This lovely home is very centrally located to a bunch of great spots: walking distance to the charming district of Hillcrest, and a 15 minute drive to Coronado Island, Sunset Cliffs and La Jolla. We enjoyed dining on the porch and at the dining table in the yard below. The hot tub was great, and the showers were perfect. The neighborhood is very charming. Just a couple of blocks away, there’s a suspension bridge which takes you to another very stately and historic neighborhood.
We rented bikes from Stay Classy Bike Rentals who delivered and picked up at the house for free. When we rode our bikes to Balboa Park, one of us got a flat tire and they came out within 15 minutes to replace the bike.
We had to cancel our trip to Europe because of the pandemic and this was our only vacation for the summer, though we feel very blessed we can take a vacation at all during these troubled times. The San Diegans almost all wore masks so we felt very comfortable, and we bought food supplies and dined in the house exclusively. If you’re more adventurous, San Diego has done a great job creating outdoor dining spaces with even the smaller cafes using plexi dividers between outdoor tables. We came from Orange County- just one hour away, but this mini getaway proved that vacation truly is a state of mind, and a simple change of pace is all we really need to reset. Rick was very helpful when we had questions or issues and responded immediately.
Thanks, Rick, for providing a relaxing sanctuary for my family of six.
