Wonderful stay! Loved the property, which has plenty of space and beautiful foliage. We loved sitting on the front steps in the morning, sipping our coffee among the ferns. We all slept comfortably. Loved the hot tub, having off-street parking, and being in walking distance to everything in Old Town. Very convenient location just off the freeway and easy to get to downtown and OB. Would love to stay again!

House exactly as pictured. One suggestion is more hangers in the bedrooms. There were enough for 4 adults, if the third bedroom was used, there may not have been enough. Thank you for the great stay in Old San Diego!

Location was the best for our daughter’s Grandparents weekend at USD. Also, the location is perfect to walk around Old Town and get dinner seeing the parking is a nightmare usually. The house is beautiful and old with original detail. It was very clean and the Bluewater Vacation Homes was easy to communicate with. Beds were cozy and comfortable. I used the concierge service to have groceries delivered before we arrived which was such an easy process! I definitely recommend using Elite Concierge!!

Such a pleasure to visit San Diego and have a beautiful place to call "home". Property had everything needed to relax: comfortable beds, nicely equipped kitchen, hot tub, and the proximity to restaurants, shopping, and the fun Ghost Tours!

Delightful property in Old Town
We enjoyed the location very much-a half block to Old Town but not noisy and a short walk to Presidio Park. Rooms were comfortable and house had everything we needed. This will be our go-to place in San Diego.

Our family had a great stay at your charming historical home in the heart of Old Town. The house was clean, beds were comfortable and the private backyard with hot tub was amazing!

Beautiful property, great location!
This lovely house had so much character! Everything was very clean and the furnishings were so comfortable. We loved the spacious courtyard and the hot tub too. It was walking distance from all the great restaurants in Old Town San Diego, so every day I was able to get my fix of roasted corn and flan at Coyote Cafe. Such a great stay!

Six long-time girlfriends spent five nights in this charming home. We loved all the indoor and outdoor spaces. The Host provided everything we needed and check-in and check-out was a breeze. The home is so walkable to Old Town and a short walk to the Trolley Station. Many great shops and restaurants within walking distance. Short Uber rides took us everywhere we needed to go. We were very happy with our stay, and the Host is very responsive to questions. 10 stars!

Our stay-Feb 2025
My family stayed at this property for a week. We had a great time! The home is nice and cozy and the location is terrific. SD old-town is a block away and where there are many fine restaurants and shops. Many of SD popular tourist places including the downtown district are just a short drive away as well. The home is well kept and the host company is very accessible and responsive. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in SD.

This beautiful property was perfect for my son’s USMC graduation! It was spacious enough for everyone to feel like they had enough privacy and room to be comfortable. We also loved the historic aspect of the home and surrounding area. Communication with the property manager couldn’t have been better! I highly recommend staying here.
