Mid-Century Modern Estate. Dramatic Canyon Views w/ Pool & Spa

Mid-Century Modern Home with Stunning Canyon Views (Sleeps 16).

Family Vacations/Corporate Retreats-- This is a peaceful, fun estate to gather for vacations & retreats. NO WEDDINGS OR PARTIES! (Rates start at $980 per night and can go to $1,535 in high season/holidays) The calendar is not updated publicly for security reasons. This mid-century modern home (1959) was purchased in 2018 and has undergone extensive renovations. Enter the front foyer through the double doors, and the open, loft-style living space will greet you with a great room, a modern kitchen, and a long spacious table. This is the perfect space for entertaining and gathering with your family. The floors are sleek, grey concrete, and the entire back wall of the home features glass windows and French Doors, overlooking a large concrete deck with a built-in sunshade canopy--and pool and canyons below. This is California living, where the indoors and outdoors join one another in beautiful harmony. Walk down the winding stairs to the lower pool deck, where ample pool furniture awaits your fun day in the sun. The property is completely private and very spacious for large gatherings. The dark-bottom pool is tranquil and welcoming for a day of play or relaxation. (solar heated)

The Master Bedroom has French doors that lead onto a private patio (which adjoins the very large outdoor patio to the main living space). This modern space is luxurious and overlooks the pool and beautiful sunrise. You can watch from the bed through all the windows overlooking the mountains/canyons. Relax in the brand-new soaking tub or start your day in the beautiful shower glimmering with Italian tile by Bisazza.

The majority of the bedrooms have their private baths and have been given modern facelifts with different personalities--tranquil turquoise, spunky pink, cityscape, and luscious lavender, all re-designed by our interior stylist.

Overall, the house is warm, fun, simple, sleek, stylish and lovingly cared for. We are located in a residential neighborhood with easy parking on and off the property and close to desirable beaches and tourist destinations. Because of our lovely climate and gentle breezes off the ocean & canyon, the home does not have A/C but rather a "whole house fan" that can be utilized if the house does get warm. PARTIES ARE NOT PERMITTED; IF SEEKING A PARTY OR EVENT SPACE, YOU MUST LOOK ELSEWHERE. We are gracious owners with experience managing properties from very small studios to ultra-luxurious properties valued at over $7 million. This listing is for a home that we lovingly share with guests worldwide, and we hope you will choose La Jolla and our home for your San Diego adventure.

Great location, nice property
The house is very spacious and the outdoor areas in the front and back are perfect. There is easy street parking as well if there are several cars in your group. A few things that we didn't love were the beds, none of them were very comfortable and a few of them were very creaky/loud. There were 14 of us and we needed an extra bed, they did have two blow up mattresses but no air pump. They also only left 3 dishwasher pods and 3 laundry detergent pods. That is usually enough for one family, but for a house this large that hosts that many people we ran through those in 2 days and had to go purchase more. Also, there was a very loud dog that would bark downstairs often and sometimes in the middle of the night. Overall our stay in this gorgeous home was nice and was the great space for three families to vacation at once.

We loved getting together for a reunion with a few friends. The house has plenty of room and the back yard, pool and spa are the best part. We couldn’t have been happier to be together here and enjoy the proximity to beaches, hiking and San Diego. Parking was also easy.

Family Vacation
The property is in a great location. Easy access to the beach in La Jolla. The pool and outside area are even better than the pictures. The inside of the house is spacious. The open kitchen was great for family gatherings. The outside grill does not match the home and could use an update. Overall the house is great. Would highly recommend for a large group.

Great location and beautiful space but a few challenges
We very much enjoyed our stay here. There were ample bedrooms to accommodate our family of 14! We could not understand, however, why the master suite bed was raised almost five feet off the floor!! We, the parents (grandparents in our 70's) were assigned to the master suite. I am quite tall but had to do a lot of maneuvering to get on the bed!! If you're going to have a bed like this you need to have sturdy steps to get on the bed! We needed an extra pack and play but borrowed that from friends in the area. The description of the home said there was a gas grill. We hired a chef for an evening and when he was going out to grill, there was no propane tank!! So our son quickly went to a store and bought a filled tank. ($67) The host did bring one later but we had already attached the new one so couldn't return it. Still waiting for a refund. The showers were fine with good hot water but the kitchen sink had very lukewarm water. We could not get it hot. Also, the wifi in the house was mediocre at best so most of us resorted to cell service. Most of the house was well-cleaned when we arrived although one DIL said her bathroom was not cleaned thoroughly.(toilet was grimy with hair!) We still really enjoyed our stay here. The location is super convenient to all the SD attractions.

Great house for our group
Our family visited San Diego for a family wedding and the house was perfect. All the bedrooms were comfortable. Loved all the bathrooms. Had plenty of amenities and toiletries to get through the visit. The property is beautiful. Pool and hot tub were a hit and nice areas outside to relax and enjoy the wonderful weather. Communication was great. Had a couple minor issues and both were addressed in a timely manner.

Great property with a ton of space for all of our party (10 ladies there for the National USTA Tournament). Large community areas (kitchen and family room) were great for gathering on our down time. Also, very close to downtown area with great restaurants!

No shortage of bedrooom here! Lots of privacy and room for larger parties to still have personal space. There was a lot of communication and house rules to read, but nothing too complicated. Cleanliness of the house and pool were great to walk into! Recommend staying here

Family reunion in La Jolla
Very spacious house with enough bedrooms and bathrooms for our group of 13. The house is a bit dated but functional. The bed linens and towels were of poor quality but the beds were comfy. The TVs did not work when we arrived and it took 3 days for a technician to arrive. The views were amazing and the garden and pool well maintained. The pool was cold, but the kids had fun anyway. Communication with the host was very slow.

Overall a lovely stay. Some details that could be improved: more than 4 dishwasher pellets for a four day stay with 12 adults and one infant. Trash and recycling was full on arrival which made it difficult to dispose of trash and recycling we created. Setting and view of valley was amazing. Our family had a great time. Thank you!

Exceeded all expectations
The house was absolutely stunning and the pictures online failed to do the home justice. Our group was especially pleased with the outdoor areas as we spent most of our time outside. We had a chef come over one night and make us food. The kitchen was perfect for us being able to have a great meal while not getting in the way of the catering folks in the kitchen itself.

Great Property
The exterior of the property was beautiful. Cool weather prevented using the pool, but the hot tub was very nice. The interior was comfortable and functional. There were some small maintenance things that could be accomplished to make things better. One of the water heaters was off when we arrived, but maintenance fixed it the next day.

Perfect for a large family group.
Beautiful spacious house, just as advertised. Pool and hot tub are fantastic. The area has so much to do. After prompt responsiveness early in the week from management, there seems to have been a coverage problem in the office when we had a problem with the laundry. We couldn’t reach anyone for a couple of days. I’m sure the management will avoid that problem in the future — they were apologetic.

Great for 3 Generation Family Vacation
This was perfect for the 5 grandchildren, ages 2-9, 8 adults and 2 grandparents. Lots of space to run around inside and out, space to get away and to work, huge kitchen and outdoor areas with lots of seating, and a well-maintained pool and hot tub. The pool temperature was perfect in late July. This is close to everything we wanted to see, with easy parking for our 4 vehicles.
