Cute home with lots of character

We are really pleased we chose this house to stay in. It was August and warm so the AC units in every room was a must and it all worked really well. Important for me is windows and doors are accessible. We didn't have children with us but could tell it was well stocked for anyone bringing children. Rachel, the owner, is easy to get in touch with for any needs you may have. The neighborhood is quiet. Parking is easy to find in front of the house. The bedding is cozy and comfy and lots of dining and seating areas inside and out. I would definitely stay here if we need to visit San Diego again.

Convenient to airport and zoo. Our family enjoyed the space. The weather was nice so we ate outside on the beautiful patio.Overall space was good. It would be great to have a 2nd full bath. But we made it work fo 4 adults and 2 children.

Nice family house near a great park

Our family of four (2 young kids) had a great time in San Diego. The house had everything we needed as a family. The mattresses were comfortable and the location was central for us. Only a five minute drive to the zoo and enough room for every one. The porch swing was a hit with the kids!

Wonderful stay

We loved our stay at this vacation home! The house was a lot bigger than I expected. The master bedroom was generously sized and well appointed. The other rooms were plenty big for our needs, as well. The location was prime for our vacation as it allowed us to visit places on our itinerary with ease. It was close to everything but was enough away from the freeway and bustling neigborhoods surrounding us that it was nice and quiet for a good night’s sleep. All interactions with the neighbors were pleasant. The house was very clean and comfortable and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. There were a lot of little details that we really appreciated and we loved the fully fenced and private back yard and patio with its beautiful plants and flowers. Our hostess was wonderful to work with. She gave good instructions and was readily available but her information via messaging and what was available in the home didn’t leave us needing much. We had such an enjoyable stay!! Thank you, Rachel!!

Bff getaway

My bff and I take a trip yearly and this year was San Diego! The house was amazing, neighborhood was quiet, parking was easy right in front, the kitchen had everything we could possibly imagine needing. They had things to keep a baby too such as a playpen and highchair. They really were prepared for anything. I'm pretty tall for a female so the shower could be a bit tricky for an adult male but that's just part of the charm of an old home ❤️ we loved seeing all the cute architectural pieces of the home.

Amazing SD home

Stayed here with our three kids (8, 6 and 3) for about a week. The home was perfect! Plenty of space for all of us. The neighborhood was quiet, and we enjoyed the park a few blocks away. We really appreciated the beach toys and boogie boards on our beach days. The house was located close to everything and provided a nice retreat after our days exploring. We’ve come to San Diego for the last several summers, and this house stands out as exceptional. We’ll be back!

Amazing stay!

This home is very clean and centrally located to most everything. All you need is accommodated (dishes, grip, beach towels, beach equipment, cooler, etc). The house is spacious and has great games for the family to play. Communication with the owners was friendly and prompt. Owners also provided us with excellent recommendations to try out locally. Our family had a blast and would definitely stay again!

We loved this property! It met all our needs. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Just minutes from the North Park farmer’s market and all the little shops. If you are into reading check out Verbatim Books, it’s a great used book store. Piacere Mío in South Park is great Italian restaurant.

Second stay at lovely home

This is a great family house - lots of supplies, games, and thoughtful touches for families with kids any age. It's not fancy, but it's very homey. The neighborhood is quiet at night, walkable and offers a lot. It's easy to get to any part of the city or the beaches. The host/owner is kind and friendly and very available. The second stay was just as great as our first, better because we knew we were in good hands. We really appreciate Rachel's house!

Fantastic fantastic accommodations

The house was spotless and ready for us. Plenty of dishes cookware and linens. Very cozy yard and front porch. We really appreciated the iron and ironing board. We did have issues with hot water tank being cold and Rachel remedied the situation immediately. Excellent customer service and she is very pleasant to deal with. We would definitely go back.

Great Family Vacation

My husband and I rented this beautiful home to visit my son and his family to meet our newborn grandson. This house was perfect! It was plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 children. The 3 bedrooms upstairs are spacious with a large full bath upstairs stocked with bath, hand, and wash towels. There is also a child's crib available in the master bedroom's closet. The downstairs is open and cozy. There is plenty of seating in the living room and dining area. We were all able to stretch out comfortably. The kitchen is open with room to move around with more than 2 people cooking. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, and cooking sheets to prepare a full meal. I placed a grocery order via Instacart & received it with no issues. We cooked all but one meal during our stay & we used the glass storage containers for our leftovers. We enjoyed using the gas bbq pit & eating family meals outside. The neighborhood is quiet & quaint. Lots of people walking with their pets & enjoying the great weather makes you feel right at home too. This home built in 1935 is just lovely and ecclectic. It has character and charm that added to a great stay. We will definently stay here again.

Cute, clean house; perfect for family trip to SD

I can’t say enough good things about this house! It is located on the edge of North Park, so it is an easy drive to shops and restaurants, but on a very quiet residential street. It is also an easy drive to Downtown and to Balboa Park, and would be to the beaches as well. Our kids are older teens, so we didn’t check it out, but there is a park with a playground only a couple of blocks away. The house itself is just as the pictures show. Very cute, with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for our family of four and for hosting family and friends for dinner. It was exceptionally clean when we arrived, too. The beds were very comfortable, the shower worked well, and the house was stocked with things you need but hate to buy for just a few days—paper products, coffee filters, dishwasher and laundry pods, etc. The grill worked well and the kitchen was well equipped—we cooked dinner three nights for 6-8 people with no trouble. There were plenty of towels for the kitchen and bathrooms. Finally, Rachel is a very nice and communicative host, and check in and check out were very easy. I highly, highly recommend staying here!

Great Neighborhood and Better Home

My family and I traveled to San Diego and rented this home instead of staying in one of the higher priced hotels which were available. It was the right choice.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel

We LOVE San Diego! The sun, the beach, the happy people all make San Diego such a great place to live, work, but above all, vacation! We love our new home and city in Nashville, but be certain, we come back to San Diego as often as possible. Our 3 year old son is earning frequent flier miles faster than most kids earn stickers! We have so many happy memories in San Diego, and it makes us happy to open our home to others who want to experience the surf, sun, and R&R San Diego has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We are centrally located in a quiet residential neighborhood just a quick 15-minute trip from the airport. Close to everything, you'll enjoy the ease in which you can get to all the great destinations: SeaWorld, Balboa Park, downtown, Petco Park and of course miles and miles of beaches! North Park is known for it's great coffee shops, unique restaurants, and artsy village feel. We also appreciate our safe neighborhood, full of locals out jogging, dog walking and strolling the sidewalks. Having a huge, new park just a block away is so convenient.

What makes this property unique

One block away sports a secluded little park, 1 mile away and you'll find days worth of activities at Balboa Park. We love morning walks to one of the numerous, local coffee shops. Drinking coffee on the front porch swing while watching the friendly neighbors out jogging, dog walking and frequent baby strollers is always treat. Mostly, we love the fresh air. We eat as many meals as possible outside on the back patio...evenings under the twinkling lights make us happy.
