Fabulous retreat for our family at Thanksgiving

Gorgeous home that served as a wonderful retreat for our family at Thanksgiving. The home met all our needs and has wonderful outdoors landscaping including a pool and hot tub. The location was great for our needs exploring the Southern California coast. If only we could have stayed longer. We look forward to returning! The hosts were terrific — they were responsive and very communicative. Thanks for an amazing time/stay!

Dream vacation house

This property lives up to its description and far more. I was particularly impressed by the cleanliness of the interior and exterior and the high level of maintenance and quality amenities. The space is ideal for 2 small families to share , with room to retreat and to come together. The pool provided recreation for the younger kids and the hot tub and patio was perfect for the adults. The kitchen is fully equipped and well laid out. Most importantly, the host was attentive and very responsive. Our only disappointment was the highway noise (not something that can be controlled) but we did get used to it after a few days. We’ll be back!

Hilltop Retreat with lots of space!!

Everything was perfect! The house is big enough for the 6 of us to have a space and still come together for dining and watching movies in the evening. The pool and outdoor patio area are great. We did not get to make as much use of them as we wanted, as the weather was not always sunny! When we were outside it was very comfortable and lots of space! The views of the surrounding countryside were fantastic from anywhere in the home! Loved, loved, loved all of the outside decks!!! Owners were very helpful and pleasant! Love to stay here again when in CA! Thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us.

A diamond in the rough!

Jaw dropping from the moment you first arrive at the home! This place did not disappoint! This was my first trip to California and I must say this place set the bar very high for any future trips for me! The pictures online do it no justice at all! The owners have thought of everything! We felt very comfortable and at home while we were there. The accommodations were VERY clean. The property manager responded promptly with all questions and requests. I am already planning my return trip next year to welcome my new grandbaby! Thank you to the owner and property manager for making this a memorable trip!

I love being a host because it gives me the opportunity to create a space where people can truly relax, reconnect, and make meaningful memories. There’s something special about knowing that families, friends, and couples are choosing this home as the backdrop for their vacations, celebrations, and time away from everyday life.

I take pride in making sure every detail of the property is thoughtfully prepared so guests feel comfortable the moment they arrive. From the little touches to the overall experience, my goal is always to make sure guests feel welcomed, cared for, and able to fully enjoy their stay.

Hosting is incredibly rewarding because it allows me to share a place I love with people from all over, and knowing that guests leave with great memories of their time here is the best part.

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood because it perfectly blends tranquility with convenience. Nestled in Escondido’s scenic hills, it offers a peaceful escape while still being just minutes from vibrant shops, restaurants, and local attractions. The area has a warm, welcoming feel with beautiful views, quiet streets, and plenty of outdoor spaces to explore.

Guests love the combination of nearby wineries, hiking trails, and cultural spots, all while enjoying the calm and privacy of a hilltop setting. It’s a place where you can slow down, breathe in the fresh air, and soak up the beauty of North County San Diego, truly a special spot for making memories.

What makes this property unique

Hilltop Hacienda offers a peaceful hilltop retreat with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, creating the perfect setting to relax and unwind. The property combines privacy, space, and a true Southern California indoor-outdoor lifestyle, giving guests plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

One of the things that makes the property especially unique is the feeling of being tucked away in nature while still being close to everything North County San Diego has to offer. Guests can spend the day exploring nearby beaches, wineries, and attractions, then return to a quiet, scenic space to watch the sunset and recharge.

The home is designed with comfort and connection in mind, making it ideal for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Whether guests are enjoying the outdoor spaces, taking in the hilltop views, or simply spending quality time together, Hilltop Hacienda provides a memorable place to slow down and enjoy the moment.
