Very nice
We rented this house for our family so we could all be together for my son’s wedding. It is very spacious and clean. Location was easy to get to and close to shopping, ocean and all the things we wanted to do. We would stay there again if we had a big group again.

Paradise Palms Retreat was the perfect location for our large family to stay! The property is spacious and comfortable. The lush gardens surrounding the house provide privacy and make the home truly feel like a retreat. Dylan was a delight to work with and accommodated us on every level.

Perfect stay for family getaway!
Stayed at this location for Thanksgiving with a large family (14) with members of all ages, from infant to seniors! The house was clean, well stocked and great for families! I appreciated having a pack and play onsite as well as a bathtub for baby - super thoughtful! Beds were soft and comfortable and there was plenty of space for a large party to spread out and feel at home. The amenities were modern and we were able to cook a large Thanksgiving feast with ease. Dylan checked in with us often and was a great host: responsive, communicative, and informative. We will definitely book again in the future and recommend to others!

Wedding Week
The home is located on a hill with a great view and has lots of room. I would ask that they disclose that one of the rooms does not have access to a bathroom unless they go outside. A digital lock on the kitchen door would have been helpful. Overall the stay was very nice. The wedding prep (Hair and Make up) went seamless. We did have a few glitches with the dryer, but Dylan took care of these very quickly.

Wedding Weekend Celebration
The property suited our large family, 14 in all. The kitchen/dining area provided a place for us to gather for morning coffee and evening games/cocktails. Patio was nice and the foliage lush. We enjoyed the rooster waking us each morning and exploring/getting lost while we made our way around the property which is close to lots of shopping, restaurants and the freeway. Thanks Dylan, for accommodating our group. Your prompt responses to our questions/requests were appreciated.

About the host

Hosted by Dylan Walsh

Host profile image
Hello there,

I'm Dylan, and I've been fortunate to call San Diego my home for the past 28 years, with a few delightful detours along the way.

Embracing diversity and forging connections with people from all walks of life has been a personal passion. It's this very love for cultural exchange that led me to become a full-time Airbnb host. I'm thrilled to open my space to fellow travelers and offer a warm, welcoming abode.

My heart finds solace in the waters, and I'm an avid enthusiast of water sports – paddle boarding, snorkeling, and surfing are my kind of adventure. Travel is not just a word; it's a way of life. With explorations spanning the United States and twenty other countries, my soul is forever touched by the beauty of our world.

Anticipation is mutual as I look forward to connecting with you. My aim is to ensure your stay is not only comfortable but etched with joyful memories. Let my team or me know if you have any inquiries – we're here to make your experience unforgettable.

Warmest wishes,

Dylan

What makes this property unique

Devotion knows no bounds when it comes to perfecting our property for our remarkable guests.

Our journey began in 2019 when we welcomed this exquisite home into our care, and since then, we've poured thousands of hours into crafting a haven that exceeds expectations.

Witness the evolution: a game room, a media room, and an intricately designed custom outdoor lighting project that beautifully illuminates the majesty of 30 Palm Trees and the unique landscaping that has been nurtured and refined through dedication and years of growth.

We're thrilled, truly thrilled, for you to embrace the sheer splendor that Paradise Palms Retreat unfolds. Your experience is a testament to our commitment to crafting a stay beyond compare.

With utmost excitement,

Dylan
