- Are day time visitors to the property allowed ?
Yes they are allowed provided if you let us know (well in advance) their names and date of visit on the airbnb chat. There is a resort facility charge of $60 per visitor for each day of visit. Any visitation without prior intimation is grounds for booking termination and eviction.

- Is the Pool heated? All year round ?
Yes, to both. The pool can be heated (optional) if prior notice of a few days is given. We use a combination of a high performance commercial Heat pump & 2 conventional gas heaters at the resort. Collectively with over 900,000 BTU capacity, they ensure an all year round heating ability for the pool & spa.

If you want the pool to be heated, it will cost $200 per night of your reservation So, for example, if your reservation is 2 nights and you want pool heating, then we will send you a $400 fee request. The pool heating fee is all or nothing. For bookings for over 3 nights or more, pool heating charges are capped at $500.

Heated spa fee is $75 a day. For stays of 3 nights or more spa heating is $ 50 a day. Also, the fee is only charged by the day (pay as you use), not for the entire booking term. So for the days you are not using the heated spa, there will be no charge.

- How to turn on the Spa jets?
Just send us a message on Airbnb chat 30 minutes prior to spa use & we will remotely turn them on for you. Similarly, please let us know when you're done for us to turn off the system. The jets have a self shut off timer as well.

The property was even better than we could imagine. From the pool to the fireplace, this stubby house really allowed us to celebrate my wife’s birthday and have a memorable experience.

Perfect for a mom's getaway
We had a wonderful at this property. The layout was perfect for hangout time. We enjoyed all our meals together on the large dining table. The spa was spacious and hot. The views incredible. The property management team was responsive, helpful, and accommodating. Our entire group is looking forward to returning in the future.

Amazing property + amazing hosts
Amazing! The property (pool, house, spa, games, facilities) as a whole was fantastic, with every amenity and thoughtful touch you could hope for (welcome basket, state of the art espresso maker, dishes and pots and pans and teas and coffee and spices....). It was perfect for 3 generations of our family to hang out in for a week - enough room so we were able to do things together, but also have our own spaces, including an amazing kitchen to prepare our meals. Easy access to downtown and the coast, and grocery stores nearby. And the Teal team (Jessica in particular) were fantastic hosts. Incredibly responsive to any request, excellent communication at all times, and generally a pleasure to deal with. Hope to back one day soon!

Great oasis
One of the BEST homes we have stayed in. HUGE home, plenty of space, more than enough for the six of us. Beautiful pool, quiet neighborhood and very secluded up on a hill with a great view! Only 15 min from Old Town San Diego,. Hosts we're very attentive. Would definitely stay here again!!!.

What makes this property unique

The house is located at the coveted bluffs of Mount Helix, surrounded by acres of undeveloped land in its pristine form. Experience the grandeur of this one of a kind hillside estate which makes an ideal home base for a classic yet unique San Diego experience.

Mt. Helix is a historic amphitheater and nature preserve with a steep summit. The views of the valley from the top makes the area one of the most photographed locations in San Diego, as well as one of the top tourist attractions. On a clear day at the hill top, you can see all the way to Tijuana, Mexico or Orange County CA on the other side.
