Gorgeous Large Spa home with Views. Great Location!
You can SEE IT ALL from this spectacular view home. Ideally situated in the heart of San Diego, this Bay Park ocean view and Mission Bay view home is truly magnificent and unique.
This 2400 sq foot home with Spa features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths spread over 3 stories and was designed and built by renowned modern architect Bruce Dammann
The front of the home has been newly renovated and includes a modern redwood balcony façade, along with a tall fence/gate encompassing a private courtyard. There is a café table, perfect for morning coffee.
The main floor is wide open, with floor to ceiling windows and includes a dining room that can seat up to 8 people, a newly remodeled chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances, and a spacious living room that flows into the backyard. The main floor also includes a half bath and laundry in the garage.
The large backyard is almost completely covered in usable deck space and includes outdoor dining area for 6-8. Most importantly, the backyard also has a very private 6 person SPA.
The second floor is a large entertainment room, with a 50” flatscreen TV and ample custom sofa seating. Play video games, watch movies, Netflix, DirectTV, or just relax and enjoy the view. There is front balcony off the entertainment room as well.
The third floor features 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom alone is worth the visit. The room is enormous and includes a love seat and daybed seating area, along with a King sized bed and fireplace and skylights. The room, especially the bed, feels like you are floating in the air as the west and south walls feature nearly 40 feet of floor to ceiling windows. Lying in bed you will see planes taking off in the distance, the Coronado Island’s, Point Loma and ocean from Ocean Beach to La Jolla. The view of Mission bay is breathtaking, especially watching the fireworks from Sea World. The master also features a gorgeous newly remodeled spacious bathroom vanity area and a separate shower.
The second and third bedrooms are joined though a single pass through doorway, which combines the two rooms and a full bath, and can serve as a second master setting. The two rooms do have doors that can divide them but multiple parties sharing these two rooms should be familiar. Room two and three each have a queen bed. There is also a twin air mattress in the house,. If there are children, the daybed in the master would also be a viable sleeping space. The overall interior design is of a Mid Century Modern concept.

Beautiful property, great location
Excellent experience renting at this property. The house is beautiful, clean, and well kept. It is conveniently located in Mission Bay, minutes from Interstate 5. The quiet neighborhood is on a hill where you can see fireworks at night at Sea World over the bay. The back patio and deck area was spacious and welcoming. Highly recommend and thank you.

Great house, authenticity mid-century with just the right updates.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in San Diego. The house is extremely well located with convenient freeway access. Quiet neighborhood and neighbors. Great outdoor space with strung lights, table and jacuzzi -perfect for chilly evenings. We highly recommend the house to anyone who appreciates the best architecture of the 1970's. The only thing missing was a couple chaise lounge chairs on the deck a little warmer temperatures.

Great location
House is dated and in a mixed neighborhood but offers pretty good privacy in the backyard. The hot tub is partially visible from the street. Lots of spider webs in the windows, beds are queen and not very comfortable. Downstairs powder room is unusable because pocket door does not close. Overall good experience but the pictures make it look better than it is. Property management was excellent.

Disappointed
The pictures are disseptive. The furnishings are very dated and on the last day a roach fell out of one of the lights. Definitely not worth the rate per night. We have stayed elsewhere in San Diego before for a nicer place for less money. The owner is however really nice and the area was in a great location.

We are happy to hear that you found the house to be in a great location and that the services provided to you by the Property Management team to be very good.
It is however, very rare for us to find the need to respond to a review such as this, and although we appreciate your feedback, we humbly disagree on your assessment of the furnishings. They are of a Mid Century modern genre and exactly as depicted and described on the website so that you can better make your decisions that are to your liking and style choices, prior to booking.
Also, in all our years of managing this home, we have never had one other group of guests put forth this type of pest complaint and it is disturbing to us to hear of this.
We had an in depth conversation with the Head of our cleaning services- who confirms they too have NEVER seen any pests in the home.
We also have a superior Pest control service who just completed a thorough inspection of the premises and have found no evidence of any breaches, leading them to conclude that the sighting must have been a one time occurance.
Our apologies are extended to you for your experience of this one time random event.
We hope that our future guests will appreciate that we manage this home with Cleanliness and Integrity and our goals are always to have your vacation be of a highly enjoyable experience!

Charming Home, With Spectacular Views, in a primo location!
If totally modern is your thing, this home may not be for you. While the home does have modern kitchen appliances, it could use an update in utensils and some furnishings throughout the home. However, it is a large and unique layout, with a beautiful back yard setting and incredible views from the master bedroom at sunrise. We spent most of our time on lower level, enjoying the outdoors. A tv on the patio or on the lower level would of really completed the stay. Overall, we had a wonderful trip, in a great location and would definitely recommend staying at this unique property.

Excellent property managers and excellent location!
Let me begin by saying that Bruce and Susan were a pleasure to deal with. Susan from the beginning was very quick to reply and upon our arrival, in which we were early, Bruce took the time to make sure that we had everything that we needed and showed us how everything worked. As for the property itself, it is in a great area, especially for young families, very close to La Jolla, Sea World, and the Zoo. The backyard was the crown jewel of the property which is very secluded and makes it very easy to relax after a long day. As for the house itself, the layout is great with lots of room to move around. As someone who has read hundreds of reviews on Vrbo for numerous properties, I understand how important these reviews can be to both the owners and the renters. The property is exactly as you see in the pictures. However, with all a positives of the property listed above, the house could use a few updates. We felt that even with its 70's feel this property does need some updated furniture, especially a new bed in the room with a the futon. With a few new pieces of furniture this property could truly be a retreat not of the ordinary!! The backyard, the property managers, and the excellent location are still the selling points for us with this property!

We do try and do our best to provide a superior Vacation Rental experience for families from around the world. Thank you also for the heads up about the bed. We appreciate your feedback and will look into this immediately. We do offer discounts for repeating guests so be sure to come back soon. Regards, Susan and Bruce
The overall stay was great. Location is perfect. Nestled in a nice neighborhood central to all major destinations. Airport, highway, downtown and the beach. The house was awesome and loved the spa feature!
This home is in a great location. The house is large and spacious. The property manager Bruce is great. He was responsive and provided great insight into the neighborhood. Two of the beds are firm and the hot tub is a little faulty. Overall I would visit this home again.
Good location, it was easy to get around from this home base. The property manager was very responsive. The beds weren't the most comfort, but we were so tired after a long day of fun we slept great anyway. There was a well stocked kitchen perfect for cooking meals at the house. Loved the back yard area.
Location, location, location! Layout was great. Kitchen had most of the tools we wanted.
Property needs a refresh of furniture and a deep clean. We had to reach a plug behind bed and found it to be very dusty and dirty.
Beds all need to be updated. Mattresses are old. I’ve seen the owners response that perhaps people have different preferences but after sleeping there for a week, I didn’t sleep well because the mattresses are thin and aged.
Overall we had a good experience but I would probably pass on staying there again because of the poor sleep quality.
Location was awesome! Only a few minutes away from Old Town, La Jolla, Pacific beach, and so much more. The house has such a cool retro vibe. Great place for a family vacation. Would definitely stay again!
Thank you for a relaxing stay, we were grateful to get away to warmer temperatures and visit.

Nice house
+ Susan is very responsive, and clearly has experience running the house
+ has tons of towels, games, books, etc
+ Glass windows in the master bedroom makes the view quite stunning
+ plenty of space for the whole family to lounge around
+ Susan and I encountered some issues with the HomeAway platform, and she was patient throughout the process (the back and forth and problems were all caused by HomeAway and the fact they outsource their payment platform)
- quite cold in December (in certain parts of the house) — though there are heaters everywhere. Just doesn’t reach some areas
- third bedroom doesn’t feel like a bedroom because of the need to walk-through to the 2nd bedroom — this is clearly stated in the listing and is my fault for not imagining or understanding this correctly
- Not a ‘one-click-and-you’re set’ type of booking — i.e., Needed to send (via physical mail) a printed contract to Susan for the house before the booking is set. Maybe not a problem for others, but I work a 70hr/week job and would rather have bookings be simple
- we had to buy our own shampoo and conditioner (maybe we just didn’t find it? We just looked in the bathrooms)
- During the HomeAway booking issue, something became messed up with the security deposit. Susan called me on the 2nd to last day of the stay to try to resolve this and have me pay the security deposit then. I understand it was a bad situation for Susan (to not have a security deposit on the house because of the HomeAway platform issues), but being interrupted during a stay (and so close to the end — less than 20 hours to check out) to discuss an issue like this at some length interrupted the feeling of vacation. Should have been resolved earlier, or not during vacation.
Overall: nice house, average value, but I wouldn’t stay again.

Beautiful, stylish, and comfortable property in prime location!
My husband and I, our 2 kids, and 3 grandparents stayed in this wonderful property for a lovely vacation in San Diego. We had an amazing time! The house accommodated us all very comfortably.
This property is an absolute architectural gem. It laid out very beautifully. The mindful decor is fantastic in its retro chic style. It has dramatic stylistic touches everywhere - we really appreciated the hung artwork and the stonework within the house.
We spent quite a bit of time enjoying the backyard, with the lovey deck and hot tub. We barbecued and enjoyed meals outside, basking in the beauty of our surroundings. We would definitely stay here again, and recommend that you do too!

Great location, ideal for familes and multiple couples
Bruce who manages the property was terrific, very helpful and accommodating. We had a late flight and since no one was checking in the day we checked out he gave us a late check out time. The house itself is very spacious, wonderful kitchen and dinning area, both indoors and outdoors. The bedrooms are a good size especially the master. My only complaint and the reason for 4 starts instead of 5 was the bed in the master was very uncomfortable. In my opinion the mattress needs to be changed out. The location is absolutely terrific. Close to all the beaches, Gaslamp district, Old Town and Little Italy. Plenty of parking at the house. Very quiet neighborhood.

Hi Warren. We are so pleased that you loved the house and that you had such a great time in San Diego. Sorry about the bed. It's not even two years old....perhaps just a difference of preferred firmness?
