Exquisite Home with Panoramic View of City & Bay

The Point Loma area is the place to stay when planning your next family vacation or family reunion in San Diego. Minutes from the airport, this beautiful Point Loma vacation home is close to favorite San Diego attractions such as Sea World, San Diego harbor, downtown San Diego, the Point Loma Lighthouse and the Pacific Ocean.

This San Diego home with spectacular views was the ideal setting for our Bear family gathering ---bright, light, spacious and relaxing with extra outdoor living spaces. The upstairs expansive master suite allowed us to get away from it all, with Jacuzzi tub, separate shower, and private deck with, of course, views of the city and harbor. The three bedrooms and three bathrooms on the main level provided privacy for all. And the large kitchen, eating area, comfortable family room and patio area provided an ideal gathering area.

Early-bears enjoyed the beautiful sunrises from this home and nighttime views of downtown San Diego were amazing. Also, on our evening walks, we loved watching the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean. A real highlight were the walks in this gorgeous Point Loma neighborhood, with Peet’s coffee our destination and Fresh & Easy market close by for groceries.

If you have friends or relatives attending Point Loma Nazarene University, you can easily walk from here to campus. I would highly recommend this home for year-round family gatherings, as well as a place for families of PLNU students to stay while visiting their student.

  I cannot say enough great things about this home! We were just there on the weekend of the 18th for my daughters college graduation. We had 11 of us (all adults and a 15 year old) spending the night most of the time and then one night we had an additional 3 (we used 1 blow up bed that we brought - though I think they have one and 1 couch). My extended family is still raving about it and I'm sure we will all be talking about it for the rest of our lives!. Everyone was completely comfortable and estatic to be together in 1 place! My father who is 81 and needs a cane and his wife and my mother, 82, who uses a walker were all so comfortable and entirely happy that we could all come together in one place! It was fabulous! When my folks needed to take a midday nap to keep up, they just easily retired to their room and had complete privacy and quiet. The decks which look out over the San Diego Bay and downtown San Diego skyline were huge and comfortable. We didn't have any desire to go anywhere! My brother did take a walk down to the beach but he is literally the only that left for anything other then my daughters commencement ceremony. We had PF Changs cater a luncheon after the graduation and it was perfect! They delivered and we spread out the sandwich platters and the salads over the huge bar area for a buffet style lunch. The master suite was fabulous. We really got to get away, with our own private deck with the best view of all on the 2nd floor! the master bathroom was huge and I made it a point to take 2 baths in the wonderful jacuzzi bathtub :) We weren't sure if they had a sound system so we just bought a boom box/PA system at Costco for the ocassion and we all got to dance as the evening approached. We didn't even use the formal dining table. But we did use the sofa bed in the "piano room" which worked out perfectly for my bachelor brother. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed minus a coffee been grinder. I'm not sure if there was a blender or not! The kitchen was so large, looking through all of those cabinets was a chore (in a good way) !! I don't have anything but nice things to say about the people involved. The owners were responsive and helpful and the property manager was just as wonderful! We received a check to reimburse our entire security deposit within 2 weeks of checking out. I will definately keep this home in my mind for future group trips/vacations. I can't wait to do it again! Thank you

  We had a beautiful wedding reception here. The house is spacious and elegant, with views across the bay of the San Diego skyline. The owners were very helpful, and they gave us our full deposit back straight away with a kind note afterwards. I would strongly recommend this venue.

  Owner response: We are always pleased to receive a positive review from our renters. My property manager and I work very hard to make sure everyone is accommodated to the best of our ability. We are constantly upgrading the property to make sure the Moanahouse is the best it can be. We recently replaced the hot water tank, fixed a noisy dryer , and replaced the mattresses on both sofa sleepers. We welcome any comments from our rents to help us improve this beautiful home.

  Let me just say, my experience at the Moana House was everything I could have hoped for and more. We were getting married in Pt Loma (The Thursday Club- three blocks away) and wanted a roomy location for our rehearsal dinner, hanging out and lodging for family in from out of town. We really couldn't have asked for a better space. The place is huge! We had 40 people for the rehearsal dinner, set up tables on the deck and had a taco man come. We really could have fit 80 with no problem, The place felt spacious and with the multiple decks and sitting rooms there was plenty of room. I don't even think we ever used the "formal" living room! The view is AMAZING and the neighborhood very quaint. We had 5 adults and two teens staying there and didn't even use all the rooms. Having a place to gather with family for the weekend and then a romatic last evening there with my new husband made the experience very special. The entire weekend was like a dream and the Moana House was a big part of it. We couldn't have been happier, we would definitely rent the house again. THANK YOU!!!
