  • Aug 22, 2025 Great home and such an impresive property James Hochrine
  • Aug 16, 2025 Wow! Comfortable beds, incredible location and house. I felt like I was staying on a movie set. Sarah Lee
  • Aug 07, 2025 The Coulter House was a great experience for our large family. The house itself is a special experience, beautiful and full of history and plenty of space to explore. It was a great place for our family to meet in San Diego! Also Gather met our daughter early when her flight came in to check her in, we appreciated that! Brent And Joan Hammond
  • Jul 22, 2025 La villa è stupenda. La villa è stupenda, spaziosa sia in interno che in esterno, arredata con cura e ricca di particolari. La cucina super attrezzata e fornita di tutti gli utensili ed elettrodomestici per cucinare. Ampi spazi utili anche per lavorare senza essere disturbati. La posizione è ottima, vicino al Balboa Park e il centro è raggiungibile anche a piedi. Dalla terrazza si gode una vista panoramica sul porto turistico e in giardino è presente una vasca idromassaggio per rilassarsi. La sala da pranzo è molto accogliente e può ospitare anche più di 12 persone. Le camere sono molto ampie, con il bagno all'interno, i letti sono molto comodi. Abbiamo trovato tutto pulito e perfetto al nostro arrivo. Siamo entusiasti del nostro soggiorno e consigliamo assolutamente l'esperienza! Marina A
  • Jul 21, 2025 I really love the place. It was like staying in a museum. I would say that it could definitely use a pool and the rules can be a little bit more relaxed. I can see why not too many people were chomping at the bit to stay there that being said we were there for a business trip and it was a great space for us quiet and close to our destination. I really felt like I was staying in a time capsule. Rasheed B

Description

Built in 1916 by renowned architect Carleton Winslow Sr., The Coulter House is a Mission Revival treasure in San Diego’s Bankers Hill neighborhood. Once a gathering place for the city’s social elite, this six-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath estate now welcomes travelers seeking a rare blend of historic grandeur and modern luxury. With panoramic ocean views from its deck, elegant interiors, and a private courtyard, this home is ideal for families, groups, or anyone longing for a distinctive San Diego stay.

What You’ll Love About The Coulter House

* Six beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a spa-like primary suite
* Upper-level family den with pool table, arcade machine, and wet bar

Living & Dining
Step inside to soaring ceilings, rich wood accents, and refined décor that echo the home’s heritage. The formal living room doubles as a music room, with a grand piano anchoring the space. Sunlight streams into the adjoining sunroom, while the formal dining room—with seating for eight—sets the stage for memorable gatherings. Multiple lounges, a dedicated office, and cozy nooks offer both relaxation and productivity.

Chef-Ready Kitchen
The expansive kitchen balances vintage charm with modern convenience. Stainless steel appliances, a large island, and an adjacent butler’s pantry make it easy to host dinners or casual breakfasts. A sunny breakfast nook provides the perfect start to the day.

Outdoor Oasis
The private courtyard invites lingering afternoons under the pergola, family BBQs, and starlit evenings around the firepit. A bubbling hot tub, lush landscaping, and multiple patios provide spaces to gather, relax, and enjoy San Diego’s enviable climate. From the upper deck, panoramic views stretch to the Pacific, with sunset cocktails made unforgettable by the ocean breeze.
