About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cottage near Sea World, Old Town, & Beaches

Welcome to San Diego; across from the University of San Diego. Full sized master bedroom and bath (with king sized bed), mid-sized bedroom/office with queen sized bed; and a newly build (March 2024) third bedroom (two full sized beds); Airy windows; light-filled room; rooms have blinds that darken it very well.

Very comfortable, quiet household environment. Hardwood floor with cozy family room.

Great location in San Diego, 3.5 mile bike ride to Mission Beach along Mission Bay bike trail. 3.5 miles to downtown; Sea World 2 miles (this is the perfect place to stay for a small family visiting SD for a trip to Sea World); to La Jolla: 10 miles; Balboa Park: 3.5 miles; 35 minutes to Legoland! Disneyland: 90 minutes/mi. Trolley stop and route is across the road; 1/4 mile from my house.

It is a quiet street in a fun neighborhood that serves USD students. Starbucks is near the trolley stop. Golf is literally across the street, along with the YMCA. Just down the road is Fashion Valley for shopping and Old Town for sightseeing—all within walking distance.

Guests have exclusive access to the entire home. Additionally, they have access to the washer and dryer, which are located in the garage.

I’ll be available during the day and into the early evening for questions or issues that pop up. Just send me a message.

Silver Terrace is the little-known name of this small neighborhood just south of the University of San Diego. It is a very centrally located one just minutes from numerous highly popular destinations such as: Sea World, Mission Bay Park, Mission Beach, Old Town, Downtown, Fashion Valley Mall and La Jolla. Within a 10 minute walk you'll be within range of a trolley stop, multiple coffee shops, brewery tasting room, numerous restaurants, and a YMCA.

Great location to hit all the tourist spots. The house fit our family perfect. Beds were comfortable, always had hot water when we needed it. The kitchen is small, but has all the things you need. They could use an actual frying pan though and salt. We were really happy with our stay.

We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room and comfortable beds for everyone. Nice, quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Relatively close to many attractions & freeway access. Off street parking was a bonus and one of the reasons we chose this location. Expectations for checkout were minimal, which was a pleasant surprise. We would stay here again.
