This house truly is a gem! We thoroughly enjoyed our staycation and this is one of our favorite neighborhoods in all of San Diego! Ann's house is just blocks from the heart of South Park, yet so quiet and right in nature- a bird lover's paradise. The bottom garden is my favorite part- with native plants, hummingbirds and butterflies, and tons of trees in front of you. The house fills with sunshine and is cozy and well equipped. The whole property is gorgeous- with many places to enjoy the views and tranquility. You can also walk the trails and go to the park.
We cooked as well as ate out (a lot!), and dined inside and out. The master bedroom has a tv and opens onto a side terrace overlooking the golf course and treetops. The bathroom has a great clawfoot tub. The second bedroom is smaller with a smaller bed and a shower. The office is a great bonus as we actually had to get some work done during our stay- and it boasts one of the best views as well. The space suited our needs and is perfect for a small family.
And oh! There's so much to explore right in the vecinity:
Buena Forchetta- one of the best Italian restaurants in the city. While you wait for your table, get cocktails at Kindred across the street- stylish new space with delicious vegan food.
Gold Leaf- cute gift shop (unique and beautiful things for all ages), which is across from Cafe Madeleine- coffee, pastries, lunch.
Graffiti Beach and the couple vintage shops across 30th- also fun shopping. We did the newish Del Sur for Taco Tuesday, vibrant decor and good bar.
Rose is nice for a date night- fresh food and good wine selection.
Station for burgers, fries, beers, and to let the kids roam and play outside.
Krakatoa for sandwiches, working on your laptop, and coffee.
Eclipse or Scoops ice cream for dessert-- and as you can see, you can eat and drink your way through this quaint and friendly neighborhood! If you like walking, you can go explore North Park and/or Golden Hill too. I highly recommend this place and hope you have enough time to enjoy all it has to offer!
