Fire up the grill and relax in the cozy outdoor lounge of this 1930s Craftsman cottage before settling in to the hot tub. This home features both modern and vintage charm, boasting sleek wooden flooring, open-plan living, and a full chef's kitchen. A 6 ft privacy fence allows for the perfect oasis and is perfect for kids and dogs running amok.

My home is located in the heart of San Diego, just North of Balboa Park in an area called North Park. I am within walking distance to bars, craft breweries, restaurants, and shopping. The beach and downtown are just a short 10-minute drive away.

The house itself was fully remodeled in 2012, yet kept some of the characteristics of the period when it was built. The walls are rounded in the living room of this 1935 Craftsman home.

Outside the home

There is a large private yard, Caldera Hot Tub, and great outdoor space, complete with a BBQ grill and patio table that seats 6 for dining outdoors or a comfortable outdoor sofa bed perfect for lounging around in the afternoon after a full day of exploring.

Inside the home

The kitchen is full of light, central to all activity throughout the house, offering an enjoyable cooking experience. The kitchen is well-equipped with all of the tools you'll need to create a delicious meal and there are even four comfortable counter stools at the breakfast bar where you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee.

The kitchen opens up to the living room, where you will see a dining set, adjustable to either table or counter height, that seats four. Pull over a couple of counter stools for a rousing card game or plop down on the newly added sofa (sleeper) and set-up a movie night with the 42 mounted Roku TV with DVD player and surround sound system! Choose a great flick from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, or the selection of DVD's, and whatever you do, don't forget the popcorn!

Bedroom 1 is located just around the corner from the living room. It features a queen-size bed, a ceiling fan, a spacious walk-in closet, dresser, night-stand, and a door leading out to the backyard.

Bedroom 2 also has a queen-size bed, a closet for you to store your belongings, and a bookshelf with some classics for you to enjoy during your stay. Both bedrooms have plenty of natural light streaming in so you won't miss out on a second of that San Diego sunshine!

The bathroom is next to bedroom 1 and features luxurious stone flooring, granite counter tops, dual sinks, and a large walk-in shower.

To get to the spacious backyard, go through the door in bedroom 1 and you'll find the perfect place to hang out on a sunny day! You can cook up some juicy burgers on the gas grill and enjoy them at a glass-top table for 6. When you're ready for a bit of R&R, climb into the hot tub just around the corner.

Location

The house is located in a quiet neighborhood in trendy North Park with a park and playground just a few blocks away. Head in the other direction, and you will find bustling streets filled with bars, craft breweries, esteemed restaurants, and eclectic shops.

A few places worth checking out nearby include Belching Beaver Brewing, Jayne's Gastropub, Nomad Donuts, Tiger! Tiger!, and Soda & Swine.

Jump on the I-8 and you are a short drive to gorgeous beaches, a vibrant downtown, and the city's best attractions!

“Conveniently located, no matter where we wanted to go, it took just minutes. It is surrounded by hip and trendy shops and restaurants that we enjoyed daily. But once you are behind the gate, you have your own little oasis. We immediately fell in love with the home and outdoor area.

“One of the easiest reviews to write. Beds might have been the most comfortable I’ve slept in. 5 stars across the board for comfort, quaintness, location, neighborhood, cafe/food accessible, privacy, amenities, cleanliness, and a great sound system for the TV.

The yard wrapped around the house and was perfect for the kids to run around and us adults to lounge on the wonderful huge deck with a big comfortable outside couch and relax time in the hot tub. Private driveway with gate was nice for parking and to close off the yard for kids to play safely.

    Really lovely little bungalow. Was perfect for a long weekend in San Diego with my husband and 3 year old. The place is super clean and has all the basic necessities. The outdoor space was a really nice place to lounge after a full day at the zoo and beach. Tasha was extremely communicative and made sure we had everytbing we needed for our stay. Highly recommend.

    Really enjoyable stay at the property. Easy walking to bars, restaurants and coffee shops. Neighbourhood felt safe when walking at night. House was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Easy to travel to Downtown and other areas both by car and the bus. Tasha the host communicated with us all through the lead up to our stay and was informative about the area. Thanks for a great stay, we enjoyed our anniversary trip enormously

    This was a super cute, comfortable place to stay. The kitchen was well equipped and even provided some staples for cooking. The fenced in yard was perfect for our 2 dogs, and the neighborhood was nice to walk them as well. We will definitely be back on our next trip to San Diego.

    The house is what we in the Northeast imagine when we think about SoCal. Wonderful location in North Park, the privacy fence is a game changer for resting with the family in the warm San Diego sun.

    I can't say enough good things about this property; my family has stayed here a few times. This house is just so lovely and in a great location for really enjoying all that North Park has to offer. There's a really nice kitchen and living/dining area plus two cozy bedrooms. The bathroom is lovely, too—very spacious. The outdoor space is just stellar—perfect for lounging and dining/gathering. The hot tub is just lovely on chilly evenings and in the early AM, too. Overall, this house is well stocked. Good kitchen supplies. Plenty of dishes and glasses, plenty of towels. The house is also super clean. Tasha is a terrific host—very responsive and kind. We've stayed here multiple times and love it and consider it our San Diego spot for being with our CA family. We're looking forward to our next stay.

    This house is wonderful and the host is extremely responsive to questions or concerns. The location is perfect for exploring anywhere in San Diego (easy on/off for several freeways not far away (although far enough not to hear freeway noise)- walkable to restaurants, large grocery store (Vons), breweries, and numerous take out places. It is super comfortable with a smart TV that allows you to access your own streaming service, nice washer and dryer, wonderful shower (on demand hot water at a good water pressure), and very quiet and felt very safe. The beds were super comfortable with nice linens. The host has thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable! I would definitely stay here again!

The property is stocked with everything you would need during the stay. Our two kids and us parents were very comfortable with our sleeping arrangements and the outside area was nice too. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    Cozy home with a beautiful patio and hot tub. Tasha is a wonderful host - super responsive and friendly. Very comfortable beds, great linens, excellent walk in shower with lots of space and good water pressure, fully stocked kitchen with island. Walk in closet provided plenty of space for unpacking and storing luggage. Spacious driveway parking with gate for privacy. We had 4 people, and it was just enough space for us for 8 days. It is a little bit smaller than the pics, but the outside space more than made up for that. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

    Very clean, comfortably remodeled cottage with a spacious deck. There is also a tall wood fence with gates around the front yard, driveway and our vehicle, and made us feel secure. The two of us and our small dog enjoyed relaxing on our 3 evenings there, and appreciated being able to walk to Von's market and cafes. The cottage is also convenient for driving the mile or so to Balboa Park and the SD Zoo. Tasha was very prompt and helpful with a few questions we had.
