About this property
Paradise Palms Retreat: Lux Vacay or Wedding! -- Welcome to Paradise!
Paradise Palms Retreat is a spacious private property in North County San Diego built for bringing people together. With room for up to 16 overnight guests, multiple living spaces, a detached game room, extensive outdoor entertaining areas, and parking for up to 14 vehicles, the property works especially well for families, group trips, reunions, and approved private gatherings.
⸻
THE PROPERTY
The home offers multiple levels of living and sleeping space, giving larger groups room to spread out while still having plenty of shared areas to spend time together.
The main level serves as the center of the home with a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, dining area, living room, two King suites, and an additional sleeping space.
Downstairs, guests will find additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a separate Media Room with a Queen sleeper sofa.
The private top-floor Penthouse Bedroom includes a Queen bed, TV, separate entry, and views across the property, Vista, and North County San Diego.
⸻
OUTDOOR LIVING
One of the highlights of Paradise Palms Retreat is its private tropical setting.
Approximately 3,500 sq. ft. of outdoor entertaining space is surrounded by mature palms and landscaping and includes:
* Custom fire pit * Outdoor kitchen * Outdoor dining and lounge areas * Custom evening landscape and overhead lighting * Large open entertaining area * Parking for up to 14 vehicles
Whether you’re having dinner outside, gathering around the fire pit, or spending an evening under the palms, the outdoor space gives larger groups plenty of room to enjoy the property together.
⸻
DETACHED CASITA / GAME ROOM
The detached Casita has been converted into a dedicated Game Room with ping pong, TV, bar-style seating, lounge space, and games.
Because it is separate from the main house, it gives guests another place to spend time together without crowding the home’s primary living areas.

This was the perfect stay for what we were looking for! Spacious home, easy check-in and check-out, and it had all the things we were looking for. The only thing was that the master bath shower was broken but there were so many other showers available, this didn't negate our experience.

We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate a major milestone like retirement. This house absolutely delivered on everything we needed and then some. From the moment we walked in, it was clear the property was well cared for—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for guests.The layout was perfect for relaxing and spending time together, whether it was morning coffee, evening drinks, or just unwinding after a long day. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were comfortable, and the overall atmosphere struck that ideal balance between “home” and “getaway.”What really stood out was how seamless everything felt. Check-in was easy, communication was clear, and there were zero issues during our stay—which, frankly, is exactly what you want when you’re trying to enjoy something as meaningful as a retirement celebration.Bottom line: this place helped make a big life moment even better. Highly recommend, and we’d absolutely stay here again.

We went here for a family reunion. 16 people so kind of tight, but honestly it all worked out great. The house was lovely and comfortable. The owner was very responsive to all our communications. Would stay again if back in the area

About the host
Hosted by Dylan Walsh
Hello there,
I'm Dylan, and I've been fortunate to call San Diego my home for the past 30 years, with a few delightful detours along the way.
Embracing diversity and forging connections with people from all walks of life has been a personal passion. It's this very love for cultural exchange that led me to become a full-time Airbnb host. I'm thrilled to open my space to fellow travelers and offer a warm, welcoming abode.
My heart finds solace in the waters, and I'm an avid enthusiast of water sports – paddle boarding, snorkeling, and surfing are my kind of adventure. Travel is not just a word; it's a way of life. With explorations spanning the United States and twenty other countries, my soul is forever touched by the beauty of our world.
Anticipation is mutual as I look forward to connecting with you. My aim is to ensure your stay is not only comfortable but etched with joyful memories. Let my team or me know if you have any inquiries – we're here to make your experience unforgettable.
Warmest wishes,
Dylan
What makes this property unique
Devotion knows no bounds when it comes to perfecting our property for our remarkable guests.
Our journey began in 2019 when we welcomed this exquisite home into our care, and since then, we've poured thousands of hours into crafting a haven that exceeds expectations.
Witness the evolution: a game room, a media room, and an intricately designed custom outdoor lighting project that beautifully illuminates the majesty of 30 Palm Trees and the unique landscaping that has been nurtured and refined through dedication and years of growth.
We're thrilled, truly thrilled, for you to embrace the sheer splendor that Paradise Palms Retreat unfolds. Your experience is a testament to our commitment to crafting a stay beyond compare.
With utmost excitement,
Dylan
