About Bob Pellaton

Hello, My name is Bob & I have been living in my native hometown of San Diego for 47 years. I have been many places in the world and San Diego has simply stayed in my comfort zone because of it's sunny weather, eclectic lifestyle as well as the beautiful coastline. I am an Ice Skating Instructor, interior designer, Real Estate Agent & dog lover. I am a very people oriented person and the vacation rental industry has given me such pleasure, affording me the opportunity to meet such awesome guests from all over the world that we have welcomed to our homes here in San Diego. I can only say that; 'I hope that I have the pleasure of meeting you someday & if so, look forward to the many return visits that most of our guests take pleasure in!

Bob Pellaton purchased this house in 2002
Why Bob Pellaton chose San Diego

This 103 year old Craftsman home was purchased for the purpose of remodeling and selling. Once finished, I couldn't bare to part with. I moved my parents in the home for 4 years and when they decided to move to a more conducive home, I thought of selling again, but then decided to share the home with others by way of a vacation rental. This was the best decision I have ever made. The home has so much character and charm and sits perfectly in it's eclectic, metro neighborhood & sooooo close to everything there is to do!!

What makes this house unique

As mentioned before, this home is quite charming and well appointed with it's decor and amenities. Any guest will say that they truly have enjoyed the neighborhood because of it's walking distance to restaurants, shops, 'Trolley Barn Park' (great for kids & dogs & summer concerts). Also, the fact that you are so close to every attraction you can name in San Diego, you can't beat it!!

Family vacation San Diego

This was a great get away for my family of five and 2 year old grand daughter. The two master bedrooms were very spacious and the three bathrooms were indeed as described, such a plus with five adults. Bob was very hospitable from his informative emails to his welcoming phone call as we landed in San Diego. He met us upon our arrival and made time to call during our stay to give us a weather update. The location was pefect for us. We visited Sea World, Legoland, Balboa Park, the Zoo, Old Town,La Jolla and Coronado Island and we did not use a full tank of gas for our 7 passenger van! Restaurants, shops and a lovey park for the toddlers are all within a block of the house. The neighborhood was quiet and safe.
I would highly recommend this beautiful property, tastefully decorated and very clean. We spent one relaxing evening cooking on the gas grill and enjoying the patio and house amenities.

Thanks Bob for your hospitality. Bob also worked with us since our travel dates changed from our original plan. If we ever return to San Diego as a family, I will indeed rent this house again.

As to the attractions, all were fine. The only downside was our "dining with Shamu." The luncheon was pricey at $40.00 per person so we were disappointed when the show during the luncheon did not meet our expectations. It was too short and the outdoor dining in March proved to be a bit too cold since the dining area is in the shade. Otherwise, Sea World was great.

This lovely home is located in a quaint neighborhood just one block from from a strip of fun and interesting coffee shops and restaurants. We wanted a place that was beautiful to enjoy by itself and this house fit the bill. There were 4 generations of our family represented on that vacation and every one of us enjoyed our time immensely. The well-stocked and beautiful kitchen made cooking our meals every bit as fun as going out. The entire house is just beautiful to behold and we were all comfortable.
Bob was very helpful and thorough in coordinating our arrival and departure needs as well as recommending some great restaurants in the area. I don't recall the name but the Italian restaurant a few miles away lived up to the recommendation. We're Italian and seldom eat out at Italian restaurants but even my grandparents visiting from Italy enjoyed every bite! Do go.
Many have commented on how close everything is. Can not be overstated.
This was a perfect house, situated in a perfect location, and gave us a perfect San Diego stay.
Owner's Response: Thanks so much for your kind words and bringing your own personal touch about our home. Hope to have you back again real soon.

This home is lovely, well appointed and Bob is very organized and responsive. It felt like we were truly on vacation given how nicely appointed and well cared for the home is. We loved all of the windows and doors outside. The bathrooms are luxurious and we used the outdoor space everyday. The location is SO close to all freeways. The kids loved having the park across the street and being walking distance to restaurants and stores in University Heights. This is a truly a terrific home base for exploring San Diego. The area is busy, so it is a little loud in the house at times, but not problematic. We had young children and the stairs were not problematic. Everyone loved it and we would return in a heartbeat.

Christmas Charmer

5 of 5
Submitted: January 2, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
My family of 6 (all adults) enjoyed Christmas week in San Diego. A big part of our enjoyment was this wonderful home. The property was clean and well-maintained. We especially enjoyed the two sided fire place. It provided warmth and Christmas spirit to our holiday home away from home. Bob met us on our first day and gave us the grand tour as well as a little history of the home and the area. The two master suites are well appointed. The upstairs suite having its own veranda was an added bonus. Since we were so close to many attractions we took advantage of as much sight seeing as possible during a holiday week. We visited the Zoo, Balboa Park, Midway Museum, Gaslamp district, La Jolla, Del Coronado, Coronado Golf course (a pro golfer sighting!)and the Holiday Bowl Game. We would recommend the dueling piano bar "Shout House" (adults only). Sunday evening was quite entertaining. Restaurants we enjoyed included Table 926 (a bit of a drive but worth it - 1/2 price bottles of wine on Weds) Seersucker in the Gaslamp area was also a good choice. Closer to home we enjoyed both Fig Tree for a good pizza and pasta and Cafe 21 for brunch. We felt very comfortable walking around the neighborhood. One sunny morning we strolled through the park and past many other beautiful Craftsman homes. We would definitely recommend this home for a San Diego home away from home. Thanks Bob!

We had a lovely stay. We were a big Family with my parents, inlaws, husband and 2 kids ( aged 2 & 7) ..what a great home bob has renovated....very comfortable and welcoming. We loved the outdoor areas had a couple of great steaks bbq'ed with the BBQ and loved the stone shower. Bob came and met with us and provided us with some great suggestions to restaurants and local expertise which was greatly appreciated. So convenient to everything...from Costco, Trader Joe's, Sea World, Dwtn, Old Town....you name it!! A nice little park literally 15 steps away for younger kids and great for morning jogs around the quaint neighbourhood. Thank you so much Bob!! Hope to be back soon!!

Craftsman Charm had added great value to our few days stay at San Diego. Indeed, it is close to all places we wanted to visit and because of its location it helped us to see couple of places that we did not consider earlier.

The property was very clean, well-organized and there are more than what we expect as minimum. Simply, whatever I read in the site is true and no surprise of any sort was faced.

It was a pity that I have not met Bob in person but all my email communications and the phone conversation we held revealed a great helpful person.

Simply, it was great trip to San Diego that I, my wife and the kids had enjoyed greatly. I would look no further if I make it again to San Diego.
Owner's Response: It's rare that I am not able to meet a guest on both arrival and departure, but you are right, by our conversation and e-mails and the fact that you were truly able to enjoy our home the way that we hoped, is what makes this even better.
It would be great to have you back again and to get the chance to finally meet.
Thanks so much!

We just returned home from a week's stay at this beautiful home in San Diego. Our travel party consisted of 4 adults, a teenager, and a 2 year old. The home was very clean, and the online description and photos were accurate (unlike some properties we have rented in the past). Bob met us at the home upon our arrival and thoroughly went over the features of the home. We found the neighborhood to be quiet and our son especially enjoyed the playground at Trolley Barn Park, a short walk from the house. The house was in a perfect location....close to the Zoo, Balboa Park, the beaches, Old Town, downtown, the airport. Everything was just a short drive away. We would highly recommend this property to family and friends and would definitely stay here again the next time we visit San Diego.
Owner's Response: So happy to hear it!!
We keep hearing great things and it just validates our efforts is making our homes the best places to stay in Sna Diego!
Hope to see you again real soon!

This is a very clean and well maintained property. There is nothing misleading about the listing description or photos. Our group of six adults immediately felt very comfortable here and we found it hard to leave at the end of our week. The location is very close to downtown San Diego, several beaches (Mission and Ocean Beach are great), the zoo, golf courses, restaurants, and many more fun things to do and see. University Heights, the neighborhood surrounding the home, is a great place to grab a bite to eat or to have a drink or two. The owner went out of his way to make our stay as relaxing and hassle-free as possible and he very much succeeded. I would definitely recommend the Craftsman Charmer to friends and family and would look no further if I ever found myself back in beautiful San Diego.
Owner's Response: Can we say a big thanks for your great review and how thankful we are that you have found your home away from home in San Diego in our Craftsman Charmer!! We wish you all the best and many happy returns!!

Bob the owner was so nice and was right there when we pulled up. He went over the whole house, told us about some of his favorite places and the house was so nice and clean.

And the location to San Diego Zoo, Sea World and USS Midway was totally amazing! We had a 7 year old and 4 year old with us so it made it soooo nice to have it close.

And we had breakfast at the Parkhouse which was literally a 2 min walk and I've never had eggs that good before. And then I stopped at the little local coffee shop and had an amazing coffee.

I would highly recommend staying at this house if you want a beautiful, clean home that is owned by a super, friendly great guy!!Pp
Owner's Response: So nice to meet you and so glad you got to take advantage of what San Diego and our little village has to offer!

Great first vacation in San Diego

Exceeded our expectations, one of the most accurate property VRBO descriptions we have ever rented. Will come back from sure, next time we visit San Diego. This wasn’t our first choice of Bob Pellaton homes because that was rented during desired time frame, but it accommodated the six adults in our party with only minor compromises. The daily, hour plus, walks from the house were all unique and very enjoyable; we even walked to Balboa park twice. But not the days we went to the Zoo and Museums. Fifteen minutes to almost everywhere even La Jolla. One of the most surprising features was just how nice the neighborhood was and how friendly everyone deals with on street parking.
