Bright and Quirky Hillcrest Craftsman

Summary:
COMPLETELY REVAMPED AS OF AUGUST 2023! Funky & vivacious, this dog-friendly 2 bedroom craftsman is centrally-located. Set between Hillcrest and Mission Hills, our location is walkable to countless coffee shops, restaurants, and bars. We are a short drive to Downtown, Gaslamp District, Balboa Park, SD Zoo, Midway, and Coronado. This charming house is perfect for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and your furry friends.

We are looking forward to hosting you!

The Space:
Our groovy space includes 2 bedrooms with 1 king size bed and 1 queen sized bed, a funky & fun living space with pull out couch that will surely brighten your day, a laundry room (shared with the guests in the back house) and 1 bathroom with shower (no tub). The kitchen comes with everything you need including gas stove, microwave, and drip coffee maker. There are ceiling fans in the living room and master bedroom, as well as portable AC units in each bedroom. Wifi, Roku TV, and a designated work space makes this house the perfect retreat after a day of sight-seeing. Along with the charm of an older Craftsman home, there are also some quirks. There are limited outlets throughout the house and none in the 2nd bedroom. You must walk through the first bedroom to gain access to the second.

Guest Access:
The entire front half of the property is yours including the private fenced front yard and multiple car driveway. There is a rear guesthouse that is separate and has its own yard. The laundry (that is part of the main house but is separate and locked off from your space) is shared common space for the use of both units.

The Neighborhood:
Hillcrest is the hub of San Diego's LGBT community and is populated by numerous locally owned businesses and specialty stores. Mission Hills is a largely residential neighborhood with a two-block strip featuring farm-to-table restaurants and local coffee shops.

Getting Around:
If you don't want to touch a steering wheel on your vacation, we've got you covered. Our house is conveniently located and central to all that San Diego has to offer. Numerous restaurants, bars, and coffee shops are within walking distance. Effortless public transit and ride-sharing to downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. If you do have a vehicle though, the beach or harbor is only a 10-15 min quick drive. Only 2.3 miles to San Diego Zoo and 5.9 miles to SeaWorld!

Other Things to Note:
Please utilize the driveway for your cars as the street parking in front of the home is by permit only.

For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month's rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.

Your pets are welcome though we don't allow cats in this property. There is a one-time pet fee of $150 due before check-in.

Beach Equipment: despite the inclusion of snorkeling gear, we do not offer it at our rentals

Interaction with Guests:
We are a self-service destination (check-in details will be sent 3 days prior to arrival). However, we are also a full-service, professional management company (that has been a Superhost/Preferred Partner for over 4 years running) and we are just a phone call/text/email away and have agents that are almost never more than 10 minutes away should a need arise.
