SDSU/Downtown <10 Min - GameRoom - Fire Pit - Free Parking - Easy Freeway Access
This Vrbo is the perfect home base for small groups/families visiting America's Coolest City!
Just a short drive away from many of San Diego's local attractions: less than 10 minutes away from SDSU and Downtown, 15 minutes away from the Zoo, and 20 minutes away from Sea World and some of San Diego's most beautiful beaches!
This home offers a FULLY fenced in front yard so you can enjoy the outdoors while your furry pals run around freely AND a side yard equipped with a FIRE PIT and HAMMOCK to enjoy the night sky in comfort and privacy.
THE SPACE: Our newly remodeled one-story 3bd/2bth home is inspired by some of the (many) reasons why San Diego is often referred to as “America’s Coolest City” and specifically designed to offer our guests a clean, comforting and inviting atmosphere. This home includes a (fenced-in) front yard, side yard equipped with lounge chairs and a fire pit; and game room.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS: One king | two queens
KITCHEN: This home includes the perfect kitchen for guests who love to cook/bake, and it has plenty of room for additional sous-chef(s) when needed. Comes fully equipped with brand-new stainless steel appliances and basic kitchen equipment, although please be sure to read our digital guidebook after booking to see what items are provided.
OUTDOOR SPACE: San Diego is known for its phenomenal outdoor lifestyle, and with its nearly perfect year-round weather, you'll get to see why soon. Whether its the beaches and beautiful parks, or the fun local bars and lively neighborhoods, San Diego has something for everyone. That said, this space is perfectly set up for those days/nights you feel like staying home and being outside at the same time. In the side yard you'll find patio furniture and a fire pit, and a beautiful newly turfed front yard for soaking in the sun and playing yard games like Ladder Toss.
GAME ROOM: Detached garage turned arcade/game room is equipped with a ping pong table, arcade machine (with up to 14 games), and basketball hoop when the weather is not-so great, or when the kids want some space (or vice versa).

We stayed at this beautiful VRBO for our child’s college graduation in San Diego, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The home was spotless, spacious, and exactly as described—if not better! Every room was thoughtfully appointed, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook family meals, and we loved gathering in the common areas to celebrate and relax.The location was ideal—close to the campus and shopping.Our host was responsive, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed for a smooth stay. This property made an already special weekend even more memorable. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Diego for a family trip or celebration!
