Tourmaline House: Walk to Beach & Restaurants, Fenced Yard, EV Charger, Bikes

The Tourmaline House is the charming beach getaway you've been looking for. It's a real house, lovingly landscaped, with a grassy backyard to relax in after a day of San Diego exploration. We are located in Pacific Beach, just a 1000ft (300m) walk to the beach. Walk or take one of our bikes to explore the boardwalk, bay, shops and restaurants without the need of a car.
With top-quality furnishings, an enclosed backyard retreat, and amenities like bikes, high speed internet for work and streaming, baby items and beach gear, all included – you will find privacy and retreat from the hustle and bustle when it's time to chill.

We can accommodate up to 8 guests and 2 dogs in our home. The entire house is wheelchair accessible, and we've had several handicapped guests to date. We don't have AC. Photos in the listing were taken in 2023.

Have an electric vehicle? We now offer our guests the convenience of charging at home. Just let us know you want to charge your car ahead of arrival, and bring your own cable to use our 240volt plug in the garage for a $20/night charging fee. The EV charging fee is an extra, and it is due before arrival.

The Master Suite is a luxurious retreat with a King size bed, two closets, smart TV and an indulgent large bathroom finished in travertine and glass tile. A dual sink vanity separates the spacious walk-in shower on the right from the enclosed toilet on the left. There is enough space in front of the bed to add a pack’n’play and easily walk around.

The Queen Bedroom is next to the Master Suite and sleeps 2 in a queen bed.
The Kid’s Bedroom sleeps 4 guests in 2 twin over twin bunk beds.
A large full bath on the hall has a real Jacuzzi. A separate area has a dual sink vanity.

Enjoy full access to a stocked kitchen, enclosed grassy backyard with propane grill, parking for 2 cars. Beach gear is included: chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, cooler plus 2 bikes, beach wagon and scooter. We also have a portable crib and a baby chair.

The house sits just 2 blocks off the beach (Tourmaline Surf Park), a 5 minute walk. This part of the beach is the north end of Pacific Beach, a local's paradise, as the tourist crowds concentrate further South.

A 3 minute walk from the house you'll find Turquoise St, with a grocery store and numerous shops and restaurants. You will also be equally close to cute cafes and restaurants on Cass St. Easily reachable on bike are the beach boardwalk and Garnet Avenue, the center of the beach nightlife.

We also have a 3-bedroom town home in Pacific Beach available. Please check out the Felspar Townhome, VRBO listing #295172

We enjoyed our stay at Tourmaline House. We got off to a rocky start because when we arrived I didn't realized that our Host had sent me an email with instructions about wfi. I thought the information would be on the VRBO site. We solved the issue with the help of VRBO and proceeded to have a lovely time. The home was clean, well stocked and a great location close to restaurants and the beach. The master bed was very comfortable and we had lots of towels. We encountered some issues with accessibility which were solved by the Host who asked her staff to make the back fence accessible. When I had a problem with the front door code, the Host came to my rescue and gave me a key which I really appreciated.

We spent seven weeks in this comfortable and friendly house. It was nicely clean on arrival, well maintained and exactly right for our winter getaway from the north! Our two little dogs were happy in the back yard. The owner was very responsive when needed.

Great place to stay

We enjoyed this 3 bedroom house with fenced in backyard. Plenty of room for family that visited for a cookout. A few used the bikes that were provided as well as the wagon to go to the beach with a young child. The location was convenient to walk to coffee shops and breakfast and the beach. I will look to stay at this location again.

Bring the Basics

Great location within walking distance of beach and several local restaurants. Disappointed with how some bare necessities were neglected. One bottle of shampoo between 2 bathrooms and 8 people. 2 washcloths and 7 towels provided. No beach towels. 2 bars of soap provided. 3 rolls of toilet paper. No trash bags large enough to replace the ones we took out. Basically had to shop for the “basics” after traveling across the country and expecting those amenities to be provided. Very disappointing. The kids mattresses need to be replaced as they were complaining about feeling springs in their backs. No cots available.

Taking our German Shepherds to Pacific Beach

Wonderful location. Great backyard for our two German Shepherds; All grass, no poison plants for dogs. One block from the beach. Never took the car out of the garage. Great restaurants, grocery store, beach, all within walking distance. We particularly enjoyed Pastiamos, The Fig Tree and The Hideaway.

Nice stay in prime location

The location is great. Very close to beach access. While on a main street, it is a bit down from the really busy part of Mission Blvd. The house has everything needed in the kitchen. Backyard was nice to have for the dogs. Owner was responsive when issues arose.

Walk everywhere.

Great location! Perfect for 2 couples. Quick walk, block and 1/2, to Tourmaline Surf Park. 2 blocks to specialty grocery store, Oscars incredible taco shop, good Hawaiian food. Walk to La Jolla. Beach gear provided a little worn. Comfy beds, plenty of room for 2 couples. Very busy road, noisy with windows open. Nice table, chairs, umbrella in back yard with gas BBQ.

Coveniently Located Cozy Home

This home is conveniently located near Tourmaline Beach (walking distance) as well as several restaurants and shops. The home is located on a busy street so be careful when backing out of the driveway especially when there are cars parked on the street that can obstruct your view. Also the driveway curb doesn't line up with the garage, so you'll have to park diagonally on the driveway. We found all of the items listed on the inventory list for the house in the garage, including boogie boards, wagons, beach chairs, etc. There is no air conditioning but it was a cooler weekend when we visited so we did not have any issues with temperature. The house has three bedrooms and one of the bedrooms has double bunk beds which are great for families with kids. There are two bathrooms (one in the master bedroom and one in the hallway). The property manager was responsive to our inquiries before and during our stay. The master bedroom bed was comfortable but the queen bed in the second bedroom was not quite as comfortable. Overall, we had a comfortable stay and would recommend this house if you're looking for a home that's located close to the beach and other amenities.

San Diego vacay

The owner of this property was very communicative and responsible of all of our requests. Unfortunately, the house is not as clean as we had hoped. Additionally when we did try to use the barbecue, it ran completely out of gas. The additional gas bottle left beside the barbecue was also empty.

Great little house

All you need in a great location. An actual stand-alone house with closed-off backyard - great for our pups. A little off location, so it's quiet, but not far off so that bars, restaurants, stores, beach are all in walkable distance (4-20 mins). And the fastest, nicest responding owner we ever had. Thanks a lot Juliana ;-)

We enjoyed our stay at the tourmaline house. The house was clean, comfortable and homey. The young kids (21/2 year old twins) loved the backyard and eating outside.

Family get together

Very new and nice interior. Very clean and comfortable. Garage will fit a Honda civic or similar. My F150 was too tall and big. Area is wonderful. The mission Blvd has city bus and traffic but fairly quiet considering its location on street. The beautiful bushes in yard block out the neighbors apartment building. Nice place to have morning coffee. Definitely a nice place. Had to check in late due to cleaning crew delay but we went to a local park for a few hours.

Perfect spot!

I live a few blocks away and family came to visit, knowing the area I can say that this is a prime spot! Away from the noise but close enough to walk anywhere you need. The proximity to the beach was great and more of a local beach rather than next to the pier with tourists. The space was comfy and perfect and we loved the backyard. Great space to play and hangout. Would definitely stay here again and the host was very responsive to questions and had wagons, beach toys, etc.
