Excellent property if a view of San Diego is important. We found the property well maintained with a high level of attention to detail. The property was very clean and all systems worked well. We completely enjoyed the experience. It was a bit over priced but considering it was the July 4 weekend perhaps understandable.

We’re glad the view, cleanliness, and well-maintained feel made such a strong impression, and it’s great to hear everything worked as expected during your stay. Pricing July 4th weekend are often higher due to demand.

Everything was super clean, and the home was equipped with helpful extras (board games, pack n play, nice kitchen utensils, beach towels, etc). Rooms were spacious and furnished nicely. Property manager was extremely responsive and helpful via text with any questions we had. Views were 10/10 and the location very central, less than 10 minutes from shopping, dining, Balboa, Coronado, Petco Park, and more. You definitely hear the zoom of planes taking off from the airport when you're outside on the deck. If you are a light sleeper it might be an issue, but when all the doors and windows are shut it's much less noticeable inside, and there are no planes taking off between 11:30pm-6:30am (airport curfew hours). Overall a lovely stay and great setup for our large group!

Perfect stay in sunny San Diego

This property was a huge hit with all four of our adult children and ourselves. GREAT location. GREAT view. Everyone had their own room and declared the beds super comfy. I appreciated the master bedroom jetted tub after walking all day. A quick Uber to everywhere because the location was so ideal. Highly recommend this property.

Incredible view and space for everyone!

We had such a wonderful stay at the Hilltop Hacienda! The views are spectacular! There were 9 adults in our group and there was more than enough space for us all to spread out and have our own private bedrooms/retreats. The owner was very responsive via text, everything was clean and the kitchens were well stocked with most everything we needed. It was fun to watch the planes take off and land. There is noise from the airplanes from 6am to 10pm, but the view outweighs that minor inconvenience. Thank you for a great stay!
