Private Historic Point Loma Estate: Pool, Gardens & Coastal San Diego Living

Hidden behind gates in Point Loma’s historic Loma Portal neighborhood, this restored 1913 home offers a rare kind of San Diego stay - private, layered, and deeply connected to the coastal lifestyle that defines this part of the city.

Originally built in 1913 and thoughtfully restored over time, the home blends historic architecture with relaxed California living. Inside the gates, the property opens into a surprising retreat: mature landscaping, expansive gathering spaces, a long private pool, sun-filled interiors, and the kind of warmth and character rarely found in vacation rentals.

This is the type of home where mornings begin slowly with coffee on the porch, afternoons drift between the pool and the beach, and evenings end with dinner outside after sailing, surfing, or exploring the coast.

The location places you right between San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Shelter Island, yacht clubs, waterfront paths, Liberty Station, Ocean Beach, and Sunset Cliffs are all nearby, making the home especially well suited for guests who want to experience coastal San Diego as locals do - on the water, outside, and connected to the neighborhood around them.

The property works beautifully for families, multi-generational gatherings, regatta weeks, extended stays, and guests seeking a more elevated and personal experience than a standard beach rental or condo.
