Hidden Villa San Diego

We had a lovely stay at Marc’s guest cottage . I came for an event with my two grown children and we were very comfortable. The patio Is quite large and private and a wonderful place to relax and also to dine. Marc even offered me a late checkout as he didn’t have anyone coming in the day we left. I’ve never had a host offer that proactively and it was very much appreciated. The location is close to everything yet very private. I would definitely book again. Thank you!

Fantastic Getaway

Stayed 3 nights at the Hidden Villa and really enjoyed it! Location is great as it is in a quiet area but close to all the places we ventured in San Diego. Very clean accommodations and had everything we needed. Marc was very responsive and a great host. Would definitely recommend this spot and would certainly stay again.

This property was perfect for our San Diego stay. The outdoor area was a huge bonus and provided a quiet sanctuary at the end of each day. They have a fully equipped kitchen, outdoor BBQ, and AC. I will definitely try to book it again when I'm in SD.

We had a comfortable stay as a family of 5 in the cozy villa. Our teen son slept on the big couch instead of the rollaway provided as space was a bit tight, but it worked for us. Outdoor patio was excellent! Great neighborhood with a lot of things to do within 5-20 minutes of driving. The hosts were very accommodating. We had a great time there!

Great place in fantastic location!

My wife, 6 month old son, dad and his girlfriend all stayed here for a long holiday weekend. The house itself was very clean, stocked for all you need, and was a fun hangout. It’s in a great location - close to the airport and central to just about everything in San Diego. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back!

Very cute little home overall

It was a nice little house. But there was some odd things that would happen at night and things me and my friends heard. For example, when we got there the window in one of the rooms was closed, but noticed it was opened the last night and none of my friends opened it.

great place for a vacation stay.

Comfortable stay. Owner was very responsive to a few interactions and at the same time was non intrusive to our vacation. A great hidden patio which we truly enjoyed frequently (even though the weather was not exactly cooperative). Many songbirds added to our enjoyment. Beds were fantastic. Thanks Much!

Why they chose this property

This property has a very peaceful feeling of quiet and serenity, yet only one minute from the freeway. It is centrally located, a few minutes from Old Town, yet feels like it is hidden back in forest of trees. The villa is warm, beautiful and opens to a large private fenced yard for peaceful outdoor living. We have lived in many beautiful places in San Diego but this one is the most comfortable and serene. We have used this guest villa for friends and relatives over the past year. When they leave, the comments are the same...."Wow, this place is absolutely beautiful, it's so warm and rich, I love the colors and textures." The last thing they say is " I slept like a baby, that mattress was nice." The patio is surrounded by Tivoli lighting which adds a beautiful warmth when entertaining with friends. We have a new stainless steel barbeque and seating for a good sized group of friends to share some great moments together.

What makes this property unique

The lot on which this little villa shares with our main home is 14,500 sf. It is heavily planted with huge trees and shrubs offering a truly tranquil location. The fenced huge private patio is furnished for your barbecuing and dining pleasure.
