Quick weekend trip.

Place was charming, clean and cozy place to stay for family of 5. Host was very responsive and accommodating. Little hard to find for the first time in the dark but once there, everything was great. Only 5 mins to Wild Animal Park. Little drive off the freeway but if you are looking for a place to relax, away from city than it a great place to stay.

Great Getaway!

We rented this lovely home for 2 nights in connection with visiting the nearby Safari Park. The hosts, Brad and Evania, were responsive, pleasant, and professional. Our kids (4 and 8) absolutely loved the home (lots of stairs and levels) and views (gorgeous)! The place was clean and well-appointed. We look forward to staying here again in the future when our travels bring us to this neighborhood!

Wonderful getaway

We had a plumbing issue at our home and ended up staying at the villa for almost 2 months while it was repaired. Evania and Brad were such friendly hosts and made us feel very welcome. We were so comfortable there, the place really turned into our home away from home!

Best place for a family of 5

I really have to think hard to find anything wrong with this place. Most everything you can think of was there , of course don’t get your imagination go wild. But by far one of the best places I have ever rented.

About the host

Hosted by Brad Kross

Host profile image
Nice to meet you! We are Brad and Evania. We moved to San Diego's North County shortly before getting married in 2012. We purchased the home and property in 2011 and turned it into the Tuscan Villa you see today! The hilltop views overlooking a vineyard and a valley of Hass Avocado groves are nothing short of amazing. This area is often referred to as the Tuscany of San Diego. We are located 2 minutes from the Zoo Safari Park, nearby Eaglecrest Golf Course, the San Pasqual Wine Trail, and we live in a neighboring home right up the hill and are available if you need anything at all!

Why they chose this property

It is taking a trip to the mountains of Italy, without having to leave San Diego. The landscape and views are unmatched. One of the last remaining Valley's full of working Hass Avocado groves. We typically harvest between February and June each year. Come pick your own!

What makes this property unique

Walk through 100 years of Avocado growing history in this property, or just sit in a big comfy chair looking out across the Valley Views. We have all sorts of wildlife - from Deer, to Coyotes, Rabbits, Bobcats, Red Tail Hawks. Guests are welcome to walk the grounds and enjoy any of the 4 beautiful decks.
