About this property

Tourmaline House: Walk to Beach & Restaurants, Fenced Yard, EV Charger, Bikes

The Tourmaline House is the charming beach getaway you've been looking for. It's a real house, lovingly landscaped, with a grassy backyard to relax in after a day of San Diego exploration. We are located in Pacific Beach, just a 1000ft (300m) walk to the beach. Walk or take one of our bikes to explore the boardwalk, bay, shops and restaurants without the need of a car.
With top-quality furnishings, an enclosed backyard retreat, and amenities like bikes, high speed internet for work and streaming, baby items and beach gear, all included – you will find privacy and retreat from the hustle and bustle when it's time to chill.

We can accommodate up to 8 guests and 2 dogs in our home. The entire house is wheelchair accessible, and we've had several handicapped guests to date. We don't have AC. Photos in the listing were taken in 2023.

Have an electric vehicle? We now offer our guests the convenience of charging at home. Just select the electricity fee when booking, and bring your own cable to use our 240volt plug in the garage.

The Master Suite is a luxurious retreat with a King size bed, two closets, smart TV and an indulgent large bathroom finished in travertine and glass tile. A dual sink vanity separates the spacious walk-in shower on the right from the enclosed toilet on the left. There is enough space in front of the bed to add a pack’n’play and easily walk around.

The Queen Bedroom is next to the Master Suite and sleeps 2 in a queen bed.
The Kid’s Bedroom sleeps 4 guests in 2 twin over twin bunk beds.
A large full bath on the hall has a real Jacuzzi. A separate area has a dual sink vanity.

Enjoy full access to a stocked kitchen, enclosed grassy backyard with propane grill, parking for 2 cars. Beach gear is included: chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, cooler plus 2 bikes, beach wagon and scooter. We also have a portable crib and a baby chair.

The house sits just 2 blocks off the beach (Tourmaline Surf Park), a 5 minute walk. This part of the beach is the north end of Pacific Beach, a local's paradise, as the tourist crowds concentrate further South.

A 3 minute walk from the house you'll find Turquoise St, with a grocery store and numerous shops and restaurants. You will also be equally close to cute cafes and restaurants on Cass St. Easily reachable on bike are the beach boardwalk and Garnet Avenue, the center of the beach nightlife.

We also have a 3-bedroom town home in Pacific Beach available. Please check out the Felspar Townhome, VRBO listing #295172

A great stay!
We spent seven weeks in this comfortable and friendly house. It was nicely clean on arrival, well maintained and exactly right for our winter getaway from the north! Our two little dogs were happy in the back yard. The owner was very responsive when needed.

Great place to stay
We enjoyed this 3 bedroom house with fenced in backyard. Plenty of room for family that visited for a cookout. A few used the bikes that were provided as well as the wagon to go to the beach with a young child. The location was convenient to walk to coffee shops and breakfast and the beach. I will look to stay at this location again.

Nice stay in prime location
The location is great. Very close to beach access. While on a main street, it is a bit down from the really busy part of Mission Blvd. The house has everything needed in the kitchen. Backyard was nice to have for the dogs. Owner was responsive when issues arose.

Taking our German Shepherds to Pacific Beach
Wonderful location. Great backyard for our two German Shepherds; All grass, no poison plants for dogs. One block from the beach. Never took the car out of the garage. Great restaurants, grocery store, beach, all within walking distance. We particularly enjoyed Pastiamos, The Fig Tree and The Hideaway.

Great location! Perfect for 2 couples. Quick walk, block and 1/2, to Tourmaline Surf Park. 2 blocks to specialty grocery store, Oscars incredible taco shop, good Hawaiian food. Walk to La Jolla. Beach gear provided a little worn. Comfy beds, plenty of room for 2 couples. Very busy road, noisy with windows open. Nice table, chairs, umbrella in back yard with gas BBQ.

Great property. Spacious and comfortable
We had a great time here. Perfect California weather. Good location, out of the really busy part but close enough to walk everywhere including the beach. You are close enough to La Jolla today include that for dinner. Easy drive to Downtown San Diego.

Great property, short walk to the beach
This location is great; just a 2 block walk to Tourmaline beach and a short walk to restaurants and farmers market. The house is quiet, clean, modern and comfortable. On-site parking helpful. This is our second stay and we will definitely keep renting when we come to San Diego.

Great little house
All you need in a great location. An actual stand-alone house with closed-off backyard - great for our pups. A little off location, so it's quiet, but not far off so that bars, restaurants, stores, beach are all in walkable distance (4-20 mins). And the fastest, nicest responding owner we ever had. Thanks a lot Juliana ;-)

About the host

Hosted by Juliana Raposo

Host profile image
I am a visual artist and mother of 3 beach-loving kids. Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I moved to San Diego in 2003 and fell in love with this wonderful city. Other thing I enjoy is telling people about all the cool things San Diego has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Pacific Beach is the best! The most fun beach neighboorhood, far less expensive than La Jolla, much more interesting and functional than Mission Beach. The beautiful Sail Bay is also nearby and you can easily include it in your bike ride. A variety of restaurants and shopping are all within walking distance. It is also the epicenter of San Diego's beach nightlife. For all this, PB is the perfect laid-back beach location and spares you the driving. All other main San Diego attractions are within short distance. The Tourmaline House stands out in the neighborhood as one of a few brand-new single-family homes in walking proximity to the beach. The minute I drove by and saw the new construction work, I called my realtor and made an offer! So glad I got it: )

What makes this property unique

Comfortable. New. Modern. Our home and furnishings are top grade and guests love this! They tell me 'This is so much better then what we had last summer'...
Add to this a fantastic location and an enclosed grassy backyard. I don't know of any other beach house that can even compare...
