VRBO Bear stayed here - 11/30/2009
This Point Loma charmer of a home was the perfect location for my fall trip to San Diego. Located on in a quiet wooded Point Loma neighborhood, this comfortable casual home offers everything a little bear could hope for, yet is less than 10 minutes from San Diego's Lindbergh field (how convenient is that?). This home is close to EVERYTHING that San Diego has to offer - the lights of the Gaslamp District and downtown San Diego, Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, the USS Midway (a must for WWII History buffs), watching the sunset from Sunset Cliffs, or the nearby beach communities of Ocean Beach, Mission/Pacific Beach, La Jolla. And after a day of sightseeing, what more could a little bear desire than my own little place of solitude? That's what this home offers, and so much more...
Upon arriving at the home, you will take note of the quiet dead end street location (very little traffic) complete with a fenced front and rear yard. Upon entering, you'll appreciate the comfortable living and dining areas and hardwood floors throughout. The sunny equipped kitchen, and the large deck area off the kitchen is perfect for both small or large groups, complete with BBQ, Hot Tub and even your own private basketball court. When the sun goes down, and it's time for a little hibernation, the comfortable master bedroom suite is a great place to retire and dream about all the exciting things in store for tomorrow.
The VRBO Bear
P.S. As an added bonus, for those visiting Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU), this home is just a few short blocks from the school, making it perfect for visiting alumni or parents of current students who prefer a real home, rather than a small hotel room.

Map & Owner's Profile
VRBO Bear & 38 Raving Reviews Recommend the Point Loma Charmer
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Point Loma
The Wooded Area of Point Loma is noted for its beautiful homes and 100 year old trees. The property is located in a residential neighborhood that is tranquil and inviting yet close to everything that San Diego has to offer: the world-class zoo, Sea World, Ocean Beach, Sunset Cliffs National Park, Cabrillo National Monument, Legoland, and the airport.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our favorite evening at the Charmer begins with cocktails at the outdoor wet bar on our large deck. Then, off to San Diego's Gaslamp district, which is only minutes away, for some of the finest cuisine that San Diego has to offer. After dinner, we would stop off at Sunset Cliffs to watch the sunset, which are some of the finest in the world. Then, back to the Charmer for a late night Jacuzzi while listening to our favorite music and the soft rustle of the bamboo.
The Grocery Store and Coffee House are a short walk from the Charmer.
Owner's Map of Point Loma
The Point Loma Charmer is a great property. After living in it for three years, we started renting the Charmer out to our guests in 2005. Since then we have had over 120 families stay at the Charmer with over 35 positive reviews.
Having traveled and rented vacation homes around the world, we know what makes for a great stay: a house that is clean, well-maintained, and centrally-located to all of the tourist attactions.
The most satisfying aspect is reading the kind comments from our guests in our Guestbook and seeing where the Charmer has made a difference in making their vacation, reunion, or wedding reception a success.
We even hosted the founder of VRBO at the Point Loma Charmer -- see his review on "VRBO Stayed Here.

We would definitely recommend the Point Loma Charmer! It was perfect for our stay when our daughter got married in Point Loma in May 2008. It provided a great place to prepare for the upcoming events, to entertain guests, and was also a really good place to relax. It is clean with very good electronics (TV, stereo system that plays ipods, wifi, etc.) and the kitchen had very nice appliances. We loved the back patio! People who dropped by had many favorable comments, as well. It really is charming!

This home was in a great neighborhood in San Diego - close to Gaslamp, Old Town, great shopping, beaches and restaurants. The street was quiet and the huge back and front yard areas were very private. The kids bedroom was super cute with bunk beds and some toys/games, and the master suite was very nice and spacious as well with comfortable bedding. The yard in this home is what will keep us coming back - our two year old loved playing in the trees and basketball court! And, since it's all fenced in, it was very safe. The outdoor heaters, draping lights, great patio furniture, granite bartop with TV, fridge and jacuzzi made this home a true vacation! Thank you for a great stay! We hope to return in the summer when it's warmer! The two recommendations I would make to make this home ever better would be to provide some cleaning supplies so we moms can clean up as we stay (Clorox wipes would have been great or just a bottle of cleaner), as well as some plastic, rather than wire, hangers in the closets. :)

I celebrated my 40th birthday at the Point Loma Charmer. It was my best birthday yet!!! This adorable house set in the hills overlooking the San Diego skyline is the perfect place for any small gathering of friends or family. The location is ideal. It is just blocks from the ocean and a short drive to downtown San Diego. It has a wonderful outside deck with a bbq and built-in bar that is great for dining or entertaining. It is beautifully maintained and landscaped with a huge backyard. For those who want to relax, there is an awesome and very clean jacuzzi. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are spacious. The owners were so helpful. They suggested many fun activities for us to enjoy during our week in San Diego. They went out of their way to make sure we were all happy. Not only will I come back to the Point Loma Charmer on my next trip to San Diego, but I will recommend it to all my friends and family.

Whenever I am lucky enough to plan an SD getaway, I make it a point to stay at the Point Loma Charmer for a perfect stay. For the past few years, this beautiful and cozy home has been an absolute dream to return to and enjoy beautiful SD. The beds are incredibly comfortable, as is the furniture in the living room, and I'm in love with the outside deck, hot tub, and bar ammenities. I also enjoy the dining room table for dinner parties, or outside dining where there is even a heat lamp for those rare cool SD evenings. The location is ideal and close to the beach, Seaworld, and downtown. Dave and Kelly are a complete pleasure to work with, and are always readily available for any questions or concerns. I feel so comfortable at the PL Charmer, it practically feels like a second home. I look forward to my next visit, and would definitely recommend this peaceful abode to anyone heading to SD in the future.

I came to this home with my husband and 4 kids ages 20, 18, 18 and 11. This house suited our needs for Comic-Con 2011. It was an easy 6 mile drive to the convention center each morning and it was also very easy to get to Sea World which was about 2 miles away. We saw on the map it was close to water but you do have to drive 2 miles to get to a nice swimming beach. The water is cold here so be prepared! The house has a nice fenced in yard with beautiful landscaping, a nice deck with a hot tub and an outdoor table where we enjoyed several meals. The home was nice and clean and we found all the utensils we needed to make our meals. The beds were comfortable and we didn't have any trouble falling asleep after long days of sight seeing. There is a grocery store very close. Unfortunately I had a family member pass a way the week after we returned and had to fly out of town again. The owners understood our situation and promptly refunded the deposit which was a great help to me and my family. Also, they did rent to us for 6 days, not requiring the full week that many owners do which again was very much appreciated. I would recommend this home and I would stay here in the future.

I booked this place based on the large # of good reviews. Unfortunately for me I didn't notice that the reviews were very dated for a place that seemingly books out almost every week. I figured out why there are no recent reviews upon arrival. THE GOOD * close proximity to the airport and local establishments * size of the house * customer service from the owners THE BAD * dated, ripped and stained furniture and bed linens * technology (TV, internet) all very old and unreliable * dirt and mold in various places of the home (we felt pretty uncomfortable) THE UGLY * Constant smell of a cat INSIDE the home. We opted to go out as much as possible * Jacuzzi fills up with suds so it is totally unusable * Constant smell of cat INSIDE the home...did I mention there was a ball of fur in the kitchen AC vent. I never looked too hard to see exactly what it was. Probably the source of the smell.

We recently enjoyed a week In San Diego, and this house was perfect for a three generation family. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The outdoor basketball court allowed the youngest generation to run off more steam and the hot tub and outdoor bar allowed the other two generations to relax. Everything was exactly as portrayed in the listing. Fun place!

My parents and a few friends stayed at The Charmer. It is very close to all the attractions but yet far away from the busy streets in a quite neighborhood. We attended a wedding reception that ended up being only 5 minutes away! I would recommend for families or even a girls getaway!

We had a great stay at the Point Loma Charmer. It was our home away from home with all the amenities and more. The location is great, close to all the highlights but away from the big city crowds and noises, guaranteeing a great nights sleep. I highly recommend this property.
