This was a great house for our family getaway in San Diego. The adults were happy (beautiful sunset views; nice spacious home) and the little ones were happy (great pool and 'beach-like' entry). We enjoyed the gas fire pit in the front after the little ones were in bed. Our host (Joseph) was so accommodating and promptly answered any questions. It was a great stay!!! Highly recommended!!
Had a family reunion 18 people in Sunset Cliffs. Great location. House has all the amenities. Close to everything in OB. Quiet at night. Guest suite is better than pictures. Highly recommend
This is a great place to stay with many bedrooms and bathrooms. Family owned and managed; they are very responsive if you need something or have a question. We were a group of 12 who ages ranged from 2 - 75 and it was ideal place for us to stay.
Host was wonderful. Fun to watch the sunset from the front yard. Good restaurants nearby. Easy to get to the tourist areas from the house. Everyone got their own room.
Great house for 6 women celebrating a birthday get together. We each had our own room. The house was equipped with everything we needed. Great location across from Ocean. You can go across the street and watch sunset or watch from the living room. Joseph was a great host and answered my texts right away. I would come back again.
Joseph and his team were so helpful in every communication. The property was perfect for our small family reunion. We enjoyed the pool (we recommend the heat for the little ones.) The location was great: close to several major attractions and the airport. You get a lovely view of the sunset from the front windows.
The house was very comfortable for all of us. The bathrooms were newly remodeled and very nice. The private pool and hot tub were great. We loved watching the sunsets from the hot tub.
The host was very welcoming, everything was perfect. There were 13 of us at the house. We all had an amazing time. It was very clean and organized. I would definitely recommend this house. The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do. The pool, hot tub and yard were a big part of our days with 5 kids…they loved it all very much.
We had an amazing time at this property! It was the perfect size for our party of 20. Dylan was great to work with and attended our every need. The property was right across from Sunset Cliffs and provided amazing sunset views from the front deck! Our next family reunion in San Diego will definitely be at this property!
host were very accommodating and hospitable. location was great, view was spectacular. fire pit in front for watching people and sunsets, well equipped back yard with pool hot tub and games. kitchen was large & had anything you would need. lots of seating for dining and gathering.

2 stars. We travel a lot and don't expect perfection, but this property needs major fixes for this price point: cleanliness, worn amenities, and a costly daily pool heat fee for a pool that isn't accessible full-time.The front deck was incredible — mornings, evenings, wildlife, glorious sunsets, and a lively local scene. Passers-by were friendly.Our multi-generational family (ages 9-89) picked this house for the pool and hot tub. We arrived to a green, algae-filled pool and a grubby, rusted hot tub — nothing like the photos. No lighting there at night, and the owner's response was a lecture about the noise ordinance, not a fix. A dark pool rea is a safety hazard, not a solution. The 100/day pool heat fee is exorbitant given limited access.Inside wasn't much better. Issues reported early: dishware with food residue, dusty ceiling fans that rained dust down, hair on pillows, stained linens/towels, a broken screen door causing countless flies, shower heads that popped off, two broken irons before family photos (reimbursed), a moldy washer, weak dryer, broken pool skimmer, dirty/worn furniture, rusty box fans, and dander-filled carpets.We expected a home that we truly guest-ready and spent too much of our trip working to meet a basic level of cleanliness. Management waived our per-person rate, but a basket of cheap booze didn't match the problems — waiving the pool heat fee would've meant more.We wouldn't rebook, and urge the owners to fix maintenance and cleanliness immed

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 28, 2026
Thank you for highlighting some of the wonderful things about the house and the location -- front deck with glorious sunsets, friendly passers-by and wildlife sightings. The summer of 2026 has been challenging as San Diego has experienced record-breaking hot and humid weather. Extremely hot weather can promote algae growth, which we knocked down with granulated chlorine the morning before you arrived. We immediately refunded you for one day of pool heat, as we agreed the pool needed 4 hours to dissipate the granulated chlorine. By the next morning, the pool was crystal clear during our visit with you, and you agreed that the algae had been eliminated.
We do not intend to "lecture" anyone, but we are clear in all of our listings about many things -- 1) gas-fired pool heat is optional and the cost is $99/day; and 2) we have quiet hours starting at 8:00 at which time all outdoor activity should be brought inside or kept to the front deck where neighbors are less likely to be disturbed.
We go to great lengths to be very clear and transparent on these issues in our listings, so neither of these items should be a surprise to anyone. If these terms do not work for your group, then the property is not the right property for your group. We are subject to the San Diego short-term rental rules regarding neighborhood noise regulations, and we comply with those rules as all responsible rental hosts should. Regarding cleaning, we always offer to have our cleaning crew return if guests are not satisfied -- our crews work hard, and if they miss something, they are happy to return and make it right. We would have appreciated hearing about your cleaning issue during your stay, as we could have sent a crew over the same day to address it. We certainly addressed the shower head replacement immediately the same day -- the house is large with lots of moving parts, and mechanical things do occasionally fail. We cannot prevent that. What we can do is address issues quickly when they are communicated to us.
The funny thing is that the group who stayed the week before you left a 10-star review- they had a wonderful time. Same house -- same dishware, same fans, furniture, and carpets. We are VRBO Premier Hosts and Super Hosts, and VRBO displays the "Loved by Guests--Top 10% of guest reviews in this area" badge on this property, reflecting the 90% of our guests who give our properties 5-Star Reviews.
Thank you for your 5-Star review and for pointing out that Villa Mar Vista was very clean for you and your guests. Cleanliness and health and safety are at the forefront of our cleaning crews' minds when they are doing deep cleanings of all our homes. This really shows up in our guest comments which makes us very appreciative to have cleaning crews who are so invested in their work.
We thank you for being such wonderful guests and we look forward to hosting you again in the future. Alll the best.
Excellent location, this house is great for family and friends is close to several attractions the house has everything is needed for a good time.I highly recommend it.
Overall this home was perfect for our family event. Loved the location overlooking the water!

Thank you for hosting your family reunion at Villa Mar Vista which is one of our largest family reunion oceanfront homes with accommodations for 22 persons if you rent the optional Casita. The view of the Pacific Ocean sitting in the Jacuzzi Spa are amazing as are the water views from the oceanfront Trex deck. We hope we can host your next 3-generation family gettogether at Villa Mar Vista in the future.
Sunset Cliffs Blvd is a perfect launch point to all attractions in San Diego. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable.
Overall a very good VRBO.
We had a great week of pool time and various zoo, safari, whale watching and beach excursions. The VRBO location was perfectly situated for easy drives and then relaxing evening. Our family of 11 ages from 64 to 4 months had a great San Diego experience.
The picture of the backyard made it look quite a bit bigger. But regardless, the kids had a GREAT time playing in the pool. Great home for big family gathering. The family walked to the beach and had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend.
