New Year’s get together with our Italian Contingent.

Overall everyone had a blast. Well suited for families. As the main cook, I was disappointed with lack of conventional oven. Also lighting in first level bathroom was really inadequate. We selected this place because it was close to other family units in the area and that was a big plus. Enjoyed proximity to ocean and bay.

Fantastic place!

My family has spent a lot of time on houseboat and water type vacations, so the Tugboat House was right up our alley. It really gives the feeling of being on a boat! From entering in the “galley” kitchen, the boat curve of the walls and the incredible beam ceilings, it is just a cool place. Very comfortable for everyone in our family and we had room to spare. The location is perfect as well, being on the south side of the beach right in between the beach and the bay, the walk to either side was easy. There’s an abundance of places to gather, outside in the small yard, the second “deck” at the table and then topside to watch the Sea World fireworks at night. We LOVED it!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Kuerbis

California born and raised and proud to call San Diego my home. My father is aSan Diego native and our family has been here since the 1920's.

Why they chose this property

I have dreamed of owning a house at South Mission Beach as long as I can remember. Being an avid surfer and beach volleyball player probably has a little to do with that. So, when this house was listed for sale, I did everything I could possibly do to acquire it. I look forward to sharing it with my family and friends as well as yours for years to come.

What makes this property unique

The roof top deck is a nice place to lay in the sun with a little more privacy than the beach. The boardwalk that goes all the way up to Pacific beach is just outside my door and I have always seen something entertaining or unusual while walking or riding a bike on the boardwalk.
