San Diego Swimming Pool on Stunning Canyon in Hillcrest Mission Hills -Walkable!

Modern Urban Retreat, Perfect Central Location

Freshly renovated pool 2023 (Even better than before!).

This home is perfect for visitors of San Diego who want to stay very close to all of the city’s major attractions (San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park with museums and theaters, Sea World, downtown Gaslamp district, beaches) and be within walking distance to numerous restaurants and bars, while still having the option to chill by a large pool and fire pit in a canyon setting. Also just 14 mins to the airport or beach!

Description:

The Space
The property offers a mix of traditional and modern architecture, with contemporary amenities and a zen front garden with water fountain that is frequently visited by hummingbirds and dragonflies. San Diego’s famously perfect weather all year-round lends itself well to outdoor living every month of the year. The pool patio with deck above a canyon features a large swimming pool, a fire pit with comfortable seating area, landscaping, and a dining table and grill for barbecuing on those many warm Southern California evenings. A truly magical location to enjoy sunset. This home is a rare find in the densely populated urban center of San Diego, where large canyon-side pools are very hard to find.

The house itself sleeps 6 adults in maximum comfort (extra children can also be accommodated with air beds). It offers one master bedroom with King-sized ultra-plush bed and en-suite bathroom (with two person shower) upstairs and two bedrooms (one with medium-firm Queen-sized bed and one with two TwinXL memory-foam beds that can be converted into one true king bed) downstairs. There is a modern bathroom with large jetted tub/shower combination and luxurious European hardware conveniently located between the two downstairs bedrooms. All bedrooms are appointed with high-thread-count sheets, high-end mattresses, and luxurious towels. The gourmet contemporary kitchen features a 6-burner Dacor dual-fuel range, top-of-the-line Bosch dishwasher, microwave/convection oven, large 42" French-door refrigerator and is stocked with plates, glasses, silverware, pots & pans, and anything else that you might need for a meal cooked and enjoyed at home. The dining room table comfortably seats 8 people. We hope that you will enjoy the living room with its modern furniture, a 52” TV & surround sound audio with Cable access, and lovely view of the beautiful pool area (pool can be heated at additional cost). The long driveway along the side of the house can easily accommodate three cars. Additionally there is a washer/dryer hidden in the kitchen. WiFi access throughout the property facilitates 50Mbps internet access.

The Neighborhood
The home is located on a small street in San Diego’s Hillcrest/Mission Hills residential neighborhood. Hillcrest’s lively, diverse, and eclectic center with countless restaurants and bars is about a 10-minute walk away. We are located 1.3 miles from beautiful Balboa Park with close to 20 museums, gardens, and theaters, 2 miles from the San Diego Zoo, 3.8 miles from San Diego’s famous downtown Gaslamp district with bars, restaurants and shops, 5.8 miles from Sea World, 3.6 miles from the airport, and 6 – 8 miles from some of the city’s most beautiful beaches. The nearest grocery store is less than a 10-minute walk away from the house.

Beautiful pool home
Had a great stay with family. The pool was heaven and I’m glad I requested to have it heated. The home is nicely appointed, clean and the beds were comfy. Jesse our host was easy to work with and very gracious. Would love to return some day.

Amazing Stay
We loved our stay. The house was a real gem. There was plenty of parking for 3 cars which was a huge plus and the house and kitchen were amazing. I will agree that this rental was one of the best stocked rentals I have ever stayed at which was a huge plus. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and the location is very close to a grocery store and lots of restaurants. My only regret is that I didn’t realize how cool it is in San Diego even in the summer and I didn’t opt to heat the pool so my kids thought it was too cold to swim.

Fantastic location and great pool
Our family (4 adults + 2 kids) had a wonderful time at this property. We loved the pool / outdoor area. We paid to heat the pool but worth it in November. Bedrooms were comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. Great neighborhood with many restaurants/coffee/grocery stores within 15 minutes walking distance. Check-in time is later than most, but we were driving in from Anaheim so not an issue for us. Only noise came from a few helicopters landing at a nearby hospital. Would definitely recommend!

Had a great time and the main reason was the central location of the property and the amazing pool and view from the pool area. The property was clean and met all of our needs.

Great stay!
Had a great stay at this home! Super clean and no issues, whatsoever. The views were magical and our kids loved the pool. The pool is pretty deep so, if you have young swimmers, you may want to bring a life jacket. There were plenty of floaties/pool toys. The location was great- close to Balboa park, Fashion Valley, and innumerable restaurants.

Terrific SD Vacation
Great vacation for me and 3 guys who came out to golf and just hang out. The pool/deck makes this property special with the view, gas fire, and overall size and comfort and the location was tremendous. Would recommend paying extra and heating the pool if you are looking to use that. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a spot to stay in SD!

Better than advertised
House, pool, location were great. The house was clean with plenty of room. The pool and deck with the canyon view was a great place to chill. The location was close to the beach, old town, balboa park, and downtown. Also plenty of local restaurants within walking distance. Overall it was a great stay!!

Comfortable home with killer pool and canyon views
We had a great stay at Hillcrest. The property is clean and comfortable with well equipped kitchen and bedrooms - definitely much more than your average vacation rental. We spent almost all of our time in the pool or on the deck overlooking the canyon. It was incredibly relaxing and brilliantly located for everything San Diego has to offer like the Zoo, Old Town, and Gas Lamp District. We would certainly stay there again.

Perfect Home Base for SD
Our family of 5, with two teenagers and one 10 year old, had a fantastic time in San Diego, and this home served as the perfect landing spot for us. Initially we thought the pool would be used minimally, but the reality was that we were able to pack in a lot of SD experiences, but the times we weren't out meant the kids were in the pool. Outside of the pool, the accommodations had all we needed to make our stay comfortable. We came and went multiple times per day. The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. We'd definitely stay again.
