ABOUT THE OWNERS:

WHAT TO EXPECT:
After a comprehensive remodel, the Hilltop Villa has been WOW-ing guests. “Oh my gosh,” or “no way” are usually the first words as guests step from the front door into the massive, all window, panoramic view, high ceiling living room.

A common refrain in guest reviews echos what guest Marie wrote: “This villa was absolutely amazing! It is even better in person than in pictures!!”

WHAT ABOUT PETS?
We usually allow pets for an extra fee of $25-$100 per night. For concerned pet owners, our property is fully fenced.

GUEST COUNT:
The Hilltop Villa has 4 bedrooms with a king bed each.

The pool shell is made of pebble tech to create an inviting light blue water color. Extra glass and abalone shells embedded in the pool surface create an extra sparkle. The shallow baja shelf is perfect for lounging in the water while the built in crescent shaped pool bench allows you to enjoy the views. From July - September the water temperature customarily exceeds 85 degrees, so the pool and pool bench become a favorite gathering spot. Pool heating - during the cooler months - is available for those who want to enjoy the pool at their favorite temperature (extra heating charge applies).

HOT TUB:
The hot tub is always ready to be used. Unlike other places, you don't have to schedule your 'soak' and you don't have to pay extra to heat it. It's always hot and ready for you.

We sell the avocados commercially (harvest time is usually in June) to help pay for the water bill (the grove needs the equivalent of 5 inches of rain every month), but you are welcome to roam around the grove and pick avocados or citrus (we have white and pink grapefruit, tangelo and satsuma tangerines, kumquats, cara cara and navel oranges, pomegranates, cherimoyas, apples, passion fruit and macademia nuts).
