We are from Illinois and were looking for a 'beachie' place to stay in San Diego for a week for combination of family vacation and orientation day at San Diego State Univ, but the prices were out of sight. Then, we found the villa Ramona in the vineyards less than hour away from SD. It was perfect! There was a temporary heat dome in region making temps in the upper 90's, but the air conditioning system was fantastic, the pool was perfect and we spent 3 of our 7 days just hanging there. The owner, Ben, was very responsive to questions and requests, plus he owns the vineyard surrounding the house that has a tasting room, with great views, just steps away open Sat & Sunday. We will definitely stay there again.
