The house is glorious. It is furnished completely in keeping with the age of the house. The master suite is absolutely splendid. You feel you need a glass of bubbles to appreciate the full joy of sitting in the bath! There are so many drawers and cupboards, it's hard to imagine the possessions of the original owners. If you look carefully and the mirrored wall, you will find two handles which open sections of the wall. Hidden behind them are two dressing rooms.The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for a family or group of friends.The view from the hot tub is amazing. From the comfort of the bubbles, just sit and watch San Diego going about it's business. There are plenty of shops and restaurants in the area. We particularly liked Mitch's - a very informal fish restaurant set up by three fishing families. Yum!
In the hot tub - San Diego and beyond.

Spectacular home!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this home: it was spacious, had new central AC, indoor & outdoor dining areas, heated pool, hot tub, and spectacular views of San Diego Bay and the Naval Base. Hans was an attentive host. He was quick to respond to questions before our trip. He went above & beyond to give us all the comforts of home: free WiFi, new gas grill, pack-n-play for toddler, new beach towels, ice chest. The home is in great location, easy access to downtown, restaurants, boating, Coronado. We could’ve stayed longer just to enjoy the home!

Welcome to vintage 'Old Hollywood' style glamour. What a stunning place. We spent a week here and were just wowed by the house, the view, the pool, the hot tub. It's all really wonderful. We were so relaxed sitting outside for most of our time and slept well in the quiet, private spaces. It was also a perfect location for getting around to our San Diego wishlist for restaurants and activities with many great eateries close by. Don't miss Jensen's grocery store up the hill for stocking the fridge during your stay as well as Cabrillo monument being very close and amazing views. The owner was very responsive and kind. Would highly recommend. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The house is in immaculate condition and location is fantastic. Views of the bay, boats, and evening city lights make for a wonderful experience at all times. House is spacious and layout very thoughtful. Plenty of room for large groups and a great launch location for a family golf trip with several excellent tracks within 30 minutes. We will stay at this home each time when visiting San Diego.

This is one of the nicest vacation homes we’ve ever stayed in, and certainly the most memorable. We walked in just after dark on our first day, and were quite literally stopped in our tracks by the view of downtown San Diego and the harbor! The house feels alive, with an interesting history, and we had a wonderful time exploring all of the built-ins ,semi-hidden walk in closets, and period touches with our six year old son. The floor to (very tall!) ceiling windows throughout the home give an incredible view, but the way the house is situated and landscape makes it feel totally private. We’re hoping to stay here again soon! The host was very communicative and welcoming, and all of the instructions were very clear and straightforward.
