5BR Wellness Villa Sauna, Hot Tub, Gym

Past guests called it “one of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed at” and specifically raved about the beds: “the most comfortable beds I’ve slept on at an Airbnb.”

THE SPACE

You’ll have exclusive access to the entire property: a fully fenced sanctuary with its own private entrance. The home flows seamlessly between indoors and outdoors, designed around two core principles—bringing people together and honoring quiet, restorative moments. Host a group dinner on the patio, then retreat to a peaceful bedroom or backyard corner whenever you need solitude.

The design feels refined but lived-in. High-quality furnishings, thoughtful lighting, and details throughout create luxury without stuffiness. This is a home built for actual gathering, not photos. The layout keeps larger groups comfortable without feeling cramped—everyone gets space to breathe.

WELLNESS & OUTDOOR LIVING

The backyard is the heart of this property. Step into your own private wellness circuit: start mornings with the cold plunge, spend afternoons in the sauna, finish active days in the hot tub. An outdoor shower with a waterfall feature lets you rinse off in style.

Beyond wellness, outdoor living truly shines. A custom outdoor BBQ island anchors the entertaining space, complete with a pizza oven, generous prep counters, and built-in seating—perfect for group meals. Daybed lounging, egg chair swings, and fresh herbs from the garden complete the picture. Whether you want active entertaining or slow morning coffee rituals, the backyard delivers on both.

LIVING & ENTERTAINMENT

The main living room is spacious and designed for shared experiences. A 75″ TV with sound bar creates perfect movie nights and game tournaments. A baby grand piano adds an elevated, unique touch—genuinely rare in vacation rentals and a focal point for music lovers.

A dedicated game room includes arcade games, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, ping pong table, board games, and foosball. Every entertainment option is thoughtfully curated, not generic filler. This combination of high-quality entertainment keeps mixed-age groups engaged for days.

KITCHEN & DINING

This kitchen is built for serious hosting. High-quality appliances, abundant counter space, and generous prep areas make feeding large groups effortless. Whether you’re cooking a full dinner or casual breakfasts, the layout handles it with ease.

Coffee lovers get special attention: a premium espresso machine with a top-of-the-line grinder means fresh, quality brews every morning. The space has everything needed for hosting—dining table, full dishwasher, cookware, dishes, and silverware all included.

FITNESS & WELLNESS

An on-site gym with full strength training and cardio equipment keeps your active routine intact while traveling. The cold plunge, sauna, and outdoor shower create a complete recovery circuit—especially satisfying after a workout. Past guests specifically mentioned enjoying the fitness center and wellness amenities throughout their stay.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS

Five thoughtfully furnished bedrooms sleep up to 18 guests comfortably:

• Primary Bedroom: King bed
• Bedroom 2: King bed
• Bedroom 3: King bed
• Bedroom 4: Queen bed
• Bedroom 5: Two bunk beds
• Additional Sleeping: Sofa sleeper

The additional sleeping capacity comes from the two bunk beds in Bedroom 5 and the sofa sleeper.
There are no cots or air mattresses provided with the property.

Three full bathrooms ensure no morning congestion with larger groups. Each bedroom features quality bedding and ample storage. Guest reviews consistently highlight the exceptionally comfortable beds—multiple guests have said these are “the most comfortable beds I’ve slept on at an Airbnb.” For multi-day group stays, great sleep matters.

LOCATION & NEIGHBORHOOD

Located in a quiet, safe residential neighborhood, this home offers genuine privacy and peace of mind. The area is family-friendly with established residents—not a high-traffic tourist zone, so you get authentic neighborhood calm.

You’re minutes from San Diego’s best attractions: the beach, restaurants, shops, and local activities are all close by. The location balances residential tranquility with convenient access to what makes San Diego great. The home is also near popular neighborhoods and entertainment districts, but your retreat feels like a genuine escape from the hustle.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

This property appeals to groups that value both wellness and connection. The combination of wellness amenities (cold plunge, sauna, hot tub), high-end entertainment (piano, gaming, arcade, ping pong, foosball), outdoor entertaining (pizza oven, grill, outdoor kitchen), and practical host touches creates an experience most rentals don’t deliver.

Guests repeatedly mention: the spacious layout keeps larger groups comfortable, the bed quality ensures great sleep, and responsive host communication removes friction before and during your stay. The backyard becomes the gathering hub—some guests report using the hot tub, sauna, and outdoor entertaining space every single day of their stay.

GOOD TO KNOW

This home sits in a residential neighborhood with full-time residents and families. Out of respect for neighbors, outdoor music and excessive noise must end by 8 PM. This is not a party house. Any noise violations may result in immediate stay termination without refund, plus applicable city fines. If you’re seeking a peaceful, respectful multi-day getaway, we’d love to host you.

Additional perks: Private entrance, on-site parking, free parking on street, WiFi, air conditioning, heating, EV charger, solar power with battery backup, professional housekeeping with enhanced cleaning practices.

“Great place to stay. Could relax in a nice house.”

“Property looked exactly like the photos! Host was extremely responsive and answered any questions quickly. Would stay here again!”

“Great stay and amazing host!”

“Joshua was an amazing host. His place accommodated our stay for myself and our wedding party for the weekend. Amazing location and loved the gym, sauna and cold plunge! Josh was very responsive and helped make this stay one of the most memorial airbnb's we have ever stayed at. I can not recommend this place enough.”

“Amazing all around!”

“Loved our stay in La Jolla. The pictures for the home were accurate. We enjoyed our mornings and evenings outdoors on the back patio every day. We had an active group of adults so took advantage of the hot tub, sauna, cold plunge, and weights each day. Plenty of beds and bedding for our large group. Communication with Josh and APEK was easy when we had questions.”

“We booked this place super last minute because our original booking was cancelled the day we were scheduled to check-in. Joshua, the host, was super accommodating, very friendly & went out of his way to accommodate us. I cannot speak highly enough about he, his wife & his cleaning crew. The house was clean, comfortable and inviting. Beds felt like sleeping at a luxury hotel. The outdoor space was perfect for our large group. The house really offered something for everyone. Plenty of outdoor games to keep the kids active and seating areas were very comfortable. Hot tub/sauna in the back. Fitness center in the garage. Outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven was a great amenity. The living areas were really spacious and comfortable. Just all around a great experience. No one wanted to leave. Saving this house on my profile for sure. Thank you Josh!”

“Had a great stay! The house was beautiful with a great backyard. Josh was super responsive. Highly recommend this place!”

“Our family is located all over the country and we look forward to two trips a year where we all can get together to play, explore, relax, catch up and have fun! Joshua's home checked every box! Check in was so easy even with the flight delays and arrival later than expected. Joshua is a great host and responded very quickly anytime I communicated with him. He even came over on request to check on something and brought us a case of Spindrift! So nice! The house felt like home the minute we walked in, smelled fresh and was very clean. The rooms were set up nicely and the decor was beautiful. It was equipped with a large yard, gym equipment, two washers and two dryers, and so much more than we expected. The location is close to everything "San Diego"!!! We went to the beach and hiked when we weren't enjoying ourselves at the house. Grocery is a couple of blocks away and the airport is very close too. The online description of the home was on point! We definitely recommend!!”

“This was one of the best airbnbs I have stayed at. It was very well decorated. The amenities were great like the sauna and showers, and all of the beds were soooo comfy!! We had a couple minor issues and Josh was extremely quick to respond and help us with them. Plenty of space for our group of 8 that stayed here. I definitely recommend this property.”

“Amazing stay it accommodated our large group perfectly”

“Beautiful home, the most comfortable beds I've slept on at an Airbnb, great for a big family/friends trip!”

“We brought my parents to San Diego to celebrate my mom’s birthday and overall had a lovely stay. We really enjoyed the house and appreciated the effort that went into making it welcoming. A few things were a little different from what we expected, as the photos didn’t fully reflect some of the recent renovations. For example, the new fireplace was a bit of an attraction for our 16-month-old, though we were able to make it work without too much trouble. We also noticed there was one less king bedroom than originally described, though in the end it wasn’t a major issue for our group. We had initially planned to use the extra room as a workspace for my husband during an important Zoom meeting, but we were still able to manage. Joshua was kind, helpful, and responsive throughout our stay, and we truly appreciated that. Overall, we could see the great effort that was made, and we would give 5 stars for that.”

“I stayed with 8 guests and we had plenty of room. The place was beautifully decorated and the bed and sheets were so comfortable. The backyard was fun to hang out in and the jacuzzi and sauna was a nice touch. Each room had a TV and the bathrooms had nice products. We loved our stay! Would highly recommend.”

“The house is amazing. Everything is clean and neat. The house seems newly furnished, so pretty much everything is new, and everything you need is there, even a pizza oven! So location is really convenient too, there’s supermarket like 5m away, and some restaurants that’s really close too. Definitely will come back again in the future! For the price, it’s a hidden gem! Recommend.”

“This property was a great space to kick back and enjoy. In a quiet location with aesthetic indoor and outdoor spaces. Joshua and the team responded in a timely manner. Unfortunately during our stay, the sauna, outdoor fire pit, and torches did not work. Joshua was willing to fix it in a timely manner. Also, our clothes and jewelry were bleached and ruined from the jacuzzi. The chlorine level was too high.”

“The interior of the house was actually updated and modernized and we enjoyed most of the interior. Some of the exterior amenities were not usable due to some housekeeping and possible maintenance issues for the jacuzzi and sauna. However, due to unforeseen circumstances the A/C wasn’t working and was ultimately determined to be broken and not repairable during our stay. The summer heat was pretty extreme the 2 nights that we were there but the host did his best to remedy the situation both during and after our reservation. I think the host is great with communicating and answering any questions to facilitate a good stay. I would have given it 5 stars if not for Murphy’s law interfering that weekend.”
