We are a young married couple living the dream in America’s finest city. Raphaël works as a software engineer and Renée is a pediatric nurse. Raphaël was born in France and loves connecting with guests from Europe, while Renée is a California girl through and through.
In our spare time, we enjoy traveling (we’ve been to more than 20 countries and can’t wait to explore more!), eating out, and spending time with our family. We love board games and all things dessert. We are quiet, respectful people devoted to living out our purpose within the bigger picture.
We are looking forward to connecting with you wherever that may be!
Blessings,

We stayed here for a small bachelorette party weekend and loved this house! Great views, nice jacuzzi, good location, and the hosts are really helpful and responsive.

The Harbor View Villa was a great home base for our family spring break. The 6 of us were very comfortable. The upstairs space is open and welcoming and we spent a lot of time in this space playing games or winding down after a long day of activity. The toaster oven and microwave were more than sufficient and we didn’t really miss the stove/oven. We didn’t use the grill outside but the hot tub was great and the jets worked really well. The views to the harbor are great as well and Ralph’s grocery store is a short 5 minute walk. Thanks so much for the hospitality and great stay!!

This place is incredible and unique. If you are traveling to San Diego, then you owe it to yourself to book this place. How often do you get to spend the evening in a rooftop jacuzzi hottub with a clear view of San Diego harbor watching planes land and take off from the airport? It is heavenly. The space is two floors and HUGE. The main bedroom has a ridiculously opulent bathroom with another jacuzzi tub, and the second floor has a wet bar and giant tv with every streaming service you can think of. The place is well stocked with ample coffee, dishes and other amenities, plus some really thoughtful touches such as a nice custom welcome message on a cute little blackboard, and a big binder of restaurant and tourist recommendations. It's also a convenient location, within walking distance of the harbor, grocery stores and restaurants, but very quiet. Did I mention the view?
The main caveat is that (as noted in the description) there is no full kitchen, so your cooking options are a little limited (though why are you cooking when visiting San Diego?). However, there is a toaster oven, microwave, coffee machine, wet bar, fridge, etc etc, plus a fancy outdoor BBQ which has a gas burner if you simply must do a little home cooking.
All in all, this is a luxury option at a fantastic price. We stayed in 8 different Airbnb's throughout California, and this was far and away the most memorable. You absolutely must stay here. The hosts themselves were super responsive, friendly and helpful. Just an amazing experience overall. Highly recommended.

Amazing views of San Diego and the harbor! Loved the large deck and hot tub. Close to everything and easy to get around. Much better than a hotel room! Raphael and Renee are great hosts!
