Place was everything I needed and then some. Love how central it was to everything.

Pros: Check in and check out was easy, nice binder w house instructions. Location was convenient. House clean/cute. Backyard was great. Came with a cute bag with coffee/snacks. Minor cons: Living room couches could use more sitting room/comfier couches.

We arrived for a family member's Marine graduation. We were all pleasantly surprised by the space and location of the home. Was exactly what we needed for our time in San Diego! The location is AMAZING! We walked to Old Town every night and enjoyed all of the little stores and restaurants. The only complaints about the house were the back patio not being swept of debris and the awkward bath/shower in the master bedroom. (Was difficult to get in and out of safely) These items were minor and still get this house a 5-Star Review! We would definitely book again if ever back in the area. Thank you for all the hospitality.

Such a pleasure to visit San Diego and have a beautiful place to call "home". Property had everything needed to relax: comfortable beds, nicely equipped kitchen, hot tub, and the proximity to restaurants, shopping, and the fun Ghost Tours!

Awesome property! Great location. Everyone enjoyed their time. Would love to come again sometime.

Stayed here because it was close to the base for our sons Marine graduation. The house is walking distance to shops and restaurants. It’s very comfortable and you the management company is amazing to work with. Any concerns are taken care of immediately. Highly recommend this home or any Bluewater property.

We loved our time at this house. It was immaculate and everything that was advertised. Old town is just steps away where we enjoyed delicious restaurants and fun activities. Beds comfortable and kitchen great for cooking.

We could walk into old town with the restaurants, shops and a really cool wine and cigar bar. Even walked to a ghost tour! Well appointed home, washer and dryer were not operable but the property manager arranged a full service laundry if we wanted to take advantage of that. Internet went down, too but they were on top of it. Beds we’re comfortable and property was sparkling clean. Backyard and spa were amazing. Only weird thing was the master bathroom set up with the deep tub/shower combo. Just have to be very careful getting in and out. Great stay and I’ve been staying in VRBOs for 20+ years. We thought this was the best one we’ve ever stayed in anywhere!!! Would totally book again in a heartbeat.

Highly recommend the property. Communication from Blue Water Vacations was excellent. We really felt they were interested in us having a good time, concerned that our needs were met. Will use Blue Water in the future!!

Lovely old but meticulously renovated and cared for home right on the edge of Old Town. We walked two blocks, caught the trolly and took a two hour tour of the high interest spots. Lots of restaurants and interesting shops. We enjoyed the amenities of the home as well. The Lovely back courtyard with hot tub and barbecue was well used.

Having stayed in a lot of places over the years, you sometimes wonder how a photographer could possibly have made a place look so good in the photos. Casa de Mariposa is a rare exception - it is actually better in person than the photos convey! The location is sensational - you turn left out of the front gate, walk down a gentle incline for about 200m (600ft) and you are right in the middle of the Old Town market and restaurant area. It feels completely safe, no matter what time of the day or night you venture out. Want to go into San Diego downtown for a day? Keep walking for another 600m (2000ft) and you're at the Light Rail station. The house itself is every bit as good as the photos and then some. It is beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. You feel as though you belong right from the moment you walk in the door. Beds are comfortable, hot water is plentiful and the kitchen is very well stocked with pots, pans, crockery etc. This review could go on for pages, but the summary is this - if you want to stay in San Diego Old Town, do yourself a favour and book the Casa de Mariposa - you will have the vacation of your life!

This was a great spot for being close to downtown and Coronado. Some fun Altas Obscura sites near by also. Managing company was timely and very helpful.

Great location to shops, restaurants, hiking trail and freeway. Love the outdoor patio area...only wish the quiet hours were not so strict.

My husband, son (5 yo), my mother, my sister and I stayed 6 nights at this property and it was fantastic. Prior to arrival, the management company contacted us via email and text to make sure we had everything we needed for check in. The instructions were easy to follow and we had no issues getting into the house. The house itself is a beautifully restored historic house right next to San Diego’s historic old town. Plenty to do for all ages. My son visited the blacksmith shop three times during our stay. With three bedrooms and a pull out sofa there were plenty of beds and rooms for us to spread out. The kitchen is well stocked with the essentials for meal prep and there are two dining areas right off the main kitchen. The backyard is great for outdoor dining and my one regret was that we didn’t have a chance to use the fireplace or the hot tub during our stay. We visited balboa park, the uss midway and the safari park during our stay and this location was central to everything. We even slipped in a date night in old town since it was so easy to walk across the street for drinks. We had one minor issue with the bed in the master bedroom but the property management sent someone over promptly and took care of it. Would 100% rent this property again for another stay. So much better than a hotel in downtown or bungalow on the beach for our purposes.
