About The Owner

We love living in North Park and we are also passionate about traveling. Marjorie is an oil painter whose artwork can be viewed in the cottage. Steve is an avid bicyclist who has traveled from coast to coast in the US as well as throughout Europe. Their dog, Maya, loves to hike in the nearby canyons.

The Owner purchased this cottage in 2007
Why The Owner chose San Diego

We not only bought a vacation rental here, but also live in North Park. The location can't be beat. This eclectic neighborhood offers the best of San Diego.

What makes this cottage unique

We love walking to the nearby restaurants, hiking in the canyon or hopping on the bus downtown to catch a ballgame. Its a quick drive to the beach, and just minutes from the Zoo and Balboa Park. Music, Theatre and Art events are within walking distance.

This little gem in North Park was just perfect for our visit to San Diego. The immaculate cottage is in a nice, quiet location that is a short walk to an array of terrific restaurants. The owners are delightful -- very helpful, especially when we had to extend our stay due to a weather-related flight cancellation. I would definitely recommend this property to a relative or friend. Both the cottage and backyard are charming.

Owner's Response: Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. We are happy that you enjoyed the cottage, the garden and the neighborhood. It is our goal to have Maya's Cottage truly be our guests home away from home. We are glad that we were able to accommodate you when your flight was cancelled.

Idyllic

5 of 5
Submitted: February 20, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
We spent 4 glorious days at Maya's Cottage during the last few days of January and beginning of February. Early morning coffee on the sun drenched private garden surrounded by palms, ferns, Bougainvillea then sipping wine as the sun sets listening to our favorite tunes on our playlist through the cottage's stereo system, could have easily kept us close to "home" but as photographers we tore ourselves away to venture into the community shooting the beauty of the architecture and gardens while taking breaks to relax in the numerous hip restaurants and cafes nearby. This 1930's charming, clean, bright, spacious, private cottage is on the same property as the hosts' appealing 1940's American bungalow. We were welcomed with a generous basket of wine and treats and felt pleasantly at home with every detail attended to and all our questions answered. More than highly recommended!

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for the rave review! We are happy that you enjoyed your stay in Maya's Cottage, and that you were able to find good subject matter for your photography in the neighborhood. We love our 1920's craftsman cottage (and bungalow) and are pleased to invite you to make Maya's Cottage your home away from home!

The Cottage was charming. The back yard could have used a little tender loving care. We loved it because we could walk to eat in North Park and I am a walker and loved being so close to Park. We felt very safe. We used public transportation which was so convenient. Recommend highly

Owner's Response: We are happy that you enjoyed staying at Mayas Cottage. After a couple of hot August weeks, our backyard is receiving some extra TLC. North Park is a wonderful neighborhood for walking and there are many good restaurants, cafes and parks to walk to. Its nice that our guests can take advantage of the various yoga studios nearby also. We think the access to public transportation is a plus. Thank you for staying at Mayas Cottage and we hope to see you next summer.

We just returned from San Diego and stayed at Maya's Cottage. We loved the place. Thank you so much for the welcome basket. The place has everything that you could possibly need during your vacation. We enjoyed the garden, patio area, and close proximity to the zoo and downtown. The place was a little tight for 4 adults but we still enjoyed it. My husband and I plan to return soon.

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your kind review. We are happy that you enjoyed your time in San Diego and your stay at Maya's Cottage. We hope that you'll come back soon! Steve and Marjorie
