About this property

Cottage near Sea World, Old Town, & Beaches

Welcome to San Diego; across from the University of San Diego. Full sized master bedroom and bath (with king sized bed), mid-sized bedroom/office with queen sized bed; and a newly build (March 2024) third bedroom (two full sized beds); Airy windows; light-filled room; rooms have blinds that darken it very well.

Very comfortable, quiet household environment. Hardwood floor with cozy family room.

Great location in San Diego, 3.5 mile bike ride to Mission Beach along Mission Bay bike trail. 3.5 miles to downtown; Sea World 2 miles (this is the perfect place to stay for a small family visiting SD for a trip to Sea World); to La Jolla: 10 miles; Balboa Park: 3.5 miles; 35 minutes to Legoland! Disneyland: 90 minutes/mi. Trolley stop and route is across the road; 1/4 mile from my house.

It is a quiet street in a fun neighborhood that serves USD students. Starbucks is near the trolley stop. Golf is literally across the street, along with the YMCA. Just down the road is Fashion Valley for shopping and Old Town for sightseeing—all within walking distance.

Guests have exclusive access to the entire home. Additionally, they have access to the washer and dryer, which are located in the garage.

I’ll be available during the day and into the early evening for questions or issues that pop up. Just send me a message.

Silver Terrace is the little-known name of this small neighborhood just south of the University of San Diego. It is a very centrally located one just minutes from numerous highly popular destinations such as: Sea World, Mission Bay Park, Mission Beach, Old Town, Downtown, Fashion Valley Mall and La Jolla. Within a 10 minute walk you'll be within range of a trolley stop, multiple coffee shops, brewery tasting room, numerous restaurants, and a YMCA.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room and comfortable beds for everyone. Nice, quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Relatively close to many attractions & freeway access. Off street parking was a bonus and one of the reasons we chose this location. Expectations for checkout were minimal, which was a pleasant surprise. We would stay here again.

We were on a family vacation. We were very comfortable and so glad the bedrooms are air conditioned. The host, Jimmy, was easy to reach. The location was close to every place we wanted to go. The description says the washer and dryer are in the garage, but they are inside the house, which is a plus. Yes, we would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by James Morrison

Host profile image
I love to travel, and when I first started hosting as a young, single professional in my early 30s, it was a great way to subsidize that passion. Now, I'm a little older, have a family of my own, and a few gray hairs to boot. My traveling habit has unfortunately been reduced as time commitments pile up. So now, this service helps me provide for my family while still allowing me to meet new people from other parts of the world.

As a host, I like to give my guests their space but can be available at a moment's notice (I live 5 minutes away).

I look forward to continuing my vacation rentals to meet new people and share our experiences.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property because I was familiar with the neighborhood and it's central location.

Since I've purchase the property I've made many upgrades to it including the following: new flooring, crown molding, brand new bathrooms, and a new mantle piece. I hope you enjoy all the upgrades.

What makes this property unique

I would say the main benefit to this house is it's proximity to so many wonderful attractions San Diego has to provide. One could argue that it is located in the heart of San Diego.

Additionally, it's near the trolley line (5 minute walk) and the neighbors are super friendly.
