CasaViva Garden · 2BR/1.5BA Firepit, S'mores & Kids Playset, Near Zoo, SeaWorld

Settle into CasaViva Garden — a family-friendly 2BR with 1.5 baths in a charming 1920s craftsman, steps from the backyard with a kids' playset, firepit, and s'mores under the stars.

The Backyard (shared with neighboring units — just one flight of stairs down!)

• Gas BBQ grill for cookouts
• Borrow our sand toys or rent beach gear — boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers, and surfboards
• Hammock under a palm tree for when the kids finally crash

Your Space

The Details

Misleading listing

If your plan for San Diego is to just drop your bags and leave, this is for you. If you plan on spending time at your rental, beware of this place! The rental is on par with a college apartment. Cheap furniture, missing handles on appliances, warnings of power outages, toilet in a closet, pealing paint, dilapidated porch, and a backyard missing portions of fencing. The listing states it has A/C in all bedrooms which isn't true. Plus, add an owner who does not communicate back when issues arise, she simply ignores your emails. It's no place for a vacation.

Kinda Funky

The rooms are very small, the house has several levels so that if you are on the bottom you get a lot of noise from those above. It is also old so power kicks off (they do tell you how to put it back on) Parking is miserable. Furnishings are cheap. Kitchen utensils could use an update and sharpening. Positive: close to the zoo and park.

Why they chose this property

When you come to San Diego, you want a place that is fun!
“Casa Pacifica” is my fun and colorful 2 bedroom and 1-bath apartment with a balcony and backyard in historic and trendy North Park. Just 3 miles from downtown and around the corner from public transport, which can take you San Diego “must-sees” like the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park, as well as the sun-drenched beaches that make us famous.

Bedrooms include 2 with queen-size beds and a fold-out sofa sleeps 2 more for up to 6 guests total - perfect for family trips and couples getaways.

And for a little cleanup along the way there’s a coin-operated washer and dryer in the basement.

Take your morning coffee to the balcony, which has an unobstructed view of North Park, spend the day exploring and then gather for a BBQ in the backyard (shared with the other two units) with a BBQ grill, outdoor seating, yard games.... Or cook inside: the kitchen is fully equipped and stocked as completely as my own kitchen at home.

This rental was designed to be lively, colorful, and inviting, with its own California flavor. Lots of primary colors and fun patterns in the bedrooms and living area, plus rich hardwood floors and mid-century-inspired design -- like the 6-person dining table with tulip chairs. All of the other furnishings are brand-new, too.

Other goodies at the apartment: Free WiFi throughout and a flat-screen TV with Netflix.
Stay in or head out; eat, drink and play in North Park or downtown in the Gaslamp; relax on the balcony, in front of the fireplace or enjoy the sweeping views. And most importantly - have fun! (And let me know how I can help.)
