About this property
Charming 3-bedroom house by Kate Sessions Park and 1.5 miles to Tourmaline Beach
Welcome to our peaceful home with stunning bay views. This family-friendly space has been lovingly cared for and is now open to guests for the first time.
The backyard is quiet, green, and full of life. A 75-year-old Brazilian pepper tree shades a handmade dining table, a koi pond adds a sense of calm, and a wood-fired pizza oven is ready for unforgettable nights. We can even arrange a private chef to cook for you (subject to availability). We've enjoyed yoga mornings, slow family breakfasts, evening book clubs, and plenty of quiet moments here.
Inside, the home is simple, soft, and thoughtfully designed. Blackout curtains, cozy beds, natural textures, and every detail was chosen with care.
If you value comfort, nature, and meaningful spaces, you’ll feel right at home. Butterflies often visit the garden—they always seem to know when they’ve found something special.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Katie O'Malley

We remodeled and used to live in this home and now live close and would like guest to be able to experience this special place.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood and possibly our properties used to be part of Kate Sessions nursery. She was an amazing horticulturalist who brought diverse plants to San Diego and transformed the landscape. It feels like you are in nature but close to all of the sites of San Diego you would want to visit. This property is a few blocks from La Jolla zip code but you can still access the freeway without much traffic.
What makes this property unique
This house has a very welcoming feel. It is charming and updated. Some of the windows are louvred so a fresh air can get in. The heat and A/C still keep the house at your desired temperature. The garden has mature fruit and berry trees that you are welcome to enjoy.
