NEW PHOTOS!

Below you will find details about our NEW 2 bed/ 1 bath cottage in Bay Park, Dolphin Bay Hideaway!

This lot has two homes overlooking Mission Bay from the street. The front and back cottages can be booked separately or together! The backyard is a communal space shared between the units. The owners designed the entire property to evoke a sense of zen. Thoughtful landscape and touches will have you and your friends and family feel immediately at ease.

This property is in a very central location to the beach, downtown San Diego, the airport, and amusement parks like Belmont and Balboa with the Zoo! Less than half of a mile walking distance to Bay Park Coffee, Harland Brewing Co, and restaurants like Luce Bar & Kitchen! A 5 minute drive to Sprouts Farmers Market grocery store, Starbucks, Pharmacy, Yoga studio, and more! Less than 2 miles to Mission Bay, and to Old Town with the Trolley and Amtrak to take you all around.

The front cottage was remodeled in 2012 and includes two bedrooms and one bathroom with a private front patio space. Grab a great book and float in the hammock breeze!

The interior is cozy but minimalist with just the accessories and furnishings needed to feel at home. The kitchen is fully equipped to cook and dine with a shared propane grill on the back patio! Take the meal outside to the dining table and enjoy with the SeaWorld fireworks show!

Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining table and breakfast bar for 5 guests. The living space welcomes you to kick back after a day of exploring. Catch your favorite show or movie with the Roku app.

Each bedroom includes a king size bed, ample closet storage, ceiling fan and window coverings. One bedroom has a window a/c unit. The kitchen also has a window a/c unit. Additional portable fans can be found in the closets. The shared bathroom has a tub and shower.

Extra amenities include a stackable washer and dryer next to the kitchen, beach accessories including chairs, umbrella and boogie boards in the communal outdoor shed in the backyard, and baby equipment such as pack 'n play, full size crib and high chair are available for rent.

Speaking of the communal space, the backyard is a beautiful oasis with brand new turf! Tastefully landscaped to bring the zen with fresh lavender, rosemary and wisteria plants - even a meditation bench! Relax in the hot tub or grill and dine on the porch. Plenty of lounge seating and hammocks for a late afternoon snooze! There is an outdoor shower (not fully enclosed) for rinsing off sandy feet and beach accessories.

Other features include dual pane windows, custom kitchen cabinets, stainless steels appliances, granite counter tops, and hardwood flooring throughout! Plenty of parking is available on the street.

Come enjoy the SoCal zen bay and beach life at this beautiful property, and don't forget to bring the fur babies! This home is pet friendly with an additional fee.

PET FRIENDLY GUIDELINES: Please be aware that the backyard is shared between guests of the front and back units. As this property is pet-friendly, people and fur babies can enjoy the amenities! That being said, we expect respect and consideration from our guests when sharing the space. Please note, the yard is NOT enclosed, and it is NOT private. Please be mindful that other guests may not be interested in the company of your pets. All dogs must be leashed when sharing the yard with other people and pets.

Policies & House Rules

What to expect after booking:
We manage properties on behalf of our owners. Upon confirming your booking, we will send you a rental agreement for your upcoming stay which you will need to complete. This agreement reviews our terms and conditions, house rules and policies, and what to expect of your stay. We will also contact you within 24 hours of the booking to obtain contact information and to address any questions or concerns you may have regarding your upcoming visit. The check-in details will not be shared until the rental agreement has been signed, payment has been made, and the guest has connected with one of our guest services agents.

In addition to completing our electronic rental agreement, you will also be required to participate in our identity verification process. The Verify Hub service is offered through Autohost; an intelligent guest screening software that automates ID verifications, background and credit checks, security deposits and more, helping to improve guest experience and safety. Please note: for the credit card verification, a $2 hold will be placed on the card to run the report. This hold will never process and will fall off automatically within 7 days.

Property Appearance:
Vacation rentals in San Diego are for the most part, second homes for the owners. Therefore, some furniture or decor may differ from what is pictured because the owners needed or wanted to replace something. Professional photos are expensive and we can not re-photograph the rental every time something is changed but we do maintain the listing content with any notable furnishing changes especially related to sleeping arrangements. (*Please note: We do not give refunds because a piece of furniture or artwork has changed)

Property Responsibilities:
If you have never stayed in a vacation rental before, we are not a hotel, WE ARE BETTER! We offer many of the same luxuries of a hotel with the comfort and space of home to share with your whole family. Our property owners are our friends and we work with each owner to offer a special, specific and ideal environment for guests to experience and enjoy. All of our homes offer similar amenities so you can expect the same experience whenever staying with us.

With that said, we need you to do your part in helping us maintain each home. Please be attentive to ALL RESPONSIBILITIES as a guest of our home. Trash/Recycling, Check-out duties, Communication to management, Replacement of keys/fobs/remotes, and Care of the home all help us give each guest and family a home to feel at home in. We appreciate your assistance in making our homes and our business unlike any other!

ALL OF OUR PROPERTIES ARE NON-SMOKING.
Many buildings are also managed by HOAs who will fine guests for misconduct.

Noise:
This home is in a residential neighborhood and, as such, is a NOISE SENSITIVE property. Respect must be shown for the property and neighbors at all times. No loud music, parties, and or loud talking outside after 9 pm. Violation of these rules MAY result in immediate eviction from the property per your rental agreement, and/or fines from the San Diego Police. Please review your rental agreement for complete details and rules about your home!

Starter Kit:
We like our guests to feel at home as soon as they arrive! We provide a 'starter kit' to help our guests get settled without needing to rush off to the store. Our kits include: paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo/conditioner, soap, linens, towels, kitchen sponges, dish soap, laundry detergent and fabric softener, dishwasher soap when applicable, trash bags, extra blankets, sometimes extra pillows, extra sheets-for sleeper sofas, hair dryers, ironing boards, kitchens fully stocked-enough for max occupancy with some extra settings, toasters, some waffle makers, blenders, tool kits, first aid kits, fire extinguishers, and co2/fire detectors.

Arrival/Departure Policy:
Check in time is 3 pm and strictly enforced. (From Memorial Day through Labor Day, check-in is at 4pm)
Check out time is 11 am.
Please follow all instructions for your arrival and departure in our email and phone call correspondence. There is signage around the home to assist with the use of amenities and questions that you may have during your stay. We are available too, even after hours-give us a call!

Holiday 2024 Policy:
6 night minimum AND Saturday check-in is REQUIRED during our holiday season (December 21-January 4). One reservation CANNOT take both holidays, unless it is a 2-week reservation. There are no arrivals OR departures on Christmas or New Year's Day.
*An arrival on a Friday or Sunday may be possible, please inquire if your group needs accommodations that are different as we may be able to accommodate you!

Summer 2024 Policy:
Beginning Memorial Day to Labor Day, Saturday to Saturday is required with 6-7 night reservations. On July 4th 2024, check-in or check-out is NOT permitted. An arrival on a Friday or Sunday may be possible, please inquire if your group needs accommodations that are different as we may be able to accommodate you.

Last Minute Booking Policy:
If a guest books with us directly or on any OTA such as Airbnb and VRBO, within 72 hours of arrival, verification credentials are required. By making a payment on the reservation, the guest agrees to comply with our last minute booking policy.

To properly vet a guest with such short notice requires the following; a “selfie” photo specifically of the booking guest's face and holding either a Driver's License, Passport or State ID photo under their chin. We are just looking for a name to match and the photo on the ID to match that of the person in the selfie. This can be sent by email or text to our company email address. Additionally, we need to confirm guest details such as payment, contact information, applicable check-in time, number of guests and ages, any pets, etc.

This process is required, and if a guest refuses to comply then the reservation will be canceled. We have found this procedure to be successful in avoiding fraud, and protecting all parties! We appreciate your cooperation and we are available to help with any questions.

Nightly Minimum Policy:
4 night minimum required in the off season.
6 nights AND a Saturday Check-in is REQUIRED during peak season (June - August). Arrival on Friday or Sunday instead may be an option.
(Please inquire if your group needs accommodations that are different as we may be able to accommodate you!)

Rate Policy: Prices change on a daily basis so the rates you see today may be higher or lower when booking!
