About Dove Braunstein
I have been a San Diego resident for fifteen years now and absolutely LOVE my city. I want the world to get to experience the beautiful place I call home!
I love the SoCal lifestyle; am into fitness, animals, and travel-- although no matter what amazing places in the world I may visit, I love to come home. There is nothing like the San Diego sunshine!
I believe in leaving the world better than we found it, spreading joy and loving one another.
Dove Braunstein purchased this cottage in 2013
Why Dove Braunstein chose San Diego
I fell in love with these cottages on sight. Walking by them, we saw that they were for sale and knew that they would make a delightful vacation rental. Old Town is such a hot spot in San Diego and there isn't much in the way of a residential area, much less vacation rentals. What better location than the heart of one of the most vibrant, highly visited destinations in San Diego!? The beautiful, lush property sits hidden amongst brilliant bougainvillea and tropical landscaping, and steps away from some of the best Mexican food in San Diego!
What makes this cottage unique
Parking in Old Town? Unheard of! A designated spot in the driveway is yours!
A private patio area in back allows you to enjoy the balmy weather, dine alfresco, or just relax in the San Diego sun.
Wonderfully upgraded throughout, this cottage has recently had substantial renovations, including a new kitchen, remodeled bathroom, water filtration system, eliminating the need to constantly be buying water! (The icemaker in the freezer is also plumbed to the water filter!) All new furniture, paint, and appliances!

Wonderful!

Perfect!
This rental was perfect! The location was a couple minute walk to the heart of Old Town. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The kitchen appears to be recently renovated. The bed was comfortable, great water pressure in the shower. And the off-street parking was a must for that area! The outside area, while small, was large enough for our dogs to do their business. It wraps around most of the cottage. I loved that Dove and Joan had a bowl of water, dog treats and a dog bed for our two pooches. They are really very thoughtful (Joan and Dove that is….although are dogs can be thoughtful too LOL)
We had car trouble and did not arrive on the first night of our stay. As no one had reserved the cottage for the day of our departure Dove and Joan very generously offered the cottage to us for an additional night to make up for the night we missed. They really go above and beyond for their guests. We would definitely stay here again!
Best experience!!'
Location, location...location! Close to everything! Sea world - 8 min, Coronado - 12 min and everything else!
Clean, nice and wonderful! Joan greeted us and made is feel right at home! Will be back!
Amazing spot near everything!
The cottage was so amazing. It was right in the perfect spot in Old Town where we could walk to many different stores and restaurants. The house was very clean and it made myself, my wife, and our 2 dogs feel right at home. I will definitely be coming back to this cottage when we come back and visit SD.
Top notch vacation rental--spacious and well-appointed.
Our hosts provided such considerate personal attention that we felt very comfortable in our new environment. The cottage was perfect in every way and there wasn't one thing missing and many things that we wouldn't have expected such as beach toys and towels. The setting in Old Town was unique and close to many interesting tourist attractions but the local tavern and restaurant owners also appreciated repeat business and I felt "part of the family" when mentioning our host as she eats in the places she recommends to guests. Super service wherever we went locally. The proximity to the transit station was also notable and the hosts provided reloadable cards to make using transit easy and worry-free. We also had an assigned parking spot if necessary, another bonus in this busy area. We just loved it!
Super time in Old Town!!!!!! April 15-22- 2017
Our 2nd stay with Joan and Dove at there cottage in Old Town- Fantastic!!!!! You know they are some remarkable ladies, they go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, there cottage is super clean, brand new gas grill, great little yard with plenty of seating and you have your own private off the street parking spot ,which in Old Town is PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!. The shops the restaurants,the State Park, the Old Town Trolley, Old Town has it all and it's all at your finger tips, because the cottage is so well located you only have a short walk to anything and everything you could want or need. Joan and Dove your the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!. Thanks Dee and Terry
Great location, great house, great hosts
We are making plans to go back. Old Town is awesome and Old Public was cool neighbors. Dove and Joan worked with us on logistics and pet friendly options. Secluded but in the
Middle of Old Town.
