Modern Surf Themed Home - Heart of Gaslamp

Step into a modern surf-themed retreat in the vibrant heart of San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter. Perfectly blending laid-back coastal vibes with sleek, urban style, this one-of-a-kind home is designed to be your getaway oasis in the middle of all the action.

From the moment you arrive, you'll feel immersed in a surf-inspired haven. Every detail—crisp, modern decor, natural wood finishes, and beachy accents—pays homage to the SoCal surf lifestyle.

7 actual beds no air mattresses or sofa-beds. This is the only 4-bedroom 4-bath for rent in all downtown San Diego. It is close to Convention Center, Petco Park, and Nightlife. Designed in a very cool "California Modern Surf" theme. This is not a party house. Person booking home must be over 25.

Great location & spacious

Great centralized location with a short walk to the gas lamp district, short car ride to the zoo, Catalina, and SS Midway. Home was very clean and spacious for 7 adults. James was super responsive when I had a question about parking. Would recommend staying here again!

Wonderful weekend with family and friends celebrating a birthday in the Gaslamp. Perfect gathering place for everyone to meet and walking distance to everywhere we needed to be. 1. Host was immediately responsive with every question and a pleasure to work with. 2. Home was clean and well appointed. 3. Beds were super comfy. Beds/bedroom layout worked great for family and close friends. Thanks for letting us enjoy your home!

Conference stay with coworkers

We stayed at James’s condo while in town for a conference. It was four females coworkers and his place perfectly accommodated all of us with 4 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms on different floors so we could spread out. He even has 3 brand new sets of washers and dryers. 2 in the garage and one on the top floor. We arrived early and he was able to accommodate getting us in early and was super responsive. The place was clean and spacious. I would definitely stay here again! Only negative comment is that there are a lot of homeless one block away but that tends to be the norm in San Diego these days.

Great property, great location

This was a great spot for our group. Finding a nice and large place to stay in downtown is not easy. There are many smaller, more affordable places, but when you need space and a great location this place checks all of the boxes. I actually felt like the photos did not do justice in terms of the amount of space. The living area, kitchen, and bathrooms all felt much larger than the pictures portrayed. The host was very accommodating and communication was great. Not to mention the place is VERY nice and a little more upscale than your typical downtown VRBO. With the right size group I would absolutely stay here again. I would mention the parking is a bit tight as described in the description. The garage itself is nice and spacious but the driveway is very narrow so maneuvering can be challenging even for a smaller SUV. We were driving a jeep Cherokee but we were able to make it work. Zero complaints and I appreciate the stay.

Best Vacation Rental Ever!

Words can't describe the surprise waiting for us at "The Surf House". Many times when booking rentals, the photos look awesome, the amenities look amazing, and the beds look comfy, but what do you actually get? Run down, Skid Row-like housing. The Surf House was everything plus more. The photos matched the actual house: 10/10 The amenities were top notch: 10/10 The owners were on top of everything, including communication and receptiveness: 10/10. Closeness to the Gaslamp Quarter and Little Italy: 10/10 The estimated number the house can sleep to reality: 10/10 No gripes here..... I will be booking this place EVERYTIME I come to San Diego.
