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.

Quick getaway
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.

Perfect Place to Stay in San Diego
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.

Most enjoyable VRBO ever!
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Family Vacation in San Diego
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.

Great location
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!

Good location, but needs a little TLC
If you are needing to use both beds in this cottage, the guest bed is in need of replacement. Our adult son, normal weight, could not sleep on the bed because of old mattress very uncomfortable. A foam pad was put on to try to mitigate this problem, but it is also old and very mushy. The sofa is supposed to be allow for additional sleeping arrangements, but it is also old and kind of blown out. The kitchen was adequate, but could use some upgrades. Not enough coffee cups for 4-6 people and very minimal silverware.

Great location
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.

Enjoyed some time with extended family here…much better than a hotel lobby for our mini reunion. Neighborhood was quiet and it was a terrific location for us heading north to La Jolla and south to Balboa Park. It’s also very close to Old Town.
