The property is located 1.4 km from Calumet Park Beach, 7.3 km from SeaWorld San Diego and 10 km from Old Town San Diego State Historic Park.

Step away from the busy world and step into Paradise! We loved the location, the amenities, the proximity to tasty food, the hot showers. We found the home open, clean, comfortable. The home info and guidebook provided all the details we needed for arrival, use of TV and wifi, and departure as well as other details about the property. The friendly hosts reached out to welcome us and to encourage us to bring any questions or concerns to their attention. The beach chairs and umbrellas provided comfort, convenience, and shade that made our time at the beach relaxing and fun. The hot tub was the perfect way to unwind at the end of a busy day. My favorite thing about the house was being able to relax and visit with family over meals, while watching movies, or sitting in the hot tub or on the beach. Thank you!

    Our room was in a bungalow cottage style row of rooms separate from the traditional hotel rooms. The room itself was a basic, simple, clean room. It was comfortable. The lobby and breakfast was varied and nice.

    Perfect location, beach, restaurants etc. are in easy walking distance. Nothing fancy, but just a cozy and a comfortable home away from home. Ideal for a stay of several days. Excellent Wifi. Good quality towels. Large rooms/suites. Charming people. Actually my third stay at this place, and still loving it.
