About the host

Hosted by Delaney Shipley

Host profile image
My husband is born and raised in San Diego, and I’m a Bay Area transplant. I work in healthcare at UCSD, and he runs a successful non profit that serves the San Diego community. We fell in love with the South Park area years ago, and when we found this property we couldn’t believe our luck. We started hosting so we could share this amazing neighborhood and community with travelers.

Why they chose this property

Sunrise over the canyon and the amazing landscaping.

What makes this property unique

The property was designed by an arborist, so the landscaping is out of this world, and we try and honor that by maintaining it. The original home is from the 1930s, so there is so much historic charm. Sunrise over the canyons, a quiet and dog friendly property, walking distance to coffee shops/ restaurants/ bars/ shopping/ local market….we definitely think this property has it all! Not to mention the charm of the cottage itself!
