VIEWS VIEWS VIEWS! 5 Star Architectural Designer Spa
About this house rental
This 1945 classic lofty hillside residence with 4 Master Bedrooms & 4.5 baths was entirely renovated and redesigned in 2014 for Architectural Digest AD 100 by Architect John Ike for his own personal San Diego home. Luckily there is a telescope in the residence so that you can enjoy the spectacular panoramic views that stretch from Cabrillo Point and the Pacific Ocean, to the 10,000 foot high Pacific Coast Range east of downtown San Diego. The never ending parade of ships and sailboats in San Diego Bay below would be enough to keep you occupied during your entire stay! It's also one of those homes that you really have to be inside of in order to appreciate the excellent design and intriguing detailed craftsmanship that has been created for your comfort and viewing pleasure. Each of the Master Bedrooms (two on each level) have spectacular views and are decorated with vintage mid- century furniture and custom made beds, each with its own bath, and all but one affording access to the outdoors. We have two King sized beds, 2 twins, 1 queen and two single pull out couches. The custom kitchen paneled entirely in Hemlock with cork floors and ceilings, features a vintage Chambers Range and Oven, Subzero refrigerator, Convection Oven Microwave, and opens to an outdoor dining terrace with a built in charcoal Weber plus a separate gas grill. An upstairs lofty shingled great room with 13' ceilings and a wall of sliding glass panels features a living area, fireplace, dining area and a chic stand up bar and vintage McIntosh Stereo. Vintage mid-century furniture, art and textiles lend an air of casual elegance to this room you just don't want to leave. A lower level additional sitting room with floor to ceiling glass and ultra HD 4K TV provides and alternative place to hang out. So pack your bags and get ready to enjoy- two expansive decks, two additional patio areas, two living areas, 2 fireplaces, private jacuzzi, private terraced area amongst the orange and lemon and olive trees, eat in kitchen, dining area, office space with WIFi and printer, washer dryer, dishwasher, telescope, hammock, wet bar and 6 HD TV's. Ample non restrictive street parking, quiet residential neighborhood. Just minutes away from famous San Diego Beaches, Yacht Club, Shelter Island, Harbor Island, Gas Lamp Downtown, Convention Center, SeaWorld, Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo, Seaport Village, Little Italy, Old Town and many more waterside shops and restaurants. After a fun and sun filled San Diego day make sure you make time for a relaxing hot tub jacuzzi. Then just stretch out with your family on the outdoor, comfortable lounge chair furniture and hammock while you gaze upon the gorgeous sunsets. We know that this will be a Vacation Home you will always remember, and we look forward to hosting your group.

Two gorgeous decks! This home provides an amazing view of San Diego and San Diego Bay. We loved having room for 6 adults to spread out - there was plenty of space for everyone to relax. We will likely come back to this amazing house! The property manager provided an in-depth overview to the home on arrival. We enjoyed hearing about the architect and his project of restoring this mid-century modern home. The neighborhood is upscale; we enjoyed walking to Shelter Island for dinner.

Stunning outdoor area with beautiful views of San Diego. Comfortable space for our family.

Our stay at Ike’s place on Plum was delightful. The amenities were superb. Obviously a place to pause, recreate and bond with old friends in our case. We gathered around the fire pit in the evening overlooking the a magnificent view of the bay over two fingers of scotch and discussions of the problems of our world. John Ike’s interest in art and the extraordinary enhanced our experience during our stay. John has a view worthy of exploration. On the practical side, the kitchen was well equipped and so was the bar—proper stemware and all. We slept well. Bravo John!

This mid century modern home was a lovely place for our family to stay for a wedding weekend. The views off the patio our amazing and the house had plenty of room for a family of 6 to have some of their own space as well as some beautiful places to gather. I would stay here again.

We had an amazing time during our stay. The actual house looks better in person and the views were top notch. Bruce and Susan were excellent host and did an outstanding job taking me through the house getting me acclimatized. I highly recommend staying at this home. We will definitely be back.

Words can’t express how the views were Can’t beat the property location right in the heart of San Diego with the best view quick access to everywhere Mission beach, shopping centers , Restaurants etc. The property is stuffed with all everything you need.
Thank you Susan & Bruce for letting us check in a bit earlier due to our early flight arrival time. The only disappointment that I haven’t point out to the property manager was with the house keeping they were dust under the beds. Overall, it was a great experience and we enjoyed the home away from home.
Highly recommend.

We just had the pleasure to stay in this amazing home that has the most epic view of San Diego! The house itself is a work of art! It has 4 bedrooms with their own bathrooms plus a guest half bathroom! The living area is spacious and phenomenal for hanging out, listening to music and enjoying the bar area! The two decks are awesome! One has a fire pit and comfy couch, while the lower deck is shaded with a comfy hammock and chairs! The hot tub is deep and really gives you a relaxing experience with beautiful plant life surrounding the home. Pictures truly do not do this place justice. It’s even better in person! It sits perfectly in a nice neighborhood with easy access to the grocery stores, Starbucks, and places to eat! It’s a quick ride to/from the airport and the manager of the home, Bruce, is a great guy! It felt like I was in the Brady Bunch Home but modernized! I would stay here again!

All of us--3 couples and 2 children, were enthralled by this spacious and beautiful house. Whether indoors or out (two giant decks with panoramic views of San Diego, fabulous gardens, and a rustic hot tub), we couldn't have been happier.

This is the most beautiful home I have ever stayed in. The eclectic charm, curation and views from this property made for the most special family vacation. We’d come back a dozen times if we could. Thank you!

Beautifully decorated mid century home with fantastic views of harbor. We enjoyed home so much that we spent more time around the home than originally planned, enjoying the views and visiting. Very pleasant stay.

If you’re into mid-century modern architecture, you won’t find a more unique and stunning place than this. This house has the best view of any house I’ve probably ever stayed. I’m not exaggerating. Plus, you can walk to Mitch’s or a number of waterfront restaurants and bars. Point Loma is right in the heart of the city. We love OB and it’s right over the ridge.
5.0
The location was great. Less than 30 minutes to everywhere we went. The house was roomy to fit our entire family. We loved the openness and spent relaxing time on the deck looking at the boats in the harbor.

This is an amazing mid-century modern home that has been beautifully restored. It has stunning views and is located in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood. We canceled two dinner reservations just to have more time to enjoy it! It is well stocked with extra towels, sheets, etc., which was a lovely surprise. Bruce was very welcoming and helpful in pointing out all the features and key information. We will be back!

The architecture and interior design of this home bring the outside in, and elevated our vacation. The views and landscaping are spectacular, and the beauty outside is part of the experience when inside this beautiful and comfortable house. We had three generations—including a 2-year old and 4-year old—and it worked for everyone.

Very rarely can you go to a VRBO in a city and want to stay at the house the entire time! This is one of those places. It feels like home. The views from the deck are outstanding! The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, serving platters, etc. Anything you need or want is here. The beds are very comfortable, and the rooms all have a view. Bruce did an excellent job acquainting us with the property. The owners have invested in beautiful furniture. We definitely will be back! Thank you very much for sharing this special place with us.

This place was incredible. The view from the main living space and balcony may be one of the best views in all of San Diego. The pictures simply do not do it justice. We checked in with Bruce who was thorough and attentive. The space truly is a one of a kind home with sleek mid century modern architecture and tons of space!
The kitchen has everything you could think of to prepare large meals for a 10+ people. There were more than enough towels/linens/toiletries. The hot tub was an awesome addition and we used the two grills regularly.
10/10 recommend and hope to stay again.

The home was beautiful and everyone loved the view especially waking up to see the sunrise.

it seems these days, you’re lucky if the listing is accurately reflected. I did not expect that this place would be far BETTER than it seems. The photos do not do justice the design, spaciousness, decoration, view and general aesthetic. The view alone is worth it & I’ve never had shared living spaces in a rental unit be so exciting. You will have an incredible time in the living room or by the outdoor patio & make memories that last forever. Each room is impeccably designed. I would also say the owners understate how many people can comfortably sleep here. We had two couples, a single, and two people who were not coupled but shared a room with separate beds. We had abundant personal space and never felt like we were stepping on toes. If I could give this place 8/5 stars, I would - it goes above and beyond & will not disappoint

Beautiful house with amazing views
Amazing property with some of the best views in the San Diego area. Tons of room. Mid century modern vibe. Within a 10 minute drive to downtown. Loved sitting on the deck watching Navy jets blast off from Coronado Island, aircraft carriers and an assortment of military ships sail by. Bring binoculars!

Fantastic Week
Seven adults shared this property for a week while in town for a wedding. With 4 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths, there was plenty of room to spread out and to have private space for each couple and the single. The living/dining room and bar area was spacious enough to accommodate all of us. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for the week. The house was artfully and beautifully decorated in a style reminiscent of the '50's. As nice as everything was inside the house, the outside was even nicer. There were four separate outdoor spaces including 2 spaces with gas firepits. The view from the rear deck, where we spent most of our time, was spectacular. Hearing reveille and the Star-Spangled Banner each morning coming from the Naval Station across the bay was a treat. The house is located on a quiet dead-end street. We could walk to the grocery store down the hill or over to the harbor for lunch or dinner. If the group ever has occasion to get back to San Diego, everyone agreed we will make sure to return to this property.
