Casita de Bernardo by AvantStay | Rancho Bernardo Retreat + Firepit + BBQ | Near Safari Park + Wineries

Casita de Bernardo sits directly on the 14th hole of the Rancho Bernardo Country Club, putting guests right inside one of San Diego's most sought-after private residential communities. With three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and room for up to twelve guests, this bright, open home was built for groups who want space to spread out. Two separate living rooms, a kitchen made for real cooking, a stone patio with its own grill, and a backyard firepit set the stage for the kind of weekend everyone remembers. The main gathering space centers on oversized sofas facing a television, with large windows that frame the lush backyard. A second lounge adds its own seating and TV, giving families, friends, and multi-generational groups the flexibility to come together or settle into separate corners at their own pace. At the heart of the home, the fully equipped kitchen handles everything from casual breakfasts to celebratory dinners. A generous island with bar seating naturally becomes the social hub, and two dedicated dining areas keep things flexible: a round table built for long, lingering conversations, and a second setup that pairs chairs with bench seating for a relaxed, communal feel. Outside, the backyard makes the most of Southern California's year-round sunshine. A stone patio, dedicated grilling station, and outdoor prep area turn al fresco dining into the default, while the firepit becomes the natural gathering spot once the sun goes down. Sleeping arrangements are straightforward and comfortable. Three bedrooms include a king and two queens, and three sleeper sofas across the living areas accommodate up to six additional guests, bringing the home's total capacity to twelve. Two full bathrooms and a dedicated laundry room with washer and dryer round out the essentials for longer stays. Step beyond the fairway and the surrounding area delivers an easy blend of recreation and refined dining. The Rancho Bernardo Inn anchors the neighborhood with its championship golf course, full-service spa, and two standout restaurants: AVANT, the Inn's Forbes Four-Star signature dining room, and Veranda, known for Mediterranean-inspired plates and sweeping golf course views. There's plenty to fill the rest of a weekend, too. Spend an unforgettable day at the world-renowned San Diego Zoo Safari Park, explore the historic grounds at Old Poway Park, or set out on the scenic trails and open spaces that surround the community. From family vacations and wedding weekends to longer Southern California retreats, Casita de Bernardo offers a welcoming, well-located home base in one of San Diego's most desirable residential settings.
