About this property

Gorgeous Bay View & Sunrise/Sunsets from Your Private, Sunny Deck in Point Loma!

Relax on your private deck with beautiful views of San Diego Bay, the downtown skyline, Coronado Island, and the nearby mountains. Where else can you have lovely sunrises and watch the sunset reflected off the skyline from the same deck chair? And YES, all the view photos shown in our listing are taken from our (your) patio deck! Parking is spacious, easy, and free, usually right in front! Also, we have tennis and pickleball courts across the street and you can play there for free as our guests.

Did you know that our part of San Diego (Point Loma) was recently determined to be #3 on the 10 Coolest Neighborhoods in America? Do a Google search on "10 coolest neighborhoods in America right now" and choose Money.com for details. (Homeaway won't let us put the URL in this listing)

Our home is located less than 10 minutes from the airport, Shelter Island, Harbor Island, downtown, and EASY walking distance to restaurants, shops, yoga, and the bay. Many guests tell us how much they enjoy being able to do so much without having to get in a car! Watch the fighter jets take off from North Island and frequent sail boat races. You can see the hills of Balboa Park where the San Diego Zoo is located. Sea World is 15 minutes around the corner. The border is 25 minutes to the south. The lights in Mexico are visible at night from your deck! Walk over to buy fresh fish from Point Loma Seafood. Stop by the Jennings House Cafe for breakfast in the morning. Or skip all that and enjoy one of HarborTown's 17 beers on tap.

Your cozy apartment with private entrance and private deck includes everything you'll need for making your San Diego vacation a most memorable experience. The kitchenette is newly remodeled and the queen bed is very comfortable. And we just added a hardwood floor to the bedroom. *** Note, the virtual tour is 6+ years old - many upgrades since then but it does give you an idea of the layout. ***

We think you will be most comfortable with two people but please inquire if you have need for a 3rd guest. You may be visited by our friendly cat from time to time. Our home sits on a hillside so it’s about 20 steps to your level. You can cut that in half by taking our outdoor elevator (hillevator) to our level and walk down to yours.

Your hosts, Kelle and Dave, live just above and will be on hand, when needed, to answer any questions and provide recommendations for the many activities and sights San Diego has to offer. When we are home we're pretty quiet so you will hardly know we're here. If you want to take it easy and save money, don't rent a car and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. There is a path along the water that is very nice at night. We often walk down there. Overall, we think we have the best value in all of Pt Loma. Please read through our reviews to see what those who visit with us are saying.

Point Loma Location
Property is perfectly located for touring in and around the San Diego area. A car is a necessity. Property is nestled is a residential area but is in easy walking distance to many restaurants, shops and services. Venturing out to most attractions are within a 15 minute drive. Large brick patio overlooking the bay and Coronado Island is the icing on the cake.

Great view of the Bay!
A great little place. Every morning we watched the sun rise over the bay and the ships moving about. Dave and Kellee are great hosts and we enjoyed wine and chatting with them. This place is a great base point for day trips to the zoo, The Midway, restaurants and the beach. Very comfy and cozy. Had everything we needed!

Great Getaway
Charming property with its own private deck and fantastic view of the sunrise behind the beautiful San Diego downtown skyline. The neighborhood was wonderful, walkable, and delightfully close to the bay. It's also an easy drive to the airport and other locations in town. We enjoyed the hosts' recommendations for restaurants, especially Mitch's and the Jennings House. Great fun to meet the hosts on the last evening. We had a wonderful time and we will be back!

Great location and access to sites. Wonderful view of city and harbor.
Close to everywhere you’d want to go. The patio view was what makes this place a gem. The lights of the city at night and watching the sailboat and ships was awesome. The restaurants in Point Loma were great. Dave, the property manager, was helpful. Trolley system into the city was very easy to use. Definitely glad we rented a car. Must go places: San Diego Zoo, Coronado Beach and hotel, Padres game at Petco Stadium, Torey Pines, La Jolla. Do the Flagship 2-hr cruise with amazing history of the many Navy ships and aircraft, and see sea lions. Found this dive place in Oceanside, Mike’s Taco Club - hands down the best burrito ever created.

Couple days stay
I saw this property on VRBO a few years ago and wanted to stay, but it just never worked out, but it did for a couple nights this trip. It's a nice place and would be good for a romantic stay just like they say. The pictures make it look even better than it is, but that's more a statement to good photography than any deficiency of the property. It's in a great Pt Loma side street location, and parking is easy. The owners are responsive and involved, very easy to communicate with. The view is especially nice at night. 4 only stars because it isn't perfect.

Great view and nice neighborhood
We loved our short stay in this quiet neighborhood with a fabulous view of the city. Great restaurants are just a short walk away, and it's an easy drive to downtown and Coronado Island. The apartment is small, but had everything we needed. Like others, we particularly enjoyed the patio. The hosts went above and beyond to look after us, with great communication, local information and welcome wine - even though they were dealing with personal issues and travel at the time of our stay. The steep steps might be an issue if you have lots of luggage or mobility problems, but we felt the area was safe enough that we could leave a few things in the car.

About the host

Hosted by Dave

Host profile image
Kelle and I met on-line in 2023 and found out within days that we were the life-partners we have both hoped we might find one day. We've been inseparable since.

In 2011 I bought this home in Point Loma with my now ex-wife, Toni, with whom I remain friends. I credit her for the layout and furnishings in the apartment. When she and I first stood on the deck and looked out at the same view you will have, we knew this was the home we both wanted. She spent the first year remodeling and making the apartment into a warm, inviting, comfortable place to live and share with the many new friends who will be coming to vacation with us.

I have traveled to a number of wonderful destinations and often use home rental sites to find a place to stay rather than the sterile confines of a hotel. Everyone I've met has been very gracious and friendly, and that is what you can expect from Kelle and me. I am retired and am usually available for questions.

When Kelle and I are home we're pretty quiet so you will hardly know we're here. You're likely to see more of our cat than us!

Why they chose this property

No where else we know of can you have the rich mix of views, quiet and serene, walk-to places (restaurants, beaches, walks along the water, bars, pharmacy). And we''re only minutes away from the San Diego Zoo, downtown, Ocean Beach, Coronado, San Diego Airport, USS Midway, Sea World, Balboa Park.

What makes this property unique

You have your own private deck with views that you'll never have from local hotels. You can eat at a different restaurant every night for two weeks and they're all good! You'll never pay for parking because it's residential and free. Or skip the car rental because Uber and Lyft will be here in a few minutes to take you wherever you need to go.
