Modern Urban Retreat, Perfect Central Location

Freshly renovated pool 2023 (Even better than before!).

This home is perfect for visitors of San Diego who want to stay very close to all of the city’s major attractions (San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park with museums and theaters, Sea World, downtown Gaslamp district, beaches) and be within walking distance to numerous restaurants and bars, while still having the option to chill by a large pool and fire pit in a canyon setting. Also just 14 mins to the airport or beach!

Description:

The Space
The property offers a mix of traditional and modern architecture, with contemporary amenities and a zen front garden with water fountain that is frequently visited by hummingbirds and dragonflies. San Diego’s famously perfect weather all year-round lends itself well to outdoor living every month of the year. The pool patio with deck above a canyon features a large swimming pool, a fire pit with comfortable seating area, landscaping, and a dining table and grill for barbecuing on those many warm Southern California evenings. A truly magical location to enjoy sunset. This home is a rare find in the densely populated urban center of San Diego, where large canyon-side pools are very hard to find.

The house itself sleeps 6 adults in maximum comfort (extra children can also be accommodated with air beds). It offers one master bedroom with King-sized ultra-plush bed and en-suite bathroom (with two person shower) upstairs and two bedrooms (one with medium-firm Queen-sized bed and one with two TwinXL memory-foam beds that can be converted into one true king bed) downstairs. There is a modern bathroom with large jetted tub/shower combination and luxurious European hardware conveniently located between the two downstairs bedrooms. All bedrooms are appointed with high-thread-count sheets, high-end mattresses, and luxurious towels. The gourmet contemporary kitchen features a 6-burner Dacor dual-fuel range, top-of-the-line Bosch dishwasher, microwave/convection oven, large 42 French-door refrigerator and is stocked with plates, glasses, silverware, pots & pans, and anything else that you might need for a meal cooked and enjoyed at home. The dining room table comfortably seats 8 people. We hope that you will enjoy the living room with its modern furniture, a 52” TV & surround sound audio with Cable access, and lovely view of the beautiful pool area (pool can be heated at additional cost). The long driveway along the side of the house can easily accommodate three cars. Additionally there is a washer/dryer hidden in the kitchen. WiFi access throughout the property facilitates 50Mbps internet access.

The Neighborhood
The home is located on a small street in San Diego’s Hillcrest/Mission Hills residential neighborhood. Hillcrest’s lively, diverse, and eclectic center with countless restaurants and bars is about a 10-minute walk away. We are located 1.3 miles from beautiful Balboa Park with close to 20 museums, gardens, and theaters, 2 miles from the San Diego Zoo, 3.8 miles from San Diego’s famous downtown Gaslamp district with bars, restaurants and shops, 5.8 miles from Sea World, 3.6 miles from the airport, and 6 – 8 miles from some of the city’s most beautiful beaches. The nearest grocery store is less than a 10-minute walk away from the house.

    Lovely property with hardwood and tile floors. Thoughtfully decorated and an excellent location for getting downtown or onto the I-5 highway. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking, a plentiful larder and clean bathroom plus pool/beach towels. Short walk to local Ralph's grocery store and take-out/restaurants. Parking for 2 cars and Host Jesse was friendly when reached out to and quickly resolved an issue with the wifi modem. The pool was a highlight for the kids and we also enjoyed BBQ & s'mores in the well lit and furnished back yard. Plenty of room for a family of five, we really enjoyed our stay.

    The home and location are beautiful. The beds are comfortable. House is stocked with mostly anything you'd need.The pool was a bit chilly, so if you are sensitive to temps you may ask for it to be heated. I hate that we didn't do that. The pool cover has to be replaced at night and can be slightly cumberson. Overall-a wonderful stay!

    House was better than described. Very comfortable for a family of four, but could easily accommodate six people. Layout of the house was open and inviting. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook a few meals. Keurig had plenty of pods for all of us,Front of the house had a bird fountain that did, in fact, attract a hummingbird among other birds. I don’t do yoga, but imagine the area by the fountain would be a perfectly tranquil place to do so.Weather was overcast much of our stay, so we didn’t use the back area as much as we would have liked, but it’s very spacious and comfortable.Beds were all comfortable, too. The lone TV in the living room was connected to a fantastic sound system, better than the one in our home.What else? Location of the house is also great. Walking distance, if so inclined, to two supermarkets, a CVS and plenty of restaurants. Balboa Park is maybe a 15-minute drive. Communication was prompt and friendly when we had a tiny issue that resolved on its own. Strong recommendation, and can’t wait to stay here again!

    Me and my friends enjoyed staying here for TwitchCon San Diego. The outdoor space, pool and other amenities were great place to unwind and relax between excursions into Hillcrest, the zoo and convention center. Ride-sharing was super easy from this location or a short walk to the grocery store and coffee shops nearby. Jesse was a great host, communicated well and accommodated our requests. I would definitely stay here again the next time I come to San Diego!

    Had a great stay with family. The pool was heaven and I’m glad I requested to have it heated. The home is nicely appointed, clean and the beds were comfy. Jesse our host was easy to work with and very gracious. Would love to return some day.

    We loved our stay. The house was a real gem. There was plenty of parking for 3 cars which was a huge plus and the house and kitchen were amazing. I will agree that this rental was one of the best stocked rentals I have ever stayed at which was a huge plus. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and the location is very close to a grocery store and lots of restaurants. My only regret is that I didn’t realize how cool it is in San Diego even in the summer and I didn’t opt to heat the pool so my kids thought it was too cold to swim.
