About this property
Charming cottage in North Park
We love our cottage but of course our opinion is biased. Please click on 'Reviews' for unbiased opinions. That said... North Park is a lively and fun community. Walk to hip restaurants, cafes, wine bars, brew pubs, shops and fitness centers. We are 2 blocks and a 5 minute walk to Balboa Park's Morley Field where you will find hiking and running trails, a community pool, tennis, golf, an athletic complex, picnic areas, bike track, bocci court, tiny tots play area, and more. A bit farther into the park are the zoo and many museums -- still walking distance or a short ride. You will be 5-10 minutes from downtown hot spots -- Gaslamp, Seaport Village, Little Italy, Convention Center. Only 10 minutes to Coronado Island, a world class destination with beautiful, expansive white sand beaches. Seaworld is about 15 minutes via nearby highway, and easy access to the San Diego Zoo, museums and literally dozens of local restaurants and bars. Balboa Park measuring approximately 1.5 x 1.5 miles and 1200 acres in size, it is one of the largest urban parks in the country and is 2 blocks away.
Built in 1911, our 105 year old stable has been converted to a charming and comfortable 2 bedroom cottage complete with all the amenities of home. Here are just a few: Full kitchen with all the utensils needed to prepare a gourmet meal. Heated tile floors in the bathroom and a new walk in shower, hair dryer, quality shampoo and body wash, plenty of plush towels. Queen-size bed with memory foam mattress top (you will this see mentioned in our guest reviews.) Twin bed in the back bedroom and a full open closet, with a separate laundry room with front load washer and dryer and detergents. Broadband internet access with WIFI and a printer/scanner. HD Cable TV, Blu-ray player, Netflix, Pandora web browser & Bose Speaker to play your music from your iPhone, and more. Private fenced in patio with stainless steel 3-burner BBQ where you can relax after the day's explorations with a glass of wine, while being soothed by the rippling sounds of a water fountain that continually flows. There are endless amazing restaurants in San Diego, but if you find you want to cook in one night, we have an herb garden full of rosemary, sage and thyme as well a beautiful lemon tree outside the cottage, there for your pleasure in picking fresh herbs for your culinary delights.
Our neighborhood is one of the most desired in North Park and is comprised of many welcoming and friendly neighbors and is quiet, yet a short walk to lively nightlife. You also have ample street parking in front of the cottage.
We hope to see you on your next trip to San Diego!!

A comfortable stay in a characterful property. A great location in a family friendly neighbourhood with excellent restaurants nearby. The cottage was well equipped with a well supplied kitchen and some nice touches like surfboards and beach chairs
Communication with host was excellent. The Spruce Cottage was immaculate and oh so comfortable. Great bed and a nice bathroom. The cottage was the perfect size for me. The outdoor space had comfortable seating, a clean grill and was private. Convenient to restaurants and Balboa Park. Plenty of on street parking. I loved my stay. I look forward to future stays!
Fantastic property! It was comfortable and had everything we needed including a great outdoor space to relax and eat. The neighborhood was quiet and walkable to the shops and restaurants of North Park. Hope to stay again when in the area.
Cute, quiet neighborhood in great location with excellent restaurants within walking distance. The cottage was cozy and well appointed. I would love to stay here again!
This was a great location for exploring the San Diego area. The neighborhood was a nice quiet neighborhood but close to plenty of cute shops and restaurants.We enjoyed the outdoor area several nights. The living room was a comfortable place to relax after a day of sightseeing. We never had any problems finding a spot to park when we got back.
This cute vacation rental was just as pictured. Very comfortable for a girls get away. The owner communicated promptly regarding check in. We loved the walkability to neighborhood restaurants. A short uber ride got us to many of the San Diego sights. Would definitely stay again.
Charming cottage in historic North Park neighborhood. Lovely fittings, well stocked, very quiet and comfortable. Walking distance to a few good options for meals. Wonderful area to just walk if you’re so inclined. Convenient access to major sites and attractions. Air conditioning was most welcome for an unusually muggy September in SD.
The property was absolutely perfect for the two of us, and was in a phenomenal location near the north park center. 10/10 would stay here again, the place is quiet, clean and updated and the location and city were amazing.
The cottage was lovely. We visted San Diego Zoo, Silver Strand State Beach, Eco Glo pedal boats, San Juan Capistrano. Communications w/the host were excellent. We took advantage of food recommendations in the binder left inside the cottage. Very convenient for airport access.
This place was so awesome! It was in a great safe convenient location, parking was very easy, it was super clean and comfortable and the hosts were very friendly and responsive! I would definitely stay here again! Thank you for helping make our SD trip so wonderful!!!
Great location, friendly neighborhood, super clean place, easy to get to anywhere. Especially grateful for the kids books, helped my daughter keep her bedtime routine. We enjoyed our stay.
This spot was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed for our vacation. My family and I Ioved it and would definitely stay again. If you get a chance to book this Cottage do it don’t hesitate!
