Great property!

We stayed at this property for a week with our two younger children, and loved the proximity to restaurants, the beach, tourist spots. The living space itself was also great - a lot of room for the kids to play and chill and the for the grown-ups to spend time together as well. Would definitely rent this property again if we ever visit San Diego again!

The house is great - lots of outdoor and indoor seating. Super clean and has pretty much everything you need. Plenty of street parking and the house is so close to everything we had planned. Great communication with the host. We’ll definitely stay here again if we’re back in the area.

Wonderful stay!

This was our second stay at this propeety. Its a beautiful older house with some of the quarks you would expect. Its a short walk to Ocean Beach, which is a huge bonus. We were able to park right in front of the property majority of the time. Attractions are close by and easy to get to. Gabe is a wonderful host and very helpful. If another SD trip comes up, we would book again.

Lovely little house & walking distance to the beach!

The house was charming & comfortable. We enjoyed the king size beds & beautiful kitchen with high-end appliances. The location is perfect for exploring SD - super easy to hop on the freeway, and it's very close to Pt Loma, Mission Beach, downtown, etc. We walked to the beach and downtown OB. There are several coffee shops & restaurants just down the street.

About the host

Hosted by Gabe Kubanda

Host profile image
Former touring musician, non-profit founder and small business owner, I value concise and timely communication, transparency, and am easy to get along with.
I also love good music, good food and traveling!
I honor VRBO policy to the letter, and expect our guests to hold the same high standards, so please review listings thoroughly and DM with any questions :)

Why they chose this property

Being able to walk one block to the Peoples Co-Op and get the best groceries, hit up Kaiserhoff for some authentic Bavarian food and brews, then saunter down to the beach for the most beautiful sunsets imaginable, you just can't beat it. And we're less than 5 minutes from Sea World ;)

What makes this property unique

I love this home, the 2 Tempurpedic King beds, dedicated office with external monitor, and the unique kitchen layout with 2 ovens and the private side yard with the lemon tree and grill, and outdoor dining capabilities
