30% Discount for Remaining January Weeks--Last Minute Booking

Welcome to Villa Mar Vista's New POOL and 12-Person JACUZZI--Unparalled Among Oceanfront Homes

Relax in spacious comfort with stunning white water ocean views from your living room. Villa Mar Vista encompasses over 3600 square feet of living space in 5 bedrooms (each bedroom has either a
king, a queen or two twins), a den/6th bedroom (queen futon sofa), living room (queen sofa bed with
innerspring mattress). We even provide you with porta-cribs, highchairs and aerobeds for the kids.

You will have 22 bed spaces for your family group, reunion or corporate retreat. The huge backyard
has a stainless steel BBQ Grill and a brand new aluminum Kettler Ping-Pong table. There are also 5
bogey boards, 6 bicycles, sporting goods, and numerous board games and puzzles. The oceanfront home
sits on an estate-sized lot measuring approximately 70 feet wide by 180 feet deep. The fenced and
gated back yard is approximately 5000 square feet and the large grassy front yard is great for
playing soccer with the kids. There is even a 24-foot by 30-foot sports pad in the backyard where
the ping-pong table is set up along with additional seating and a large above-ground Jacuzzi Spa
with ocean views.


Sunset Cliffs Nature Park at Your Door

Right outside your front door lies the 2-mile long oceanfront Sunset Cliffs Nature Park. Come enjoy
the unspoiled beauty of Sunset Cliffs where joggers, walkers, hikers and bicyclists all enjoy the
most unspoiled urban coastline in California. People in this neighborhood of spacious multi-million
dollar homes share a friendly small town greeting as they pass one another to visit the beach,
surf, boogeyboard or just to take a leisurely walk along the ocean. Directly west of Villa Mar Vista
are tidepools that the kids can explore.

There are 4 or 5 sandy cove beaches nestled among the bluffs and the closest small cove beach (50
feet wide by 20 feet deep) is two blocks north of the house away and a large cove beach (approx. 400
feet wide by 50 feet deep) is two blocks south. For the closest beach with lifeguard towers you can
take the kids to nearby Ocean Beach that stretches from the Ocean Beach pier (north of Villa
Mar Vista) to the Mission Bay channel. This life guarded beach is totally flat with no bluffs and is
over 1/2 mile long by 200 feet wide--it is a huge beach.

Plenty of Room For All

Villa Mar Vista is a sprawling Ranch Style home with an "L- shaped" configuration. The dining room,
living room and one of the master bedrooms all facing (west) with gorgeous ocean views.

Spread out among 5 bedrooms, a den, and living room--with 5 of these 7 rooms having their own
separate entrances for big groups to enjoy. Most of the private entrances open through sliding
glass doors to a generous private deck or patio. Large family reunion and corporate retreat groups
will enjoy the new 60-inch Plasma HDTV with Hi-Def Cable Box and 200 channels. Four of the five
bedrooms have Cable TV as well (with 3 of those 4 TVs 32 inches plus).

The den opens onto the patio with outdoor seating for 30, and the huge fenced and gated yard. The
living room and dining room are both spacious for large groups and afford unparalleled views of the
Pacific Ocean.

San Diego Oceanfront Reunion

Familia (usa)
Review submitted: January 16, 2011   Date of arrival: December 12, 2010

We enjoyed our stay at Villa Mar Vista very much. We held a family reunion
there to celebrate our mother's 80th birthday, and the whole time was
relaxed and fun.

Of course the location right above the ocean was marvelous. We were able
to walk around and explore, or just sit in the living room and enjoy the view.
It reminded me of being on a cruise ship. The aunts loved watching the sunset while soaking in the jacuzzi spa!

One important factor in making our visit so comfortable were the amenities
of the home. We had plenty of towels and extra bedding, as well as
everything we could need as far as kitchen appliances, utensils and serving
dishes. There was lots of space to stow our luggage without being in our way. The layout made it conducive to lots of socializing with the family - some in the living room or kitchen, others at the patio tables, and some on the chaises around the pool and jacuzzi. We had three toddlers with us, who were in their glory running around the huge park-like fenced back yard. The home even had high chairs, booster chairs, portacribs and toys for them!
Trips to Sea World and the Zoo and down to the laid back town of OB (Ocean Beach) were fun and easy. We bought fresh produce and flowers at the Farmers Market in OB which is on all year round we heard.
We have stayed with this owner before and everything was great as usual.

Fairytale Weekend

brock (colorado springs, colorado)
Review submitted: September 27, 2010   Date of arrival: July 24, 2010

Words fall short of describing the experience my girlfriend and i shared at Villa Mar Vista. This property is unbelievable. The home is huge, and well equipped, including a wood-burning fireplace in the living room that also has picture windows of Sunset Cliffs nearby, then the ocean, then space beyond the horizon, gourmet-style kitchen, and two large dining tables. Sunsets there are that of masterpieces, and are visible from either the front or back yard. as well as the ocean and sunset views the back yard has full privacy fencing and a swimming pool that is heated, at least in part, i think, by a hot tub that flows into it during certain hours of the day. Michele and I leased the property as a weekend to celebrate our reconnection in life after thirty years apart. We were sweethearts in high school who reconnected on facebook and decided to find out if any cinders remained from our what was a smoldering-hot romance as teenagers back in 1980. Turns out is is, if you're curious! Ha! We intend to celebrate many happy occasions at Villa Mar Vista, perhaps as soon as Thanksgiving, as a honeymoon ;-) (who knows, it could happen!). My thanks to all involved, especially to Jan and Doug, who together made sure that Chely and I were completely, fully, and totally happy. Thank you so much you guys. We will definitely see you again! It seems we have moved from old flames to committed, and i see engaged and married on that horizon i stared during what has to be one of the best three days of my life.

Great Home for ages 4 mos. to 90 years

Val (Washington, DC)
Review submitted: September 22, 2010   Date of arrival: August 22, 2010

We had a great time in San Diego, in part because of the location and house we rented. This rental is very comfortable for families. I highly recommend it. It was our home away from home. We were about 15 ppl--ranging in age from 4 months to 90 yrs old--and found it suiting all of our needs. Comfy carpets, large living room, books/games/movies, all kept us entertained for down times. The view is simply amazing. The backyard is perfect. A fenced in pool with a gradual entrance made it safe and comfortable for our little toddlers. Big grassy area and ping pong table was also great for playing. Overall, this place was perfect for our family. Not too fancy, and not too modern---a house built for comfort not speed.
