About this property
Charming cottage in North Park
We love our cottage but of course our opinion is biased. Please click on 'Reviews' for unbiased opinions.
That said... North Park is a lively and fun community. Walk to hip restaurants, cafes, wine bars, brew pubs, shops and fitness centers. We are 2 blocks and a 5 minute walk to Balboa Park's Morley Field where you will find hiking and running trails, a community pool, tennis, golf, an athletic complex, picnic areas, bike track, bocci court, tiny tots play area, and more. A bit farther into the park are the zoo and many museums -- still walking distance or a short ride. You will be 5-10 minutes from downtown hot spots -- Gaslamp, Seaport Village, Little Italy, Convention Center. Only 10 minutes to Coronado Island, a world class destination with beautiful, expansive white sand beaches. Seaworld is about 15 minutes via nearby highway, and easy access to the San Diego Zoo, museums and literally dozens of local restaurants and bars. Balboa Park measuring approximately 1.5 x 1.5 miles and 1200 acres in size, it is one of the largest urban parks in the country and is 2 blocks away.
Built in 1911, our 105 year old stable has been converted to a charming and comfortable 2 bedroom cottage complete with all the amenities of home.
Here are just a few:
Full kitchen with all the utensils needed to prepare a gourmet meal. Heated tile floors in the bathroom and a new walk in shower, hair dryer, quality shampoo and body wash, plenty of plush towels. Queen-size bed with memory foam mattress top (you will this see mentioned in our guest reviews.) Twin bed in the back bedroom and a full open closet, with a separate laundry room with front load washer and dryer and detergents. Broadband internet access with WIFI and a printer/scanner. HD Cable TV, Blu-ray player, Netflix, Pandora web browser & Bose Speaker to play your music from your iPhone, and more. Private fenced in patio with stainless steel 3-burner BBQ where you can relax after the day's explorations with a glass of wine, while being soothed by the rippling sounds of a water fountain that continually flows.
There are endless amazing restaurants in San Diego, but if you find you want to cook in one night, we have an herb garden full of rosemary, sage and thyme as well a beautiful lemon tree outside the cottage, there for your pleasure in picking fresh herbs for your culinary delights.
Our neighborhood is one of the most desired in North Park and is comprised of many welcoming and friendly neighbors and is quiet, yet a short walk to lively nightlife. You also have ample street parking in front of the cottage.
We hope to see you on your next trip to San Diego!!
