Good to know

High above San Diego, where the city feels quieter and the views stretch all the way to the ocean on a clear day, this Mt. Helix retreat is designed for unforgettable family time. From the moment you arrive, life slows down. Mornings begin with coffee and sweeping views. Afternoons turn playful and sun-soaked. Evenings glow with firelight, warm water, and long conversations under the stars. The home offers two distinct outdoor spaces, each intentionally designed for a different kind of experience. The courtyard is the social heart of the home. Here you’ll find the refreshing dipping pool—perfect for cooling off on hot summer days—alongside the outdoor kitchen and dining area. Gather for meals, grill together, and wind down by the outdoor fireplace as the sky changes color. It’s an inviting, central space made for togetherness. The backyard is all about relaxing and taking in the view. Sink into the hot tub once the sun goes down or during cooler winter nights, sway in the hammock, or challenge each other to a game of cornhole. End the night around the view fire pit, watching the lights of San Diego sparkle below. Inside, the garage has been transformed into a full game room that’s a hit with both kids and adults. Settle in for movie nights with a projector and cozy seating (complete with a popcorn machine), test your skills with axe throwing, or rotate between mini pool, air hockey, and ping pong on the convertible game table. Board games round out the fun for rainy days or late-night laughs. The home is thoughtfully laid out to balance shared moments with privacy—ideal for families and multi-generational stays. Sleeping arrangements: Bedroom 1: King bed, twin pull-out sofa, crib tucked into the walk-in closet area, and private ensuite bathroom Bedroom 2: Queen bed with a full-size loft bed—perfect for kids Bedroom 3: King bed with private ensuite bathroom An additional full bathroom with a shower is located just off the kitchen and offers direct outdoor access, making it the perfect pool bath. Though the home feels private and tucked away at the top of Mt. Helix, you’re less than five minutes from the freeway—making it easy to reach beaches, attractions, and everything San Diego has to offer. This home was made for family fun—sunny days, cozy nights, and memories that last long after checkout.

We loved this home! It really makes for a great vacation. Great view. The area is beyond ideal and the hosts were very responsive. Even if you come and don’t have many plans around town, you will be able to entertain yourself and enjoy vacation just by staying in the house. We came with younger kids and it was a great stay for them as well.
