Charming cottage in North Park

We love our cottage but of course our opinion is biased. Please click on 'Reviews' for unbiased opinions.
That said... North Park is a lively and fun community. Walk to hip restaurants, cafes, wine bars, brew pubs, shops and fitness centers. We are 2 blocks and a 5 minute walk to Balboa Park's Morley Field where you will find hiking and running trails, a community pool, tennis, golf, an athletic complex, picnic areas, bike track, bocci court, tiny tots play area, and more. A bit farther into the park are the zoo and many museums -- still walking distance or a short ride. You will be 5-10 minutes from downtown hot spots -- Gaslamp, Seaport Village, Little Italy, Convention Center. Only 10 minutes to Coronado Island, a world class destination with beautiful, expansive white sand beaches. Seaworld is about 15 minutes via nearby highway, and easy access to the San Diego Zoo, museums and literally dozens of local restaurants and bars. Balboa Park measuring approximately 1.5 x 1.5 miles and 1200 acres in size, it is one of the largest urban parks in the country and is 2 blocks away.

Built in 1911, our 105 year old stable has been converted to a charming and comfortable 2 bedroom cottage complete with all the amenities of home.
Here are just a few:
Full kitchen with all the utensils needed to prepare a gourmet meal. Heated tile floors in the bathroom and a new walk in shower, hair dryer, quality shampoo and body wash, plenty of plush towels. Queen-size bed with memory foam mattress top (you will this see mentioned in our guest reviews.) Twin bed in the back bedroom and a full open closet, with a separate laundry room with front load washer and dryer and detergents. Broadband internet access with WIFI and a printer/scanner. HD Cable TV, Blu-ray player, Netflix, Pandora web browser & Bose Speaker to play your music from your iPhone, and more. Private fenced in patio with stainless steel 3-burner BBQ where you can relax after the day's explorations with a glass of wine, while being soothed by the rippling sounds of a water fountain that continually flows.
There are endless amazing restaurants in San Diego, but if you find you want to cook in one night, we have an herb garden full of rosemary, sage and thyme as well a beautiful lemon tree outside the cottage, there for your pleasure in picking fresh herbs for your culinary delights.

Our neighborhood is one of the most desired in North Park and is comprised of many welcoming and friendly neighbors and is quiet, yet a short walk to lively nightlife. You also have ample street parking in front of the cottage.

We hope to see you on your next trip to San Diego!!

Beautiful Cottage
We spent two days and two nights at this cottage and loved it. Everything is clean and it is in great condition. Also, it is perfectly located because it is walking distance to Balboa Park and different restaurants. There are also dedicated bike paths close by. We would certainly stay here again and we highly recommend this cottage.

Adorable Cottage in Established North Park Neighborhood
We had a lovely time in this property - even met the owner and chatted a bit. Full kitchen and laundry — which is definitely a bonus if you stay more than a day or two. Parking was a breeze and always managed to get a spot within about 10-15’ from the front of the property. Everything was exactly as stated and we’ll do it again in the future!

This property is amazing, even for families with younger children. There are two bedrooms, with toys/games, and a nice patio area. Owners are great with communication. Parking available right out front at all hours and the neighborhood feels safe. Neighbors are friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

Sweet little cottage!
We loved our stay in this North Park cottage! The home was bright and airy, and well appointed with kitchen supplies, linens, and fun beach items. Betsy and Carly were wonderful hosts and made us feel at home. The home was a quick walk to beautiful Balboa Park. One thing we noted was that the bedrooms do not have doors on them, so keep in mind if your group needs extra privacy. However it worked great for my family as we were easily able to check on our toddler during the night while still having separate spaces. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Great for small families!
The owner responded quickly to my questions, great accommodations (comfy beds, clean, lots of large towels, new and large appliances, large washer & dryer which is a huge plus for us, felt like home, plus a kitty greeted us very nicely!). Would recommend to any small family. Even though we dont have an infant, it was nice to see they have a standard playpen for babies. With that in mind, I would like to suggest to provide one of those inexpensive infant bath tubs with an optional newborn sling. I remember traveling with an infant and only had a stand up shower and we could just bathe baby with us, but sometimes it was just way easier in an infant tub. I've been telling all my friends about this place! It was great!

Away from home work base
In town for a conference. Great to have a home base that was away from the mayhem of the Gaslamp district which allowed me to head “home” after a day of meetings, lunches & dinners. Cottage behind the house is self contained with its own patio area. Small put perfectly appointed. I enjoyed a lemon from the tree to make a soothing hot lemon water! Thank you.

Loved our stay at this cute little cottage. Perfect for 2 people. Safe neighborhood, didn’t lock the door all week. Loved the lavender and lemon trees outside. Got to meet Oliver the cat several times. Practice up on your parallel parking. The whole town parks along the curbs. (No clothes detergent was provided but was listed as an amenity)

We had a great stay here. Lots of space, cute decor, nice bathroom and kitchen, complete with nice appliances. The bed was super comfy, and we loved the little garden patio. The neighborhood is beautiful, and within walking distance to so many good restaurants. We Uberred downtown a few times, and it was fast and easy.
