The home was clean and well kept. We were able to adjust the temperature to our needs which was nice as it was cooler weather. The staff was available to assist with just a text. The location was within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. We loved it.

We enjoyed the location very much-a half block to Old Town but not noisy and a short walk to Presidio Park. Rooms were comfortable and house had everything we needed. This will be our go-to place in San Diego.

This beautiful property was perfect for my son’s USMC graduation! It was spacious enough for everyone to feel like they had enough privacy and room to be comfortable. We also loved the historic aspect of the home and surrounding area. Communication with the property manager couldn’t have been better! I highly recommend staying here.
5.0
This lovely house had so much character! Everything was very clean and the furnishings were so comfortable. We loved the spacious courtyard and the hot tub too. It was walking distance from all the great restaurants in Old Town San Diego, so every day I was able to get my fix of roasted corn and flan at Coyote Cafe. Such a great stay!

Stayed here for a week and a half with my wife and daughter. We’ve got friends in OB and PB so being in Old Town was a perfect spot. You can pretty much get anywhere you want in under 15-20 minutes - downtown, Coronado, Del Mar, La Jolla. And you can literally walk 30 steps to Old Town and grab lunch, dinner, a drink.
The house itself is an adorable Spanish style home. Very neat and clean. Even though we didn’t up using it, the back yard is perfect for hanging out with friends. Would definitely recommend this property to others.

This charming house was perfect for our family to gather at. The location is steps from Old Town and easy access to the freeway. The home is clean and very quiet.
We had a lovely stay.

One of the best vacation rental experiences I've had. Great communication from the property manager, very clean house, and there was even a welcome gift bag with snacks and a bag of coffee from a local roaster. The check out procedures were very reasonable too which is always a plus.
My only complaints: the pillows were all far too thick and firm/springy so that affected my sleep a bit (but the linens were top notch!). Also, the house is very well furnished but there isn't really a relaxing space in the common areas to enjoy as a group. The living room is a little formal and the outside area is great but an outdoor sofa or more comfortable chairs would take it to another level. But I wouldn't consider either of these deal breakers.
If you're looking for a place near Old Town, this is it! A block from the action but still quiet enough to enjoy some peace from the crowds.

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.
5.0
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.
