Hidden Cozy bungalow close to DT, beaches, & base // pet-friendly //
Experience a beach getaway in our bright and stylish renovated bungalow-style studio near Downtown San Diego. Our studio is situated behind an iconic Craftsman home and features an open floor plan, beamed ceilings, queen size bed with a custom surfboard headboard, and a backyard patio with 2 lounge areas to enjoy some drinks. We are centrally located 1 block away from the freeway and the Naval base and 10 minutes away from the local sunny San Diego scene - breweries, restaurants, and attractions.
PLEASE NOTE: The studio is in the back of a multi-unit property - the driveway, carport and laundry are shared.
The narrow width of the driveway and carport may require some additional attention while driving in and out, therefore we only allow compact cars. It's important to note that there might be limited space for turning around, so if you have any concerns about parking or access, please contact me for further guidance.
Also note that this building is comprised of 2 back-to-back studios. While each studio is private and has its own separate entrance, they share a common wall and laundry area.
Rest assured, I strive to make your stay as convenient as possible. I understand that the narrow dimensions might not be suitable for everyone, particularly if you have a larger vehicle or are not comfortable with tight parking situations. However, if you're willing to accommodate these items, this private studio offers a comfortable and convenient home base for your visit.
Please reach out to me if you have any specific questions or concerns about the parking arrangements. I'm here to help make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Perfect little nook for a mom and her daughter and her daughter’s best friend. We loved the cute quirkiness of the place, and the ease of checking in and the location close to where we needed to be. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quick getaway!

Thank you for your lovely review! I'm delighted to hear that you and your daughter and her friend enjoyed the studio and found it conveniently located. I appreciate your recommendation and hope to host you again for your next getaway!
We had a great time staying at this beach bungalow. The space was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a nice and relaxing stay! Communication with our host was quick, polite, and always helpful. The location near downtown SF made it convenient to travel around to restaurants, museums, and even spend some time near the ocean! I would recommend this stay highly! Thank you, Rosy, for everything!

Happy to know that our bungalow met all of your needs! Hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
The outside space was ok, but inside was nice. The bed was comfortable. There is an annoying dog next door. Great location for attending a conference at the convention center (parking included)

Thank you for your feedback Jill. I'm glad you found the inside of the studio nice and the bed comfortable. I do apologize for the noise from the neighboring dog. It's great to hear the location worked well for your conference. I appreciate your comments and hope to improve your next stay.
Rosy was an excellent host! We had hiccups with our travel schedules, causing us to arrive a different times, and she was excellent in helping to make things as smooth as possible as we checked in and checked out. Very cute little unit. Worked great for what we needed for our weekend getaway.
We had a nice visit. The amenities were perfect for our stay. It was close to everything. The location was perfect that way, but not the best neighborhood, so just be smart about your surroundings if you are going to explore the neighborhood on foot. Otherwise perfect for us.

It was a pleasure hosting you and your family Michele. Merci beaucoup et à bientôt!
I had a very last minute change in plans and wasn't actually able to make it to the bungalow; Rosy was wonderful and responsive and was able to refund my cleaning fee despite the short notice.
Very nice place. Rosy was very accommodating and considerate. Driveway is a little tight but provides protection from the street which is good. 5 minute drive from work and about 15 minutes from nearly everything in San Diego. Would highly recommend for any party of 1 or 2 people.

It was a pleasure hosting you Luke. Thanks for your feedback and hope to host you again next time you're in San Diego.
The neighborhood is a bit sketchy for walking the dog. Once the car was in the carport and the door closed behind us it was a very nice place to be. No gate to keep the dog in the patio/yard area. Weird valves in the shower, I never did figure it out…
Rosy was very responsive! The patio had flies (probably due to pets) and she immediately had it cleaned so that I could work outside. The bed could be a bit more comfortable as I sank in a bit on the left side. Other than that, everything was perfect and I will definitely return when I come back to the area! I felt safe and had what I needed!
