About this property

Cottage near Sea World, Old Town, & Beaches

Welcome to San Diego; across from the University of San Diego. Full sized master bedroom and bath (with king sized bed), mid-sized bedroom/office with queen sized bed; and a newly build (March 2024) third bedroom (two full sized beds); Airy windows; light-filled room; rooms have blinds that darken it very well.

Very comfortable, quiet household environment. Hardwood floor with cozy family room.

Great location in San Diego, 3.5 mile bike ride to Mission Beach along Mission Bay bike trail. 3.5 miles to downtown; Sea World 2 miles (this is the perfect place to stay for a small family visiting SD for a trip to Sea World); to La Jolla: 10 miles; Balboa Park: 3.5 miles; 35 minutes to Legoland! Disneyland: 90 minutes/mi. Trolley stop and route is across the road; 1/4 mile from my house.

It is a quiet street in a fun neighborhood that serves USD students. Starbucks is near the trolley stop. Golf is literally across the street, along with the YMCA. Just down the road is Fashion Valley for shopping and Old Town for sightseeing—all within walking distance.

Guests have exclusive access to the entire home. Additionally, they have access to the washer and dryer, which are located in the garage.

I’ll be available during the day and into the early evening for questions or issues that pop up. Just send me a message.

Silver Terrace is the little-known name of this small neighborhood just south of the University of San Diego. It is a very centrally located one just minutes from numerous highly popular destinations such as: Sea World, Mission Bay Park, Mission Beach, Old Town, Downtown, Fashion Valley Mall and La Jolla. Within a 10 minute walk you'll be within range of a trolley stop, multiple coffee shops, brewery tasting room, numerous restaurants, and a YMCA.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a water park or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access, onsite parking, and a car charging station.

Home was clean and well organized. Easy 10-15 minute commute to the MCRD for family's of new Marines. Kitchen is adequately equipped for cooking your own meals, as we did. Very comfortable space for our group of 8.Very easy communication with Jimmy during our stay when we did have a concern. He was able to help right away.

The house was great! It was a little warm in the afternoons/evenings but opening the door cooled it off rather quickly. The beds were comfortable and the property was nice and clean. The air conditioning in the master bedroom and the guest bathroom fan were very loud but fortunately we didn't need to use them too much. The icemaker in the freezer wasn't working which was a bit of a bummer but overall the property suited our purposes nicely and we enjoyed our stay.

This was the perfect place for our family mini-vacation! Check in & check out was very easy. It was just as the review stated located just a short walk to transit system, near beaches, sea world & quiet street. The home was very pleasant with 3 bedrooms, roll bed & 2 bathrooms. Nice little kitchen with gas stove, nice oven, Mr Coffee drip pot but Starbucks was an enjoyable walk for morning coffee. Nice stacked Washer & Dryer was centrally located & quiet. We enjoyed the 5 minute fireworks show from Sea World each night (going on through Labor Day!) would do it again in a heartbeat!

We were on a family vacation. We were very comfortable and so glad the bedrooms are air conditioned. The host, Jimmy, was easy to reach. The location was close to every place we wanted to go. The description says the washer and dryer are in the garage, but they are inside the house, which is a plus. Yes, we would stay here again.

Fourth of July weekend

The location is great. It is in a reasonable distance of all the attractions San Diego has to offer. The host was very nice and responded very quick. I had a family of 7 and it was a perfect fit. There is no AC throughout the home, it is only in the bedrooms. Also, there is only one TV in the living room and the main bedroom, the other two rooms do not have TVs. Overall it’s a nice place.

Great little house to stay in close to lots of fun things. There are a few different rentals that use the same driveway, but didnt really see anyone else. We stayed with our family of 5 and it had PLENTY of space for us. I would still not have felt crowded with even 8 of uscould have

Host is incredibly kind!

The accommodations were perfect for our party of five, including a room with two beds that 25 year old best friends were able to share while still having their own beds. But even more impressive than the accommodations was the kindness of Jimmy, the host! Our 25 year old daughter had some special medical considerations that Jimmy bent over backwards to help us with so that our daughter was able to join us on this trip! His housekeeper also went above and beyond to help us with the need. Truly special people and I would recommend any home Jimmy manages.

Cozy SoCal Cottage!

My family spent a long weekend in San Diego and enjoyed this house as our respite spot. Comfortable rooms and nice living areas ensured we all got to spend lots of time together. This home offered many amenities that made our stay all the more enjoyable - there is even a piano! This was a great location for us because we found ourselves traveling south to downtown SD and also north to the La Jolla/Del Mar areas and this was a perfect middle spot. The only snafu we encountered was WiFi that could not sustain any connection for our devices or for using the streaming services on the tv. Truly, we enjoyed our stay very much and would likely stay here again in the future!

Quick getaway

We loved the location & enjoyed how quickly we could get to see all that we wanted to see. Only issue was Living Room tv was slow to stream & seemed to have WIFI issues, bedroom TV had no issues so we were able to watch Thursday night football in there :) this is my 2nd time renting from host as I had previously stayed in smaller unit. Look forward to booking unit again.

Perfect Place to Stay in San Diego

The house was clean and comfy on a nice, quiet neighborhood. Plenty of extra blankets, sheets, and towels for our family. The kitchen has all of the basic items for cooking. Wonderful location, conveniently located near everywhere we wanted to go. Would definitely choose to stay here again.

Most enjoyable VRBO ever!

We rented this house for a surprise 50th birthday for one of my best friends. It was roomy enough and comfortable for 5 adults to spend the weekend. The owner was very friendly and available any time we needed anything, including running an iron over to us when we needed it and replacing the propane tank on the grill when it was empty. Highly recommend! 10 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
