Stunning New Grand Villa! Amazing Amenities, Best Location Parking HutTub Tub AC

- - - - San Diego Grand Villa - - - -

Unique and luxurious property located next to the Marston Hills Canyon in Hillcrest a couple of blocks from University Avenue, within walking distance of some of San Diego’s finest restaurants, bars, shops, the Zoo, Balboa Park, museums, theatres, Balboa Golf Course and many other attractions.

In a five- to ten-minute drive you can be in downtown San Diego, the airport, Seaport Village, Petco Park (home of the Padres baseball team), the Convention Center, Little Italy, the Embarcadero, Fashion Valley Mall, North Park, Qualcomm Stadium, historic Old Town, the Marina, many of the best restaurants, nightclubs, bars and much more. You can also enjoy Ocean Beach, Liberty Station, San Diego's best breweries, Point Loma, Pacific Beach and Sea World, which are only about fifteen minutes away.

An amazing diversity of restaurants and cuisines are available within walking distance of the area. You can enjoy Japanese, Mexican, American, Thai, Indian, Persian, Greek, Steakhouse, Vietnamese, Chinese, Brazilian, and more. If you plan to stay in, for a relaxing night of grilling or cooking at home, you will find a Ralphs, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s within a couple of blocks. In the morning, you can wake up and enjoy a variety of local coffee shops with tastes of Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico or India, in addition to Starbucks. There is a local 24-hour Rite Aid pharmacy available to you as well.

The property is situated on a cul-de-sac, peaceful, quiet and next to the canyon, but also close to everything. The property was fully renovated recently and the San Diego City Council honored the property with the LION Award for enhancing the appearance of the city.

Parking in San Diego can be a very complicated undertaking. San Diego Grand Villa includes one gated off-street parking spot for you. It can accommodate even the biggest SUV.

San Diego Grand Villa has the best and most luxurious amenities, including two King size beds with Posturepedic mattresses, Egyptian cotton sheets, chef/gourmet kitchen, gas fireplace, outdoor grill, and more. The large closets can easily accommodate all of your clothes as well as your shoes, your souvenirs and shopping bags.

The living room is incredibly comfortable and spacious with two huge sofas. Have breakfast at the granite island and prepare a romantic dinner on the beautiful dining table. Check your email or do a little work at the desk by the window overlooking the garden; connect all your devices to the home Wi-Fi network and check email, plan out your activities or work from your vacation home. After exploring beautiful San Diego, turn on the 52-inch LED TV in the living room right by the fireplace and enjoy one of the 100-plus channels available to you. You can also watch them on the TV in the master bedroom.

The Zen Garden is one of the most relaxing areas of the house: enjoy the exquisite beauty or close your eyes and thrill to the sounds of nature. In beautiful sunny San Diego, nothing is better than barbecuing right by the garden; this area is equipped with a grill, dining table, and more outdoor amenities. Enjoy sitting on the porch with a glass of wine and watching the sunset. The property is enclosed by a beautiful natural stone and redwood wall for your privacy and security.

The entire house is professionally cleaned every time a guest checks out and before arrival. An expert housekeeping team washes and deep cleans everything in the house to provide the best Grand Villa experience.

A bus stop is only a two-minute walk from the house and the trolley station is also minutes away. And a few steps away is an entrance to the canyon and Balboa Park.

One off-street gated parking spot for any vehicle size
Fully equipped kitchen
Central A/C and Heater with independent controls for each area

Perfect for us
This property was perfect! We were traveling with our baby and nanny. The two bedrooms with two bathrooms worked out great. We were so grateful to have a pack and play for our baby to sleep in, as well as a high chair. The house itself is so nice and clean, and the backyard was a great place to hang out. We will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful
It is a beautiful property! Absolutely amazing… it’s worth every penny…only thing I can say because I’am also a business owner this is a expensive stay. So it’s just time to touch up the paint on the walls or a good wall washing also on the front door. Also wash the outdoor couch pillows and purchase a new pillow for the outdoor tub. That’s all! Super minor things but it keeps the integrity of this Beautiful property!! Thank you for amazing stay… JOB WELL DONE.

A Zen Oasis For A Perfect Retreat
We had the privilege of staying at this VRBO property in San Diego for a night, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The house is modern, and has a zen-like tranquility, making it an ideal setting for our 2024 yearly goal planning session. Every corner of the property is thoughtfully designed, offering a peaceful and inspiring atmosphere that fueled our creativity and focus. The amenities provided were top-notch! The serenity coupled with the property's stunning aesthetics helped us significantly with our goal planning session. This place is a hidden gem in the Hillcrest area in San Diego, and is perfect for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat or a productive getaway. We wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area. It's not just a place to stay; it's an experience that enriches and rejuvenates! We will book this again!

Absolutely beautiful spot in a central area of San Diego!
My family stayed at this beautiful rental for 4 days, while we were visiting family who lived in the area. We were celebrating my grandfather's 94th birthday, and with prior approval from Ricardo, we hosted a small group at the house for the birthday dinner. The space worked out incredibly well; the kitchen was huge, and the backyard was amazing to hang out in (the hot tub was great too). Everything was updated so nicely, and it felt like we were staying in the equivalent of an upscale hotel, but with so much more space. (Also those rainforest showers were so relaxing.) We enjoyed a lot of takeout from nearby restaurants (amazing Afghan at Khyber Pass Zarparan Restaurant), and everywhere we went was a 10 min uber ride. And we loved being so close to Balboa Park and the zoo (just a 25 min walk or a 5 min uber). Highly recommend to families, and we will definitely return when we visit San Diego again. Thanks Ricardo for being incredibly responsive!

Fantastic House and Location
This property is gem. Beautifully articulated, clean, roomie, private with a great private yard. A definite repeat. The only drawback which was in the original listing buried a bit that I missed was the really visitor policy which is ‘no visitors at any time for any reason.’ Given how great the house was I was hoping to have lunch on the deck with sister, brother in law and nephew who were in town. It was disappointing I was unable to have a small number of family guests midday over the Christmas holiday. Something to be mindful of when renting. Other than that this spot it a great place to call home for a few days.
