We have a lovely Tuscan villa-style home with all the feels (chef's kitchen with top of the line appliances; fast wifi; smart TVs; a dedicated office with sofa, bookshelves and desk + a newly constructed second office ADU w/desk and killer views which you are also welcome to use); upgraded everything and beautifully designer decorated; lush gardens with fountains, 17 fruit trees, organic raised bed vegetable gardens, a rose garden and dining patio, wildflower meadow, and fully fenced yard (half an acre); outdoor living areas and walking paths, a porch swing under an arbor, fountains, always-on Jacuzzi, grill, etc.). Our sitter will be invited to stay in our well-appointed dedicated guest bedroom w/luxury linens and enjoy the highly upgraded guest bathroom. About the area: Anchored by historic Highway 101, this stretch of California coastline has some of the best surfing anywhere in the world and a laid-back, SoCal vibe all its own. Here you'll find plenty of dining options and shopping opportunities including the Cedros Avenue Design District, the Carlsbad Premium Outlets, several upscale malls and unique, local boutiques. North County has everything from five-star fare at Addison to authentic traditional Mexican food, along with craft brew tasting rooms, urban wineries, and seaside watering holes. If you're looking for outdoor adventures in San Diego, the north region has plenty. From hiking in Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve and stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking in Carlsbad Lagoon, to biking along the coast, or sport fishing, whale watching or surfing, from La Jolla to Oceanside outdoor enthusiasts are sure to be entertained. The North County Coastal region is also home to some of San Diego's top attractions, including LEGOLAND California, SeaLife Aquarium and Legoland Water Park, the Flower Fields at Carlsbad, and the Del Mar Fairgrounds, host to the Del Mar Fair from mid-June to early July, followed by the Del Mar Thoroughbred Racing season. There's also the San Diego Botanic Garden for a look at native flora and fauna. At the Eastern border of North County, you'll find the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Las Vegas style Indian Casino Gaming and plenty of great wineries and local breweries. There is a Ring at the entrances, but there are no internal cameras or recording devices.
