Charming cottage in North Park

About this cottagerental

Nestled in San Diego, this charming cottage for $195 per night is a great option for your next break. 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!!

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.

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!

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.

We came for Thanksgiving to visit our son that attends UCSD. It was a pleasant stay. I was able to complete a full Thanksgiving meal and enjoy it outside with my family. I highly recommend this place and plan on visiting again. My biggest highlight was the heated floors in the bathroom. Thank you for sharing your oasis with us!

Great little spot! My husband and I stayed here for 3 weeks while visiting our daughter and new grandson and it was perfect for us. Had everything we needed for cooking meals, the neighborhood was great, and enjoyed sitting out on the private patio. Carly was very helpful and right there for any questions or issues. Also was so wonderful to just get out and walk to restaurants and stores that are within 1-2 mile radius-loved it!

Location was in convenient proximity to places we planned to visit (San Diego Zoo, Seaport Village, Fish Market Restaurant on the Harbor to name a few). We enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings on the lovely, private patio.

The cottage was exactly as described. Great location, very clean, comfortable beds and bedding, full kitchen with top notch appliances, and a lovely private courtyard. Even though we were in the center of town and close to many activities and restaurants, it was very quiet and peaceful and we never had trouble finding parking right in front of the house. We would definitely stay here again.

Hassle free from start to finish. Everything about our week-long stay was perfect. I could have chilled in the English style patio the whole time. Great stay!

My girlfriend and I took a little road-trip from Phoenix to San Diego to celebrate our birthdays! We were thrilled with everything about this cottage! So, so cute and everything and more we could have asked for. The inside is just perfect! So sunny, clean and nicely decorated ..very welcoming with all the amenities you could ask for! Gorgeous flowers, trees (including a lemon tree overflowing with lemons) wonderful scents and outdoor surroundings just perfect for enjoying your morning coffee and evening beverage. Betsy answered all of my last minute questions within seconds (though she’d already provided all the info to me previously lol) and she and her neighbor graciously made sure we’d checked in and all was in order. Great little neighborhood with lots of dining and shopping choices. Our stay here was the highlight of the trip! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Very clean and well appointed. Very nice patio with furniture and grill. This rental is located behind a Craftsman bungalow and is very private and quiet. Location is a plus, at the north end of Balboa Park with an easy drive to the zoo and downtown attractions. The kitchen and bathroom are well stocked. Living room furniture and bed are very comfortable. Nice neighborhood with an easy walk to the historic North Park shopping district.

This little place was great for my family! Very clean and had everything we needed. It’s private and quiet since it’s tucked away. It’s centrally located to almost everything and we were even able to go to the San Diego Zoo and then take my daughter back for a nap, and then back to the zoo for the rest of the day since it’s only about 5 minutes away!

Our only disappointment was that we couldn't stay here longer. The property and setting was just what we needed having just arrived in the US. We got to take in the San Diego marathon unexpectedly, the zoo, la jolla and mission beach whilst also sampling a couple of local restaurants in North Park,which is a wonderful backdrop. Thank you Betsy for providing us with a peaceful setting to base ourselves in whilst spending a couple of days in what is a fantatsic city! I can see why so many other people have responded positively, and we are more than happy to reinforce the good things said about the property based on our own experience.
