About this property

Ocean/Sunset Views, Modern, Sunset Cliffs/Point Loma near OB, PLNU, Thurs Club

Welcome to Sunset Cliffs Cabana Suite! The large modern space features a private entry, 1 bedroom & 1 bathroom + queen sofa bed & ocean views in the desirable Sunset Cliffs area of Point Loma/Ocean Beach. With over 1,000 sq ft of modern light filled design, the Cabana Suite features a roll up glass wall garage door, large queen bedroom, walk-in closet, portable desk/chair & 2 patios with an additional 1,200 sq ft of private outdoor living space. The Cabana Suite is perfect for couples, family time, remote work, beach time, PLNU visit or Thursday Club events! Amenities include: Large 52" smart TV with streaming apps, fast fiber internet, AC, fans & heat, private gas fire pit, sunset swing, BBQ, lounge chairs, outdoor seating, ample free parking right in front of the house & eBikes for rent.

The space:
The Cabana Suite is located on the lowest level of the newly remodeled contemporary home. The only connection to the main house is through a secure door that remains locked so this really is your own private space. Guests access the suite from the street level where there is plenty of free street parking & walk down about 12 steps to access the private entrance to the suite.

Upon entering the Cabana Suite, you'll see the beautiful bathroom to your left with shower/tub combo, vanity & toilet with heated Japanese-style bidet seat (if you haven't tried one, it's life changing)! To the right, you'll continue into the suite to access the open concept kitchen/living space which features an 18 foot roll up glass garage door (with black out curtains) which opens to a 500 sq ft private patio with ocean views, outdoor seating & lounging including a newly installed sunset swing. With the garage door open, you can truly enjoy that indoor/outdoor Southern California ocean view lifestyle!

The living room features a huge flat 52" smart TV, 2 zero gravity lounge chairs (also life changing and comfy), a high top table dining area & a couch which converts to a futon style queen sized bed (no springs!). The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you'll need to enjoy your stay including a well stocked coffee station with coffee maker, k-cups, ground coffee, French press, etc. From the living room, you'll access the large bedroom with queen sized bed with Tempur-Pedic mattress & walk-in + sliding barn door closets. In the walk-in closet, you'll find the portable desk & chair for any remote work needs you have. From the bedroom, you can also access the spacious patios to take in those ocean views & alfresco dining.

The newly installed wooden steps take you down to the private backyard patio with an additional 700 sq ft of outdoor living space (that's 1,200 sq ft in total of private outdoor living space). This patio features a natural gas fire pit with new seating cushions & plenty of space to spread out plus a new outdoor dining table set for 4.

In total, you'll be able to enjoy 2,200 sq ft of indoor/outdoor living close to the ocean! At night and early mornings you can often hear the ocean waves. What a perfect way to begin & end your day in this quiet & tranquil area of Point Loma!

Eco friendly:
The Cabana Suite also offers some eco friendly features such as re-cycling bins, energy efficient appliances, solar panels with integrated battery back up for more efficient electrical use & power if outages would occur.

Nearby attractions:
There are many attractions close by too in this central San Diego neighborhood. Sunset Cliffs, Sea World, Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU), Thursday Club, Ocean, Mission & Pacific Beaches, La Jolla, Old Town, Hillcrest, North Park, Little Italy, Gaslamp, Convention Center, Coronado Island & more.

Privacy:
The Cabana Suite offers a completely private space & entrance to the 1,000 sq ft guest suite. Enjoy the entire lower floor of the home, 2 spacious patios (1,200 sq ft) & private fire pit. There's always ample free street parking right in front of the house & a quiet residential vibe for the area.

Guest interactions:
Let us know if you need anything during your stay! Your privacy & comfort are important to us. We are always available for any questions, recommendations, concerns, etc. but otherwise you'll have the guest suite all to yourselves! Enjoy!

The neighborhood:
The property is only a 10 min drive from the San Diego International Airport & similar distance to Sea World, Mission Beach/Bay, Gaslamp, Little Italy, Balboa Park/Zoo & other attractions. Even closer to Ocean Beach, Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) & Thursday Club. The ocean, cliffs & small beaches in the area are located about a 10 min walk from the guest suite

At the bottom of Point Loma Avenue, you'll find a convenience store (Sea Trader), Pizza place (Rosarios), Mexican restaurant (Sunnie's), small bistro (Little Lion) & gas station. Ocean Beach & Point Loma offer plenty of restaurants, bars & nightlife to enjoy! Jensen’s grocery store is a quick 5 min drive away for gourmet prepared goods & groceries.

My favorite, local Sunset Cliffs beach is at the end of Santa Cruz Street. You'll see the stairs down to access the cliffs & the beach. During the summer season, lifeguards are on duty as well. I also enjoy a run from the property to the end of Orchard Street where you can make your way to this same beach area with some walking on rocks and dirt path. Amazing in the morning or at sunset. Liberty Station is a short 10 min drive with a great Public Market with tons of small restaurants & local shops. There is plenty of free street parking right across the street from the unit. We also offer eBike rentals to explore the area.

Accessibility:
There is a set of stairs (about 12 steps) down from the street & a few steps up to the main entry door which older or limited mobility guests should consider.

Once in the unit, it's a single level guest suite. There are a few steps down to the fire pit & outdoor dining area.

eBike Rentals:
We have 2 eBikes for rent. The cost is $50/day per bike for the 1st day and $25/day per bike for any additional days. There's a basic rental agreement to sign + a $200 damage/loss waiver fee collected at the time of the rental. This is returned at the end of the rental if no damage or loss of equipment.

Early Check-in or Late Check out:
We try to accommodate requests for early check-in or late check out as best as we can depending on the Cabana Suite rental schedule. Please ask us in advance if needed as it's especially difficult to adjust the cleaning schedule for check outs.

Lovely home

Great location. Very clean. Loved that we could open the garage door and live indoor/outdoors. Would have loved to try the fire pit but didn’t have the opportunity. John was a very gracious host; before our stay I asked if the vrbo had a cookie sheet, he bought one and had it in the kitchen waiting. As he knew I was cooking part of a Thanksgiving dinner, he asked if I needed to borrow any other items. We will definitely stay here again when we visit the area.

Birthday Getaway ******

What a great place to unwind and enjoy the time we take for granted sometimes! The view is beautiful. The fire pit was wonderful just to sit around and enjoy the company of my children and friend who came to celebrate a 65th birthday. It truly was an unforgettable memory for us. Thank you to the hosts who were just wonderful.

Wonderful

We have stayed at many VRBO homes throughout the years and I will have to say this is my favorite. There are too many great things to say about the hosts and the location, so overall know that you will be well taken care of and the amenities offered, left us not in want or need. Also an extra plus is the available electric bike rental, through our hosts!! This is done easily and onsite, no leaving our place to pickup. I do not think anyone could be disappointed by staying here. The cleanliness was superb, all linens were fresh and fragrant. Like I said, too many great things to mention in one setting, I am truthful about this space being an overall beauty.

Beautiful space

Stayed here with my mom and aunt for a long weekend/girl's trip. The space was very clean, well decorated, with thoughtful touches (welcome basket, spa slippers, drinks in the fridge), very comfortable bed (including the pull-out couch), plenty of extra bedding and towels. We loved the zero gravity chairs and the garage door that lifted so we could enjoy the weather and sunset from the living room area. It was wonderful! The space had everything we needed and was in a perfect location. John was quick to respond to questions and was wonderful to work with. We would definitely recommend this space and would love to rent it again next time we return to San Diego.

Perfection!

I have to say, this is the absolute nicest, well equipped vrbo of all the places I have ever stayed. The neighborhood is amazing, it’s a short walk to the beach and there is ample parking. The details were what really drew me in though; a welcome basket and welcome card, chocolates and water in the bedside table, towels and fresh slippers on the bed, lemon water, smart locks, kcups and cream and sugar, awesome water pressure, immaculate, so well appointed, and has an amazing view. John has thought of everything. He was very responsive and communicative. I will definitely vacation in this perfect spot later this year.

Beautiful Property

This gorgeous home in Point Loma was the perfect spot for my husband and I to relax and do some sightseeing in San Diego. The location is ideal! Close to everything with a picture perfect view. You can walk 6 blocks to Sunset Cliffs, and see the best view of the sunset in all of San Diego. The Cabana is spotless, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and has anything you would need! The bed is wonderful, and to wake up and see the sun coming through the garage door window is paradise. John checked in occasionally through text to see if we needed anything, and the Welcome Basket was such a thoughtful and personal touch that we really appreciated. VRBO’s don’t get better than this. Finding this gem made our trip to San Diego that much better! Can’t wait to stay here on our next visit!

Think twice before passing up on this hidden gem

I don’t usually write reviews unless something is really really good or really really bad, since anyone should be able to provide average…. I almost didn’t want to write this one, because I wanted this secret spot hidden. For the many years I’ve spent renting on these sites a few times a year, this is probably the top of my list! Words cannot explain how awesome this place was. John and Michael are spectacular hosts, and have thought of everything when it comes to the details and service they provide. Truly a quiet getaway with the view and amenities for a great stay. We stayed here to drop our son off for his freshman year at SDSU, and we were able to visit the hustle and bustle of downtown Ocean Beach while retreating to this newly remodeled location for the peace and quiet and the views from above. Pictures do not do this place justice, and all the 5 star reviews won’t either. Really, really impressed. The roll up door creates such an incredible space too…. Yes, you can thank me later - I accept Venmo :)

This place is absolutely amazing—just like the photos, modern, spotless, and beautifully maintained. It’s tucked away in a lovely neighborhood, and at night it’s so peaceful you can even hear the crickets. John has truly thought of every detail, from the super-soft anchor-patterned sheets and complimentary slippers to the thoughtful welcome basket with wine, snacks, and even fresh lemons from their tree! Communication was quick and easy, and we also had the pleasure of meeting John, Michael, and their sweet pup, which made our stay even more special. We’d definitely recommend this place and look forward to staying again!

A perfect getaway

We visit San Diego frequently and I am always leery of renting a space within someone's home. However, this rental is absolutely perfect. Sunset Cliffs is quiet and stunningly beautiful. Street parking was easy and there was never an issue finding a spot in front of the house. The outdoor space is incredible and we especially enjoyed the fire pit. The bedroom was spacious and comfortable with plenty of extra pillows and linens. The kitchen had everything we needed including a nice welcome basket of snacks and beverages. There are lots of little details that show the owners care about their guests' experiences (charging cords, clothing steamer, fresh basket of lemons, sunscreen, etc). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again.

Wonderful Gem Deep within Sunset Cliffs

Great lower unit with patio and view. Parking is no issue. Groceries and restaurants are near by. Neighborhood is hilly but walkable with amazing views of the ocean, which is a small walk down the hill. We were able to relax in mid-winter with the large door to the living space open letting in the fresh air. The property owners were wonderful to work with, responsive to all needs and questions, and checked in repeatedly to ensure everything was going well.If you’re looking for a relaxing stay in an outstanding location, this is a property for you.
