1-Acre Gated Home AND Guesthouse. Heated Pool & Spa. Victoria Avenue Retreat.

Welcome to Sunny Grove – a one-of-a-kind mid-century modern estate on a fully fenced and gated 1-acre property in Riverside. This private retreat features both a stylishly updated main house AND a newly built 400 sq ft guesthouse, making it ideal for multiple families, groups, or those who just want space and peace. With an oversized heated pool and spa, your vacation awaits.

Two Homes. One Stay. Total Privacy.

The main house offers 3 bedrooms and 2 remodeled bathrooms. The primary suite has a king bed, while the two guest rooms each offer queen beds.

Just steps from the pool and drenched in sunlight, the newly created 400 sq ft guesthouse features large sliding glass doors that open to the pool, creating the perfect indoor-outdoor vibe. It includes a king-size bed, a pull-out couch, a full bathroom, and a mini fridge — ideal for hosting guests, extended family, or giving someone in your group their own private retreat.

Resort-Style Grounds

Step into a private oasis that feels more like a boutique resort. The oversized saltwater + ozone pool (over 20,000 gallons) and built-in spa are surrounded by mature landscaping planted by the original owners, a master gardener and college professor over 65 years ago. Guests often say, “It felt like a five-star resort.”

Free spa heating is included. Want to heat the pool?

Pool heating costs vary by season — ranging from around $125/day in the winter to minimal cost in the summer, depending on your preferred temperature. We can heat the pool to any temp you like, and our winter guests often request 95°F for that warm bath feel. We charge only what it costs us — no markup.

Historic Orchard Setting

Located on Victoria Avenue, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and known as the birthplace of the navel orange, Sunny Grove includes:

- A dozen orange trees (Valencia + Navel)
- Lemon trees, a peach tree, walnut tree, kumquats, and more
- Avocado, grapefruit, pomegranate, blood orange, and even a bitter orange tree
- If you are lucky enough, you’ll hear the peacocks at the neighbor’s secluded orange grove next door (yes, really)
- Private, code controlled gated entry for maximum security and privacy.
- The Southern California that you’ve never experienced.

A Favorite California Escape

Whether you're planning a California vacation, escaping L.A. for a serene weekend, or seeking a peaceful alternative to Palm Springs, Sunny Grove offers a one-of-a-kind retreat. Our private, gated 1-acre estate — complete with a newly built guesthouse, lush landscaping, and a saltwater spa and pool — feels more like a secluded resort than a typical rental.

Guests stay for all kinds of reasons: milestone birthdays, family gatherings, quiet work retreats, or simply to relax beneath the orange trees. Many are visiting their kids at Cal Baptist, UC Riverside, or La Sierra University — all just minutes away. Others are attending weddings, local events, or youth sports tournaments.

In fact, families attending soccer tournaments at SilverLakes Sports Complex (only 20 minutes away) often tell us they've found their go-to home base, and many book return visits before they even leave.

Whatever brings you to Riverside, Sunny Grove is your perfect home away from home.

Dogs Welcome — No Fees. Ever.

We don’t just allow dogs — we welcome them. No pet fees, no guilt trips. The entire acre is fully fenced and gated, with a charming picket fence separating the front and back yards.

Many guests tell us it’s the first time they’ve ever felt their dogs were truly welcome on vacation. In fact, one of our recent guests said her pup had his first-ever vacation at Sunny Grove.

Sorry, no cats — those claws make us nervous.

- Roku TVs + premium sound bars in every room
- High-speed Wi-Fi throughout the entire property – even at the pool
- Ample gated parking (easily fits 10+ cars)
- Lush landscaping + shady areas to relax
- 5 minutes to groceries + restaurants
- 8 minutes to Cal Baptist, 15 minutes to UC Riverside
- 20 minutes to SilverLakes Soccer Complex
