About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Paradise Palms Retreat: Lux Vacay or Wedding! -- Welcome to Paradise!

Paradise Palms Retreat is a spacious private property in North County San Diego built for bringing people together. With room for up to 16 overnight guests, multiple living spaces, a detached game room, extensive outdoor entertaining areas, and parking for up to 14 vehicles, the property works especially well for families, group trips, reunions, and approved private gatherings.

⸻

THE PROPERTY

The home offers multiple levels of living and sleeping space, giving larger groups room to spread out while still having plenty of shared areas to spend time together.

The main level serves as the center of the home with a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, dining area, living room, two King suites, and an additional sleeping space.

Downstairs, guests will find additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a separate Media Room with a Queen sleeper sofa.

The private top-floor Penthouse Bedroom includes a Queen bed, TV, separate entry, and views across the property, Vista, and North County San Diego.

⸻

OUTDOOR LIVING

One of the highlights of Paradise Palms Retreat is its private tropical setting.

Approximately 3,500 sq. ft. of outdoor entertaining space is surrounded by mature palms and landscaping and includes:

* Custom fire pit
* Outdoor kitchen
* Outdoor dining and lounge areas
* Custom evening landscape and overhead lighting
* Large open entertaining area
* Parking for up to 14 vehicles

Whether you’re having dinner outside, gathering around the fire pit, or spending an evening under the palms, the outdoor space gives larger groups plenty of room to enjoy the property together.

⸻

DETACHED CASITA / GAME ROOM

The detached Casita has been converted into a dedicated Game Room with ping pong, TV, bar-style seating, lounge space, and games.

Because it is separate from the main house, it gives guests another place to spend time together without crowding the home’s primary living areas.

⸻

LOCATION

Paradise Palms Retreat is located in Vista in North County San Diego, providing convenient access to many of the area’s most popular destinations.

Guests can easily reach North County beaches, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Encinitas, LEGOLAND California, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, restaurants, breweries, shopping, and other San Diego attractions.

You get the space and privacy of a large property while remaining within reach of the coast and surrounding North County communities.

⸻

WEDDINGS & PRIVATE EVENTS

Paradise Palms Retreat may accommodate select weddings, celebrations, and private events with advance approval.

Our approximately 3,500 sq. ft. outdoor entertaining area, tropical landscaping, evening lighting, and large driveway have made the property a unique setting for intimate gatherings.

All events must be discussed and approved by the host before booking and are subject to an additional event fee based on the size and nature of the gathering.

We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate a major milestone like retirement. This house absolutely delivered on everything we needed and then some. From the moment we walked in, it was clear the property was well cared for—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for guests.The layout was perfect for relaxing and spending time together, whether it was morning coffee, evening drinks, or just unwinding after a long day. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were comfortable, and the overall atmosphere struck that ideal balance between “home” and “getaway.”What really stood out was how seamless everything felt. Check-in was easy, communication was clear, and there were zero issues during our stay—which, frankly, is exactly what you want when you’re trying to enjoy something as meaningful as a retirement celebration.Bottom line: this place helped make a big life moment even better. Highly recommend, and we’d absolutely stay here again.
