About this property

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. Walk to Hillcrest and North Park for eats and fun. Part of the CasaViva SD collection — 11 homes on the same block for groups of any size.

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

• Kids' playset with swings, slide, and playhouse — perfect for getting the wiggles out in the evening
• Firepit with seating and string lights
• 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

• 2 queen bedrooms with beach-themed decor
• Sleeper sofa in the living room
• Extra rollaway bed available — great as a kid's cot
• Full kitchen with gas stove and everything you need to cook
• Dining room that seats 6
• Smart TV, fast WiFi
• Private balcony overlooking the backyard and playground — watch the kids play from above

1.5 Bathrooms — No Waiting!

• Half bathroom for when you need it (and you will with a full house!)

The Details
• Window AC and heating
• Laundry in the basement (QR code payment)
• Free street parking
• 2 flights of stairs to the entrance — not ideal for mobility-challenged guests

You're in the Perfect Spot
• Walk to Hillcrest — brunch, coffee, restaurants
• Walk to North Park — craft beer, tacos, live music
• 5 min drive to the Zoo, Balboa Park, Gaslamp
• 5 min to MCRD — perfect for graduation week families
• 10-15 min to beaches, Mission Bay, SeaWorld

Good to Know
• Backyard is shared with neighboring units (great if your group books multiple CasaViva SD homes!)
• Ground level = closest to the backyard — kids can run back and forth all day while you watch from the balcony
• Pet-friendly — well-behaved furry friends welcome
• Pack 'n plays, high chairs, and baby bath tubs available on request
• Early check-in / late check-out available for a small fee

CasaViva Garden is one of 11 CasaViva SD homes on the same block. We love hosting reunions, weddings, and retreats for groups of all sizes — just ask!

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy

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.
