The Space
Panoramic ocean views steal the show at this private, original adobe retreat — a classic Hacienda-style home rich in charm and attention to detail. Nestled atop the foothills of Vista in San Diego’s North County, this secluded estate was originally built in 1926 and sits on 1.45 acres.
The property’s layout reflects authentic Hacienda design: the central kitchen, dining and living areas form the heart of the home, while the bedrooms are housed in separate wings/structures for privacy and quiet. Spanning over 3,000 sq. ft., the main house is composed of three connected structures joined by a covered loggia, creating distinct living and sleeping zones ideal for larger groups.

Three king bedrooms (each in its own private wing)
Office with a double trundle bed
Four bathrooms throughout the property
Interior Character & Amenities
Original Spanish tiles, exposed wood beams, solid wood doors, and brickwork framing the great room fireplace
Expansive kitchen with two ovens, side-by-side refrigerator, and a dedicated indoor dining area
Veranda off the main living room for additional alfresco dining
Outdoor & Recreation
Private gated, palm-lined driveway leading to a grand fountain inspired by Bethesda Fountain
Resort-style outdoor spaces: full outdoor kitchen, multiple dining areas, large BBQ, waterfall flowing through three soaking pools into a tropical saline pool
38-foot waterslide for added fun
Game room with pool table, darts, 75" TV, and direct access to a whirlpool tub just outside
Lush landscaping and an orchard of citrus and fruit trees
Unobstructed west-facing views with Catalina and San Clemente Islands visible on clear days

We had a great family vacation staying at Vista Retreat. The property and house if amazing. My teens loved the pool, hot tub, pool table, & dart board. Beautiful views, privacy, and easy access to San Diego.
Visting for GA Nationals

We had a group of Moms and daughters all staying for soccer in Oceanside. The girl's enjoyed all the amenities and separate spaces the property has to offer. We especially loved being able to pick fresh fruit of the trees. This Vista home is not far from beach and soccer complex. The separate rooms and entrances were perfect for our mom and daughter sets. Loved staying here, so much character in the entire property and fabulously maintained.
Perfect House Great Memories

This house is so wonderful and full of additional surprises like the Citrus Orchard (Fresh Squeezed OJ and more every day). It was hard to leave after 5 nights of fabulous sunsets and 6 days of "hanging out" by the pool area. We will be back!
A Dream Place to Stay
by Kim
5/5
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 ba
Wonderful, unique resort escape
by Kim
5/5
This home is amazing! Perfect for adults who need some private space with incredible communal areas. The pool level with a full kitchen, cabana, bar, ample seating and slide were the highlight of our stay! Comfortable beds, large and very well equipped kitchen, fruit trees (we picked our own lemons for lemonade) and room to spread out! The home is spread out across the spacious property With steps to get to the pool level, and more to get to the game room and jacuzzi, so it may not be ideal for very small
Awesome Vacation Retreat
by KEVIN
5/5
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 n
Outstanding Property--Weak Management Team
by Kevin
5/5
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
Awesome Home/Poor Customer Service
by Kevin
5/5
Great property for enjoying family time. Multi levels with the highlight being the resort like pool level. Everything you need to enjoy this property is on this level. Go up in the morning and stay until bedtime.
We paid to have the pool heated for seven days. Only heated for five. The Vacasa team offered continuous apologies but no results. Extremely poor customer service/communication. Property is great Management company not so much.
Hacienda in heaven!!
by John Galen
5/5
After realizing you're staying in a historic Spanish hacienda on one level, you walk up the garden terraced stairs to a tropical rock pool oasis with stunning views - hence the name "Vista"!! Then moving up to a third level with even more fun in the well equipped game room and giant jacuzzi. This is a property you won't want to leave, but rather hope it goes on the market so you can buy it (hint hint...). I had my most memorable birthday ever as I crossed over into 50 :/ We will be back hopefully next ye

Property was a perfect get away for our family. Lots of space and a perfect location. Close to the beach and San Diego. Plus property included a two fully stocked kitchens, a fruit orchard, a rose garden and a fish pond. So relaxing!! Looking forward to retuning!

by Angelo

This house is lovely and completely zen. The fresh air and sun lit pool were perfect for our family. The pool was amazing, the view from the pool breathtaking. The kids loved the game room, spent most of their time there or the pool. The living room was cozy and both kitchens were stocked, had everything you would need. Each room had their own bed and bath, each comfortable and with good space. The communication from the property management is so appreciated. Thank you for being so welcoming. We absolutely
Perfection

I spent a long weekend here with 4 of my girlfriends. The house is huge, extremely clean, and has the most amazing pool! All of the amenities you can imagine plus several separate suites. There's also a wonderful view, we enjoyed watching the sunset here every night.
I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing getaway. You'll never want to leave!
Beautiful home, wonderful time, a few notable issues
by Amber
5/5
The house is very clean and well-stocked. The pool is gorgeous, warm (we paid for heating), and the waterslide is super fast! Checkin and checkout were super easy. The AC in the bedrooms works great and is whisper quiet. There's a kitchen/BBQ right next to the pool that served as our main cooking/bar area. Would easily consider visiting again!
Minor issues:
- The neighbor's roosters are back (an earlier review complained about this and Vacasa said they had been removed). The chicke
