Summary: City and Bay views are the best around. We spent a lot of time on the patio enjoying the view of the city, the Bay, Coronado Bridge and North Island with a spectacular sunrise and city lights at night. BBQ and enjoy the pool and the view. The house is a grand Mid-Century modern and on the San Diego Historic Register. Accept that she is aging well and you will learn to love her. The kitchen was adequate for all our needs. The master suite is large. The electrical system is a bit quirky but was not a problem. The Navy jets are loud but we love the show. No A/C but we had a constant ocean breeze and did not need it. Would certainly come back.

Summary: Our family had a great stay here! The view was truly amazing! Great neighborhood with lots of good restaurants nearby. Location was great for going to all the main attractions - zoo, beaches, etc. Things to be aware of: The house did get warm due to no AC. The pool hours were slightly inhibiting if you have kids that wake up early. Overall we had a great stay and the manager was very good to work with!

Summary: Our family of 9 enjoyed this Armada Terrace home immensely. We visited with 3 adult couples and 3 kids (12, 9, 3). The house is located in a great location/neighborhood with easy access to all the San Diego attractions. The views from the house and the yard are beautiful with all the glass on the backside of the house. We had no issues with comfortable temperatures inside the house visiting in July (open windows and open doors). The kitchen was well stocked allowing for the ease of cooking breakfast and dinner every day. The patio and pool were a great place to relax, enjoy the view, enjoy coffee, and watch the kids in the pool. The house has some quirks due to the age but i think that really adds to the character of the house and fun conversation. Lots of space inside and out for the whole family. We would definitely return!

Summary: The house was super comfortable, clean, and tastefully maintained in the period design/decor. Other guests have mentioned how many light switches there were. It’s true! But we found them as a charming part of a truly historic home and beautiful home. Pool was super clean and refreshing. Jacuzzi was great and had amazing views of San Diego. Hans was great before during and after our stay. What a gem!

Summary: This is a beautiful mid-century modern home with fantastic views of downtown San Diego. The pictures really don’t do justice to the view. All the expected amenities were available, and the manager was extremely attentive to our needs even on Christmas Day when we checked in. The location is quite perfect as it is close to so many attractions. The only negative for some people would be that this is not a brand new home. We did come across a few issues with the house during our stay, to be expected as this is an older home, but again everything was taken care of immediately by the manager.

Summary: Our family needed to get out of town! So we decided to go see my son in San Diego. I have 8 kids and half have moved out. I was able to get 7 of them to join me on vaca so I was really anticipating letting them all relax and spending time just being. The house was better than the photos. The view was spectacular. In the morning the mist would cover the bay and as the sun warmed everything up, the mist would dissipate. It was very magical! The kitchen overlooked the bay so I prepared meals while I soaked in the view. The rooms and furniture were nicely appointed. It was very comfortable. We had plenty of towels to use by the pool, The pool was also heated and the jacuzzi overlooked the bay. The day view was wonderful, but the night views were also equally wonderful. Everyone had a great time. If you are in the area, go check it out!

Summary: We had a wonderful time staying at Villa Armada! The house was beautiful and very clean (I’m quite picky about that). Beds and couches were super comfortable. There were lots of towels and a fully stocked kitchen. The view is amazing - I could look at the harbor all day. Location was perfect for what we wanted to do in San Diego - 20 mins to Coronado, 20 mins to the Zoo, 15 mins to downtown and the waterfront, 30 mins to La Jolla. Also very near the airport but without the airport noise. Very quiet and peaceful. We really enjoyed the hot tub, but didn’t use the pool as much as we thought we would since the weather was cooler than we’d expected (the pool is heated, but a hot tub temp feels much better than heated pool temp when the air is 60 degrees!). Hans was incredibly responsive and easy to work with - I appreciated his thoughtful answers and quick responses (sometimes in less than a minute) to all of my questions. Besides the fact that the house and property are amazing, someone booking this property might also like to know: 1. It can be a little hard to find at first - its driveway is off of another driveway off of a dead end street, and a bit hidden by the house in front of it. 2. There are huge (like 2 story) windows throughout most of the house - which are great for seeing the view from most rooms - but also hard to heat well. So if you’re staying there during a cold spell, you should know there are space heaters provided in each bedroom and the living room which are very helpful. 3. There’s no pool or hot tub use before 9 am or after 8 pm and you need to be careful not to make too much noise outside so as not to disturb the neighbors. These rules seem consistent with many places in San Diego and we didn’t have a problem with them, but it seems like good information to have when you’re deciding whether or not to book a place. Again, we had a wonderful time, and just wish we lived closer so we could easily come back again sometime soon.

Summary: The house is quirky and interesting but the VIEW is AMAZING! We loved the integration between the house and the back patio/pool which allowed for a time to stay together. All in all a GREAT home that we would definitely stay at again.
