About this property

The Family Beach House

Our San Diego property is located in the lovely neighborhood of Pacific Beach, just two blocks from the beach and two blocks from Mission Bay. It is ideal for families, retirees, and young couples alike with it having an enclosed back yard (good for the little ones) with a brand new BBQ, lawn chairs for telling stories, as well as a lemon tree! The property has a driveway with a private gate for two vehicles as well as street parking available-- a huge plus for summertime in this popular San Diego beachside suburb. This property is within walking distance (3 minutes or less) of not only the beach but many popular restaurants, bars, coffee/ice cream shops, Garnet street shopping, and a grocery store! Our neighborhood is quiet but close to fun so we ask our renters to be respectful of our wonderful neighbors who live in the area year around. The house was built in the 1950's when Pacific Beaches' palm tree lined streets were made of sand so it has an old feel charm which we LOVE! There is cable, smart TV, a DVD player, & WIFI internet access, AND washer/dryer in home. Shower towels provided.

Kitchen: Refrigerator, Oven/Stovetop, Microwave, Dishwasher, Toaster, NutriBullet (for blending shakes/smoothies), Plates, Bowls, Utensils, Basic Cooking Utensils, Measuring Cups, Can Opener

Home Layout: Kitchen, Living room/Dining area seats up to 10 (w/ table extenders in back closet), Master Bedroom (King Bed), Bedroom 2 (Queen bed), Bedroom 3 goes to outdoor patio (Queen Bed), 1 Queen size blow-up mattresses (please let me know if there is ever a problem with blow-up mattresses), Outdoor Patio with dining seating and grill, medium sized backyard with fruit tree, grass.

There is a private studio above the private garage in the back of the home. This studio is occupied by the owners daughter and son-in-law. They maintain the property, are very quiet, and there to answer any questions if needed! There is a privacy fence separating the studio, as well as a separate entrance to the studio so backyard is for private use of VRBO guests during stay.

San Diego Pacific Beach Home
This home was located very central to Pacific Beach and to the north end of the Mission Bay. We had 5 adults stay here and it was comfortable- basically most of what your shopping and eateries ( and the beach) are within easy walking distance.

Cute and convenient beach house
Cute and cozy 3 bedroom home that was perfectly sized for our family of 4. The beautiful and large backyard is an added bonus to the close proximity to both the beach and the bay. There are lots of food options nearby (including a grocery store) and you could easily spend time here without driving if you really wanted to just have a beach trip. Our kids loved playing with toys and games inside and in the backyard when we weren't exploring. We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves back in San Diego!

About the host

Host profile image
Hello! My name is Jess and my mom, Sue, is the owner of this wonderful beachside cottage and has owned it since 2011. We have celebrated so many wonderful family holidays and long sunny weekends in it! We rent the front house out year around. My mom has six daughters and she knows the value of a wonderful vacation for a family in a spectacular location. We are originally from a small town called Verdi, NV nestled in the mountains between Lake Tahoe and Reno, Nevada. Since my mom is a grandma to 7 incredible grand babies so far, she spends much of her time up North visiting all of the little ones and resides in Reno, Nevada. This being said we are so happy to welcome you into this wonderful place and now give you a place to call home for your stay in gorgeous San Diego, California.

Why they chose this property

This property is not just a house to us, it is a home where so many memories have been made over the years. Originally we owned a time share on Ocean Front Walk and had been coming to San Diego for years. As time went by we realized how wonderful it would be to have a place with an enclosed backyard, room to breath, and a private driveway in the beautiful neighborhood that we are in now. The Braemar District, where the home is located, was previously owned by the Scripps family. A condition of the sale was to make the 4 block radius behind the Catamaran hotel remain as single family homes. Since then, our little neighborhood has lived up to that regulation and is loved by so many in Pacific Beach. We hope to keep this home in the family for generations to come, while providing a beautiful and affordable vacation location for small to large families of travelers like yourself!

What makes this property unique

Our home has so much natural light coming in through the many white shutters that surround the living room, and it makes it feel so spacious and beachy. The all whites and sliding windows give the room a crisp and clean look, functional and beautiful. Also, the wood floors make it easy to clean sand up if you bring it in from the beach!
