*Please be sure to read the "IMPORTANT NOTE", House Rules & cancellation policy information that is included at the end of this description before submitting your booking online.
"Balboa Bungalow" is a single-family dwelling comprised of two separate 1 BR/1 BA apartments. This listing is dedicated to the larger apartment rental option that we call “Balboa Bungalow I” (1 BR/1 BA).
NOTE: We do not rent the other smaller apartment to guests. Since we live in Denver, CO we reserve the use of the small apartment as our own lodging when we are in San Diego visiting our family.
PERFECT FOR ONE OR TWO PEOPLE
As you step through the keyless entry gate, you'll immediately feel at home in this secure and private sanctuary. The interior boasts modern amenities and stylish furnishings that ensure a cozy and enjoyable stay. Sink into the comfortable queen-size bed in the bedroom, unwind in the living room while watching or streaming your favorite shows on the large flat screen 43" Smart TV, or catch up on laundry using the convenient washer and dryer. If you need to work staying connected won’t be a problem with the high-speed internet connection. During the warmer summer months, you'll be able to keep cool with the refreshing air conditioning.
NOTE: This house includes a basic cable package. If you want to watch premium channels or services such as Netflix or Prime Video you will have to stream them on your mobile device.
Quality linens, bedding and fluffy bath towels, hand towels and washcloths are provided for your use. There is a hair dryer in the bathroom. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, glassware, flatware, pots & pans, coffee maker & Keurig maker, toaster, blender, and crock pot.
Step outside to the charming patio, where you'll find comfortable seating to relax and soak up the California sunshine. Sip your morning coffee or enjoy a glass of wine in the evening while enjoying this private outdoor space.
Off-street parking for one vehicle is included with your booking.
The entrance to our house is from the alley, not the street. This is not uncommon in San Diego but it might be surprising to guests from other parts of the country. You will receive clear instructions on how to find and access our property with your Check-in packet that will be emailed to you.
GOLDEN HILL - GREAT LOCATION
Golden Hill is a quiet, historical neighborhood of San Diego with lots of craftsman bungalows and architectural charm. The location can't be beat for convenience to all of the things that San Diego has to offer!
When it's time to venture out, you'll find yourself surrounded by an array of fantastic cafes, restaurants, and pubs just a short walk away. Explore the neighborhood and discover the perfect spot for a delicious breakfast at the Golden Hill Cafe, a satisfying lunch at Pizzeria Luigi or Adalberto's Mexican Food, or a memorable dinner at the iconic Turf Supper Club. Indulge in local flavors, from trendy coffee shops (including Starbucks 2 blocks away) to vibrant eateries serving a variety of cuisines.
In under 5 minutes you can visit Balboa Park, Balboa Golf Course, the San Diego Zoo, North & South Park, and more. Very close to Downtown (5-10 minute drive or Uber ride), the Gaslamp District & Little Italy. The Convention Center, Petco Park, Sea World, Liberty Station, Old Town and local beaches are just 10-15 minutes away.
If you're in the mood for some outdoor activities, Golden Hill has plenty to offer. Take a leisurely stroll through nearby parks and enjoy the stunning views of the city skyline. Visit local art galleries and immerse yourself in the thriving creative scene. For those seeking a bit of excitement, the proximity to downtown San Diego means you're just moments away from a vibrant nightlife, live entertainment, and a host of cultural attractions.
Traveling is a breeze from this prime location, with easy access to the airport. Whether you're arriving or departing, you'll appreciate the convenience of a short commute, allowing you to spend more time exploring the city or enjoying your comfortable home away from home. Be aware that as is true for most of this area you can hear the airplanes flying overhead as they approach & take off from the airport. If you are sensitive to noise you should keep this in mind when considering staying in Golden Hill.

Beautiful place. This location was incredibly convenient for getting around San Diego. Parking was convenient and easy to find. Even though the parking spot is in an alley, we never once felt unsafe.

The unit worked great for our 4 day stay in San Diego. It was clean and well equipped. The parking spot was very nice to have and it is in a great location. The outdoor patio sitting area was also great. We definitely would stay here again next time we visit San Diego!!

The host was super communicative and very accommodating. We were a quick rideshare from everything we did and had all we needed to cook and enjoy our time as a couple. The outdoor space was a great amenity. We felt safe and will happily stay again!
