Welcome to Casa de Heights, your unique and cozy stay located in the heart of Normal Heights. We designed this home with short-term stays in mind so you can feel at home and relax here or enjoy the plentiful things San Diego has to offer. We also have 31 5-star reviews elsewhere, so don't miss out due to lack of ratings!
Our beautiful home is conveniently located near all the major highways. Driving distances/times are annotated in "Other things to note". Uber/Lyft are readily available. We also have a walk score index of 91 and bike score index of 70 due to all the designated bike lanes in our area.
This home has 450 sq ft of interior space and 450 sq ft of rooftop space, every inch has been maximized for comfort, luxury and thoughtful amenities. This mini-castle is private and detached with its gated front entrance and gated driveway. Everything here is for your enjoyment as there are no shared spaces for this home. The house was designed and built around a king-sized bed and boasts a smart 65” tv in the bedroom and a smart 55” in the living room. The bedroom features a king-sized memory gel foam bed and a spacious walk-in closet for you to un-pack and feel at home. The bedroom also has a mini-split heating and cooling unit. The bathroom features dual rainfall shower heads and two wall-niches, as well as a towel heater and LED bathroom fan. The bedroom and living room have accent LED lighting that is great for movie nights or a comfortable ambiance.
The living room features a pull-out sofa that can sleep up to two additional people, as well as island seating for two. The wall is decorated with beautiful reclaimed redwood that is at least 70 years old. The kitchen is fully equipped including a blender, crockpot cooking/baking trays, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, various utensils, as well as a variety of coffee and teas.
There is a Jacuzzi that comfortably sits 4 people and has curtains for added privacy. Underneath the stairs, there is a full-sized washer and dryer, as well as tide pods, downy scented beads and dryer sheets. The driveway will comfortably fit a full-sized car or small truck with access from the alley (best way to park may be backing in as there are cars that park in the alley). The gate is controlled by remote, so there is no need to manually open/close the gate. There is also a dedicated 40 Amp EV charging outlet for your vehicle, you just need your own charging cable/adapter as we do not have any for your vehicle. There is street parking, but it is on a first-come, first-served basis. There is one security camera outside of the house for your safety, and a few others on the exterior of the property, but we do not place cameras inside.
Upstairs is the epitome of outdoor living. The interior walls are wrapped in the same reclaimed redwood as the living room with a fantastic westward view, 100” projector screen, gas patio heater, gas firepit and gas BBQ. The rooftop has a pergola that provides shade and some protection from the rain if you want to watch TV outside. The house and outdoor living area feature an integrated home theatre system including Roku, multiple streaming services, Cox cable (over 150 channels) and high-speed internet that ties all of the spaces together, as well as curtains that can be closed for more privacy/better ambiance.
