Gorgeous City & Bay Views - Minutes to Downtown

Experience breathtaking views, chic comfort, and seamless access to San Diego's top attractions, Downtown, Convention Center, The Harbor, Old Town, Beaches, Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) and the many Universities . The perfect space for families, attending graduations or business groups in town for conventions. This newly remodeled 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home is thoughtfully designed for work colleagues, friends, or families seeking a stylish retreat with plenty of room to relax, play, and enjoy the cityscape. Located in vibrant Mission Hills, Casa Colibri is a perfect balance of convenience and serenity. The home is dog friendly with a fenced yard and lawn.

From the moment you step inside, you are drawn to soak in breathtaking views of downtown San Diego, the sparkling Harbor, Point Loma and Coronado Island. Sip your morning coffee on the upper deck, watch the dogs and kids play in the yard from the shaded patio, or share dinner al fresco from the upper deck as the city lights glow, every outdoor space here is designed for relaxation and connection. With multiple patios, decks, two living areas and cozy gathering spots, this home invites you to savor San Diego’s perfect weather and cityscape from dawn to dusk.

Inside, the newly remodeled spaces offer a sophisticated yet comfortable retreat. Sleek, modern furnishings and thoughtful design touches create a stylish ambiance that feels like home. Whether you're here with colleagues, sharing notes from the day’s conference, unwinding on plump sofas after a full day of exploring the area or catching up with old friends over a sunset view from the upper deck, Casa Colibri offers inspiring spaces, both inside and out for work, play and relaxation.

Inside the Space
Newly updated and outfitted with high-end amenities and comfortable furnishings, this spacious home feels like a 5-star boutique hotel. With two king bedrooms, one queen bedroom, and two additional queen sleeper sofas, Casa Colibri offers flexible sleeping arrangements for groups of up to 8 guests. Luxurious, cloud-like mattresses ensure everyone will rest comfortably after a day of exploring or networking.

Main Level Highlights:
Open-Concept Living: A large, fully stocked kitchen opens to the dining area and main living room, where guests can unwind in front of the big screen TV. The open layout flows effortlessly to an upper deck with a dining table for four and panoramic views of San Diego’s skyline.

Private Bedrooms: The main floor features an ensuite master bedroom with a king bed, an ensuite queen bedroom, and a guest bathroom. A queen sleeper in the living room adds extra versatility.

Lower Level Retreat:
The lower level offers a second living area with another big-screen TV—perfect for movie nights or game days! There’s also a third bedroom with a king bed, a full bathroom, and an additional queen sleeper. This area opens to a lower deck with seating for six and a cozy covered brick patio we like to call The Palm Grotto.

Office and Technology:
Dedicated workspace with electric standup desk, desk chair, monitor and power strip.
Fast Wifi and Mesh Network on both levels
Smart Samsung TVs for streaming all your favorite services
Sonos sound system with speakers throughout and a Sonos Move you can use outside

Outdoor Bliss for You & Your Pup:

Kendra - From The Bahamas
This home was absolutely perfect! From the moment we walked in, it was clear that no detail had been overlooked. The space was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay — from kitchen essentials to extra toiletries, everything was thoughtfully provided. The location is unbeatable, with stunning views that made our mornings and evenings so much more special. Not to mention, the host was incredibly helpful and responsive, always quick to answer any questions and provide helpful recommendations. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend!

Steve - From Germany
This place was perfect! Great views, great location, spacious, and all the amenities of home. Kim was a great host, provided all of the information we needed, and was super-responsive. The house was very clean, the beds were very comfortable, the yard was great for our dog, and they even had a beautiful Christmas tree set up, which made for a great family Christmas away from home. Thank you Kim, for helping to make our Christmas this year a memorable one!

Note on the Location:
As a San Diego city house, Casa Colibri sits close to the airport, freeways, and transit, making it incredibly convenient. While you may hear some ambient city noise, most guests find it fades into the background, allowing them to enjoy the views, ambiance, and unbeatable location. We are so close to MCRD that we can faintly hear the Marine Bugle Call in the morning and evening.

Please note: We have a separate welcome letter that will be emailed to you after you book. A valid ID is required to complete the reservation process. We have an additional pet fee and allow up to two dogs.

Great place to stay for MCRD graduation

We were fortunate to find this gem of a place to stay with our family while in town for our son’s graduation from boot camp. The property is stunning, clean, close to everything including great restaurants, the airport and 3 minutes from MCRD…AND the host, Kim, was so amazing. She communicated timely and frequently from booking to check out. A fantastic experience all around

A WARM WELCOME FROM YOUR HOST, KIM

As owners and hosts, we are passionate about making your stay as comfortable as possible in our San Diego property. I provide personalized recommendations for the best local activities and dining, and I ensure that your four-legged family members are well taken care of with amenities like dog blankets, pooper scoopers, dog food bowls and treats. My own German Shepherd often joins our family for adventures and we love welcoming other dog lovers to share in the experience!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the Mission Hills neighborhood. It is vibrant, historic area of San Diego overlooking Old Town, Downtown San Diego, and San Diego Bay. Our guest enjoy the easy 10 minute access to all of the top attractions - including the USS Midway, the San Diego Zoo, La Jolla Cove, Balboa Park, Torrey Pines, Sunset Cliffs, Petco Park, Point Loma, Coronado, Sea World, and the Beaches.

What makes this property unique

Location - Casa Colibri is central to everything in San Diego. The View - as soon as you step in the front door you are captivated by the expansive view. Ambiance - built in 1939, Casa Colibi has a classic quality and style. The Yard - the expansive yard and gardens that are rare in city neighborhoods.
