Secluded Sanctuary & Retreat - Sleeps 14

This 8-bedroom dream home includes two guest houses and delivers comfort from every nook and cranny including plentiful amenities, amazing architecture and elegant shabby-chic décor with many items imported from England. Located in the heart of Solana Beach, walking distance to many great restaurants, the beach and San Elijo lagoon.  With plenty of room for up to fourteen fortunate guests, Solana Beach Sanctuary represents a delectable slice of the Southern Californian paradise. 

Solana Beach Sanctuary is only rented when the owner is on vacation, so the house is truly homey and has lots of character. The house has a comfortable and elegant feel in terms of furnishings and color scheme, allowing for visitors to feel at home. An expansive great room with kitchen and dining area are open to the backyard, adding to the accessibility and smooth flow of the home. Featuring vaulted ceilings with exposed wood ceilings, a natural stone fireplace, and imports from England such as the AGA stove and breakfast bar, Solana Beach Sanctuary sets the standard for luxury living in a true Californian spirit.

The grassy palm tree laden backyard has a large and inviting swimming pool with a waterfall and attached whirlpool spa. After a swim, enjoy a dry sauna before relaxing with a book under the lanai.  

This property has three separate living areas:

The main house of the Solana Beach Sanctuary has 4 bedrooms.  The master suite has a California king size bed, with an expansive en-suite bath, a fireplace and patio overlooking the pool area. Across the indoor bridge to the southern wing of the house there are two rooms with a shared bath. One has a trundle that converts to 2 twin beds or one king and a  60 inch TV complete with games.  The other a queen-size bed open to a large patio overlooking the pool area with lounge chairs.  Downstairs is the artists retreat off the main living area with a fireplace, another California King-size bed and en-suite bath.  The linens and furniture in each room are all elegantly shabby-chic themed. 

The detached pool house has a relaxing seating area with two lofts where guests can stay in comfortable beds (one queen bed and one full size bed).  There is a full bath and a small kitchen efficiency with microwave and mini-fridge.

The guest house provides some privacy for the guests that choose to stay here.  There is a king bed with a view of the pool located in the loft area and a trundle that can pull out into two twins or a king bed in a the den.  This guest house also provides a second kitchen area and laundry.

With fast Wi-Fi access, a modern home office, a library with fireplace, and located walking distance to the beach, guests are left desiring little else.

There are 3 parking spaces at the house for you to use. The Solana Beach Train station is an easy walk away. During the Del Mar Races, bus transportation is provided from this station directly to the race track or you can walk the one-mile along the lovely coastal train walk. Uber and Lyft are also great options for those times when you just don't want to drive.

Solana Beach is a beautiful seaside community with wonderful restaurants, bars, and the famous Belly Up Tavern for live music. The coastline has countless beaches and spots for surfing, tidepooling, and the nearby San Elijo Lagoon offers many wonderful trails and hikes.

Cedros Design District is a short stroll with a Winery, Brewery, many Cafes and fabulous shopping.

I will meet you at the house upon arrival to go over the many awesome details that you need to know like how to turn on the pool waterfall, make an amazing espresso or get the dry sauna ready for use. During your stay, you can always call me should you have any questions that the house information booklet does not provide. I am available 24 hours a day for questions :)

Heating of the pool is NOT available. You will be charged for the electricity if you heat the pool during your stay.

The pool is warm enough to swim comfortably in the summer months without heating :)
