Spent most of our time in backyard with the beautiful view. Kids had a great time in the pool. Plenty of room in the home to spread out if someone needed some quiet time. My kids walked down to some of the stores and said it was an uphill walk all the way back so I didn't try it. Grandkids all kept telling me what a great time they were having. It was the perfect place to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with family.

Roomy mansion

Three generations of family gathered for a week’s festivities and fun. Lots of room for games, relaxing and family meals together. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with everything needed. The large heated pool was a central gathering place for barbecues and pool fun. The few requests we made of David, property management, were promptly filled. Thanks David. The area is quiet and the view of la Jolla breathtaking. We would certainly book this property again.

Family Reunion

Lots of room and perfect for family time gathering either at kitchen table, in living room area(s) or around the pool. And the separate bedroom/bath for each adult/couple was a plus.However, the furniture and fixtures are all quite dated and well worn. A good spring cleaning, clearing out of old stuff that has amassed over the years, and replacement/ repair of some of the furniture would bring this gem back to its primo past.

Beautiful House

We are a family of 10 adults, 4 children and 1 infant. The house had plenty of space to all be together and yet spread out. The pool table was entertaining for adults and everyone enjoyed the hot tub spa and pool. The views are beautiful and the house is well equipped. We enjoyed out stay at this beautiful villa.

Vintage “Castle” in some disrepair

We planned a family reunion almost 2 years ago. This property seemed ideal at the time despite the cost and the exchange rates. There was no barbecue of any use only a rusted out "two burner" which was not safe or clean let alone with any meaningful utility for a house that big. There were at least 3 windows that could not be closed. It rained heavily during our week and we had three leaks. The pool was great but the spa never got hot enough and stopped working properly. One toilet ran over and we were told to use the plunger which we did but the problem didn’t resolve so we used another toilet. Most of the home living area didn’t have adequate heating. We never found a kettle so we used a pot on the stove to make tea. Maybe our expections were too high. However, it is a very grand old home with lots of space which needs freshining up to match the advertisement.

Dave was wonderful, accommodated our change in flights and even purchased pack n plays for our little ones! The pool, hot tub and that view, truly can’t be beat. The house was perfect for our large multi generation family, loved that the grandkids had their own space with the large open room and bedroom above the garage. We had a fabulous week in La Jolla!

Fabulous views and location and space

The Castle in the Sky has amazing views and a fabulous location for enjoying LaJolla and San Diego. It was great to have bathrooms for every bedroom. We loved the pool, hot tub, and pool table and had a great celebration dinner in the spacious dining room. The home is furnished with unique antique furniture. The large sectionals let our whole crew gather to watch football, though as some others have mentioned some chairs are showing their age. We also found the lighting a bit dark (for cooking), but overall loved it.
