Getting around is a breeze when your 15 minutes from every attraction San Diego has to offer such as Balboa Park, The San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Down Town, Ocean Beach, Coronado Island and all the local restaurants, micro breweries and craft cocktail bars that foodies rave about.

The space is inspired by our local spa Zen Sanctuary, we wanted to create an space for you to relax, clear your mind and rejuvenate your body so you can make the most out of your experience here in San Diego. We offer high quality mattresses, linens, and towels as well as complimentary coffee and Tea. There are two bedrooms both with natural lighting and closet space. The larger room features a queen size bed. The second room has two full size beds. There is one full bathroom with a walk in shower. The cozy living room is comfortable and clean and our furniture blends our minimalistic and asian inspired style. The art pieces feature local artist (your host) David Warder and are available for purchase. There are two portable AC units in the house, one is installed in the living room and the second is in the master bedroom. This home is kid friendly and toys and a pack and play are available with advanced request.

There is a two person dinette in the kitchen and a full dining table for enjoying a proper meal. The yard is an assortment of plants, dirt and grass and feels great on bare feet.

Quiet, clean and lovely

Perfect proximity to SDSU for a concert. Home was comfortable and clean. We appreciated the A/C as it was summer and warm. Extra towels, linens, clear instructions, and functioning kitchen where we were able to cook meals were all wonderful. Loved the artwork and peaceful neighborhood in walking distance to Adams Ave for stores and restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

Great Normal Heights Location

Just a couple of blocks away from all the fun on Adams Ave. Great location to explore all of San Diego. Easy Uber rides to downtown and Balboa Park. The accommodations are so nice. Very comfortable and nicely decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the outdoor space. David was really easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this VRBO!

Adorable little home in a cute neighborhood with many things to do in easy walking distance. Our host communicated quickly and provided us with everything we might need. The home was nicely appointed, comfortable and had lovely art. We slept very well in our beds. We were happy there were so many towels for us to use! It was nice to have our own small outdoor shaded area. We would stay again if visiting San Diego!

I can't thank David enough for making our stay at his lovely property such a memorable experience. From the very start, his communication was prompt and thorough, providing us with all the details we needed and much more before our arrival. David was incredibly accommodating and responsive, ensuring our needs were met at every turn. It was a pleasure to meet him in person; he took the time to offer great suggestions for local adventures while helping us avoid traffic, which was especially appreciated since we were new to the area. The property itself is in a great location to get where you need. It felt like a home away from home—clean and filled with all the essentials, and cozy beds, pillows, and sheets that made a significant difference during our stay. We loved the Asian-inspired decor and David's artwork, which added a peaceful, zen vibe. The entire experience was just wonderful; I wholeheartedly recommend this place for anyone looking for a family trip. Thank you so much, David, for your exceptional service and hospitality!
