About this property

2 bd w/ yard in heart of Old Town-- WE LOVE PETS! Check our Insta @oldtownvacay

This adorable two-bedroom cottage has a delightful-- and very secure-- front yard for your four-legged companion(s) to feel right at home, as well as a roomy back area for al fresco dining or just relaxing amongst the foliage.
The cottage is in the heart of all the excitement, history, heritage, and charm of Old Town San Diego, just far enough removed to be a quiet, secluded retreat. Private and tropical, this darling cottage is located in the center of the birthplace of San Diego, walking distance from a plethora of delicious restaurants, quaint and eclectic shopping, Old Town State Historic Park, all in a fun and lively authentic Mexican atmosphere loaded with history.
Visit many FREE museums that explore some of the mysterious legends of early San Diego, offering tours of original historical sites, haunted tours, and more! In addition, you will discover Mariachi shows, music, dancers, live outdoor theatre performances and more surprises as you explore the streets of Old Town on foot.
Close proximity to beaches, Sea World, downtown, San Diego zoo, Coronado, and more-- this property is central to all! The Old Town trolley offers a delightful tour of America's Finest City and departs just two blocks away.
San Diego has some of the best public transit in the country, and the public transit depot is less than a half mile away with access to city buses, light rail, Amtrak, and the Coaster, San Diego's own train commuter which travels north and south along the coast. With eight stations between downtown San Diego and Oceanside, it provides breathtaking scenery while allowing guests to explore North San Diego County. Renting a car during your vacation is entirely optional!
Cottage features two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with a double bed. Wall-mounted TVs, heat and air conditioning, full upgraded bath with oversized shower, queen-size foldout sofa in living room, completely upgraded kitchen with dishwasher, coffee station, and microwave. Well stocked with everything you need for cooking in if you choose!
Relax with a glass of wine and a book in your enclosed front yard surrounded by California's brilliant bougainvillea, or have a barbecue in the back with your Weber grill.
Also included is one OFF-street parking spot! Please let us know if you’re bringing a second vehicle and we’ll try to accommodate. For folks traveling with small children, we can provide a high chair and a pack and play. High speed residential WIFI is included, of course, as well as hundreds of cable channels. PLEASE NOTE: As we do have a very welcoming pet policy, please advise us ahead of time of any allergies or sensitivities so that we are able to make sure you are comfortable. Cottages are meticulously cleaned after each stay; however, some severe allergies can still be affected by the past presence of animals, so we will do what we can to remove any allergen before your stay. Thanks!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Host profile image
I have been a San Diego resident for close to 20 years now and absolutely LOVE my city. I would love the entire world to have the chance to experience the beautiful place I call home-- even better if they do so from our cottages! :)
I live & love the SoCal lifestyle; am into fitness, animals, and travel-- although no matter what amazing places in the world I may visit, I always love to come home. There is nothing like the San Diego sunshine!
My mother and I manage these cottages with joy; it is a pleasure working together with my mom on something we love so much!
I believe in leaving the world better than we found it, spreading joy and loving one another.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with these precious cottages on sight. Walking by them, we saw that they were for sale and knew that they would make for delightful vacation rentals. Old Town is one of the most visited destinations 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, sought after hot spots in San Diego? The beautiful, lush property sits hidden amongst brilliant bougainvillea and tropical landscaping, and though you are steps away from all kinds of activities as well as some of the best Mexican food in San Diego, you're also tucked just enough away to feel a true sense of quiet & privacy.

What makes this property unique

One of few residences in central Old Town. You could spend your entire vacation without getting into a car if you so choose! Public transit depot is just down the street and there is so much to do within steps of your door.
I fell in love with these cottages on sight, knew they would make wonderful vacation rentals, being so close to so much and right in the middle of San Diego's #1 tourist destination!
