Cute and Quaint Place

Such a cute, tiny, and quaint spot—perfect for a short getaway! Located in Normal Heights, it’s within walking distance to local restaurants and a grocery store, making it super convenient. A great home base for exploring—just a short drive to Coronado Island, the San Diego Zoo, Fiesta bike trail, and Mission Bay Club. Cozy, clean, and in a great neighborhood. Loved our stay!

Lovely home

We had a wonderful time at this charming property as we celebrated our son’s graduation from SDSU. It is in a great location with lovely restaurants and a great grocery store within walking distance. The off street parking was an added bonus, as was the backyard outdoor patio. We would stay here again if back in the area. Thank you!

Cute house in convenient area

House was very small but nicely decorated. Host was responsive and pleasant. The beds could be more comfortable and water pressure was very poor. However, plenty of parking the area was centrally located and we had a pleasant stay.

Cute house, GREAT location!

I stayed at this charming San Diego home for one night with my fiancé, my mom, and our two little Morkies, and I truly wish we had booked it for longer! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed — there was a bowl of fresh water set out for the pups, fresh flowers on the counter, and thoughtful touches throughout the space that made it feel like a home away from home.The house itself is one of the cutest I’ve ever stayed in — cozy, clean, and beautifully styled with a perfect blend of character and comfort. It’s nestled in a quiet neighborhood but just a short walk to the heart of Kensington, where we explored cute coffee spots, local boutiques, and restaurants. The location couldn’t be better.The hosts were incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating from start to finish. It’s clear they put a lot of care into creating a great experience for their guests (both humans and pets!).I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again — 10/10 experience. Highly recommend!
