  • Summary:

    Discover Casita Violeta, a thoughtfully designed 1 bedroom garden casita in San Diego's Golden Hill. Inspired by local art, San Diego history, and the spirit of community, this private retreat invites you to experience the city like a local. Enjoy a private entrance, peaceful patio with a fire pit, and curated touches throughout, all just minutes from Balboa Park, Downtown, Petco Park, Coronado, and the San Diego Zoo.

    Inside, you'll find everything you need to settle in comfortably, including a fully equipped kitchen, queen bedroom, dedicated workspace, Smart TV with Netflix, record player, retro game console, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Thoughtful extras like a rotating local coffee selection, books, board games, and cozy touches make it easy to relax whether you're here for a weekend getaway or a longer stay.

    • An additional shared visitor's parking when available

    Other Things to Note:

    Access & Arrival

    Casita Violeta is accessed through the alley behind the property, where you'll find your reserved parking and private entrance. Please note that the casita is not accessed through the front of the property.



    🐾 Pets Welcome

    We happily welcome up to 2 well-behaved pets with a one-time fee of $45 per pet, per stay. Food bowls, treats, and waste baggies are provided for your furry companions. Please use the sidewalk or grassy areas along the street for potty breaks—the patio is not intended as a pet bathroom. Any additional cleaning or damage beyond normal wear may result in additional charges.



    ✈️ Airplane Flight Path

    Like many neighborhoods surrounding Downtown San Diego, Golden Hill is within the arrival flight path of San Diego International Airport. To help ensure a restful stay, we provide a sound machine in the bedroom as well as complimentary earplugs.



    🌿 Property Care

    To keep Casa Pasión looking its best, weekly groundskeeping takes place on Fridays. I also care for and water the plants throughout the week as needed. You may occasionally see us tending to the outdoor spaces during your stay.



    🤍 A Home Sweet San Diego Stay

    Casita Violeta is part of the Home Sweet San Diego collection of boutique vacation rentals, thoughtfully designed to help guests experience San Diego through its neighborhoods, history, art, and local living. All Home Sweet San Diego properties are properly licensed and operated in accordance with City of San Diego regulations.



    📅 Stay Longer & Return Again

    Whether you're visiting for a weekend or an extended stay, we'd love to welcome you back. Ask about monthly stays, mid-stay cleaning services, grocery delivery, returning guest discounts, and the benefits of booking directly through Home Sweet San Diego.



    Interaction with Guests:

    I want you to feel right at home while you're here. You'll enjoy a private, self-check-in experience, but I'm always just a call or text away if you have questions, need recommendations, or anything comes up during your stay.
