Summary:
Private Home + Yard about 15 houses from the beach!

The Space:
This 1920's crafstman-style home with small yard is a true gem. As a vintage home in a relatively quiet neighborhood, it's perfect for guests wanting more tranquility than the partying areas of SD.
Enjoy indoor or outdoor dining. The vintage kitchen has what you need to prepare meals from scratch including a spice rack and condiments. The outdoor and indoor tables each seat four.
The cozy living room has a soft, down-stuffed sofa that can seat 2 adults and 2 kids. This cozy little room is most comfortable when the sofa bed is in couch position, however, if you need a 3rd bed, the sofa opens up.
Our 2-bedroom/ 1 bath offers the following:
Main bedroom with queen bed, drawers, closet, a window, access to the bathroom (Tranquila has a second entrance to bathroom via kitchen). It has an air conditioner for Summer. Other times of year, the home stays quite comfortable with natural ventilation.
The guest room offers a tall, full-size platform bed with a lot of space for luggage beneath it. It's small with no closet but has some clothing storage. It has a large window to let in natural light and beachy air. It comes with a fan for cooling.
Security screen doors at front and back of house allow ocean breeze to naturally refresh the home while you're in it or away.
Enjoy outdoor dining with a private outdoor space and a table that seats 4.

We were close to beaches and were walking distance to many good bars, restaurants and cafe’s. Host was excellent with communication and was super helpful with our booking. Would definitely stay here again

I loved staying at this property and hope to book it again in the future. My dog had a great time as well. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood and an easy walk to a beautiful beach.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·May 2024
You always sacrifice a little to stay in a dog friendly place. But it was worth it in order to have our dogs stay with us, to have a little grass/patio area for them, and to not worry about products around the house that might adversely affect the dogs. The house is quaint and kept very clean… it’s just got some aging signs which are mentioned in the write up. A good dog friendly place. Would stay again. We liked being able to walk to the beach, and we were right off of La Jolla Blvd so easy access to restaurants. (Shout out to great little restaurant/ bar Nautilus Tavern for good food and good vibe… loved the local live band that did an awesome job with music from Santana).
6.0 / 10.0Average·Apr 2023
We loved the house itself and the character. One of the reasons we rented this particular place is because of our dogs. The advertisement showed a small side yard with grass, a BBQ grill, a small dining table and a fenced yard. When we arrived we were very disappointed to see grass that was 1.5- 2 feet tall, multiple large weeds growing and some were 6 ft tall (used my height as a reference) and the weeds could be seen over the fence line. The fence was rotted and falling apart. We could not access the BBQ or the the table, nor could we sit out in the yard. Our dogs had minimal safe space to run and use the bathroom.
The back patio had pavers and ivy/ vine growth which was fine excpet for the fact that there were building materials covered by a tarp, yard debris, beach items, etc. It was also concerning that the neighboring rental space had door/ gate access (which they used) to our patio space which again was unsafe for our dogs and intrusive upon out privacy.
Again, we loved the house and the character and will say give this place a try with exception of the yard/ patio space.
