Family and I stayed here for a quick trip to the San Diego zoo. The neighborhood was perfect, and the property was great. We have small children so we wanted to be close to the zoo. plenty of food and coffee shops are around as well.
Love the setup of this property. Was perfect for us since we had extended family with us! Property was clean and had all of the amenities we needed. Communication was also timely! Would stay again!
We had such a lovely trip to San Diego and we are so glad we decided to stay here. The two units are both beautiful, elegant and cozy. The owners went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and happy. The two separate units were perfect for us with our kids in one and our friends in the other. We were able to walk to a great playground on the edge of Balboa Park for the kids. Great location for walking to shops, restaurants, and Balboa Park. We are looking forward to staying here again.
My wife, daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren, and I visited my daughter and husband who live in San Diego for Thanksgiving. The two units were a great venue for gathering and eating. The units were well equipped, bright, and historic. Parking was easy on the street and we walked to Balboa, restaurants, and attractions like the suspension bridge. We had a heat issue when we arrived but Laura and Don responded quickly and issue solved. We would definitely return for our next family gathering in San Diego. Thank you Laura and Don!!
The Carriage House is beautifully decorated and conveniently located for many of the popular attractions in San Diego. We had 8 adults and a baby and there was plenty of room and privacy for all. The owners were responsive and went out of their way to come and introduce themselves and meet any need that we had. We visited the San Diego Zoo and the Harbor area. We even took a ride to Coronado Island. All were a short ride from the house. The property has all the accommodations you could want or need including wifi and AT&T Uverse for TV.
Our next visit to San Diego will include a stay at the Carriage House if it is available.
The property we stayed in was actually two apartments. One with upstairs outside entry and the other on the first floor. Off street parking was less than ideal as we got boxed in one day. Hence the 4 stars. Otherwise the apartments were very roomy and well organized. Could use a better shower curtain and better knives in kitchen. Otherwise great! My family enjoyed it.
Stayed here with some old friends for a wedding at the nearby San Diego zoo. The accommodations were perfect for our group of 8 adults. The 2 separate units kept things nice and quiet for those who wanted to go to sleep earlier/wake up later, with the individual units being large enough to accommodate the whole group for socialization times. Very walkable to the gorgeous balboa park, zoo, and plenty of restaurants, breweries, etc. place was spotless and cozy and owners were very available and responsive to any issues. Would highly recommend. While there is outdoor space, proximity to main house and quietness of neighborhood would not be appropriate for groups hoping to socialize outside late at night.
We were a party of 13 in San Diego for a family reunion. 6 of us ( 4 adults and two teenage boys) stayed at this home, and 7 of us at a nearby home. Although I did not personally stay at this home, I spent quite a bit of time there, I have feedback from my family, and I interacted with the owner numerous times.
The house is actually two separate apartments, which worked out beautifully for us, as the two couples stayed in the downstairs suite (two bedrooms, each with ensuite) and the two boys had their own "bachelor pad" upstairs (two bedrooms and a shared bathroom). This gave the boys (and their parents!) some privacy and space which was much appreciated by all. The two units together is really an ideal set-up for a family with teenagers.
The units are set back from the street, which means it's quiet and feels quite private and peaceful. There is a lovely courtyard which well accommodated the whole party of 13 for outside dinners. The units were immaculately cleaned, beautifully decorated with 1920s styling , spacious and comfortable. The beds and bathrooms were very comfortable. The kitchen in the downstairs unit got the bulk of the use, and my family found it well-equipped and functional, even when we were cooking dinners for 13!
The location is terrific. You're walking distance from groceries, restaurants, funky shops, and Balboa Park, as well as being quite convenient to the airport. It's a really nice, comfortable and safe neighborhood.
Don is an exceptional host. He was welcoming, and always available (and didn't seem to mind all our little questions!) Our damage deposit was promptly refunded.
My family and I would definitely stay again. Thanks Don!!
This property is ideal for extended families and those traveling with adult children. It has two separate apartments - one above the other - with separate entrances. The beds were very comfortable with top-notch linens. It is situated in a quiet neighborhood, which is in walking distance to cafes/restaurants. We enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay again when traveling to San Diego.
Some friends I grew up with do a yearly baseball trip to a new city (16 years running!) and this year was San Diego. This place was great! It was conveniently located among all of the things we wanted to do with nothing further than a 10-15 minute Uber ride - including the airport. The location was private and quiet. Very clean and plenty of room. Highly recommend!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property! It was in a great location right next to downtown and hillcrest. Easy check-in and hosts were very communicative. Would definitely stay again!
This charming two apartment historic property was exactly as listed. Professionally decorated, extremely comfortable, and clean.
The outdoor space was a respite after a long day at Balboa Park. A nice spot for an after dinner drink and enough room for an active two year old to prance a bit.
We can't say enough about our vrbo property rep, Kris Lang. She was able to accommodate our request for early arrival making it just a little easier to get family travelling from various cities into the house on a staggered schedule.
We would definitely recommend staying in this lovely home. It was great to have our night owls in one unit and our early risers in the other. That really worked out well for our 4 adult kids. We would have no hesitation to staying in this home on a return trip.
Our group rented both the upper and lower portions of the carriage house and had plenty of room for our entire family to eat around one table and spread out in the living room. The location was great to get to the airport and local attractions. The only downside was the minimal outdoor seating, but on-site laundry was a plus. The street was quiet and we were able to find parking without any problems. The carriage house provided everything we needed for our stay - we had a great time!
Wonderful stay. Lovely, quiet area. Beautiful house. Great location close to Balboa Park and lots of dining options. Owners very responsive when needed.
What a beautiful place to stay when in San Diego! Spotless and comfortable. Gorgeous decor. Great neighborhood. The owners put together an absolutely wonderful guidebook to help familiarize us to the great restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and grocery stores in the neighborhood. Great attention was made to be sure that any amenities that might be needed were there for us!
Our party of six really enjoyed the Carriage House. Beautifully decorated with high end quality furnishings and renovated to reflect the 1920âs character of the neighborhood. Quiet, safe neighborhood, plenty of street parking, within walking distance of Balboa Park and a variety of dining options. The owners kept in contact with us, stopped by to check in, and were very accommodating to our requests. We hope to make a return visit!
The carriage house was comfortable,spacious and beautifully furnished. The location was very central
Wonderful property we would highly recommend to anyone wishing to spend quality time in San Diego! The owners were helpful and available too if needed for any questions.
We stayed at the Carriage House for a weekend. We rented both units and had a great time. The apartments have an old world charm and modern bath and kitchen. The courtyard was a relaxing place to sit.
The location is right in the middle of bankers hill. Very convenient for Balboa Park, restaurants, and coffee shops.
Don is a great host, easy to work with.
We would definitely stay there again.
We've stayed in a number on VRBO's and this has been the best ever! The location was fantastic, clean and had everything we would expect. We would stay her again as the hosts provided a wonderful home for us. Close to all the fun stuff San Diego offers!!! Don't hesitate, book it!
