We were a group of six friends, and this house was perfect for us…read more The layout was fantastic, with plenty of room for everyone, comfortable beds, and bathrooms--so we never felt crowded. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped, and we really appreciated all the thoughtful amenities throughout the house. They supply games and beach accessories which was such a nice touch and made enjoying San Diego even easier. The location was fantastic and made it so convenient to get around and enjoy everything we wanted to do. The only thing to be aware of is that the house is close to the freeway, so there is some traffic noise. Honestly, though, the wonderful layout, great location, comfortable space, and all the extras more than made up for it. We had such a fun, relaxing stay and would definitely come back. It truly felt like a great home base for our time in San Diego, and we would happily recommend it to friends! TF The living room is large and well appointed with enough sofas and chairs to comfortably seat six or more people so it makes for a wonderful spot to socialize. The sunroom in the front of my house was a lovely place to sleep--it didn't get too sunny (although who doesn't want to enjoy the San Diego sun??), the beds were comfortable, and we had our own A/C and *two* fans (which was great as I run hot!)! LW The house felt like a home for the duration of our stay. Rooms are very spacious with all kinds of "special" touches. The kitchen accommodates a full house with upscale appliances & beautiful decor. The hot tub is brand new & so comfy & enjoyable. This house is like a home away from home. If you are looking for a wonderful place to spend your vacation, you found the right place. MF

My wife and I self-managed bookings when we got started, but after Cardo took over our net income increased, even after paying their fees.

Rich stuck with it and saw it through to it's full resolution. Highly recommended!

I was impressed with all the little extras like organic soap (made locally), luxurious shower with two different heads, reverse osmosis drinking water, free wi-fi and cable. It was also nice to get to do my laundry there (another freebie) while sitting in the hammock under an amazingly fragrant trumpet tree. It felt good to know that the owner of this property cares enough about the environment to install solar panels on this property. When was the last time you noticed solar panels on the local Marriott? The location to this place was so conveniently located to Balboa Park as well as South and North Park my girlfriend and I usually just rode our bikes. I can't wait for my return trip to San Diego because I will be definitely staying at the Eco Studio again. Thank you to the extremely hospitable Sean for making our San Diego stay so memorable!

The entire perimeter is fenced in with a security guard at the entrance who keeps tabs on everyone in the complex. A 2 bedroom home can accommodate 4 guests, and they are strict about this. You will not be allowed to have additional guests even for a few hours, therefore it is very safe and private. I love the architecture which ranges from Mexican Baroque to traditional Spanish Colonial and the entire compound has cobblestone streets and cement walking paths. There are several little gardens of roses and other lovely flowers making this a great place to take walks and enjoy the scenery. The large pool/jacuzzi area has plenty of lounge chairs and shaded seating, a shuffleboard court, a gym, and a banquet room. There is also a large surfing beach with several sturdy palapas for all guests and owners to use. A visit to Las Gaviotas is certainly a treat. I love to relax, enjoy a good book followed by a leisurely walk, then swimming and a relaxing dinner when I visit.

We stayed in house 137- the only issues we had was a broken umbrella which wasn't a huge deal at all especially since it was pretty chilly during our stay and the showers are not ADA. I had to get into the shower and help my mom in as it's a tub with no way in except about 2 feet high and no rails to hold on to. We will definitely be back!!

I'm so, SO happy this venue was available for our celebration. I HIGHLY recommend Good Life Beach Resort to anyone looking for a fun, welcoming space for a special event!!

The beds are comfy the outside areas are spacious and fun and the owner is always easy to get a hold of if not the on sight manager. Any concerns I've had always got addressed like needing more towels or toilet paper. This is the perfect spot for a big group gathering where you can rents lots of units with multiple rooms and beds, as long as you are okay with other people staying on the property and possible other events going on. The event space was perfect for our girls craft day, our live streamed game show and even a bunch of nerdy card game sessions!

Tim, Ciara, and Ruth worked diligently to answer every one of our questions promptly and thoroughly. We had nearly a two-year engagement, and even though we booked the venue far in advance, the team consistently made us feel like a top priority every step of the way. The venue itself is breathtaking and spacious, allowing you to host not just a wedding day, but an entire wedding weekend your guests will remember. The team goes above and beyond to listen to your vision and thoughtfully incorporate every detail, making the experience even more beautiful and personalized. We would recommend this venue--and this incredible team--to anyone. We stayed from Friday to Monday (with a Saturday wedding). While a majority of our family, and bridal party stayed on site, we had plenty of others that stayed at htoels near by. Early on in the process, the Villa del Paraiso team recommended Vista Hermosa which worked perfectly as they provided shuttles to and from our venue throughout the weekend. Additionally, the food is amazing! Villa del Paraiso's chef, Jorge, and his wife, Ame, are truly exceptional. I've been to many weddings, and it's often difficult for food prepared for large groups to come out warm and flavorful--but they absolutely delivered. We had countless guests tell us it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Everything was served warm and prepared perfectly. My husband, Jake, and I are so sad our wedding weekend is over. We wish we could relive it and work with this amazing team all over again!

They not only helped us plan the wedding, they helped us plan a wine tasting tour for 60 days the day before the wedding and a pot- wedding brunch for 120 guests. The Villa was big enough to house our immediate family & wedding party for the weekend. The wedding coordinator and staff took exceptional care for us the day of the wedding!

The coffee is a 4/5 only because I like mine piping hot and it wasn't. The grapefruit juice though was freshly squeezed and delicious 5/5. The roasted vegetable omelette was a 3.5/5 because it has interesting veggies in it and not as good as last time. I would probably get a different dish next time. Every plate comes with freshly baked scone and yummy jam. The fries are good and they have house made hot sauce which wasn't bad. The chocolate chip pancakes were delicious and huge 5/5 All in all, I would definitely recommend this place for brunch!

Ocean Beach, fondly known as "OB" offers so much, from Sunset Cliffs, shopping, easy walking, and such beauty.

And 20-30 minutes away by car: San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Coronado Island, Torrey Pines, Shelter Island, Little Italy, Gaslamp District, and more. We have already booked for next year!
