♥ Luxury Hilltop Retreat in the City - Hot Tub! Central Location! Unforgettable Views! ♥

Luxury city living at its best! This newly remodeled home has stunning 270 degree views of the city and San Diego Bay. No expense was spared with the high-end upgrades throughout the property. Jaw dropping!

ABOUT THIS HOME
Are you ready to enjoy luxury city living at its best?

This newly remodeled home in the upscale Mission Hills neighborhood has stunning 270 degree views of the city and San Diego Bay and Coronado Island from its floor-to-ceiling windows in the kitchen, dining room and master suite. It was recently featured on the Travel Channel's story on leading vacation rentals in San Diego!

No expense was spared with the high-end upgrades throughout the property, and when you first see the view, we bet you'll have just one word…… “WOW!”

Located on a peaceful street in a great neighborhood, yet just 5 minutes to the heart of downtown and all the action, you couldn't stay in a more ideal location. You can walk to many of San Diego's top attractions, and drive to the rest in just 10-15 minutes!

To give you some added piece of mind, we want to let you know we have always had very high standards for cleaning and were already taking many of the precautions currently being recommended prior to COVID, including, but not limited to:

- We have a “clean linen” policy and all bedding is washed with very hot water between each guest and dried at high temperatures
- All high touch surfaces are thoroughly wiped down with disinfectant wipes
- Dishes are washed in a dishwasher

OVER THE TOP!

Over the top, not only in the view but all the amenities. Never have we had such a rental, stocked with wonderful products, in the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. We enjoyed the cleanliness and everything is like new! They didn't forget anything! Our favorites: the view, all the games provided- even a dart board and foosball table, and cleaning supplies and spices and ziplocks, sound machines in the bedrooms complete with ocean sound setting, AND covered garage parking- OH MY! The location was so close to all the things top on our to do list! I truly cannot express enough the beauty of this home. The price was also so reasonable compared to other choices we looked at. We will be planning our next trip to San Diego based on the availability of this wonderful home.

Luxury Hilltop Retreat is by far one of our favorite properties that we have ever stayed at. We absolutely loved all of the amenities, and the comfort and cleanliness of the home was exceptional. The views are spectacular, we loved sitting on the balcony and watching the aircraft carriers coming into port. Everything is within a 10 minute drive or less, wonderful restaurants along Harbor drive and the weather was perfect. Little Italy, USS Midway and Old Town are great places to visit. We would definitely love to stay here again, a wonderful home.

Breathtaking Views in central location!!

Wow is the first word that comes to mind when you reach the top of the stairs!! The pictures simply don't do the property justice. The unobstructed views of downtown San Diego and the airport are the reason to book this condo. The condo is very spacious with plenty of room to enjoy. There were plenty of towels, the kitchen was well-appointed, and the check in process was extremely easy. Some additional benefits that aren't in the listing is that you get full use of the garage, there is a foosball table, and a dart board! Also, the master bathroom has a Japanese toilet (IYKYK)!!! We especially appreciated the oversized plush blankets for use on the deck withe the gas fire feature going or on the couch. You can even see the nightly fireworks from SeaWorld. It was truly a fantastic experience and superb property!

Last Minute Getaway

Booking was very easy. We previously had a friends home confirmed but due to a gas leak we had to cancel. We scrambled and booked this very nice home. The purpose for our trip was to relax, enjoy nice views and cook all meals at home which is what we planned to do at our friends home down the street. The only thing I had trouble with was cooking steaks in the kitchen, there is not an exhaust hood so the smoke was everywhere. A grill would be appropriate and very appreciated since the downstairs renter was smoking his turkey with his rotisserie cooker but it didn’t bother us. The second evening I used the oven which didn’t create any smoke. Views were great, and the neighborhood is nice and quiet and we loved the jacuzzi which fit the 3 of us. Overall great place and Daniel was very accommodating. Since check out was at 10am and we requested via text message 11am Daniel was quick to respond with a Yes!

This upstairs duplex was beautifully remodeled and it’s in a great location with spectacular views of the airport, harbor and the San Diego skyline. If you are sensitive to noise bring earplugs as the planes landing and taking off are loud. We weren’t bothered too much though :) We would definitely stay there again.
