About this property

Hidden Cozy bungalow close to DT, beaches, & base // pet-friendly //

Experience a beach getaway in our bright and stylish renovated bungalow-style studio near Downtown San Diego. Our studio is situated behind an iconic Craftsman home and features an open floor plan, beamed ceilings, queen size bed with a custom surfboard headboard, and a backyard patio with 2 lounge areas to enjoy some drinks. We are centrally located 1 block away from the freeway and the Naval base and 10 minutes away from the local sunny San Diego scene - breweries, restaurants, and attractions.

PLEASE NOTE:
The studio is in the back of a multi-unit property - the driveway, carport and laundry are shared.

The narrow width of the driveway and carport may require some additional attention while driving in and out, therefore we only allow compact cars. It's important to note that there might be limited space for turning around, so if you have any concerns about parking or access, please contact me for further guidance.

Also note that this building is comprised of 2 back-to-back studios. While each studio is private and has its own separate entrance, they share a common wall and laundry area.

Rest assured, I strive to make your stay as convenient as possible. I understand that the narrow dimensions might not be suitable for everyone, particularly if you have a larger vehicle or are not comfortable with tight parking situations. However, if you're willing to accommodate these items, this private studio offers a comfortable and convenient home base for your visit.

Please reach out to me if you have any specific questions or concerns about the parking arrangements. I'm here to help make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Rosie was great, and the bed was great! It was close to base, food and other activities. It was quiet enough for me to work from home, and was a great place to crash after running around all day!

We had a wonderful stay in this nice studio. Communication with Rosy was excellent. We wanted to cook a nice meal for some family members and when we noticed a limited set of dinnerware and cookware, Rosy immediately brought us brand new sets of plates, bowls, utensils, and cookware. This studio is nicely located near the center of town and has everything we needed. We hope to come back!

Great stay in San Diego!

We had a great time staying at this beach bungalow. The space was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a nice and relaxing stay! Communication with our host was quick, polite, and always helpful. The location near downtown SF made it convenient to travel around to restaurants, museums, and even spend some time near the ocean! I would recommend this stay highly! Thank you, Rosy, for everything!

Wonderful host!

Rosy was an excellent host! We had hiccups with our travel schedules, causing us to arrive a different times, and she was excellent in helping to make things as smooth as possible as we checked in and checked out. Very cute little unit. Worked great for what we needed for our weekend getaway.

Cozy

We had a nice visit. The amenities were perfect for our stay. It was close to everything. The location was perfect that way, but not the best neighborhood, so just be smart about your surroundings if you are going to explore the neighborhood on foot. Otherwise perfect for us.

My stay in National City

Very nice place. Rosy was very accommodating and considerate. Driveway is a little tight but provides protection from the street which is good. 5 minute drive from work and about 15 minutes from nearly everything in San Diego. Would highly recommend for any party of 1 or 2 people.
