Elegant hacienda home with elevated entertainment area & private pool

North County Oasis

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Remarkable, panoramic ocean views catch the eye from this private, original adobe, four-bedroom paradise rich with attention to detail. This Spanish adobe is nestled away atop the foothills of Vista in San Diego's North County. Winding up a long private gated driveway, one finds a secluded Spanish estate on 1.45 acres.

The home, originally built in 1928, exudes charm with its original Spanish tiles, brickwork around the fireplace in the great room, exposed wood beams, and solid wood doors. Authentic California living gives one a view of a unique, private home surrounded by lush landscaping, including an orchard with many fruit trees and indoor/outdoor entertaining areas. At over 3,000-square-feet, this hacienda blends the old with the new. The main house comprises three buildings connected with a loggia (covered walkway). There is an expansive full kitchen in the main house with two ovens and a side-by-side refrigerator, as well as a second full kitchen in the pool area. There is a dining area in the main kitchen that seats up to six people, but you can also enjoy eating alfresco on the terrace off the main living room as you take in the views. There are also two dining areas in the pool area.

The elevated entertainment area features a large BBQ area, a waterfall that cascades through three pools into a tropical saline pool, and a 38-foot water slide. The game room has a pool table, darts, and a 75" TV with a whirlpool tub just outside. With unobstructed westerly views, you can see both Catalina and San Clemente Islands on clear days. It truly feels like you are in your own private resort!

Welcome to Vista, a small, charming Southern California town in north San Diego County. Quiet Hours are from 9pm to 9am for this community! It is noted to have some of the best weather in the USA. Downtown Vista is a short three-mile drive west, where you will find endless dining options for all tastes. But many restaurants will deliver too. Vista is gaining recognition for its large number of microbreweries that you can enjoy. The Moonlight Amphitheatre, two miles away, offers theatergoers a series of four Broadway-style musicals every summer. Four miles away is The Wave Waterpark, which boasts a lazy river, the adrenaline-pumping Slide Tower, the Flow Rider, and a large competition pool for laps. In less than 30 minutes, you can be at the beaches of Oceanside, Carlsbad, or Encinitas. In the other direction, you can be at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park - it's a short 22-mile drive!

Paradise on a hill

This was an amazing experience! We enjoyed every moment. Swimming, sliding, picking fruit and juicing, the pool table, gazing out at the gorgeous views. We loved it!! Something to note for people traveling with children. All of the bedrooms are accessed outside. There is a main living area with kitchen, dining room and living room. Covered walkways lead to the bedroom/bathroom combos, but they are not accessible from the main house. This was fine for us because our children enjoyed the set up but it would not have worked when they were younger. There is one bedroom that has a guest bed attached so parents could stay with smaller children in there. The pool area is paradise, i could stay there for days never wanting a thing. Both kitchens are fully stocked. One tip would be having more beach towels. There were 6 for us which was enough but a larger party would want more. Small critique.

Completely mismanaged by VACASA!

List of issues: Vacasa customer service was contacted immediately when we arrived & the following morning. No local staff reached out to us until the 4th day of our 6 day vacation. ***Refrigerator & freezer in kitchen doesn’t work. Vacasa local Mgr admitted they knew about the fridge and decided to wait until we left to replace it. Never letting us know or giving us the option. Complete irresponsible!!! **A/C in master bedroom leaked water & didn’t cool. 80+ degrees in our room entire stay. ***chicken farm directly below master bedroom, roosters will wake you up at 4-5am every morning. * landscape crew shows up at 6am on Tuesday, spraying windows w/ water and mowing & edging right out side each bedroom. * layout not suitable fir smaller children (under 12 yrs of age). Plan on them sleeping with you. 3rd bedroom inns in basement garage and kids will have to exit into driveway or thru garage and up a dark flight of basement stairs if they need to get to parents. *Clogged drain & no running hot water (left knob downer work) in south bedroom bathroom. Shower head is also very corroded & gross ***other than the sheets, the house was filthy dusty. Con webs everywhere. Looks like nobody has dusted. Only changed sheets s a and left. * faucet handle on kitchen sink is falling off * door handle to south living Room entrance fell off when we first entered. Many others very loose. *A/C in north bedroom doesn’t get cold. Can come on but won’t cool room like other A/C’s. * 4th jet on hot tub doesn’t work. Hot tub water was below jet level & filthy when we arrived. I had to clean hair, debris & layers of dirt then as water. We still wouldn’t use it until pool guy came to test chlorine & clean more thoroughly. * We also had to clean all the debris and left toys out of pool. It was finally cleaned on Wednesday but was still filthy upon our arrival. * pool umbrella in the shallow area is noon functional and doesn’t go up and down. Looks like the cord broke and someone tied it back together somehow. Also the end of the umbrella are worn thru and busted out. * on a lesser note…some lights are out on walkway up to the pool & many bushes need to be trimmed back so palm trees aren’t slapping you in face on n main walkways and so you can walk up the stairs to the slide.

You'll never want to leave!

This house is lovely and completely zen. The fresh air and sun lit pool were perfect for our family. The pool was amazing, the view from the pool breathtaking. The kids loved the game room, spent most of their time there or the pool. The living room was cozy and both kitchens were stocked, had everything you would need. Each room had their own bed and bath, each comfortable and with good space. The communication from the property management is so appreciated. Thank you for being so welcoming. We absolutely loved this place and hope to get back real soon!

Beautiful home, wonderful stay!

The house was spectacular! Perfect for vacationing with another family. We all had our own space and congregated in the communal spaces. The two kitchens were amazing- we ate some meals by the pool and some on the veranda. It was like being in Mexico!! Fruit trees were so cool- the apples were sweet, ruby red grapefruits and fresh squeezed OJ for breakfast. Two suggestions for making this the best place ever— the pool could be warmer (it’s solar heated). The weather was low 70s, so wish the pool was a bit warmer. But we still had a blast going down the slide! A broom! We traveled with littles who sometimes miss their mouth when trying to eat. We searched everywhere but could not find a broom or vacuum- so spent a lot of time on our hands and knees picking up scraps. Otherwise, perfect stay and would definitely stay here again!!

Girls trip

We were so excited to rent this property because of the pool, waterfall, and slide for our ladies trip to relax and have an amazing view and fun time with the pool. It was fabulous for the first two days but then the waterfall, slide and all together the pool pump stopped working. I tried contacting management and it was handled very poorly and it did not get fixed. We were mostly upset that no one even came to look at the pool over the 24 hours I had been reaching out. We specifically rented this property for the soul reason of the pool but we were disappointed the third and fourth day it wasn’t working. They offered $20 at first to reimburse us then agreed on $100. With spending $3400 we just didn’t feel that was a justifiable reimbursement since people most likely would rent this property for its pool and amenities. Another part that was not mentioned is the chickens/ roosters that apparently are on the land tight by the house. They woke us up every morning at 4:30 which was not pleasant. Overall it was a nice spot, but wouldn’t go back.
