Gorgeous Bay View & Sunrise/Sunsets from Your Private, Sunny Deck in Point Loma!

Relax on your private deck with beautiful views of San Diego Bay, the downtown skyline, Coronado Island, and the nearby mountains. Where else can you have lovely sunrises and watch the sunset reflected off the skyline from the same deck chair? And YES, all the view photos shown in our listing are taken from our (your) patio deck! Parking is spacious, easy, and free, usually right in front! Also, we have tennis and pickleball courts across the street and you can play there for free as our guests.

Did you know that our part of San Diego (Point Loma) was recently determined to be #3 on the 10 Coolest Neighborhoods in America? Do a Google search on "10 coolest neighborhoods in America right now" and choose Money.com for details. (Homeaway won't let us put the URL in this listing)

Our home is located less than 10 minutes from the airport, Shelter Island, Harbor Island, downtown, and EASY walking distance to restaurants, shops, yoga, and the bay. Many guests tell us how much they enjoy being able to do so much without having to get in a car! Watch the fighter jets take off from North Island and frequent sail boat races. You can see the hills of Balboa Park where the San Diego Zoo is located. Sea World is 15 minutes around the corner. The border is 25 minutes to the south. The lights in Mexico are visible at night from your deck! Walk over to buy fresh fish from Point Loma Seafood. Stop by the Jennings House Cafe for breakfast in the morning. Or skip all that and enjoy one of HarborTown's 17 beers on tap.

Your cozy apartment with private entrance and private deck includes everything you'll need for making your San Diego vacation a most memorable experience. The kitchenette is newly remodeled and the queen bed is very comfortable. And we just added a hardwood floor to the bedroom. *** Note, the virtual tour is 6+ years old - many upgrades since then but it does give you an idea of the layout. ***

We think you will be most comfortable with two people but please inquire if you have need for a 3rd guest. You may be visited by our friendly cat from time to time. Our home sits on a hillside so it’s about 20 steps to your level. You can cut that in half by taking our outdoor elevator (hillevator) to our level and walk down to yours.

Your hosts, Kelle and Dave, live just above and will be on hand, when needed, to answer any questions and provide recommendations for the many activities and sights San Diego has to offer. When we are home we are very quiet so you will hardly know we're here. If you want to take it easy and save money, don't rent a car and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. There is a path along the water that is very nice at night. We often walk down there. Overall, we think we have the best value in all of Pt Loma. Please read through our reviews to see what those who visit with us are saying.

*** August 2025 Update. Expedia/Homeaway/VRBO has temporarily removed host responses to reviews while they upgrade their systems. So, you cannot see our replies to the very few less-than five-star reviews. A recent guest complained of excessive noise and lack of privacy. In our response, which you cannot currently see, we expressed disappointment and confusion as we had alerted the guest to an early evening event upstairs the day they arrived. We were repeatedly told before and after that there were no problems and everything was fine... We hope the preponderance of positive reviews demonstrates the care we take in providing our guests a most enjoyable experience. ***
Our customers tell us they can't get enough of this apartment's great location. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from San Diego Bay. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the apartment.

The hosts are very nice and Dave provided excellent information about local things to do during our stay. However, the rental unit is below their residence so you don’t have much privacy and they make a lot of noise above you while walking around and playing loud music.We loved the Point Loma area!

Nice couple very friendly. It is a cute comfortable space with a spacious patio. There is a great view and accommodations were good as was the pricing. Forgot to check if washer/dryer, however, the laundromat was close. Pot belly stove was nice as temps drop slightly in evening and can be breezy.

Beautiful view! Nice for a solo trip!

Checking in was very easy and instantly fell in love with the balcony view. Walking inside smelled very fresh and clean! I would say the only messy part was the bathroom vanity did not look thoroughly cleaned but all else was very clean!Please note that due to there being a lot of plants and flowers, I spotted many spiders in the unit throughout my stay. If you plan on sitting on the outdoor seating area make sure you give it a good pat down before seating.The unit above I could hear talking, footsteps, and their tv throughout the day, very thin walls. The baseball field in front you can hear at night as well. I wouldn’t say it is a quiet stay but if you are planning on staying busy then this wouldn’t be a problem.I mostly read during the day and went out at night, so I did linger more during the day. It is very beautiful and location is amazing!

Point Loma Location

Property is perfectly located for touring in and around the San Diego area. A car is a necessity. Property is nestled is a residential area but is in easy walking distance to many restaurants, shops and services. Venturing out to most attractions are within a 15 minute drive. Large brick patio overlooking the bay and Coronado Island is the icing on the cake.

Great view of the Bay!

A great little place. Every morning we watched the sun rise over the bay and the ships moving about. Dave and Kellee are great hosts and we enjoyed wine and chatting with them. This place is a great base point for day trips to the zoo, The Midway, restaurants and the beach. Very comfy and cozy. Had everything we needed!

Great Getaway

Charming property with its own private deck and fantastic view of the sunrise behind the beautiful San Diego downtown skyline. The neighborhood was wonderful, walkable, and delightfully close to the bay. It's also an easy drive to the airport and other locations in town. We enjoyed the hosts' recommendations for restaurants, especially Mitch's and the Jennings House. Great fun to meet the hosts on the last evening. We had a wonderful time and we will be back!
