Would 100% stay here again!

We stayed here for a bachelorette and had more room and space than we expected! The rooftop area was our favorite part. We had all the amenities we needed and the location to all areas of SD was so convenient. The host was super quick to respond to concerns and questions too. We’d recommend this place to anyone!

Tuscan villa...San Diego

The listing was as described and the owner quick to provide information as needed. The location was super convenient with easy access to major travel routes. The home was spacious for our party of nine. The individual air conditioning control for each bedroom was a definite plus.

Family vacation

House was in central location for excursion elsewhere. Parking was tuff when school was letting out and for when they had an event going. Lotsa stairs in the home so you if you have knee issues would not recommend. Was disappointed with the pool and hot tub - had some issue that could not be fixed during our stay. Roof top view was beautiful . Had sink issues and Ali had the people there to fix it same day. He was very accomodating with items that needed attention .

Beautiful property with spacious bedrooms

I was surprised by how spacious the bedrooms were. Everybody had a really good amount of personal space. The pool and hot tub were very clean and nice also. We did have a noise complaint one night for being on the rooftop but I didn’t think we were being too loud. So I would be careful next time on noise.

Family reunion and retirement celebration

We had family in from the east coast and Texas for a retirement ceremony. We rented 3 properties in total but hung out at this property the majority of the time, grilling and at the pool. Walking distance to old Town, crib for the babies and other accessories for the kiddos. We had a great time even though sunny San Diego wasn’t so sunny for our stay lol. First week of June 2024.

Family Trip

The property was great for the amount of people we had. Everyone had their own space and enough space to relax. It was great for the 3 kids under 4 that we traveled with, there was space for their toys, the high chair and pack and play, and crib that was provided was very helpful. Ali was accommodating with the various requests we asked for, early check in, bringing a dog and then choosing not to bring the dog. There was only one issue with communication regarding heating the pool, but it got figured out in the end. We knew there would be a lot of stairs, but if you are staying here, there is A LOT of stairs, so be prepared! The space that they had is maximized. Some of the parts of the house were a bit old (some flooring that was squeaky, knobs that didn't stay on cupboards, etc.) but the house was exactly what we needed for our trip. The main tv was very slow, and we had a lot of issues with the internet staying connected, but the location, amount of space, and the pool made up for it.

4th of July staycation

We stayed local and rented this house to have the whole family together and to be able to see the fireworks. The view of the fireworks was absolutely spectacular. The viewing deck could have held 30 people so it felt like a real treat to have it to ourselves. The house itself was reminiscent of an exquisite Italian villa with plenty of room to spread out.What makes the house have that great view (being very tall) also meant that it has dozens of stairs- something I hadn’t considered for our elderly guests. To enter the property is a fairly steep climb and then the house has many levels with more stairs. I had a nice built in workout as I brought in groceries and belongings.There were some things that didn’t work well like the garbage disposal (not at all), couldn’t ever figure out the living room TV, and one of the room air conditioners barely worked while another the set up would have required more effort than we were willing to give. While the owner was incredibly responsive, it did make us think that we would likely go back to a hotels in the future. Nothing about this specific house but in general we commented how the rental houses always have things that don’t work and you have no front desk to call down to.We had a great stay and appreciated the opportunity to rent this gorgeous house with the unbeatable view for the week.

Lovely house but needs work.

This house is spacious and comfortable. Few issues with pool spa. Controls broken, every time we wanted to use the spa, had to call pool man to turn on remotely. Was very annoying. Air conditioning on first floor works for 10 min at a time, it gets really really hot in the afternoon so we had some uncomfortable days. Outdoor furniture was old and moldy, especially roof deck. The biggest issue was the front stairs are crumbling. Parts without railing and the stones are falling apart. Poor lighting at night makes it worse. Even being extra careful we were slipping. Host left a binder with instructions, restaurants, trip ideas that we used daily, a great help. I’d recommend this house for a fun family vacation, rooms big enough to move around in, large kitchen, first floor bedroom was perfect. Pool was gorgeous!

It was perfect for a family of 12 to attend Marine Corps Boot Camp Family day and Graduation. Wish we had more time at the rental to enjoy the amenities. The 4 bedrooms plus the large bunk bedroom with the 4 bathrooms made the stay very comfortable. The stairs gave us our exercise and required assistance on the part of family members to the elderly couple with us. Nothing that couldn't be managed.

Overall this house was exactly what my family needed. There is an AC unit per room which really helps when you have a multi generation family where we had folks who ran very hot and ones who run very cold. It also had enough rooms and bathrooms and space for us to spread out. You can tell the owner had chosen quality furnishings and decor. The only issues we had were the stairs which for my father who is 88 was a bit challenging so be sure to keep that in mind and the noise although the rooms on the 1st and 2nd levels had less of that issue. Between the train, the planes and the racers it was similar to living in a city but again the house is well insulated and the curtains helped. There was more than enough plates and utensils for a house that size as well as towels for the whole family. We really enjoyed the house and our stay in San Diego!

Great for big groups!

Perfect spot and size house for a big group! Loved the location, pool and view from the deck. Traffic is loud from the roofdeck, but can't really be heard indoors. A few small things that would have made our stay a bit more "homey" would have been some type of storage/dresser (especially in the bunk room where there was no closet) and towel hooks in the bathroom/bedrooms. With a large group we didn't have anywhere to hang bathroom towels to dry. Great house and stay!

Upstairs shower issue

the upstairs shower was so hot that we could not turn it on very much or it would be too hot to shower. So we only got a drizzle from that shower. Overall experience was nice, the pool was good, Kids had fun in it. Would have been nice to have more viewing channels on the TV and the main room remote enter key was worn out. Thanks for the opportunity to stay there.

This house has everything

We had guests of all ages and this was the perfect house to accommodate everyone’s needs. There are plenty of spacious bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms so everyone has their private space. The pool and hot tub offered hours of fun and a great gathering place. The kitchen is very well stocked so easy to feed a big family. Views are great. It 5 minutes from the airport. It can be loud with the highway and airport so close but no one complained in our group….bring sound machines. There is no way to enter the house without climbing stairs so be prepared. Ali was responsive to any questions. Definitely recommend this property! And check out Old Town just a couple blocks down the road….hidden treasure!

Fantastic Stay for a Special Occasion!We stayed at this beautiful San Diego property to celebrate our son’s graduation from USD, and it exceeded all expectations! The location was perfect—so close to the university and the airport, which made getting around and picking up family a breeze.The house itself was stunning and incredibly spacious, both inside and out. Multiple decks gave us plenty of space to spread out and relax. Our favorite was the large deck between the two master suites—morning coffee out there became a ritual. The rooftop deck was massive with incredible views of downtown and beyond. There were also two more decks, one off the dining area and one in front of the house.The pool and hot tub were a hit with everyone! Everything we needed was provided—from floaties to pool towels and even heating lamps (though the weather was perfect, so we didn’t need them). The kitchen was fully stocked, and every bedroom had access to its own bathroom—either private or shared between two rooms.The garage and additional street parking were super convenient, and the location felt safe and peaceful with a secure gated entrance. We loved being able to walk to Old Town and a cute coffee shop just down the street each morning.Check-in and checkout were seamless, with clear instructions provided. I highly recommend this home to families or groups looking for a comfortable, luxurious place to stay in the heart of San Diego. It truly felt like a private oasis.

About the host

Hosted by Ali Fakhimi

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Alex Fakhimi and I am a dentist living in San Diego with my wife and two children for the last 19 years. I moved here because of the beautiful city and the amazing weather as I'm sure why it is such a hot spot for vacationers. I use VRBO regularly for my own vacations and I know what it takes to offer a high quality house with the best amenities as well as convenience to local attractions, restaurants, etc. I pride myself and my homes to being some of the best you will find on VRBO. All of our guests have been quite pleased for going above and beyond their expectations regarding their stay in our home. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have; and enjoy your stay. Alex.

Why they chose this property

I chose to buy a vacation rental in San Diego because it's where I live, and for families from all over the world to be able to come with their families and friends and enjoy this amazing city, just as my family and I enjoy everyday. In fact I live only a couple of miles away from all of the vacation homes I have in San Diego. I believe it is one of the most beautiful places in the world that you can visit anytime of the year, not to mention the world renowned San Diego Zoo, Sea World, LegoLand, Convention Center, and many more attractions. That's why it is called "America's Finest City!"

What makes this property unique

Panoramic views from the house, privacy, pool, jacuzzi, BBQ, the luxury of the house with beautiful decorations, furniture, elegance, huge roof top deck, and convenience to all San Diego attractions within a few minutes. Uber is best way to get around San Diego. You will feel like you are staying in your own private resort.
You can contact the owner to discuss any attraction/restaurants, hot spots, and activities available in San Diego. We can provide a chef as well as daily maid service if requested.
