- Open concept dining room (open to living room and kitchen)
- Large full bathroom
- 2 King Beds + 1 Twin Bed

Relax in the historic neighborhood of Mission Hills while conveniently close to all the San Diego attractions (Balboa Park, Sea World, San Diego Zoo, La Jolla, Beaches). This historic 1920's bungalow has been newly renovated with A/C and new hardwood floors throughout. The open and bright decor has been curated to give you the feeling of home while you are visiting family, friends or just enjoying a well deserved vacation.

There is a spacious living room with two seating areas for reading and watching TV. The living room opens into a large dining room that will seat the whole family or group. The dining rooms flows into the kitchen which still maintains a vintage feel with its original cabinets. However there is no hardship as it is stocked with modern amenities (microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker). There are two bedrooms with KING size beds and ample closet space. There is one room with a twin. All the bedrooms have ROKU TV and ceiling fans. Additionally the entire house has blackout curtains for privacy and restful slumber. There is a large laundry room off the kitchen. The backyard has space to relax in with your group as you grill on the BBQ or a quiet place to sit amongst the fruit trees while drinking coffee and eating a fresh pastry from the local coffee shop Kettle & Stone. The bungalow is walkable to many coffee shops, restaurants (Fort Oak, Thorn Brewery), parks (Pioneer & Presido Parks) and boutiques (Moon & Sun, M-Theory) but downtown San Diego and Little Italy are just a short UBER ride away ($10-15 dollars).

For those with little ones, children's toys, books, portable crib and high chair are available. References for babysitters can also be provided if requested.

Beautiful Home, Great Location

The house is located within 15 minutes of the airport, Old Town, Petco Park, the zoo, Seaport Village and the Gaslamp Quarter. The neighborhood was quiet and there was plenty of street parking. The house was clean, the beds comfortable, and the water hot. There were lots of towels and ice available. We had a slight issue with the code for the front door but the owner quickly arrived at the property to help us resolve the issue. The owner was also quick to respond to my messages prior to arrival.

Charming all around, would stay again!

Enjoyed greatly! Pleasant neighbors, easy street parking. Morning walks through this very historic area were a lovely way to start the day. Comfy beds, great master bath shower with good water pressure. Good kitchen, underpowered microwave, cooler, various trays, heavy cutlery. Would love to see a large vase added, as we brought home an armful of flowers from little Italy farmers market - we improvised - all was well. Thank you!

Beautiful Home in San Diego

My colleague and I are here for a wound care workshop (we are both nurse practitioners), and we were fortunate enough to find this beautiful little home. This is a wonderful, comfortable place to stay and is located in a great part of San Diego. I especially loved all the holiday touches that were throughout the house. The beds were amazing and the shower pressure was wonderful. This beautiful place was a welcome place to stay after 8 hours of class each day. Thank you so much for making this stay so memorable!

Great stay!

House is wonderful and as described. Quaint, walkable neighborhood. Approximately 15 minute drive to Balboa Park, Zoo, Coronado, and ~25 ish to La Jolla. Check in and out easy. Parking on street and sometimes unavailable right in front of property but still reasonable distance. Definitely would recommend!

Home away from home

This home will quickly feel like your home away from home. It had everything from towels for the beach to a full size laundry room. The beds were very comfortable and the home was very clean and organized. I highly recommend coffee on the back porch that boasts beautiful fruit trees and the sounds of the neighborhood near by. The location is everything you could hope for: 7 minutes from the airport but 10 minutes from all the hustle and bustle of the fun local spots in the city. The location is so perfect. Coming all the way from Texas we were a little worried about missing all the comforts of home…. We never missed a thing! Thank you for a beautiful stay.

Cade funeral post service gathering

My 93 yr old father passed away last month… the service was on the 28th ad we gathered at the house afterwards…. It was exactly what we hoped for… The caterers had plenty of room to spread out trays and the 20 guests had plenty of room to mill around and visit… I’m keeping this place in our library of VRBO stars!

Perfect Last Minute Find in Mission Hills

My family and I had an amazing stay at this Mission Hills Bungalow, booked very last minute. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, making the whole process seamless and stress-free. The location was absolutely perfect, especially since my nephew was running his first marathon. It was a short walk to the 12-mile mark, which made it easy for us to cheer him on. The house itself was beautiful and charming, with every detail thoughtfully considered. It was well-stocked with toiletries, making our stay feel like home. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this bungalow to anyone looking for a cozy, convenient place to stay in Mission Hills. Thank you for a wonderful visit!
