About this property
Cottage near Sea World, Old Town, & Beaches
Welcome to San Diego; across from the University of San Diego. Full sized master bedroom and bath (with king sized bed), mid-sized bedroom/office with queen sized bed; and a newly build (March 2024) third bedroom (two full sized beds); Airy windows; light-filled room; rooms have blinds that darken it very well.
Very comfortable, quiet household environment. Hardwood floor with cozy family room.
Great location in San Diego, 3.5 mile bike ride to Mission Beach along Mission Bay bike trail. 3.5 miles to downtown; Sea World 2 miles (this is the perfect place to stay for a small family visiting SD for a trip to Sea World); to La Jolla: 10 miles; Balboa Park: 3.5 miles; 35 minutes to Legoland! Disneyland: 90 minutes/mi. Trolley stop and route is across the road; 1/4 mile from my house.
It is a quiet street in a fun neighborhood that serves USD students. Starbucks is near the trolley stop. Golf is literally across the street, along with the YMCA. Just down the road is Fashion Valley for shopping and Old Town for sightseeing—all within walking distance.
Guests have exclusive access to the entire home. Additionally, they have access to the washer and dryer, which are located in the garage.
I’ll be available during the day and into the early evening for questions or issues that pop up. Just send me a message.
Silver Terrace is the little-known name of this small neighborhood just south of the University of San Diego. It is a very centrally located one just minutes from numerous highly popular destinations such as: Sea World, Mission Bay Park, Mission Beach, Old Town, Downtown, Fashion Valley Mall and La Jolla. Within a 10 minute walk you'll be within range of a trolley stop, multiple coffee shops, brewery tasting room, numerous restaurants, and a YMCA.

The place was extremely clean and perfect for our family. Very conveniently located near Sea World, the Zoo and many other San Diego destinations. We would absolutely stay again!
Smooth check in process and comfortable stay close to university. Minor issues with foul smell in neighborhood but otherwise an excellent stay overall.
The house was clean and comfy on a nice, quiet neighborhood. Plenty of extra blankets, sheets, and towels for our family. The kitchen has all of the basic items for cooking. Wonderful location, conveniently located near everywhere we wanted to go. Would definitely choose to stay here again.
My family and I stayed in the cottage for a week. It was convenient to all the site we wanted to visit. It has a piano which was a great delite for my husband. All of our needs were met. All in all a very good place to stay.
The house was great! It was a little warm in the afternoons/evenings but opening the door cooled it off rather quickly. The beds were comfortable and the property was nice and clean. The air conditioning in the master bedroom and the guest bathroom fan were very loud but fortunately we didn't need to use them too much. The icemaker in the freezer wasn't working which was a bit of a bummer but overall the property suited our purposes nicely and we enjoyed our stay.
We wanted to get out of CO for an end of summer family before school started backup. This house was in such a great centralized location. It was very close to old town and beaches were 15-20 mins away. There were good restaurants and shops all nearby. The owner, Jimmy, was very responsive and courteous. We had an overall excellent stay here and would recommend to others.
The family met in San Diego for a week. Nieces, nephews and grandchildren. The cottage was the perfect place to meet up and watch the grandchildren play in the backyard. We had a great time and Jimmy was a responsive host.
We rented this house for a surprise 50th birthday for one of my best friends. It was roomy enough and comfortable for 5 adults to spend the weekend. The owner was very friendly and available any time we needed anything, including running an iron over to us when we needed it and replacing the propane tank on the grill when it was empty. Highly recommend! 10 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We loved the location & enjoyed how quickly we could get to see all that we wanted to see. Only issue was Living Room tv was slow to stream & seemed to have WIFI issues, bedroom TV had no issues so we were able to watch Thursday night football in there :) this is my 2nd time renting from host as I had previously stayed in smaller unit. Look forward to booking unit again.
The accommodations were perfect for our party of five, including a room with two beds that 25 year old best friends were able to share while still having their own beds. But even more impressive than the accommodations was the kindness of Jimmy, the host! Our 25 year old daughter had some special medical considerations that Jimmy bent over backwards to help us with so that our daughter was able to join us on this trip! His housekeeper also went above and beyond to help us with the need. Truly special people and I would recommend any home Jimmy manages.
My family spent a long weekend in San Diego and enjoyed this house as our respite spot.
Comfortable rooms and nice living areas ensured we all got to spend lots of time together. This home offered many amenities that made our stay all the more enjoyable - there is even a piano!
This was a great location for us because we found ourselves traveling south to downtown SD and also north to the La Jolla/Del Mar areas and this was a perfect middle spot.
The only snafu we encountered was WiFi that could not sustain any connection for our devices or for using the streaming services on the tv.
Truly, we enjoyed our stay very much and would likely stay here again in the future!
My softball teammates and I stayed at this residence while competing in a tournament in Santee. The residence was very clean and tidy. The neighborhood was very quiet. The property owner stayed in contact and replied to emails/messages quickly. The only side note is to be aware of when Sea World has their fireworks show. It scared us on the first night there with the first BOOM! With that being said, you can go out onto the front lawn and watch the fireworks!
This was a great little holiday house. Perfect location in a quiet, safe neighborhood. The backyard was a great relaxing area with some toys for our kids which was a lovely bonus. Host was super responsive, cleaning staff were friendly.
Downsides: The place could use some better amenities to make the stay more comfortable. The queen bed was two old spring mattresses stacked on top of each other on a very squeaky bed frame with no box spring. One of us ended up sleeping on the couch because it was so uncomfortable to have two in the bed . There were only 4 pillows in the whole unit and not a lot of kitchen supplies (only a few mugs, glasses etc) so we were doing dishes every day.
Overall it was a lovely stay otherwise but would have given 5 stars if some of those upgrades were there.
The host was very responsive, full of information and attentive to questions asked.
The property was clean, comfortable and accommodating- in a great location easy to access various interstates to get to the airport, MCRD, the ocean and local eating establishments. AND incredibly affordable.
