Hidden Cozy bungalow close to DT, beaches, & base // pet-friendly //
Experience a beach getaway in our bright and stylish renovated bungalow-style studio near Downtown San Diego. Our studio is situated behind an iconic Craftsman home and features an open floor plan, beamed ceilings, queen size bed with a custom surfboard headboard, and a backyard patio with 2 lounge areas to enjoy some drinks. We are centrally located 1 block away from the freeway and the Naval base and 10 minutes away from the local sunny San Diego scene - breweries, restaurants, and attractions.
PLEASE NOTE: The studio is in the back of a multi-unit property - the driveway, carport and laundry are shared.
The narrow width of the driveway and carport may require some additional attention while driving in and out, therefore we only allow compact cars. It's important to note that there might be limited space for turning around, so if you have any concerns about parking or access, please contact me for further guidance.
Also note that this building is comprised of 2 back-to-back studios. While each studio is private and has its own separate entrance, they share a common wall and laundry area.
Rest assured, I strive to make your stay as convenient as possible. I understand that the narrow dimensions might not be suitable for everyone, particularly if you have a larger vehicle or are not comfortable with tight parking situations. However, if you're willing to accommodate these items, this private studio offers a comfortable and convenient home base for your visit.
Please reach out to me if you have any specific questions or concerns about the parking arrangements. I'm here to help make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
