Classic San Diego Home w/ Outdoor Lounge & Vintage Charm | Casa Craftsman

Welcome to Casa Craftsman by AvantStay!

This classic San Diego retreat captures the charm of a historic Craftsman home while offering all the modern comforts for an effortless, sun-soaked stay. Nestled in a friendly neighborhood just minutes from Balboa Park, North Park’s trendy dining scene, and a short drive to the coastline, this home is perfectly positioned for exploring the best of the city while enjoying peace and privacy at home.

Start your mornings on the cheerful front porch, where guests love sipping coffee and watching the neighborhood come to life. Step inside to a warm, light-filled interior that feels instantly inviting. The living room pairs timeless character with comfort—featuring wood-trimmed windows, plush seating, and a large TV perfect for cozy movie nights or relaxed mornings over coffee. Families will appreciate the added touches of toys, puzzles, and games, plus a toy play kitchen available upon request, making this home especially welcoming for guests traveling with children.

The open-concept design flows into a charming dining area with a round table for four, where conversation and connection come easy. The fully equipped kitchen blends modern convenience with vintage flair, featuring sleek cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and all the essentials for home-cooked meals. A washer and dryer make extended stays simple and stress-free.

Three well-appointed bedrooms provide peaceful retreats for up to six guests. The primary suite features a queen bed and soft lighting for restful nights. A second bedroom with a double bed and a third with another queen offer comfort and flexibility for families or groups. Two full bathrooms include a walk-in shower and a shower/tub combo, both designed with thoughtful finishes.

Outside, Casa Craftsman shines as the perfect place to gather and unwind. Surrounded by greenery, you’ll find a firepit lounge, outdoor dining table for four, BBQ grill, and cornhole setup—a backyard built for laughter, relaxation, and making memories from golden hour to nightfall.

When you’re ready to explore, you’ll love the home’s prime location and community amenities. Just across the street, guests have access to a pool and tennis courts, and behind the community center, there’s a park and playground perfect for kids to burn off some energy. A shopping center just one block away makes everyday convenience easy, with a Starbucks, grocery store, and multiple restaurants all within walking distance.

From its historic architecture to its family-friendly touches and unbeatable location, Casa Craftsman by AvantStay offers a seamless blend of San Diego charm, comfort, and connection—perfect for travelers who want to experience the city like a local, with a little extra style.

Deemed “America's Finest City,” San Diego lives up to its nickname. From riding waves to riding Belmont Park's seafront roller coaster, there's plenty to do in this upbeat, laid-back seaside destination. Ride a bike to La Jolla Cove to watch sea lions sunbathe before dining on authentic Mexican fare. This is the burrito capital of the world, after all! With SeaWorld, Legoland, and one of the best zoos in the country, it's playtime all the time in this sunny Southern California city.

The home was clean and cozy, but the beds were uncomfortable and noisy. One bed had a low spot and the frame of the other bed was creaky! Being an old house, the walls are thin, so you could hear everything. But then again, that’s the charm of staying in an old house.

4.5 stars but I rounded up. Avantstay are great hosts with your stay there top priority. Great things about this San Diego location. Very nice and clean house, great kitchen and hang out spot. Neighborhood/house has great and easy parking. Location is close (15-20 mins) to most spots in SD and a block away from a grocery store. Some knocks against it. Neighborhood is very lively with action, noise and load cars driving by. Bathrooms are nicely remodeled but can be a bit cramped and it would be nice if at least one of the beds were a larger size.
