Cottage vacation rentals in Hillcrest, San Diego

My family loved this place! It is walking distance to the beach, coffee shops, eateries and convenience stores. You'll get used to the airplanes flying overhead every 20 minutes (and they don't fly after about 11 pm, so that's nice). Check in, and out, was super easy. We're already planning on coming back for summer!!!!

Everything was perfect and peaceful and we enjoyed our stay very much!!! it was convenient that The washer and dryer were there. Definitely would stay again.

Loved this cute cottage sanctuary steps from the beach and boardwalk! It was incredibly well-stocked for 3 adults who cooked all our meals at the house. We loved the patio for mealtimes and relaxing. The hot tub was lovely and hosts provided proactive instructions to maintain how nice and clean it was! Bathroom was clean, too. We appreciated the beach supplies available. No kids in our group, but we noticed how the Airbnb was stocked with many toys and supplies! Walkable to plenty of restaurants, coffeeshops, bars, and grocery store. Andrea was super helpful and reached out over text to ensure a smooth check-in. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

I was looking for a place for spring break with a pool and Aurrora's place was perfect! Has everything you need, is easy to locate, and is in such a great location. I would book again!

100% Wonderful! Lovely cottage. Very clean and pretty. Everything you need is there & in good working order. Beautiful gardens, peaceful, safe. Hot tub was hot and well maintained. Walk to coffee shops, restaurants, and the gorgeous beach. We had a very, very good experience here. Thank you. Highest recommendations.

We had a great stay at this apartment. The kids and I especially loved the hot tub, which was a fun and relaxing way to wind down each evening. I didn’t get a chance to try the sauna, but it’s a nice extra touch. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped. I also appreciated that the owners provided tea and coffee for their guests. While the apartment is technically suitable for more, I’d recommend it for no more than two people, as the sofa bed wasn’t the most comfortable for sleeping. The location was excellent, and we had no trouble finding parking right in front of the house. Finally, the host was very responsive and attentive. Overall, I would highly recommend this place.

We stayed a week and this small house had everything two people needed for a very pleasant stay. It is very comfortable, relaxed, but also clean and tidy. There were many small touches that made it special. Location put you right in the midst of coffee shops and restaurants.

Wonderful place. Exactly what we were looking for. Russell was very responsive

Great spot for 1 or 2 people. Quiet and very close to shops and restaurants of south park.

Perfect little home base while visiting SD! Would definitely recommend.

Great experience, great location. It's on a main street so it's busy with traffic, at times. Not a bad thing, but just something to point out. The front is private and gated from the traffic by a beautiful and inviting area to lounge and hang out with our pups. Lovely home with all that we needed during our stay. Great host and super responsive! Would love to stay again!

I recently visited Victor’s house for a month. The house was exactly as pictured and he was very responsive throughout my stay. I brought along three medium-large sized dogs. The yard was perfect for them. It was difficult to find a place in SD to stay with bigger dogs, let alone that has a fully-fenced yard, but it exceeded my expectations. I was also able to cook, given all of the kitchen utensils. There was even some spices, coffee, and a Brita to use. There were various kitchen gadgets available as well. Never having experienced CA before, I never gave parking a second thought. Victor’s place is great because it has a driveway, guaranteeing a spot no matter the time of day. Victor was thorough, friendly, and accommodating. If I were to visit again, I would definitely stay here!

We have stayed with Lisa multiple times in the past year. It’s like a home away from home. Very easy to get to and convenient to visiting friends and family. Very quiet neighborhood and cozy place inside.

We loved staying at the cottage! The place was clean and fit our needs perfectly. Love that it’s so dog friendly and it made it easy for us to include our dog on vacation! Michael is very easy going and communicative- highly recommend staying here!

Property is well kept and we really enjoyed our stay! Perfect place to relax! The common area was great for our dog to roam! Highly recommend for your fur baby! Thank you Denise!

We stayed here to celebrate my birthday and enjoyed our stay! Location was very close by many coffee shops and food which was nice. The cottage was well furnished and clean! Jordy was very proactive and ensured our stay was good.

Great stay if you want to bring your dog to the beach. Lots of great dog friendly restaurants and the beach is just outside your door. Even if you don’t have a dog it’s still a great spot.

I booked Robert's place as it was close to a wedding venue we were coming into town for. The location was perfect and close to so many great places. The house was perfect with all the amenities we needed and more. I love the personal touch of snacks and a fridge full of a variety of drinks. The bed was very comfortable and the entire place was very clean. He also had a steamer which made it nice to touch up my husband's suit and my dress. I could go on and on about what a great stay this was. I would 100% book his place again when coming back to San Diego.

Best of the best! This place is an oasis with wonderful hospitality and attention to detail. The cottages are super well cared for, very clean and well stocked. The garden is an incredible space to relax and unwind in. I felt like I was staying at a spa for my soul. It was really a gift to be able to stay here. Thank you Linda and Santos!

I loved staying at Anna’s cottage. It’s beautiful, serene, and in a great location. Anna is a kind, lovely host. Her care for her guests’comfort is apparent in everything— excellent communication, comfortable, really attractive furnishings and lighting, thoughtful amenities, the sense of light and uncluttered space everywhere in the house. Lovely outside space too. And such a beautiful view! I didn’t want to leave.

I had an extended stay at Daniel’s place and had a great time. The place could not be in a more perfect spot close to everything you could want to do. It was the perfect California experience. Daniel was also responsive and provided great recommendations. Overall this was an awesome time!

great place and host. would visit again
