California is the land of “go with the flow," and nothing is easier than enjoying a stay in this cosy studio. The iconic art museums of Balboa Park and the historic streets of the Gaslamp Quarter are only a 15-minute drive away, but the true attraction here is the beach – this home is just moments from some of San Diego’s most beautiful beaches and coastal paths. Wake up with the sun warming the wooden floors of the studio, make a quick breakfast in the chic, white subway-tiled kitchen area, and savour a cup of coffee on the patio before heading off to Sunset Cliffs or Ocean Beach. Whether you’re a surfer looking to catch some waves, a photographer hoping to get that once-in-a-lifetime shot from the cliffs, you’re sure to lose your heart to this charming corner of the San Diego coastline – and, of course, to the equally charming home.
