PEACEFUL, NEAR SDSU, CENTRAL with LG PATIO, FULL KITCHEN, COZY BEDS, GATED HOME

Your Perfect San Diego Base: Style, Comfort, and Local Charm Imagine escaping the heavy tourist crowds and checking into your own private, stylish retreat. Located in a quiet, peaceful pocket of San Diego, 6169 Thorn Street is designed to feel instantly like home—combining quiet neighborhood living with effortless access to the very best of Southern California. Here is what your stay will look like:

Morning: Coffee, Sunshine, and Lakeside Trails Your day starts with a peaceful morning in a bright, inviting space. Pour a hot cup of coffee and look outside—just to the right of the home, you’ll see a quiet local playground, setting a calm, neighborhood vibe for the day ahead. Ready for some fresh air? You don't have to drive to find nature. Head just 5 minutes down the road to Chollas Lake. Take a morning walk or jog beneath the towering eucalyptus trees, watch the ducks glide across the water, and enjoy a quiet, sun-drenched sanctuary that mostly locals know about.

Afternoon: Mid-Day Adventures & Retail Therapy When you're ready to pick up the pace, your central location makes exploring effortless:Local Convenience: Need to stock up on snacks, drinks, or vacation essentials? Local shopping centers and great neighborhood restaurants are just 3 minutes away.

Within a quick 15-to-20-minute drive, you can be wandering the stunning plazas of Balboa Park, meeting the wildlife at the San Diego Zoo, or walking the lively streets of downtown.

Late Afternoon: Coastal Vibrancy Because San Diego is all about the water, you can easily transition from urban exploring to coastal bliss. Head out to the coast for a late afternoon walk along the bay, dip your toes in the Pacific, or catch a world-famous California sunset over the water before heading back inland.

Evening: A Restful, Sophisticated Sanctuary After a full day of sights, stadium events, or coastal sunshine, returning to Thorn Street is the best part of the evening. Leave the city noise behind and pull into your quiet retreat.Fire up the kitchen to cook a fresh meal, gather the family or friends in the cozy living space, and unwind in a beautifully designed environment. As you sink into a comfortable bed in a quiet neighborhood, you can rest easy knowing you're perfectly rested to do it all over again tomorrow.Your San Diego story is ready to begin. Book your stay at Thorn Street today!

Our gardeners come by every other Saturday at approximately 8:00 AM. They only work outdoors, but you may hear lawn equipment for a brief period."

We stayed here for the NASCAR Race and San Diego Zoo. We were close to everything! The only thing I would note is there isn’t a/c in the master bedroom. We used a fan that was in the closet to keep it cool. The house was a nice size for our family, outdoor space was great.

Thank you for staying with us at Casita Diego! We are thrilled our location worked out so well for your trips to the NASCAR race and the San Diego Zoo, and that your family enjoyed the home and outdoor space. We appreciate your feedback regarding the master bedroom as well! While the main house cooling and fans keep the home comfortable for most, we always want our guests to be as cool as possible. We’re glad the closet fan did the trick for you, and we’ll be sure to keep extra cooling options on hand for future stays. We’d love to host your family again the next time you're in San Diego!"

We had a great time in San Diego and coming back to this house made it better to relax.. the back yard was spacious and inviting to relax with my family and friends. The owner communicated very well and responded fast. The backyard only needed some spider web clean up. But other than that we would recommend this house ..

Gary was great to work with and the property was quite nice. Gary was accommodating in so many ways and we appreciated him much!My one feedback would be the lack of supplies in the kitchen. The property lists for 8, but there were only 4 forks in the kitchen. This was consistent with other dishes and utensils. There was also a lack of dishcloths, which made clean up hard. Otherwise it was a wonderful property!
