Stayed May 11, 2026We had our home tented for termites so picked this property because it allows pets and was highly rated. We were very comfortable there and so were our two cats. It’s in a great location in Old Town and we enjoyed taking walks in the area and walking to restaurants. The cottage is clean, well equipped, comfortable and homey. It also has a lovely outdoor enclosed patio. Would definitely recommend it to others.

Stayed Apr 10, 2026One of the best place we have stayed in San Diego! The location was amazing and considering how parking is so challenging in Old Town, it was so convenient to have parking right at the house and to be able to walk anywhere around Old Town. For a house so close to all the busy tourists walking around Old Town, it was surprisingly quiet. The weekend street market on Harney Street was a block away. Again, we were blown away with the ideal location of this property.The enclosed yard was perfect for the dogs. Except for the sofa bed (though we appreciate that there were 3 beds total) in the living room, all the other beds in the bedrooms were very comfortable. There was TV in every room.The host was very friendly and seemed very accommodating for the check in and check out time. Overall, we were extremely impressed with this property. What a relaxing and fun getaway we had!!

Blankets, towels, sheets, pillows, and cooking utensils were provided as advertised. You'll likely have to bring most of your own cooking ingredients but I prefer not using after strangers anyhow!

Stayed Jun 21, 2025We had a great stay! Joan and Dove were so accommodating and lovely when we wanted to add an extra night to our trip. Joan greeted us upon check-in and was very welcoming. The home had everything we needed. It was so nice for our family to be able to spread out - for less than the cost of a hotel room! The location is absolutely fantastic! It was a two minute walk to the trolley to take us to and from downtown San Diego. We loved being able to walk to shops and restaurants. The off street parking was so helpful, and we were able to drive to other attractions quickly and easily (Balboa park and the zoo - 10 mins, La Jolla - 15ish mins, Cabrillo / Point Loma - 15ish mins). To be truly transparent, we stayed over a weekend so there was a bit of noise at night but, honestly, that is because of the excellent location. We absolutely would not have changed a thing about the trip and would stay here again if traveling to San Diego because of the location and the space. As a plus - we really appreciated access to laundry and a full kitchen! (Ralph’s supermarket and Target are about a 5 min drive away - also very convenient!) Many thanks to Joan!

Stayed Jun 16, 2025We communicated easily with Joan, the property manager, before arriving at the vacation rental. The instructions to check-in and out, where to park, and how best to enjoy our stay were clear. The house sits right in the middle of Old Town and lets guests experience the sights, smells, and sounds of local businesses. We had a welcoming whiff of burgers and fries from the restaurant next door. Whether you need a caffeine fix, to satisfy a craving for Mexican food, or want to take a leisurely stroll into Old Town State Park, this vacation house provides a base camp for such activities.Something to keep in mind when staying in the 2-bedroom rental in the front, or the smaller unit toward the back. Both rentals share a driveway that can be a little snug if your car is larger. We have a mid-size SUV and renters in the other unit had the same vehicle. We had to maneuver the car a few times to ensure we could easily reverse out of the driveway. We spoke briefly with the other renters and asked if they had enough room. They appreciated the consideration and thanked us. A little courtesy goes a long way. This is not a deal breaker, just awareness to best enjoy the unit.The sofa and ottoman were comfortable. The kitchen made for easy meal prep and the filtered water next to the sink was a nice touch. The bed and bathroom shower were refreshing after a day of sightseeing. Joan and Dove, the owner, really made this vacation rental feel like home. A perfect place for a mini-vacation.

Stayed Jun 2, 2025Location, location, location! Great stay in the heart of Old Town San Diego. Don't miss walking around the corner and having amazing tacos at Flor's Farm to Table. Start the day with a coffee from Flor and Seed Coffee Roasters. Grab tasty beverages from Old Town Tequila. All walkable while leaving your car in the driveway (yes off off-street parking). The cottage has a well-equipped kitchen for meals at home and a fenced yard for the dogs and humans to enjoy. Joan was there to greet us and get us situated. This is a definite return to property on future trips to San Diego.
