3 Bedroom House in Hillcrest, San Diego

WALK-TO-EVERYTHING HILLCREST-MISSION HILLS HIDEAWAY FOR GROUPS
Your San Diego Escape Starts Here
Sunset dips, s'mores crackle, and the San Diego Zoo waits just 10 minutes up the road—welcome to your private Hillcrest-Mission Hills home, purpose-built for groups who want to walk to brunch yet unwind in a hot tub when the day is done. Whether you're gathering the whole crew for a beach weekend, hosting a milestone celebration, or bringing multi-generational family together, this single-level home puts everything in one place: hot tub, fire pit, full chef's kitchen, retro arcade, ping-pong table, and fast Wi-Fi to stay connected (or disconnect) exactly as you choose.
The Space
Set on a single level and spanning roughly 1,500 sq ft, the home was thoughtfully renovated with groups in mind. A wide great room links the living area, dining table for ten, and fully outfitted chef's kitchen—so no one has to miss the conversation while someone cooks. Central A/C keeps things comfortable year-round, while a Sonos sound system and retro arcade cabinet dial the fun up a notch. Three smart TVs and a game console mean movie nights and game tournaments have a home here. Fast 400 Mbps Wi-Fi covers the whole house, and a dedicated desk handles video calls or remote work seamlessly.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms (Sleeps 10)
Bedroom 1: King bed, ensuite shower/bath, blackout shades, roomy closet
Bedroom 2: Queen bed, blackout shades
Bedroom 3: Two Queen beds configured as a sturdy bunk, blackout shades
Two portable twin roll-away beds tuck anywhere you need them
Bathroom 1: Ensuite to Bedroom 1
Bathroom 2: Tub/shower combo, plentiful towels, starter toiletries
All beds are dressed in quality linens. Both bathrooms are stocked with hair dryers, full-length mirrors, and plenty of hooks so everyone can stay organized. Blackout shades in every bedroom mean sleeping in after a night out is always an option.
Kitchen & Dining
Whether you're flipping pancakes or plating a private-chef dinner (ask about our add-on package), the kitchen has you covered: stainless steel appliances, gas range, dishwasher, rice maker, drip coffee maker, and a full complement of cookware, knives, and serving ware for feeding a crowd. A gas BBQ stands ready in the backyard, and extra bar seating keeps the chef company while you prep. The dining table seats ten comfortably indoors; the outdoor dining area accommodates up to 14, making alfresco dinners under café lights a real possibility.
Backyard Oasis
Slide open the French door and step into an outdoor playground made for California evenings. The stock-tank hot tub can be heated for a spa-like soak (note: it takes about an hour to heat up—plan ahead if you want hot water). A fire pit lounge area (the round black fire pits are operational; the square table pit is decorative only) gathers everyone for stories under the stars. Café lights overhead create the perfect ambiance for grilling dinner and dining alfresco. The fully fenced yard lets kids and well-behaved dogs roam safely, and sun loungers are available for daytime relaxation.
Entertainment & Recreation
Retro arcade cabinet with classic games
Ping-pong table and board games
Game console and three smart TVs for movie nights
Sonos sound system throughout
Family & Pet Friendly
Travel lighter—we provide: crib, high chair, baby bath, and safety gates so families with little ones don't have to pack as much. The fully fenced yard and pet-friendly policy mean dogs have a safe place to play. A washer and dryer handle sandy towels and laundry after beach days.
Parking & Access
Park up to three cars in the private driveway. Free street parking is plentiful if additional vehicles are needed. Self-check-in via personalized smart-lock code sent the morning of arrival. Check in any time after 4 p.m.

2. Thoughtful extras for families and pets—crib, high chair, safety gates, fenced yard, washer/dryer—so you can pack light and focus on fun.
3. Superhost status with 74 five-star reviews (4.97 avg rating) and "Guest Favorite" status means you're in experienced, trusted hands. We typically reply to messages within the hour.
4. Walk-to-everything location eliminates rideshare costs on many days—everything from brunch to breweries is on foot.

Good to Know
Quiet hours and San Diego Short-Term Rental Ordinance (STRO) rules are strictly observed. Small, cozy gatherings are always welcome; large parties are not permitted. This policy is monitored and enforced.
The stock-tank hot tub is not a jacuzzi. Plan to start the pump and heater about one hour before you want to use hot water.
Two decorative fire features—the indoor fireplace and the square table pit in the backyard—are non-operational. The round black fire pits are operational and can be used with firewood.
