Location can not be beat! You are in the heart of San Diego - Old Town - and an easy 5 minute walk to the trolley and Amtrak, both of which we used extensively. NO CAR? NO PROBLEM! Gracious property host. We would stay here again every time our group would want.

A real find!
My husband and I stayed for a whole month with our dog, cat and bunny. We had a great time and really enjoyed the house a lot. Joan is an absolute delight and anything that comes up she is quick to respond and help. The house is cute and well equipped. We really loved the yard too. There is some street noise but it’s located right in the heart of Old Town so that’s to be expected. Really enjoyed having our own washer & dryer and sharing the driveway was fine too but the smaller the car you have the better. But that goes for all of San Diego really as parking is tough in a lot of places. Lots of great spots to walk a dog but really enjoyed going up the hill to Presidio Park. If you have the time there’s lot of fun trails up in there. Fav Old Town restaurants are El Agave and El Sueño and if you like good tequila go to Barra Barra because they have the best prices for the good stuff. My husband enjoyed Garden Coffee across the street and also the pizza is really good at Pizza Bella. Oh and I toured the other cottage behind ours and it was really cute too but only one bedroom. Maybe a little more quiet but a much smaller outdoor space. If you’re lucky enough to find this place available you’ll be glad you booked here.

We had a wonderful stay in Old Town! Joan and Dove were so gracious with our family and the dogs, can’t say enough about how comfortable we were. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, bathroom with all the essentials and there were even dog treats and toys in the living room. Yard and outdoor spaces were comfortable and enjoyed by all. Will be back!

House was nice, A lot of noise daily early in the morning due to business next door so no sleeping in. Parking requires planning but doable. Don’t bring a big vehicle may not fit. House was clean and comfortable. Yard needed som maintenance. But was quaint.

Perfect little cottage
This was the perfect property in Old Town San Diego. Close enough to walk to everything, but quiet and secluded as well. The property manager was kind enough to letus checkin early which was .uch appreciated. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking needs, and the property was spotless. The outdoor courtyard was lovely, a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring San Diego. The privided parking space was a bonus. We will definitely be back!

Great location in the heart of Old Town: Dogs are Welcome!!
This gem of a property is an awesome place to stay in San Diego. Located near I-5 and I-8, it’s easy to find and well located to get around. Old Town is busy at night, and this place is in the heart of it. However, with windows closed it is quiet. Parking included, and no extra “pet fee” is a real plus. We love staying!

We really enjoyed our stay in this little house. It was within walking distance to everything in Old Town. Joan was very attentive and helpful while we were there. Only one word of caution--don't bring a large truck! Fortunately, we were able to work out parking with the other family. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. Would stay here again if coming back to San Diego.

Old Town gem!
What a beautiful space to vacation! This house, as well as owners Dove and Joan are wonderful! There were 3 adults and a toddler on our trip who all fit comfortably in the house. The backyard can't be described any way other than an "oasis", with beautiful plants and even a grapevine growing along the fenceline! Joan was charming and was quick to respond when a fix was needed for a furniture issue and to answer questions, but otherwise left us to ourselves. The house has everything you would need to be comfortable. The parking took some patience and precision as it's a small driveway off a busy street, but the fact that there was off street parking at all was fantastic! We already reserved this space again for next summer and can't wait to vacation here again. Thank you Dove and Joan for hosting us, your house made our vacation spectacular!

We loved this location. We could walk to historic Old San Diego. There were numerous delicious places to eat within walking distance. The home is extremely well equipped, the kitchen well stocked with appliances and dinnerware. The bedrooms both have large TVs as well as the living room. The courtyard with table seating is magical with beautiful flowing vines. Definitely recommend.
