Tourmaline House: Walk to Beach & Restaurants, Fenced Yard, EV Charger, Bikes
The Tourmaline House is the charming beach getaway you've been looking for. It's a real house, lovingly landscaped, with a grassy backyard to relax in after a day of San Diego exploration. We are located in Pacific Beach, just a 1000ft (300m) walk to the beach. Walk or take one of our bikes to explore the boardwalk, bay, shops and restaurants without the need of a car. With top-quality furnishings, an enclosed backyard retreat, and amenities like bikes, high speed internet for work and streaming, baby items and beach gear, all included – you will find privacy and retreat from the hustle and bustle when it's time to chill.
We can accommodate up to 8 guests and 2 dogs in our home. The entire house is wheelchair accessible, and we've had several handicapped guests to date. We don't have AC. Photos in the listing were taken in 2023.
Have an electric vehicle? We now offer our guests the convenience of charging at home. Just let us know you want to charge your car ahead of arrival, and bring your own cable to use our 240volt plug in the garage for a $20/night charging fee. The EV charging fee is an extra, and it is due before arrival.
The Master Suite is a luxurious retreat with a King size bed, two closets, smart TV and an indulgent large bathroom finished in travertine and glass tile. A dual sink vanity separates the spacious walk-in shower on the right from the enclosed toilet on the left. There is enough space in front of the bed to add a pack’n’play and easily walk around.
The Queen Bedroom is next to the Master Suite and sleeps 2 in a queen bed. The Kid’s Bedroom sleeps 4 guests in 2 twin over twin bunk beds. A large full bath on the hall has a real Jacuzzi. A separate area has a dual sink vanity.
Enjoy full access to a stocked kitchen, enclosed grassy backyard with propane grill, parking for 2 cars. Beach gear is included: chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, cooler plus 2 bikes, beach wagon and scooter. We also have a portable crib and a baby chair.
The house sits just 2 blocks off the beach (Tourmaline Surf Park), a 5 minute walk. This part of the beach is the north end of Pacific Beach, a local's paradise, as the tourist crowds concentrate further South.
A 3 minute walk from the house you'll find Turquoise St, with a grocery store and numerous shops and restaurants. You will also be equally close to cute cafes and restaurants on Cass St. Easily reachable on bike are the beach boardwalk and Garnet Avenue, the center of the beach nightlife.
We also have a 3-bedroom town home in Pacific Beach available. Please check out the Felspar Townhome, VRBO listing #295172

About the host
Hosted by Juliana Raposo
I am a visual artist and mother of 3 beach-loving kids. Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I moved to San Diego in 2003 and fell in love with this wonderful city. Other thing I enjoy is telling people about all the cool things San Diego has to offer.
Why they chose this property
Pacific Beach is the best! The most fun beach neighboorhood, far less expensive than La Jolla, much more interesting and functional than Mission Beach. The beautiful Sail Bay is also nearby and you can easily include it in your bike ride. A variety of restaurants and shopping are all within walking distance. It is also the epicenter of San Diego's beach nightlife. For all this, PB is the perfect laid-back beach location and spares you the driving. All other main San Diego attractions are within short distance. The Tourmaline House stands out in the neighborhood as one of a few brand-new single-family homes in walking proximity to the beach. The minute I drove by and saw the new construction work, I called my realtor and made an offer! So glad I got it: )
What makes this property unique
Comfortable. New. Modern. Our home and furnishings are top grade and guests love this! They tell me 'This is so much better then what we had last summer'... Add to this a fantastic location and an enclosed grassy backyard. I don't know of any other beach house that can even compare...
