Remarkable, panoramic ocean views catch the eye from this private, original adobe, four-bedroom paradise rich with attention to detail. This Spanish adobe is nestled away atop the foothills of Vista in San Diego's North County. Winding up a long private gated driveway, one finds a secluded Spanish estate on 1.45 acres.

The home, originally built in 1928, exudes charm with its original Spanish tiles, brickwork around the fireplace in the great room, exposed wood beams, and solid wood doors. Authentic California living gives one a view of a unique, private home surrounded by lush landscaping, including an orchard with many fruit trees and indoor/outdoor entertaining areas. At over 3,000-square-feet, this hacienda blends the old with the new. The main house comprises three buildings connected with a loggia (covered walkway). There is an expansive full kitchen in the main house with two ovens and a side-by-side refrigerator, as well as a second full kitchen in the pool area. There is a dining area in the main kitchen that seats up to six people, but you can also enjoy eating alfresco on the terrace off the main living room as you take in the views. There are also two dining areas in the pool area.

The elevated entertainment area features a large BBQ area, a waterfall that cascades through three pools into a tropical saline pool, and a 38-foot water slide. The game room has a pool table, darts, and a 75' TV with a whirlpool tub just outside. With unobstructed westerly views, you can see both Catalina and San Clemente Islands on clear days. It truly feels like you are in your own private resort!

Welcome to Vista, a small, charming Southern California town in north San Diego County. Quiet Hours are from 9pm to 9am for this community! It is noted to have some of the best weather in the USA. Downtown Vista is a short three-mile drive west, where you will find endless dining options for all tastes. But many restaurants will deliver too. Vista is gaining recognition for its large number of microbreweries that you can enjoy. The Moonlight Amphitheatre, two miles away, offers theatergoers a series of four Broadway-style musicals every summer. Four miles away is The Wave Waterpark, which boasts a lazy river, the adrenaline-pumping Slide Tower, the Flow Rider, and a large competition pool for laps. In less than 30 minutes, you can be at the beaches of Oceanside, Carlsbad, or Encinitas. In the other direction, you can be at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park - it's a short 22-mile drive!

This home was absolutely amazing!

Great place for families to gather. Lots of space for mingling. Multiple areas to get together for meals and relaxation. Great pool area with multiple full bathrooms and full kitchen. It's like staying in your own private resort. We have stayed here multiple times; our ongoing complaint is with the VACASA organization. Difficult to connect with the local team. Pre arrival preparation is not up to standard. Pool was filthy, no one came out to clean it. Bugs were everywhere, had housekeeping back out to clean up just about every room and walkway. Took a few hours of cleaning, should have been done prior to arrival. We love this property just wish Vacasa did a better job of taking care of the property.

My family LOVED our stay at Vista Retreat! The views when we arrived were absolutely breathtaking, and we all felt like kids in a candy store exploring the property and all it had to offer. The pool and hot tub area with its own bathrooms, kitchen, and bar were so luxurious we felt like we were in some kind of a movie! The view at sunset is simply sublime, with stunning views of the mountains and San Diego. The bedrooms are all comfortable, clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, and each has its own bathroom as a lovely suite. We were so thrilled to be able to pick fruit in the morning and make our own fresh juice and breakfast- there were delicious lemons, limes, oranges, figs, apples, pears, avocados, and more! And the home provided absolutely every amenity we needed to relax and just enjoy ourselves. It was such a tranquil and beautiful place to stay, and we cannot wait to return!

We had an outstanding experience at Vista Retreat. It has some many living and eating areas to enjoy. Breakfast on the porch viewing the Pacific Ocean in the distance. Gourmet main Kitchen in the main building. Full kitchen in the pool area. Once you check in you will not want to leave. Pick up your food supplies and staples then sit and relax. One caveat is that there are stairs to the may levels, if you can't deal with the stairs this might not be a place for you. Once you get to the pool level you will not have to go anywhere else for the remainder of the day. Full kitchen multiple bathrooms and ample seating areas to enjoy the amazing views. level. One terrific place to stay.
