About this property
San Diego Swimming Pool on Stunning Canyon in Hillcrest Mission Hills -Walkable!
Modern Urban Retreat, Perfect Central Location
Freshly renovated pool 2023 (Even better than before!).
This home is perfect for visitors of San Diego who want to stay very close to all of the city’s major attractions (San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park with museums and theaters, Sea World, downtown Gaslamp district, beaches) and be within walking distance to numerous restaurants and bars, while still having the option to chill by a large pool and fire pit in a canyon setting. Also just 14 mins to the airport or beach!
Description:
The Space The property offers a mix of traditional and modern architecture, with contemporary amenities and a zen front garden with water fountain that is frequently visited by hummingbirds and dragonflies. San Diego’s famously perfect weather all year-round lends itself well to outdoor living every month of the year. The pool patio with deck above a canyon features a large swimming pool, a fire pit with comfortable seating area, landscaping, and a dining table and grill for barbecuing on those many warm Southern California evenings. A truly magical location to enjoy sunset. This home is a rare find in the densely populated urban center of San Diego, where large canyon-side pools are very hard to find.
The house itself sleeps 6 adults in maximum comfort (extra children can also be accommodated with air beds). It offers one master bedroom with King-sized ultra-plush bed and en-suite bathroom (with two person shower) upstairs and two bedrooms (one with medium-firm Queen-sized bed and one with two TwinXL memory-foam beds that can be converted into one true king bed) downstairs. There is a modern bathroom with large jetted tub/shower combination and luxurious European hardware conveniently located between the two downstairs bedrooms. All bedrooms are appointed with high-thread-count sheets, high-end mattresses, and luxurious towels. The gourmet contemporary kitchen features a 6-burner Dacor dual-fuel range, top-of-the-line Bosch dishwasher, microwave/convection oven, large 42" French-door refrigerator and is stocked with plates, glasses, silverware, pots & pans, and anything else that you might need for a meal cooked and enjoyed at home. The dining room table comfortably seats 8 people. We hope that you will enjoy the living room with its modern furniture, a 52” TV & surround sound audio with Cable access, and lovely view of the beautiful pool area (pool can be heated at additional cost). The long driveway along the side of the house can easily accommodate three cars. Additionally there is a washer/dryer hidden in the kitchen. WiFi access throughout the property facilitates 50Mbps internet access.
The Neighborhood The home is located on a small street in San Diego’s Hillcrest/Mission Hills residential neighborhood. Hillcrest’s lively, diverse, and eclectic center with countless restaurants and bars is about a 10-minute walk away. We are located 1.3 miles from beautiful Balboa Park with close to 20 museums, gardens, and theaters, 2 miles from the San Diego Zoo, 3.8 miles from San Diego’s famous downtown Gaslamp district with bars, restaurants and shops, 5.8 miles from Sea World, 3.6 miles from the airport, and 6 – 8 miles from some of the city’s most beautiful beaches. The nearest grocery store is less than a 10-minute walk away from the house.

Wonderfull home, pool and kitchen are amazing. Communication with owner was great and helpful. It was a short ditance to everything we wanted, seaworld, zoo, and beach. I would highly recommend this place and would stay again
We all loved the property. It was set up very well with everything you would need for a family gathering. The pool is excellent and it was worth the costs to heat the pool. I love the neighborhood and the
Great family vacation getaway. Centrally located for most activities. Pool is amazing which created lots of great memories and fun. Property manager was always available for anything needed. I would definitely consider going back next year. Thank you for a great experience.
Lovely property with hardwood and tile floors. Thoughtfully decorated and an excellent location for getting downtown or onto the I-5 highway. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking, a plentiful larder and clean bathroom plus pool/beach towels. Short walk to local Ralph's grocery store and take-out/restaurants. Parking for 2 cars and Host Jesse was friendly when reached out to and quickly resolved an issue with the wifi modem. The pool was a highlight for the kids and we also enjoyed BBQ & s'mores in the well lit and furnished back yard. Plenty of room for a family of five, we really enjoyed our stay.
Jesse was awesome. The property is just like the title says AMAZING! We had a great time. The pool and fire pit were definitely our favorite places to gather. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.
Had a great stay with family. The pool was heaven and I’m glad I requested to have it heated. The home is nicely appointed, clean and the beds were comfy. Jesse our host was easy to work with and very gracious. Would love to return some day.
This is the perfect location! We were within minutes of almost every place we wanted to visit. The house was clean, had a great kitchen, and the backyard was incredible with the pool, grill/eating area, and firepit. I would highly recommwnd staying here.
The home and location are beautiful. The beds are comfortable. House is stocked with mostly anything you'd need.The pool was a bit chilly, so if you are sensitive to temps you may ask for it to be heated. I hate that we didn't do that. The pool cover has to be replaced at night and can be slightly cumberson. Overall-a wonderful stay!
Me and my friends enjoyed staying here for TwitchCon San Diego. The outdoor space, pool and other amenities were great place to unwind and relax between excursions into Hillcrest, the zoo and convention center. Ride-sharing was super easy from this location or a short walk to the grocery store and coffee shops nearby. Jesse was a great host, communicated well and accommodated our requests. I would definitely stay here again the next time I come to San Diego!
Had a great time and the main reason was the central location of the property and the amazing pool and view from the pool area.
The property was clean and met all of our needs. The management contact was engaged in responding to our questions and requests.
Me and my family, 4 adults and 2 kids had a great stay and a big part of that was the property.

San Diego Thanksgiving
The house worked great for (2) kids 8 & 10 and (4) Adults. Made Turkey and all of the fixings without issue. The kids used the pool every day.
Thanks
Our family (4 adults + 2 kids) had a wonderful time at this property. We loved the pool / outdoor area. We paid to heat the pool but worth it in November. Bedrooms were comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. Great neighborhood with many restaurants/coffee/grocery stores within 15 minutes walking distance. Check-in time is later than most, but we were driving in from Anaheim so not an issue for us. Only noise came from a few helicopters landing at a nearby hospital. Would definitely recommend!
We loved our stay. The house was a real gem. There was plenty of parking for 3 cars which was a huge plus and the house and kitchen were amazing. I will agree that this rental was one of the best stocked rentals I have ever stayed at which was a huge plus. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and the location is very close to a grocery store and lots of restaurants. My only regret is that I didn’t realize how cool it is in San Diego even in the summer and I didn’t opt to heat the pool so my kids thought it was too cold to swim.
House was better than described. Very comfortable for a family of four, but could easily accommodate six people. Layout of the house was open and inviting. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook a few meals. Keurig had plenty of pods for all of us,Front of the house had a bird fountain that did, in fact, attract a hummingbird among other birds. I don’t do yoga, but imagine the area by the fountain would be a perfectly tranquil place to do so.Weather was overcast much of our stay, so we didn’t use the back area as much as we would have liked, but it’s very spacious and comfortable.Beds were all comfortable, too. The lone TV in the living room was connected to a fantastic sound system, better than the one in our home.What else? Location of the house is also great. Walking distance, if so inclined, to two supermarkets, a CVS and plenty of restaurants. Balboa Park is maybe a 15-minute drive. Communication was prompt and friendly when we had a tiny issue that resolved on its own. Strong recommendation, and can’t wait to stay here again!
Had a great stay at this home! Super clean and no issues, whatsoever. The views were magical and our kids loved the pool. The pool is pretty deep so, if you have young swimmers, you may want to bring a life jacket. There were plenty of floaties/pool toys. The location was great- close to Balboa park, Fashion Valley, and innumerable restaurants.
Clean but homey feel. Our boys practically lived in the pool. Everything we needed was readily available & accessible. I'd give ten stars on each if we could.
Great vacation for me and 3 guys who came out to golf and just hang out. The pool/deck makes this property special with the view, gas fire, and overall size and comfort and the location was tremendous. Would recommend paying extra and heating the pool if you are looking to use that. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a spot to stay in SD!
House, pool, location were great. The house was clean with plenty of room. The pool and deck with the canyon view was a great place to chill. The location was close to the beach, old town, balboa park, and downtown. Also plenty of local restaurants within walking distance. Overall it was a great stay!!
Comfortable home with killer pool and canyon views
We had a great stay at Hillcrest. The property is clean and comfortable with well equipped kitchen and bedrooms - definitely much more than your average vacation rental. We spent almost all of our time in the pool or on the deck overlooking the canyon. It was incredibly relaxing and brilliantly located for everything San Diego has to offer like the Zoo, Old Town, and Gas Lamp District.
We would certainly stay there again.
Terrific location to head to all the sites. View from patio fantastic.

Why they chose this property
I remodeled this home to be a very well appointed luxury residence . Many many upgrades for the enthusiastic chef. The home has a tranquil vibe and amazing canyon/pool side experiences. BBQ and dine in a canyon at sunset in a resort like setting!

A truly magical location to enjoy sunset. This home is a rare find in the densely populated urban center of San Diego, where large canyon-side pools are very hard to find.
