About the property

Firework views for July 4th! Enjoy brand-new bathrooms and a spacious 3-bed, 3-bath layout in this private hillside retreat. This 1,500 sq ft single-level guest apartment features its own entrance, a private deck, and stunning sunset views overlooking San Diego Bay, Point Loma, and Old Town. Located on the lower level of our family home, guests access the space via a well-lit staircase with a sturdy railing, just 12 steps from the garage to your serene, stylish escape.

Families, adventurers, and weekend wanderers will fall in love with the unbeatable location of this San Diego gem. Just steps from two charming neighborhood parks and minutes from world-class attractions like SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Mission Bay, Petco Park, and the buzzing Gaslamp Quarter, this home puts the best of the city right at your fingertips.

Nestled in the heart of Mission Hills, a walkable, welcoming community, you’ll find cozy coffee shops, locally loved restaurants, and boutique shopping all within strolling distance. Whether you're grabbing brunch, sipping lattes, or browsing for gifts, the neighborhood vibe is relaxed, friendly, and full of character.

And when you're ready to explore beyond the neighborhood, you're perfectly positioned. With two major freeways nearby, you can be in La Jolla or Del Mar in under 20 minutes, hit the roller coasters at Legoland, or take a wild safari at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Want to add a little international flavor to your trip? Mexico is just a quick 20-minute drive away, perfect for a day trip to Tijuana or a sunset dinner across the border.

Private single level guest apartment (1,500 sq ft.) at the bottom of our family home. Bottom level overlooks a hill with unparalleled views of San Diego Bay, Point Loma, Old Town, etc. and includes a private deck. Guests access home via set of 12 stairs next to garage. Well lit staircase with sturdy railing.

Very minimal and most often on the street during parking. Happy to help with planning or answer questions during the stay - but we strive to keep the space private for our guests.

Mission Hills is a hidden gem, very centrally located and close to downtown San Diego, but with a quaint, historic neighborhood charm. People are often surprised to find the incredible views overlooking San Diego Bay and downtown tucked amongst the historic Craftsman, Spanish, and Modern homes that hug Mission Hills' manicured streets. A walkable neighborhood with multiple parks, including Presidio, Pioneer, and Heritage, we are also lucky to have numerous coffee shops and restaurants nearby. Even Old Town is in walking distance to those willing to make the effort. The house is close to two neighborhood parks, as well as major attractions, including Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, and Balboa Park.

By car is best. Mission Hills also has great walks for architecture and history lovers. Houses are unique, from Spanish Revival to Modern to Traditional. Even walking distance to Junipero Serra Mission and Presidio Park.

Live the life of luxury in our centrally located, newly built Cape Cod in the exclusive neighborhood of Mission Hills. Lounge on the deck and enjoy the sunset over Point Loma and warm ocean breezes. Watch Navy and cruise ships traverse San Diego Bay as one of the most active ports on the west coast. Marvel over the top of Heritage Square and its historic homes from the balcony. Walk to Presidio Park for a quick game of soccer or Old Town, the birthplace of California, for margaritas and delicious Mexican food. Also, very close to the Marine Corp Recruit Depot (MCRD) and we love hosting our military families.

The bright and airy home has windows and sliding glass doors throughout every room overlooking spectacular views. Two master suites with large closets and ample space make it easy to travel with multiple adults, plus an additional bedroom with twin beds is perfect for children. The bathrooms have been newly renovated with a double vanity in the master bathroom, tub available in the hallway bathroom, and new shower in the second ensuite bathroom.

The well-equipped home comes with a full kitchen, washer/dryer, and comfortable living room, making this a perfect sanctuary to relax or a launch pad for an active family vacation.

Families will love the close proximity of two neighborhood parks, as well as major San Diego attractions, including Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Mission Bay and Beach, Petco Park, Gaslamp Quarter and many more. Mission Hills is a very walkable community with coffee houses, restaurants, and shops close by. Conveniently located close to two freeways (I5 and I8), La Jolla, Del Mar, Legoland and the Wild Animal Park are short trips. Even Mexico is only 20 minutes!

Jaime’s home was absolutely perfect. Very comfortable, great location, can’t beat the views! Everything was clean, the kitchens and restrooms were well stocked. I hope to return some day!

I can’t say enough good things about Jamie’s spot! The porch, the openness, the views, and it had everything you’d need to feel at home while away. The neighborhood was beautiful. Parking was easy when we were there and never had to park further than 2-3 houses down. Prime location to feel out of the city but close to get anywhere in no time! If I could give it more stars I would! Awesome host and phenomenal spot in SD! Thank you for having us Jamie, we hope to be back!

Our stay at the Mission Hills property hosted by Jaime exceeded our expectations. We didn’t know what to expect when booking, but we were pleasantly surprised by how beautifully maintained, clean, and private the property was. It was also very well stocked with essential items and thoughtful amenities that made the stay comfortable and easy. The location was excellent — close to Old Town, restaurants, shopping, and everything we needed, while still feeling peaceful and secluded up on the hillside. The privacy the property offered was one of our favorite parts of the stay. Jaime was also a wonderful and hospitable host throughout the trip. We truly loved our experience and would absolutely stay at this property again the next time we visit San Diego.
