This adorable two-bedroom cottage has a delightful-- and very secure-- front yard for your four-legged companion(s) to feel right at home, as well as a roomy back area for al fresco dining or just relaxing amongst the foliage. The cottage is in the heart of all the excitement, history, heritage, and charm of Old Town San Diego, just far enough removed to be a quiet, secluded retreat. Private and tropical, this darling cottage is located in the center of the birthplace of San Diego, walking distance from a plethora of delicious restaurants, quaint and eclectic shopping, Old Town State Historic Park, all in a fun and lively authentic Mexican atmosphere loaded with history. Visit many FREE museums that explore some of the mysterious legends of early San Diego, offering tours of original historical sites, haunted tours, and more! In addition, you will discover Mariachi shows, music, dancers, live outdoor theatre performances and more surprises as you explore the streets of Old Town on foot. Close proximity to beaches, Sea World, downtown, San Diego zoo, Coronado, and more-- this property is central to all! The Old Town trolley offers a delightful tour of America's Finest City and departs just two blocks away. San Diego has some of the best public transit in the country, and the public transit depot is less than a half mile away with access to city buses, light rail, Amtrak, and the Coaster, San Diego's own train commuter which travels north and south along the coast. With eight stations between downtown San Diego and Oceanside, it provides breathtaking scenery while allowing guests to explore North San Diego County. Renting a car during your vacation is entirely optional! Cottage features two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with a double bed. Wall-mounted TVs, heat and air conditioning, full upgraded bath with oversized shower, queen-size foldout sofa in living room, completely upgraded kitchen with dishwasher, coffee station, and microwave. Well stocked with everything you need for cooking in if you choose! Relax with a glass of wine and a book in your enclosed front yard surrounded by California's brilliant bougainvillea, or have a barbecue in the back with your Weber grill. Also included is one OFF-street parking spot! Please let us know if you’re bringing a second vehicle and we’ll try to accommodate. For folks traveling with small children, we can provide a high chair and a pack and play. High speed residential WIFI is included, of course, as well as hundreds of cable channels. PLEASE NOTE: As we do have a very welcoming pet policy, please advise us ahead of time of any allergies or sensitivities so that we are able to make sure you are comfortable.

The location and the owner are awesome. Plenty of restaurants and shopping within walking distance, very close to the freeways and beach. If I go back to San Diego i would definitely stay here again.
This house is in a great location. It’s very clean and relaxing and the hosts are extremely helpful. This was our second time staying there and I’m so glad we did. What a great experience.

Great property to stay at! Loved that there was parking and walkable to everything in Old Town. Such a great weekend stay. The owners of the property are kind and sweet people as well.
Very spacious with a full kitchen. Right in Old Town so many restaurants within walking distance. The host was very friendly and responsive when needed. Loved this place. We loved our visit to Cabrillo National Monument from here.
Joan is always so kind and accommodating. Great location, comfortable and clean accommodations. Seriously one of my favorite places to stay. My dogs also feel like they are on a vacation too. They love it!
Joan’s place is great! super close to the airport, and easy to uber/drive/metro anywhere else. Also a lot of great restaurants in walking distance. Plenty of space, towels, linens and comfy beds. Great communication for any questions and easy check in. Would recommend 10/10!
It is just like the photos, nice size and conveniently located. The host (who lives close by) was very accommodating and friendly. We enjoyed Miguel's restaurant and eating breakfast at the place across from us on the corner.
Early check in with good outside seating. The fence is secure so we did not have to worry about our dogs.Bed was comfortable and the shower was roomy and hot. We have already scheduled our next stay.
This is our second stay here, and we enjoyed it very much. Joan is great, and made sure all our needs are met. Bonus points for being a dog friendly place!
Great dog friendly place with a great Old Town location.
Joan is a great host and her home is a wonderful place to a stay. Great Old Town location yet quite and safe Nice fenced yard for our pup to pee. Kitchen is nicely furnished with everything we needed to prepare our meals. We will definitely stay here again.
here on next trip to San Diego
Perfect for our basketball tournament weekend away with our dog. Enclosed yard and having parking is key. We waked up and did the Whaley house evening tour and wandered around old town. A lovely weekend, thanks!
Wonderful location in the heart of Old Town with easy access to freeway and other parts of San Diego. Perfect little yard for the dogs. We would stay here again.
We had a great 3 days in San Diego even in the rain. The house was very nice and clean. We have a small dog and he was very comfortable. I would recommend this property, close to a business area with stores and restaurants and to several freeways.
Fantastic property for the three of us. Can’t beat the location. Lots of great food options within easy walking distance (and great breakfast at Keema Cafe across the street).
This cottage was just wonderful! Everything from cleanliness to decor to location and host were superb. We truly loved our stay and want to make a tradition of going each year. We appreciate that our pets were welcomed without insane fees. We highly recommend this cottage. It’s even so much better in person. Really exceeded our expectations.thank you so much for hosting us!
This place was perfect for my family and 2 year old australian shepherd. The manager and owner are both awesome and answered any questions we had. We loved being able to walk to one of the restaurants in old town and taking the food back to enjoy in our cottage. Our dog was so happy to have his very own fenced backyard. We also got to walk to church to attend a beautiful Sunday mass. We’d love to stay here again and highly recommend staying here.
The cottage was clean, well-stocked, and great for my wife, two kids, myself, and my father. We had all of the information ahead of time from Joan, the property manager. Joan was communicative and helpful, we could not have asked for a better experience.
