Most impressed by how many little details Tom thought of to make the experience easier on the guest! The house was clean. Tom was responsive and kind. Dog friendly a huge plus. Such a cute town it’s in too. Happy VRBOers :)
Great property. It was clean, comfortable and well stocked with essentials. The host was very friendly and prompt with communication. We will definitely be back.
Tom was super easy to work with. House is clean and in great condition. Stayed here with twin grandsons so the bunk bed was a bonus. Snacks upon arrival, Plenty of toiletries and towels. Everything we needed. Location is great -close to Balboa Park.
Great place to stay. Such a cute bungalow. Clean and well appointed with an easy drive to the San Diego Zoo. The host was so helpful and accommodating. Love the plants! Will stay again.
This home was one of the best vacation rentals we have experienced as a family. It was well designed and felt special as part of our vacation. I am so impressed with the small details that really made it feel like home, particularly for young children. Night lights, child-available toilet seat, bunk beds, and kid-sized utensils were unexpected but so appreciated. The backyard is beautiful and a great spot for congregating- the fire pit was lovely on cooler San Diego nights! Tom was a great host and excellent communicator. We enjoyed the neighborhood and walking to a few restaurants. It was an ideal location to visit the zoo and Balboa park. Highly recommend- thanks Tom!
Our little family loved this house. Very clean and welcoming, and incredibly well-appointed. Had everything we needed AND everything we forgot. Would definitely stay here again.
We loved our stay. The house was super clean and had everything you could possibly need. The plants were so beautiful and had such a great vibe. The host was very nice and even helped set up a dog crate for us. Great location. We would definitely stay again
We absolutely LOVED this place! Everything was perfect. This place is adorable, comfy, quiet, and safe. The plants are absolutely beautiful, in fact they inspired me to have more greenery in my home. We would stay here again 1000 times. It had absolutely everything we needed and more. I cannot see enough positive things about this stay! Thank you so much!!
We LOVED the plants! The place looked just like the listing. Clean and inviting. Owner was friendly and communicative. Would definitely stay here again next time we’re in town!
The Urban Greenhouse is lovely. The host includes thoughtful touches, like phone and computer cables next to the bed, a fully-functioning kitchen with everything needed to cook, and even the option for free-range (and colorful) eggs. The neighborhood is very quiet. We will definitely stay here again.
The stay was perfect! Very comfortable with great attention to detail. Tom was a perfect host as he prepared for our stay, communicated well, and created a cozy place for us to stay. Oh then there was the best shower ever! Enjoy
The urban greenhouse was a perfect stay for our family. We felt at home with all the cozy features and we absolutely loved the plants everywhere. The home was at the center of all the amazing places SD has to offer. Thanks for an amazing getaway!
Tom's Urban Greenhouse was absolutely perfect. The check-in process was simple, the house was extremely clean and the ambience with all the plants was beautiful. We were there for four nights and didn't have one complaint. I'm glad we decided to stay here, as opposed to a hotel. We were able to experience a very cool San Diego neighborhood.

About the host
Hosted by Tom Perry
Hi, I’m Tom! I’m an environmental consultant and avid outdoorsman originally from Pennsylvania. Growing up, I had the best of both worlds. My dad would take me hiking all the time with Scouts and my mom, a horticulturalist, had the most amazing collection of plants. I spent my childhood helping out in greenhouses and outside, exploring the beautiful green landscape of our family farm. I’ve incorporated my passion for plants and nature into my home. I hope you’ll enjoy it -and San Diego- as much as I do.
Why they chose this property
I have moved around metro San Diego for 8 years and North Park is by far my favorite. I had an opportunity to buy 3 years ago and found a beautiful craftsman home on a quiet street and in a very safe part of town. It’s central in SD, close to downtown, close to Coronado, Mission bay, the Zoo, Balboa Park, Museums, Shopping and hiking.
What makes this property unique
There aren’t many nature-themed rental homes as they require continuous upkeep and maintenance. The home is stunning and I hope to give as many people the opportunity to experience it as possible.
