About this property

Chalcedonia Beach Gem | Single Family, Outdoor Living, Fire Pit, A/C, Parking

Chalcedonia Beach Gem is a stunning modern Spanish-style retreat designed for effortless coastal living, inside and out. Spanning three stories, this thoughtfully designed home offers multiple outdoor spaces on every level, inviting you to soak up the San Diego sunshine from morning to night.

The ground floor features two inviting patio areas. In the backyard, enjoy a private grassy lawn with outdoor dining—perfect for relaxed meals after a day at the beach. The front patio offers another grassy space with a comfortable conversational seating area, ideal for sipping your morning coffee or unwinding in the evening. On the third floor, you'll find two additional outdoor escapes. One offers high-top seating for two, perfectly positioned for sunset views from above. The other is a true retreat, featuring plush lounge seating, chaise loungers, and a cozy fire pit—an ideal setting for gathering under the stars.

Only a 12 minute walk to the beach and just one block from local restaurants and coffee spots, Chalcedonia Beach Gem strikes the perfect balance between tranquility and convenience.

Would definitely stay here again

There were 5 of us in the family traveling together from ages 28 to 83. We all loved the place! Loved the location, loved the accommodations, it was great having a garage to park in since parking is so limited in San Diego. Loved that we could contact the host anytime if needed. We would all recommend!

Beautiful Home Near the Beach

We enjoyed our stay. The home was just as beautiful as pictured and it was immaculate. We loved the private garage, 3 1/2 bathrooms, and the two beautiful rooftop decks. The home is a short 7 min. walk to the beach and restaurants are within walking distance. We had a difficult time sleeping on night one, because there was a locked closet at the foot of the bed in the master bedroom with the light on. We notified property mgmt. the next day. Then on night two, the light was mysteriously turned off. We can only assume that someone entered the property without notifying us first. We also noticed that the garbage cans were brought into the garage during our stay, and landscape workers startled me when they showed up unannounced early one morning and walked by the front door to mow the lawn. The front door is mostly glass, and I was sitting in my nightgown when I noticed a man walk by and look right at me. I would have appreciated being told that workers would be on the property. Overall, the property is beautiful and is close to anything you might want to do in San Diego.
