Why the Owner Chose University Heights

This 100 year old Craftsman home was purchased for the purpose of remodeling and selling. Once finished, I couldn't bare to part with. I moved my parents in the home for 4 years and when they decided to move to a more conducive home, I thought of selling again, but then decided to share the home with others by way of a vacation rental. This was the best decision I have ever made. The home has so much character and charm and sits perfectly in it's eclectic, metro neighborhood & sooooo close to everything there is to do!!

The Unique Benefits at this House

As mentioned before, this home is quite charming and well appointed with it's decor and amenities. Any guest will say that they truly have enjoyed the neighborhood because of it's walking distance to restaurants, shops, "Trolley Barn Park" (great for kids & dogs & summer concerts). Also, the fact that you are so close to every attraction you can name in San Diego, you can't beat it!!

A
Sea World

About 7 minutes from home.

B
San Diego Zoo

3 minute drive from home.

I have been many places in the world and San Diego has simply stayed in my comfort zone because of it's sunny weather, eclectic lifestyle as well as the beautiful coastline.

I am a very people oriented person and the vacation rental industry has given me such pleasure, affording me the opportunity to meet such awesome guests from all over the world that we have welcomed to our homes here in San Diego. I can only say that; "I hope that I have the pleasure of meeting you someday & if so, look forward to the many return visits that most of our guests take pleasure in!

    • Loved the house. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood. We visited with several stores and restaurants nearby as well as the park. The home was just as you said...close to everything. It was perfectly located for almost everything we did in San Diego this weekend, which was A LOT. Everything in the home worked properly and there was plenty of dishes, etc., in the kitchen. I would definately consider staying there again if I have the chance to get back to San Diego. Thanks, Bob. It was a pleasure working with you.

      Homeowner Response:
      Thanks so much Debbie! It was nice meeting all of you and we truly hope to have you back again!

    • My husband and I rented Bob and Anthony's home with my daughter and son-in-law, the end of July. It was the perfect home for us since the upstairs bedroom was in another part of the residence and allowed both couples complete privacy. We felt like we were staying in a friend's home. Everything was there that one would need and more! The air- conditioned house was spacious but yet charming; the Craftsman flavor was throughout even though updated and contemporary. We used two of the bedrooms but there is a third smaller room that would be great for kids. One of the master baths had a jacuzzi and there was a wonderful stone- walled shower on the main floor. Having the garage was an added bonus also. We have family living in the area and this locale was great for us but would be convenient really for anyone. There are coffee houses, restaurants and of course the park within walking distance and friends arrived practically at our door by bus. As you see, I highly recommend it, plus the owners are wonderful and seem to always be available!

      Homeowner Response:
      It was our pleasure! Thank you & hope to see you again.

    • This was the perfect place for us, and even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. We (my husband and I) were traveling with my 2 year old and my parents and found this house to be exactly what we needed and more. And, Bob was wonderful - so warm and hospitable. I will stay at this house every time I am in San Diego. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else.

      Homeowner Response:
      Thank you so much! I was so nice to meet you & hope to see you all again real soon.

    • The house was just lovely and comfortable. I especially liked the upstairs balcony. Great for our dog. Close to activities and perfect for getting on and off the freeway. Bob and Anthony were very nice and professional. Two parking spaces which were much appreciated. Could drive into downtown without using the freeway. Neighborhood was pretty quiet even though the main street was just around the corner. Nice wood floors. Lots of light. Very happy with the whole experience.

      Homeowner Response:
      Thanks Mary!!!

    • We can't thank Bob enough for sharing this home with us! Two families (four adults & two 2-year-olds) spent a long weekend in sunny San Diego, and this was the perfect place to call "home base." It was awesome to have Bob meet us upon our arrival to give us a tour & answer any questions. Easy parking, nearby park, quick access to freeways & major attractions ... why would anyone even consider staying at a hotel, when something like this is at your fingertips? We are already considering an annual visit to this gem! THANKS!

      Homeowner Response:
      Thanks so much you guys! Take care for now.

    • My new husband and I stayed here with close friends to celebrate our downtown San Diego wedding and couldn't have been happier! Full of charm and plenty of gathering places, this house provided us with the perfect place to entertain our out-of-state wedding guests and prepare for our big day. Close to everything - large retailers, grocery store, restaurants, and a park for our dog made this an ideal rental. Our guests loved it so much, they are already planning the next group vacation! My husband and I highly recommend this property for anyone looking to stay in San Diego. Bob was professional, accommodating and warmly welcomed us to the property.

      Homeowner Response:
      Ashley & Nathan, Thanks you so much for your wonderful comments!

    • Our family of 3 adults, 2 grandparents and two 1-year olds loved this house. The location is great. It's close to a hip neighborhood, and has easy access to the freeways. It makes for a great base in San Diego. The best part, though, is how comfortable and beautiful the house is. I wished I lived there yearround! The owner is great--very responsive and professional. Couldn't have asked for better. We'll be back next year!

    • I got married last November and I wanted to find a place that my family can stay at and feel right at home. Everyone loved this house! They kept raving about how beautiful and comfortable and it was so much better than staying in a hotel. My bridesmaids and I got ready in this house. It was perfect! The owners were very very nice. We accidentaly misplaced one of our wedding cards which had $100 (cash) and Bob called us right away and we picked it up a couple days later. It help since we lived close by but I highly recommend it for anyone traveling to San Diego. Trust me you'll love it!

    • We LOVED this place! It was the perfect location, a beautiful, quality home, and the owners are wonderful. A much better solution for traveling with teenagers than a hotel room!
