About this property

Storybook Beach House 2 blocks from the Beach or Mission Bay with Pool & Hot tub

Plan the perfect family reunion or getaway in this one-of-a-kind 2,800 sq ft. historic home. Built in 1927 by the famous Scripps family in the unique "storybook" style; the home has been remodeled with the latest features to enhance its old world charm. This large house features an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, 5 separate bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and loads of outdoor patio space, providing the ideal mix for both quiet relaxing and fun social time. During the summer season, rentals run from Saturday to Saturday.
Located in the heart of Pacific Beach (PB) San Diego's premier beach destination, the location can't be beat. Pack your wagon with surf and sand toys and head west for 2 blocks to the Pacific Ocean. Or, switch gears and head south 2 blocks to Mission Bay for a leisurely bike ride or to read a book on the sand. Forget something at the store? Ralph's supermarket is a 5 min. walk away, as are a wide variety of restaurants and shops for every taste.

Great house for exploring SD, perfect location
Loved our stay at the house, 12 of us including adults and young children. Ryan was accommodating and helpful. Quirky house, private and spacious. Lovely clean hot tub on the roof.

Fantastic property
This was a great property for a family reunion (7 people). The house is perfectly laid out so everyone can be together on the main floor or outside, while there is ample privacy if people need some time alone in their bedrooms. The kitchen is fantastic. If that wasn’t enough, the short walk to the beach makes this property even more attractive. Ryan was a great host, and we all really enjoyed our stay.

Week at Beach, Exploring San Diego
The house was in a perfect location! Close to the beach, close to the bay, and a short trip to other attractions. The house is very unique and the main area (dining room, living room , kitchen) was great for family interaction. The pool was just right for my grandsons, 3 & 5. And the roof top hot tub was awesome!
