The king bedroom features a Casper mattress and the 2nd bedroom is a queen mattress.

Two balconies off the living room are a great spot to watch the hummingbirds and green parrots that live in our neighborhood.

Beautiful, peaceful accommodations

This is the second time we have stayed here. This is definitely a pride of ownership VRBO. The accommodations are thoughtful, beautiful and comfortable. I feel like it is a home away from home. I look forward to coming back and relaxing again. There is a lovely breeze that flows through the entire space and the space is conducive to reading and relaxing. It is also close to some great restaurants and sight-seeing. Love it here

Superb

My family and I were in town to celebrate my daughter's college graduation. I booked this place due to it's 5 star rating and reviews. It did not disappoint. I can't really call it an apartment b/c it is a separate living area, has it's own door and the stairway leads up into a upper level living space that is gorgeous, spacious and immaculate. The place is historic and newly refurbished and everything is top-notch. Two full bathrooms, was a real treat. The place had everything you could want and is located in a very safe and beautiful neighborhood. We walked about 1/2 block to get coffee and avocado toast every morning. I have stayed in many VRBO's and this by far is the nicest.

Fabulous house, perfect location

Loved everything about this place. Historic charm yet beautifully updated. Quiet, walkable neighborhood less than 15 mins to zoo, Sea World and beaches. Short drive to airport but never heard a single plane fly over. Super comfortable king size beds in both large bedrooms. Host quickly answered questions. Easy parking right outside front door. Definitely hope to stay here again!

Outstanding!!

If I could have given a rate of 20 I would have gladly done so! Bob was a very gracious host and made us feel very welcome. His property is five star and beautifully decorated with lovely antiques and old photographs that we love. It feels like Melinda’s hand has touched every square inch with love! We hope to revisit someday!

A phenomenal BnB stay!

This beautiful historical property has been recently fully renovated and is spotlessly clean. It is better-furnished than any BnB we have seen, and is in fact nicer than a very high-end hotel penthouse suite. Located in an iconic, very quiet neighborhood very close to everything we wanted to visit, the views from the many large windows were wonderful. The hosts could not have been better. We look forrward to staying again in the future.

Bob & Melindas home was one of the most beautiful VRBO’s we have ever stayed in. It was even more beautiful than the photos. We had all the amenities we needed, the beds were very comfortable and the place was immaculately kept. We would most definitely stay here again in the future.

Casa Montecito

Beautifully presented residence located in desirable neighborhood. Well positioned for easy access to most areas of town. Very pleasant owner. This is a duplex unit with a flight of stairs to reach interior. Considering its location in a congested neighborhood it is extremely quiet- day and night.

Melinda and Bob were fantastic hosts and we would like to thank them for allowing us to stay in their wonderful property. The house was absolutely stunning and in a beautiful area. All the furnishings and equipment were comfortable and clean and in great condition. It was also great to have a washer and dryer in the property, so I got all my laundry done before we came home. Bob and Melinda were on hand to answer any questions we had and recommended places for us to visit and have dinner, Bob even drove us to the supermarket when we arrived to pick up provisions for breakfast. We would definitely stay here again if we came back to San Diego and I would highly recommend this property.

Everything was wonderful. Loved the property, hosts, amenities, and all the wonderful things San Diego has to offer. Couldn’t have asked for a better property to stay at. Mission Hill was so close to everything and had that homey feeling. We had the entire second floor and kept the balcony patio doors open in the evening for cool pacific breezes. Perfect for our family of 5 (4 adults and baby). Thanks so much to our hosts!

The Best

We've been staying in Mission Hills since 2013. We always come out in February to get out of the gloom of Louisville weather. We've stayed several times in 3 different VRBO's - all of which have been very nice but the all around best has been Casa Monticello. Melinda and Bill have done a terrific job on restoration and the location is wonderful. Close to everything either by walking, Trolley or car. The house is well kept and everything from the interaction with the owners to the ease of check in was easy going. Great place.

Perfect in every way!

Great place in a great location. The house had everything we needed & the whole place seems to be “new” from appliances to extras. Our favorites were all of the light fixtures & artwork. The only downside was the bathrooms are not connected to the bedrooms. They were however newly remodeled with great showers! Another great plus was ample street parking anytime. Will definitely stay there again!
