Incredible view and space for everyone!

We had such a wonderful stay at the Hilltop Hacienda! The views are spectacular! There were 9 adults in our group and there was more than enough space for us all to spread out and have our own private bedrooms/retreats. The owner was very responsive via text, everything was clean and the kitchens were well stocked with most everything we needed. It was fun to watch the planes take off and land. There is noise from the airplanes from 6am to 10pm, but the view outweighs that minor inconvenience. Thank you for a great stay!

Amazing Property

The house was amazing. From the views, amenities, cleanliness and accessibility. We were traveling with elderly grandparents and the 1st floor apartment was perfect. The second floor was a great space and we were pleasantly surprised to find a dart board and foosball table. The house was fully stocked with kitchen appliances, cookware and dishes. The pantry was stocked with a wide variety of spices and other essentials. We also appreciated the welcome snacks, San Pelligrino and bottle of sparkling wine to welcome us. Highly recommend this property and would gladly stay there again if we come back to San Diego.

Great Place

Loved this house for our girls' trip! It's beautiful, spacious, and well-maintained. My only dislike was the loud airplane noise from the nearby airport, but any house in this area will have that. The noise definitely made it harder to sleep, and woke us up around 6-6:30am when planes start taking off for the day. But once again that comes with the territory when staying in this area. Otherwise, the house was perfect and a great value compared to other rentals in San Diego!

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

The best bit about this property is its location and incredible views. We sat and watched the harbor for hours. We ubered everywhere and found great restaurants nearby. Reading others reviews I think we just had a rough deal with our time there. The patio was not put together, the Sun shade was frayed through and on the floor. The explanation was that it had been windy. Maybe the property manager, knowing that should have swung by to check on everything before we got there. The hot tub was not clean, there was a layer of dust on the kitchen island and one of the doors hinges was broken so that it did not close properly allowing quite a bit of air traffic noise in. For the price and being marketed as a “luxury” rental we just expected something a little more high end. Maybe a shade/screen by the hot tub to screen from the neighbors would be good.

Wonderful stay for a conference

We stayed here as a group instead of reserving individual hotel rooms. Was cheaper and so much nicer. The view is incredible and the property is very well maintained. The upstairs unit is certainly nicer than downstairs but we had no complaints about anything. We Uber'd everyday to the conference center and the overall cost was still lower. Plus, it was easy to have groceries delivered and have food available whenever we needed it. Would definitely recommend.

This property was a huge hit with all four of our adult children and ourselves. GREAT location. GREAT view. Everyone had their own room and declared the beds super comfy.

Rental with an Airport View

I don’t remember the Urban Airport location being mentioned but it would be good to know about in advance. I still give the property 5 stars because it is a great house, very well equipped and very well managed! While watching the planes take off and land provided endless entertainment it can be quite loud at around 6:15 AM when flights get going!

`Fabulous

What a wonderful place for me and my extended family to stay during my son's wedding! We rented both the top and bottom unit and had plenty of room for the 10 of us. The views of the city lights and airplanes landing were mesmerizing. The place was well-equipped in both kitchens and there were plenty of extras (towels, laundry soap, etc.) It was nice to have access to the garage. However, while it claims to have 5 parking spaces (2 in the garage and 3 in the driveway), due to the slope, it was more practical to park 3 cars (one in the garage and 2 in the driveway). That being said, if needed, the side street seemed to have extra parking available. If we every need to return with a large number of people, I would definitely stay here again.
