Orange Tree Cottages Downtown
3.5 star property
6.4 out of 10, (27)
"The cottage and surrounding area were absolutely amazing! Cottage was comfortable and clean, and communication between staff and myself was fast and clear. Only issue we had was I couldn’t figure out the heat. Thankfully it wasn’t too cold. The side door also had damage on the bottom and was open to outside elements but it didn’t cause any issues. Planes do fly low overhead but the noise didn’t bother me. Overall, I will definitely be booking again in the near future. Absolutely loved my stay!"

Charming cottage in North Park
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (366)
"Would stay here again. The perfect size for my family of three which included my two year old. The courtyard was great for my son to run around while being in an enclosed area. The garden was beautiful and a nice neighborhood to walk around. I also have a walking disability so the area was flat enough for me to get around."

"Bill and Tiffany were exceptional hosts! I stayed at their apartment attached to a historic mansion in San Diego, and it was an incredible experience. Tiffany arranged discounted zoo tickets for me, and Bill went the extra mile by spending additional time to ensure the hot tub was sparkling clean. The property itself was amazing, located in a great neighborhood. I enjoyed grilling in the backyard every night. Even though it was just me, they treated me like royalty. I wish I could give them ten...

Sublime Indoor/Outdoor Vibe | In the❤️of South Park
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (13)
"We enjoyed the proximity to parks, the zoo, downtown, soccer stadium, the airport, etc. The host was great to deal with. The property needs some tlc. The awning in the yard which shows in the picture was lying on the ground, there was no tray for the dish rack, the bedroom closet door was off the slider and the cabinet under the TV in the living room was partly broken. You'll need to be able to sign in to your own streaming services and there's no live TV. These are minor details and as such we...

"Really nice black bottom pool that stayed really warm, the backyard is sheltered from the wind and gets nice sun throughout the day. The game room was super fun for our kids and the property is well appointed. It didn’t have wine glasses and I sent the property manager a note asking if they were somewhere I couldn’t see and they dropped off some new ones since they weren’t there, same day. Comfortable beds and plenty of towels too"

Newly Designed 20's Bungalow with a MidCentury Modern Flair

"This beautifully appointed mid-century modern bungalow is in North Park, close to everything. I was here to move my daughter out of her freshman dorm (SDSU) and needed a home base close to campus, the storage unit, the airport, and fun stuff. This place was perfect. Most importantly, we wanted a clean quiet space for us to relax and for my daughter to finish an online exam. We couldn’t have asked for a better place. It is so comfortable and clean. We had plenty of space (2 bedrooms and 1...

"We had planned a trip to Seawirld San Diego for 2 days. Decided to add the Midway Museum in our first day. Great location for Seaworld and Downtown activities. The house was just as advertised, the Host brought over a propane cylinder right away when we had noticed that the existing one was empty. She was very helpful with ideas to do and the house cooled quickly in the early evening by just opening windows. Had anexcellent time. With look up this listing again on any return trips to San Diego."

"Close to Little Italy and to my daughter’s place. So that was nice. Farmers market and all the places to eat at were amazing. Daily runs to the pier. Some real steep hills though toward Balboa. Otherwise great location except for the noise when sitting out in the back but enjoyed watching the aircraft at the airport."

"We stayed for a week in this three-bedroom-two-bathroom condo-type place in North Park. The place is modest - very functional but not luxurious, Louis was an excellent communicator throughout our week. The place was reasonably well equipped and clean. The TV in the main room struggled a bit with Netflix and Amazon. There are two really great things about the location - it is very convenient to the highway system and to the airport. There's a Starbuck's steps away, a CVS, and a Baron's just a few...
