diego with restaurants, shops and beach and of course the zoo is terrific and the access to the freeway is just minutes away Oh and the Farmers Market on Wednesdays in OB is superb, everything for a gourmet meal and flowers so cheap we filled the house with them. A+++ I

First Time Vacation Home Renters

Date of Stay: 12/18/11
Review Submitted: 12/27/11
Our first time renting a vacation home, we were kinda worried about renting a house via internet but were thrilled when we arrived at the neighbourhood and the house . Very spacious with 6 BR .4 bathroom perfect for a big family. The house was very clean and had everything we needed from the kitchen to the bedrooms. Kids used the pool after days at the parks and the internet really came in handy to send pictures to family back home and catching up with our emails and family. We loved the big screen tvs everywhere and full choice on the cable. Sunsets were the best right on the front deck.

Stunning Views and Extremely Enjoyable

Review Submitted: 12/26/11
Three couples from the South decided to vacation in San Diego at the ocean together. This house provided each couple with plenty of private, personal and shared space - indoor and outdoor. The house is built on a hillside with stunning views looking right at the Pacific Ocean and easy access to the sidewalk. The photos and video we saw are accurate. But photos cannot communicate the open, airy space in the home which is also beautifully appointed and maintained. The location was perfect. The neighborhood is quiet, at the end of each busy day we enjoyed a wonderful peace. The property manager was fast to respond and showed he really cared about us and how we enjoyed our visit. I encourage anyone planning to spend time in the San Diego area to consider this house. It is a wonderful experience all to itself.

Mom's Birthday Trip

Date of Stay: 12/01/11
Review Submitted: 12/09/11
We looked hard to find a suitable place and location for our mother's birthday get together in San Diego. We didn't have an extended amount of time so we wanted to be at the ocean and near the airport as several relatives were flying in. After seeing the photos and videos of Villa Magnifica it seemed just right. When we arrived, it's hard to explain, but something about this home made everyone feel instantly relaxed! Perhaps it's the beautiful view, the warm accommodations or just the feeling of complete relaxation! Whatever it was, everything went extremely well and we will be sure to recommend to everyone we know who's looking for a similar experience!

Our USA Visit

Review Submitted: 12/08/11
We stayed in this beautiful house for a few days of our USA trip when we were in San Diego. We needed to be downtown, and were thrilled we could stay at the ocean and be close to our meeting. This was the perfect place for our group. It is beautifully furnished, generously equipped and extremely comfortable. There are wonderful spaces for the people to sit together and eat or work, as well as places to go for some quiet time. The view is so nice right on the ocean so big sunsets. We liked the big stone jacuzzi after meetings and found all accommodations including lots of closets full of towels to be great. There were very big LCD TVs and there was excellent wifi for us too. Thank you for being good hosts.

Such A Fabulous Place to Gather

Review Submitted: 12/01/11
This home could not have been any more beautiful or appropriate for a gathering of eight friends to get together for our annual reunion. The home was very clean and well maintained, the furnishings were lovely and comfortable. We were able to use the outdoor pool area seating for cookout and a great meal after using the pool and jacuzzi. Sunset was spectacular and the table on the front deck staring right at the ocean was perfect. We spent most of our time at the house and took advantage of all the amenities. Would book again.

Villa Magificia
Guest: Unhappy
(Bismarck North Dakota)
Date of Stay: 11/10/11
Review Submitted: 11/21/11
We rented this property for a week. It was touted as a magnificent beachfront property with luxurious furnishing including 800 count thread sheets. We were met at the door with a foul smell. As we proceed into the home we found carpet which is stained. The furniture was stained and chips note on ALL pieces. The walls have paint falling off with black marks throughout and are badly in need of paint. The metal vents are rusted. The towels are snagged and have bleach stains. The mirrors are greyed. The outdoor furniture is corroded and unstable. We were unable to use many pieces. The hammock was covered with mold and unusable. We had our family join us and all were extremely disappointed in the accommodations. I believe the advertising is very misleading and someone needs to monitor as we were mislead. I would never recommend this property to anyone. If anyone would like to follow up with this article we did take pictures which show the disrepair and would be happy to substantiate our claims. I would not believe we can recoup any of our money but if we can keep others from making the same mistake we would feel better. It was run down and needs much care. It as beautiful views of the ocean and wonderful sunsets. It is close to attractions.

Excellent Location Best Views and Sunsets

Review Submitted: 09/28/11
We stayed at the Villa Magnifica recently and had an absolutely amazing time. The house was the perfect size for our group of 10 and the huge den and living rooms and open layout provided tons of space for lounging, working and eating. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the three inside plus one poolside bathroom spaces were perfect for accommodating 10 women, which is definitely saying something. There were so many delicious restaurants / bars / and grocery stores within easy distance and we were able to go watch a concert too. Views are absolutely as breathtaking as described and the kitchen comes fully equipped, even a spice rack , and the owner made sure our request for an expresso maker was taken care of. Owner was easy to contact leading up to the rental and check in / check out was a breeze. We got a meet and greet service in which everything was explained and any questions we had were answered right then and there. So much better than the “hunt and peck” method some vacation rentals put you through. Throughout our stay all of us commented that this house was such a better choice than a hotel and we would absolutely rent this property again if we returned to San Diego. The neighborhood is quiet and we didn’t hear all the noise and ruckus as in other areas like Mission Beach. Overall it was a great experience and I'd encourage anyone looking to visit San Diego to seriously consider this house.

When thinking where to go for a vacation with the family we wanted someplace where we could have that big ocean view we all love plus be all together and near attractions for the kids. This place fit the bill exactly. A great big house looking right at the ocean and close to Sea World , the San Diego Zoo and Lego Land for starters. We are beach casual people and the little beach town of OB was perfect for us to stroll around in and get out on the sand. The house itself was clean, everything worked and had everything we needed, lots of towels, big kitchen , BBQ poolside , lots of TVs , lots of different gathering areas and great internet access. We had some local friends over for dinner and showed off our great digs and they were suitably impressed. Thanks for a great stay.
