The Staycation We Needed!!!!!
We desperately needed a quick getaway from it all and this was the PERFECT place for us all!! I surprised my wife, daughter and our doggy with a Valentine’s Night staycation at this super cute little cottage in Old Town and it was the peaceful, beautiful serenity that we needed!! We cooked in the full kitchen and it everything we needed! We hopped over to Liberty Station for groceries at Vons and then spent the evening listening to music on the TV and just enjoying the place. The backyard area is so cute and our doggy was able to roam freely and safely x they have a BBQ and multiple tables/chairs in the wraparound enclosed backyard/side yard space! Miss Joan was a wonderful host and helped us with anything we needed and communicated with us promptly whenever we had a question or need. She was so loving with our doggy and we all just felt right at home. This place has everything you need if you’re looking for a home away from home. Shower, Washer/Dryer, BBQ, Dishwasher, Cable TV, WIFI, linens, towels, extra pillows/bedding, pots/pans, et al. We can’t wait to get back here for a multiple day/night stay. Just SO cute and wonderful!!! Thanks Y’all!!!!! Love us some Old Town magic. 💚

Two weeks in San Diego wasn't enough😀
This cottage was roomy and was centrally located to many city sites and surrounded by restaurants and small shops. Transportation was two blocks away. The manager, Joan, was available & responded immediately to questions. We had a wonderful time and Joan makes it very pet friendly. We will try to return sometime.

About the host

Hosted by Dove Braunstein

Host profile image
I have been a San Diego resident for fifteen years now and absolutely LOVE my city. I want the world to get to experience the beautiful place I call home!
I love the SoCal lifestyle; am into fitness, animals, and travel-- although no matter what amazing places in the world I may visit, I love to come home. There is nothing like the San Diego sunshine!
I believe in leaving the world better than we found it, spreading joy and loving one another.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with these cottages on sight. Walking by them, we saw that they were for sale and knew that they would make a delightful vacation rental. Old Town is such a hot spot in San Diego and there isn't much in the way of a residential area, much less vacation rentals. What better location than the heart of one of the most vibrant, highly visited destinations in San Diego!? The beautiful, lush property sits hidden amongst brilliant bougainvillea and tropical landscaping, and steps away from some of the best Mexican food in San Diego!

What makes this property unique

Parking in Old Town? Unheard of! A designated spot in the driveway is yours!
A private patio area in back allows you to enjoy the balmy weather, dine alfresco, or just relax in the San Diego sun.
Wonderfully upgraded throughout, this cottage has recently had substantial renovations, including a new kitchen, remodeled bathroom, water filtration system, eliminating the need to constantly be buying water! (The icemaker in the freezer is also plumbed to the water filter!) All new furniture, paint, and appliances!
