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.

Excellent

Had an amazing stay and the view was mesmerizing. The place was immaculate and quite comfortable. The parking driveway was too much of a downward slope for our vehicle but there was ample street parking. That small thing pales in comparison to the great experience we had. In addition, Daniel, the host, was very responsive and attentive. He also extended the olive branch when we inadvertently left our keys by mailing them out to us at no extra cost. Would definitely stay there again and recommend!

Fantastic place!

We had an amazing time with our family staying at this home. We cooked Easter dinner and several other meals and had everything we needed. The view is spectacular and we enjoyed watching the planes and boats coming and going. We found the house to be very clean and outfitted with everything we could possibly need. We would love to stay again in the future.
