Amazing place, great space to entertain. Kitchen features induction cooktop and a double oven, so cooking was no issue and fun for our group. Place was expansive and just amazing all around. Plenty of towels for both indoor and outdoor. Plenty of seating for our party of 14. This truly felt like a solid retreat. I’d stay here again for a future trip.

Beautiful Lakeside Hilltop Retreat

The property is beautiful inside & out. Our family enjoyed our week in San Diego. The house sits on a hill with beautiful views. Lots of space for the family, many activities to keep the family entertained, with trampoline, horseshoes, privacy, BBQ, fire pit, always cool with good air circulation.

Perfect spot for our family

This was the perfect place to stay for our family. Everything we wanted to do was within about 30 minutes of the house. Our 8 year old loved the pool and grandma made good use of the recliners. The views were gorgeous. Pictures of the property were accurate and everything was clean. Mark was very helpful with any questions we had and always responded quickly. We would stay again!

Family trip

Beautiful home with gorgeous views. The kids really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. There are some cameras on the property that were not disclosed in the listing, not an issue but would be nice to know about in advance especially the one above the hot tub.

My apologies, I didn't realize the cameras were not listed here on VRBO. Most of my reservation come from the other booking site and they are listed there. I have updated the listing. Also, the cameras on the front and back (pool/spa area) are off when guests are here.

Pure Bliss!

My girlfriends and I stayed here for a bachelorette weekend and were so happy with this house. It's exactly as it looks in the pictures, if not even more stunning in person! There are lots of guidelines to the stay, but nothing that takes away from the experience of relaxation, breath-taking views, and an amazing feeling being up on the hills. The host was so communicative and quick to respond. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your home, Mark!

We had the most incredible stay! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. The host’s communication was above and beyond - responsive, kind, and made us feel so welcomed. The space itself was absolutely stunning - spotless, thoughtfully designed, and even more beautiful in person than in the photos. Every detail was so well-considered, and the accommodations exceeded all of our expectations.It truly felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, luxurious, and perfectly hosted stay. Thank you again for everything - we loved every minute!

This property was great for a large family who wanted a quiet place to gather. Kitchen was stocked with every tool/pot/pan you’d need in addition every spice/seasoning. The blackstone was a great bonus and everyone enjoyed the pool. The views were great and it was fun to actually see and hear wildlife! The host was superb and very communicative throughout the process and very responsive when needed. It was also nice having Batman watch over us haha (see photo)
