A two-bedroom, one-bath Classic California Bungalow on the quiet residential stretch of Van Buren Avenue at the Hillcrest/University Heights border, Hillcrest Bungalow Vacation Rental operates as the nightly-booking sister property to Hillcrest House Bed & Breakfast during the inn’s 2026-27 main-house renovation. The whole-home rental comes with two tandem off-street parking spaces, private front and back courtyards, and a full kitchen, anchoring guest mornings within a five-minute walk of Sunnyboy Biscuit Co. and the Sunday Hillcrest Farmers Market. Booking runs direct rather than through third-party platforms, which keeps the nightly rate and the two-car parking allocation bundled into the base reservation. Pet policy is pet-passionate for small dogs with a per-stay fee, and the bungalow is set up for extended family stays with separate sleeping quarters and a fenced private yard. Walking itineraries from the front door reach Great Maple’s New American menu within two blocks, and the oversized Farmhouse-style breakfast plates at Hash House A Go Go sit a ten-minute stroll south on 5th Avenue — a practical fit for the extended family and multi-guest groups booking the bungalow for weekend checkouts. Multi-week stays for visiting academics and traveling medical residents working at UC San Diego Medical Center and Scripps Mercy Hospital handle a single courtyard key handoff plus a written neighborhood guide covering parking, trash pickup, and the Balboa Park walking route.
