Grand mansions aren’t just for European nobility – this sprawling home on the outskirts of San Diego proves that. It embraces all the glamour and opulence of the Art Deco age with a full bar (inside and out) for sundowners, a Venetian-style entrance to the swimming pool terrace (the pool is fed by a waterfall) and myriad lounges inside decked out in mid-century splendour. A private art gallery and wine room are at your disposal and there are plenty of entertainment options thanks to a plush private cinema and fully-equipped gym. There’s a golf course and resort nearby and the centre of San Diego is a half-hour drive.

Let’s be clear: this is not a fabulous home, with a great backyard, but a fabulous backyard with a great home. Outside stuns with a waterfall pool, a putting green, fire pit, and luxurious, covered barbecue area. With palm trees and a pink flamingo for company, this is your very own cabana club, minus the beach – and the closest one in Carlsbad is only a short drive away. While the party is undoubtedly underway outdoors, there is certainly no sinking feeling when you step inside. Open plan living keeps the summer air flowing throughout its fresh and modern interior, with wide, glass doors helping to merge spaces together. The living area and bunkbed games room open up right onto the terrace, creating one massive entertainment space. One group might be playing giant Jenga on the patio, while another is splashing about in the warm waters of the sunken jacuzzi, or playing a round of golf, even cheering over a game of foosball. Spoilt for choice of activities, this is a home for an incredible, sociable break and adventure without the need to venture beyond your front drive. In the serene San Diego County, where the West Coast sun shines all day, this is one instance, perhaps, where it’s what’s on the outside, not inside, that really counts.

Sophisticated, timeless and dazzling are just a few words to describe this stunning home in the Covenant in Rancho Santa Fe. Worthy of a magazine cover and set within an impressive two-acre estate, you're in for a memorable stay here. It's impossible to ignore just how much light makes it through this home, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living – as this mansion is certainly equipped for both. A perfect day begins with a morning spent soaking up the sunshine by the pool, followed by lunch prepared in the outdoor kitchen and a drink from the full-service bar. Spend afternoons making memories with lawn games amidst the rose bushes and maybe a round of billiards, or find your quiet corner to delve into your holiday read. The elegant dining space is fit for a banquet, so feel free to flex your culinary muscles in the state-of-the-art kitchen. You'll look forward to retiring to the luxurious bedrooms and dressing rooms. For a little more privacy, a lucky guest or couple can stay in the self-contained casita (which can also be used as a fitness facility).



Casa Molino

Rooftop Terrace

Child Friendly

A home for California swell chasers to search out, this home will have you in the water in no time, with the sands of San Clemente a five-minute drive from your front door and some of SoCal's best beach breaks within an hour's drive.

However, that's not to say that if you're not a surf pro, you won't find something for you here. Your host provides some boogie boards for the kids and beach chairs for a slightly more sedate experience down at the beach. But a stay here isn't just about the coastline, with hiking trails, pristine golf courses, and shopping are all a stone's throw away. 

The vibrant home itself shouldn’t go without a mention – its shared roof terrace makes for a wonderful spot to watch the sunset over the sea. Indoors, the coastal inspiration is clear. Shades of blue give the bedrooms a sense of the sea, while a mix of wooden tables and shoreside inspired ornaments continues the theme in the living areas.

With its views across Moonlight Beach, luxurious roof terrace and Scandinavian design, this is the kind of home that captivates you from the moment of arrival. And once inside, you might find it hard to leave. 

From the art and furnishings to the natural tones and cosy textures, every detail has been considered to enrich your stay with the warmth and ease of coastal living.

Wake up early and watch the sunrise from the rooftop, take a long soak in the jacuzzi and gather for magical sunset drinks around the fire pit. And when the cooler nights draw you back inside, you’ll find the living rooms set the tone for laid-back gatherings, while the wireless music system (both inside and outside) means you can be serenaded by the sweet sound of your favourite playlist. 

Consisting of two independent apartments (each with its own kitchen, living space and bedrooms), this is the perfect setting for families and friends to share quality time together. And when you’re refreshed and ready to explore, you’ll find dreamy days can be spent on the beach, hiking or enjoying the chilled beachside atmosphere of downtown Encinitas – just a short walk away.

Outdoor Pool

Perched on a hill and completely surrounded by avocado groves, this beautiful home isn’t just lush with green vegetation, but the views out over Fallbrook are pretty scenic when you’re standing on the terrace. In an ideal world, you’ll be out there in the hot tub with a drink in hand and your eyes trained on the horizon, as a hint of an ocean breeze sweeps through. 

Enjoy a breakfast in the conservatory where the sun’s morning rays can come shining through whilst you nurse a cup of coffee. When you’re recharged, you might choose a beach day – accessible, by car, within minutes – where you can build sandcastles and feast on ice-cream, or opt to practice your handicap at the nearest golf course. Minutes away, you’ll also find a winery to shop for your favourites – crack a bottle  open as you watch the sunset from the cosy terrace sofa. 

Read in the egg chair, with the world at your feet, swim at midnight, play games together in the bright living space, eat late-night pancakes at the kitchen island, and end every night under the stars as the festoon lights lining the house try to compete with the twinkling beauty of the night sky above.

Gated Community

If you’re after some peace and perspective, this unique holiday home will be right up your alley. This hilltop hideaway is ideal for a traveller on a solo adventure, a couple in search of a romantic retreat, or a small group of friends to enjoy some quality time together. You’ll be wowed by the panoramic views of the beautiful mountains, forests and vineyards surrounding you – this home really has a ‘top of the world' feel to it. It sits atop 5 acres of avocado and citrus groves, that you can harvest from to make delicious cocktails and salads.

Wake up every morning and enjoy a fresh coffee from your Nespresso coffee maker on your balcony, as you watch the sunrise. Cook up an American breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon, and tuck in around your stylish dining set. Grab a good book and enjoy some me-time in the swing chair. Pour a glass of wine and go on a wander around the surrounding groves, and pick some avocados for supper. Fire up the balcony barbecue and grill up some tasty meats and veggies. Then as the evening rolls in, gather in the lounge to get cosy and watch a movie on the wall-mounted TV.

When you want to venture out, you’ll find yourself perfectly positioned to easily get to some of LA and San Diego’s best attractions, including Disneyland and Legoland, and you’re also close to a lot of the best wineries and vineyards in Wine Country.

Avocado Groves

Ping Pong Table

Think of the striking oceanside setting of Big Little Lies, but without all the drama; that's what you've got here. If you’ve ever imagined yourself waking up in a Pinterest-worthy boho-chic condo before setting out to the tennis courts, or the beach then this is the place for you. Zig-zagging stairs lead directly from the home to miles of sandy beach, paved coastal walkways and the striking bluffs along Route 101. Within the apartment you’ll find a medley of dusky pinks and purples creating a calming sunset feel. Each moss-green cushion, vase of wildflowers and earthenware mug feels like its placement has been carefully considered. Hidden away behind a cupboard door you’ll find all the accoutrements needed for an active day; tennis rackets, boogie boards, ping pong paddles, beach towels and a cool box. And tucked up in the loft space there’s a floppy-cushion-filled hang-out space made with teens in mind.

Big Little Bliss

Balcony / Patio

If you’re in search of a blissful beachside escape, this apartment delivers a refreshing solution. Nestled on the picturesque cliffs of Solana Beach, you’ll have direct access to the shoreline as well as a community swimming pool, hot tub and sauna. There are two private patios for drinks and alfresco dining, while the living room provides a cosy spot to switch off and unwind. Remote workers will appreciate the desks in the bedrooms, while everyone can enjoy exploring this fantastic location. From here, it’s a short walk to Fletcher cove, while the restaurants, cafes and shops of Cedros Avenue are just a five-minute stroll away. 

California Coastal Retreat

Hidden in the rocky hills of Escondido, this Californian home opens its doors onto a large and luxurious playground. Like a warm embrace, the interiors reflect traditional Spanish style with a fun twist. Breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape fill the large living area, making this the perfect spot to relax and soak in the views or challenge yourself to a game of pool or table tennis. Wherever you turn in this home, there’s an opportunity to be entertained. Spread across six acres, there’s plenty of space to move at your own rhythm. Whether you’re relaxing by the swimming pool, cooking in the kitchen or out on the tennis court, experience the magic of this secluded spot in the heart of San Diego. And when you want to spread your wings, the beach and local restaurants are only a short drive away. As the day fades, you’ll be flying back to this rural retreat to watch the sunset as you raise a glass to this playful paradise.

Sophisticated yet comfortable, this resort-style home is sure to impress. It’s in the city of Encinitas, close to the beach but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to make for a relaxing base. We love the outside space, which boasts a salt-water pool and spa, along with a Gas Viking barbecue and an authentic pizza oven. Best of all, there are numerous lovely spots to enjoy the sunset from. Inside, there’s plenty of space for everyone to gather together, but there are cosy corners too. If you’re anything like us, you’ll love the elegant en-suites – particularly the one with a dreamy garden-view tub.

Nestled into the San Diego hillside, this sprawling home is something nearer to an estate. We’ll let you decide whether you’d like to enjoy the impeccable views over the valley from the bedroom, dining table, pool or tennis court. Wake up with breakfast on the deck and then soak in even more Southern California sunshine on a lounger by the pool. Cool off with a dip before a heated match of tennis – the champion will have to defend themselves at the pool table later. While the playground, pool, and court alone are reasons to stay here, we can’t get over the inside of the home – a blend of antique furniture, modern glass doors, Spanish chandeliers, and high wooden ceilings make time indoors equally well spent. With stone walls, rooms flooded with light and hand-crafted wooden beds you and your family and friends will feel like royalty. As the evening nears, light up the barbecue and watch the sky change colors. And of course, if you somehow run out of things to do, you’re right above one of California’s biggest cities, with plenty of dining, culture and nightlife to keep you busy. 

California King

This rural retreat is stretched across three stunning acres of Californian countryside in the heart of San Diego’s North County. Surrounded by eucalyptus, pepper and palm trees, the fresh air invites a deep sense of relaxation and this continues when you step inside this traditional Spanish home. It’s hard not to be mesmerised by the views, which fill the home with a luminous quality, and with a large living and dining area, there are plenty of comfy spots to sit and admire the beauty. Upstairs, the bedrooms have their own individual charm and character, with ornate features, like four-poster beds and antique furniture, lending a regal tone — you may well feel like royalty when you wake up and look out onto the lush gardens. After a restful night’s sleep, make your way down to the swimming pool for a revitalising dip, before eating breakfast on the patio. Spend your day relaxing on the grounds, or if you’re in the mood for fun, there’s plenty to keep you entertained with a pool table, pinball machines and a ping-pong table. If you want to see the great outdoors, there are also incredible hiking and mountain biking trails that start moments from your front door. As the day draws to a close, light up the fire pit table on the terrace and bathe in the glow of this magical setting with your loved ones.

Trash Compactor

Set on 4 acres in the heart of wine and avocado country, this countryside home offers a dreamy Californian escape. It’s a beautiful home in Fallbrook, the eco-friendly neighbour to the grand wine estates of Temecula, which is only twenty minutes away. It boasts panoramic views and has been designed to show them off, so you can expect vast windows and stunning vistas in every room. There’s an outdoor kitchen and dining area close to the courtyard rose garden and the orchard of citrus trees, as well as chairs to lounge on beneath the wisteria. You’ll have everything you need here, including a gourmet kitchen and a heated pool. 


Field & Sky

Treat yourself to a romantic getaway and escape from everyday life at this beautiful home, ideally located a two-minute drive away from downtown San Clemente. Enjoy your morning coffee on the private roof deck while you admire the outstanding ocean views. Whip up a delicious breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen, or visit the exquisite restaurants on nearby Del Mar Street. Stroll across the street to soak up the sun at San Clemente State Beach, or visit the popular surf spots at San Mateo Point to catch waves instead of rays. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy the nearby Pruneridge or Sunken Gardens courses. Many sought-after destinations such as San Deigo and Anaheim are easily accessible with a journey on Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner route, while the San Clemente Summer Weekend Trolley will take you on a round trip from the pier to the outlets.
