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!!

Quiet but so convenient
The cottage was a perfect choice for us. It had everything we needed to start our days and for the occasional dinner in. I was amazed at how close it was to so many of the things we planned but so quiet for relaxing. We had some rain while visiting so we were glad to have the extra space (as opposed to a hotel room) to entertain ourselves. I was worried about the parking but it was no problem.

Cozy Little Family Cottage
Perfect quiet backyard cottage for our three person family. Close to tons of sights and easy access to major roads, but tucked away in a trendy family neighbourhood. Betsy was an excellent host.

Tropical respite
We stayed 2 nights while our children were waiting for a bed delivery. The 4 of us enjoyed the the park and the South Park area. This is an ideal quiet choice. Thank you we will be back.

I spent two fabulous months at this well located little bungalow. The house is cozy, cute and welcoming, and the hosts are responsive and lovely to deal with. I would recommend this VRBO.

Nice Little Cottage
Nicely represented in the listing. Close to almost everything we wanted to see, quiet neighborhood, walkable to restaurants and coffee shops. The front door was a little hard to lock. Obviously the keypad lock worked. But the bolt was hard to lock. A little concerned about the lack of that little bit of extra protection at night. The plumbing was loud. When the kitchen sink or shower were used the water gurgled loudly for a minimum of 30 minutes after use. Normally would not be a big deal but we had a long day Friday and the noise kept us up for a bit after getting cleaned up for the day. There were some ants. Probably because of the rain. All of our food basically in the fridge so not a big deal but something to take a look at.

Always a Joy in Returning
We enjoyed our annual stay here at the cottage, where we return for family visits around Thanksgiving. The spot is a delightful refuge from holiday stresses, and wonderful place to relax. We remain grateful to the owners for making it available!

Wonderful stay in San Diego
Everything was great, the only issue we had was finding it!! It was tucked behind the main house. Cozy, stocked with everything we needed, and close to lots of really fun restaurants and stores. A 5 min drive from the park/zoo. Would definitely stay there again.
