*Don't miss the new drone video! Look in pictures - it is the third picture/video.*
Our place is a very relaxing tranquil place to take in nature with amazing panoramic views. This is the perfect place to land after a fun filled day of sightseeing or just relaxing pool side. The Property sits on over an fully landscaped acre that backs up onto parkland which is part of the San Dieguito River park with miles of trails surrounding beautiful Lake Hodges. There is a Sonos music system throughout the home and outdoors with an endless music selection from Pandora or play your own music with a line-in to the system.
The home is full of custom touches as Lea is a interior designer and enjoyed working on all the details including sand-blasted floor etchings, widespread arches & niches along with custom furniture throughout including wall murals in the kitchen, dining room and one bedroom, faux-finished walls throughout, bringing a sense of warmth, peace & calm throughout. The custom kitchen has lofted beam ceiling with a large roof skylight. There is a 30 ft round entry turret entrance with a winding staircase to the second floor master suite, another bedroom & office with balcony . Nearly all ceilings are 10 ft or more and many are lofted with sand blasted beams.
There are great outdoor living spaces which include the covered patio with gas barbecue, sink, refrigerator, serving area, table and seating ,and wood fire pizza oven. A covered Lanai on the lakeside with hanging bench swing for watching birds in the water fountain & sunsets. Also down in the yard you will find a fire pit and another covered lanai viewing point. There is a courtyard living room with a fireplace & fountain, bird feeders surrounded by the entry turret, dining room with bi-fold doors, kitchen, and the art studio/guestroom, all is beautifully landscaped with lots of fruit trees for picking and just an overall peaceful zen experience with many places to just hang out in the great outdoors.
Best of all, the home was designed to capture the magnificent views of Lake Hodges, wildlife and foothills beyond. The kitchen, the family room, the living room, the master suite and deck, the office, two other bedrooms, and the patio all capture the views. The home sits on a quiet cul de sac and the neighborhood is great for walking or running.
We look forward to sharing our property with you; we are sure that the whole experience will be memorable & superb. More pictures upon request.

Summary: This was the perfect place to celebrate our 50th anniversary with our family. This large home was able to comfortably accommodate our family of nine. Every part of the home is beautifully decorated inside and out. Lea welcomed us personally with wine and charcuterie. She even put up some 50th anniversary decorations in honor of our special occasion. There is an outdoor kitchen adjacent to the infinity pool overlooking Lake Hodges. One of the highlights of our stay was enjoying pizzas cooked in the wood-fired pizza oven. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

Summary: All four generations of our family had a wonderful vacation! There was plenty of space for everyone and multiple things to keep us all entertained. Our grandkids even learned to play billiards! We all loved the infinity pool with the amazing view. It felt as if we were at an exotic resort!

Summary: Vista de la Cresta is a hidden treasure. Situated in the hills of Escondido, California, amid a beautiful 1 acre diverse garden of beautiful succulents, flowering trees, palm trees, cacti, citrus trees and fountain features, the sprawling, beautifully decorated home provides luxurious relaxing bedrooms and living areas. Outdoor seating features offer comfortable locations from which to enjoy the many hummingbirds and other birds taking advantage of the blooming landscape. Upon our arrival we were greeted by the owner, Lea, for a personal walk through of the home. The hosts provided every amenity imaginable (including a welcoming charcuterie tray and wine) and responded quickly by text for any last minute questions. It takes no effort to enjoy the evening setting sun and random hot air balloons between the mountains while seated beside the luxurious infinity pool and hot tub. We’ve stayed in many homes over the years for our family vacations. Vista de la Cresta is the first home that truly exceeded our expectations. The owners live in the home and you can see it through its cleanliness and all the individual special touches. Thank you, John and Lea, for sharing your piece of paradise with our family.

Summary: The outside of this property is absolutely breathtaking. Would stay again and recommend to anyone we know. If you're looking for a property that offers peace and tranquility, this is it. The infinity pool and hot tub was relaxing. The decor of each bedroom was spot on. Only wish all the bedrooms had tvs. But with the pool table and all the different outside sitting areas we survived.

Summary: Our expectations for a one week vacation were really high based on the photos and reviews, and Lea & John’s home exceeded expectations. Beautiful architecture, tastefully decorated throughout, and the outside areas are stunning. We enjoyed the pool and spa every day, and the gardens are peaceful and ornate. Our group of ten spanned three generations and everyone had a blast. Also more than enough room. The views never get old. Highly recommended.

Summary: To say this property is spectacular is an understatement!! Besides the fantastic interior which is perfectly furnished, there are views for days. We never got tired of just relaxing and gazing at the mountains, the lake and the pool. The pictures don’t do this home justice. Our family of 9, which included 5 adults and 4 children were more than comfortable in the five bedrooms. The owners Lea and John go above and beyond, you will be so happy if you vacation at Villa de la Cuesta ! The Shuford Family New Orleans area

Summary: This was definitely the most beautiful vacation home we have ever stayed in. It was like having your own personal resort. The pool and views were gorgeous! We didn’t believe the home could live up to the property’s pictures, but it did and then some . It was the perfect family get away. My husband and I were traveling with our two adult children and their significant others. Everyone had a great time. Lea and John, the hosts were very attentive and made us feel right at home. We cannot wait to return!
