Lovely beach house

Stayed here with our three kids 9 and under for a week. We walked to the beach several times, and the house was in close range to everything else during our stay. The neighborhood was very quiet, and everyone we met on walks was friendly. House had everything we needed, and we made good use of the boogie boards. Would definitely return!

San Diego Oasis

If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay in the PB area with your family, this is it! It’s walking distance to the beach and a ton of coffee shops and restaurants. The house was stocked with everything you could possibly need and we were surprised how quiet it was at night. With a teen and a toddler it can be hard to accommodate both their needs but this house managed to do just that. Since we have a toddler we spent many evenings having dinner on the patio and spending quality time together in the cozy living room. We were able to walk down and see the sunset and even got a few evening bike rides in. Would also recommend checking out La Jolla and you’re only a few hours from LA. Rowena was THE nicest host and checked in during our stay to make sure check in went smoothly and if there was anything we needed. 10/10 recommend!

Rowena was one of the best hosts we have ever met. Her responsiveness was amazing. With a fully stacked place, there was very little left to purchase or obtain upon arrival. The location is fabulous and very close to food, restaurants and the beach. I would recommend this place.

Great place near beach

We had a great stay at this property. A slight hiccup checking in, but Rowena was quick to respond and always available during our stay whenever we had questions. The property was clean and well-appointed and near the northern end of Pacific Beach which was clean and relatively quiet during our stay. Though it was windy and the water too cold for us to take advantage, there were boogie boards and plenty of beach gear for use, as well as bikes for cruising. We highly recommend this place.

San Diego get away

My two teenagers were so surprised to walk into the rental and find a beautiful fruit basket waiting for us. After a long drive, it was very welcome. Rowena is a gracious host. We ha trouble getting the fire pit to work and she came over within minutes of us calling her. Everything was nice a clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The location was also great (Close to the beach) and other San Diego attractions. Also in very nice nieghborhood. I highly recommend this property.

Great place to stay in PB

Rowena's place was wonderful and I would stay there again. Rowena was very responsive to questions and small problems that came up. A microwave malfunctioned and she brought a replacement in almost immediately. She also made sure 4 bikes were in working order when I inquired. We really enjoyed being able to bike around the area. My son was also able to find a wetsuit and surfboard to fit him! We found everything we needed. We loved using the yard and especially the fire pit. The website does need to be updated with some new information, but that is not a big deal. There was no longer a usable outside shower and no jetpack deal any more (which my son had been excited about doing). The pandemic has changed some things. The pictures probably need to be updated as there are changes to furnishings, but that is a minor issue. The place was clean and lovely and we really had a great time. Thank you for your hospitality!

Perfect place to stay!

Our family stayed at Rowena’s property this past weekend, and all I can say is, wow! Perfect location close to the beach and everything you’d want to do in PB. The check-in process was easy, the house was sparkling clean and welcoming, the outdoor space was lovely, all in all we could not have asked for more. Rowena was a lovely and responsive host who answered our questions thorougly and thoughfully. Thank you for a wonderful family vacation! The Hickman Family

The kitchen was stocked as advertised (I have stayed at VR that advertise full kitchen and was not able to cook) This kitchen had everything you could possibly need : ) Thank you. The owner and staff were incredibly nice. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely beach home.

Perfect little home away from home!

It was super easy to ask questions of Rowena & she was super helpful about all the many items she has at the cottage for guests use as well as neighborhood tips & parking directions...and more! Couches comfy to rest after sightseeing & beds comfy with nice bedding for a good nights sleep. If you wanted to cook, the kitchen had everything you need. North Pacific Beach is centrally located and only 15 min away from the city, pier, La Jolla & our other destinations, plus the best place to watch surfers. The only problem was the lack of sunshine which was out of her control! Lol If we are back in San Diego again we’ll definitely try to book it again!

Awesome visit to San Diego

My husband and I traveled to San Diego for the first time with 2 of our adult children. The house was spacious enough for the four of us. Rowena was an awesome host. She responded to me in a timely manner and even allowed a late check out. The house was in a perfect location. It was close to major attractions and was exactly as the pictures portrayed. It was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The front courtyard was a great place to relax in the morning. The beds in both bedrooms were super comfortable and even the towels were fluffy, not your typical rental linens. The washer and dryer were an added bonus. The garage had everything you needed for spending time at the beach which is within walking distance, but we decided to drive instead. There is also a fire pit in the backyard that was nice to use on some of the chilly nights. I would highly recommend staying at this gem of a property. Thank you Rowena for being such a great host and allowing us to share your home.

Better than Advertised

This home has everything you could ever need and some things you didn't know you needed! Rowena was fantastic to work with and more than willing to give suggestions or advice regarding all kinds of things in the area. The house is well maintained and was perfect for our family. Visiting the zoo, Sea World, Petco Park or the beach were easy. A short drive into the city or a few block walk to the beach. The extra thought and care Rowena puts in to sharing her home is unparalleled in any VRBO I've ever stayed in (which has been many over the last 14 years).

About the host

Hosted by Rowena

I grew up surfing and playing all along PB, La Jolla and Del Mar, and always dreamed of owning my own beach house...now it's my neighborhood!

Why they chose this property

The location is amazing, in a quiet neighborhood with fabulous neighbors, and close to everything -- just park the car, then walk everywhere! Being close to the water without dealing with the crowds and surrounded by locals makes this a win-win location.

I get up early in the mornings and walk to The French Gourmet for fresh chocolate croissants to savor with coffee on the patio when everyone wakes up. Latitudes is a fun "locals" hang out just around the corner for philly cheesesteaks, watching sports with friends and a few games on a pool table. For dinner, walk a couple blocks to Enoteca Adriano for some of the best Italian food in San Diego! We also walk to The Fishery for fresh fish filets to grill for dinner back home. The best evening? A quick stroll to the beach to catch a sunset and maybe a glimpse of the green flash - haven't seen one yet, but I keep trying!

What makes this property unique

Did I mention there's a private yard and two patios for enjoying our fantastic SoCal weather? It looks small from the outside, but is surprisingly comfortable and 'big enough' inside, with privacy and quiet that can be rare in a beach community.

This isn't a typical rental -- it's furnished like a home, with custom furnishings and original artwork, so you can relax and get comfortable immediately.

There's also a one-car garage for your car because you won't need it once you're settled ... everything you need is walking or biking distance away.

I also provide beach cruisers bikes, surf boards, boogie boards, even a few wetsuits in a couple of sizes. And since I live nearby and like to stay here as often as I can, I keep it well stocked. I can also loan items from my other house as needed to fill your requests.
