About this house rental
You will have complete access to the entire 2 bed 2 bath home. We benefit from ocean breezes on most days of the year but it can get hot when Santa Ana's blow over the mountains from the desert. Wi-Fi info is posted on the fridge. We have portable ac & heating units in both bedrooms but usually you only need to open the windows and doors to enjoy the beautiful weather San Diego is known for. Lake Murray is nice park to walk to (and part way around the Lake) from the house. Cowles Mountain is also a popular hiking destination, there is a Golf Course next to the lake as well. The door lock is digital and I'll get you your access code two days before you arrive. I live and work in the adjacent duplex but travel often so we may or may not meet during your stay. I will of course provide my email & cell phone number if there is a problem or emergency. The closest grocery store is Vons on Lake Murray Drive. It's about 1 mile north of the house. Vine Ripe is a great place for fresh vegetables, deli, fresh meat & its on Fletcher Parkway just East of Costco on Fletcher Parkway (take Parkway Drive East to Baltimore, turn left on Fletcher Parkway. Just on the other side of the I8 overpass turn right for Dennys, Marie Callendar's or DZ Aikens (a local favorite with NY style deli & desert counter as well as a kosher restaraunt). Within walking distance is Lake Murray Cafe & they just added a little bar. As noted you are right in the heart of San Diego. If you plan to drive between morning and afternoon rush hour you can be at the best attractions in San Diego in minutes. Ocean Beach is 15 minutes straight west where Interstate 8 ends. Sea World, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach are 20-30 miles away. La Jolla Cove is about 40 miles away at the end of the 52 Freeway West. The San Diego Zoo, the Gaslamp District Downtown, Balboa Park & Petco Park are all 15-20 minutes away. The washer and dryer are outside to left when you go out the patio. We keep laundry pods and dryer sheets available. Please clean the dryer lint trap. I wouldn't recommend staying here if you don't plan on renting a car or use Uber or Lyft to get to the Trolley on the other side of the Freeway (or in Downtown La Mesa depending on the line you would take to get downtown) but the trolley doesn't go to the airport or any of the beaches.

Could not ask for a better location. Rooms were large and overall had a great time book it if you can.
10.0 / 10.0
Centrally located just like the listed describes, the duplex was perfect for a week stay for our family. It might have been small with older children or adults, but for our 3 littles it was perfect. We were easily able to drive to the beach and other attractions. Would recommend a car to get around and parking at the house was easy. Steve, the owner, was readily available for our only issue and he fixed the water leak within a day. The only thing I would like to point out about the house was that it could use some TLC, but it was clean, friendly, and a nice place to stay.
10.0 / 10.0
Beautiful location, quiet neighborhood. Cozy spacious home, nice outside patio & front yard. Washer and dryer in the unit which is convenient. Best deal for the price. Steve the home owner lives minutes away therefore if you need anything he will be there for you if you need him.

This property is in a great location. As they say, " location,location,location." Location is great however having the owners of the property be the best I have experienced in at leaset10 vrbo rentals is the icying on the cake. They were excellent for all of my 34 days. Highly recommended plus 10 stars for my personal rating
10.0 / 10.0
The location was everything we hoped for. We had easy access to the 8 with one exit to and from our family. It was close to the golf course we mainly use, close to La Mesa center, and very close to Lake Murray trail. The master bedroom and bed were comfortable and spacious. The neighborhood felt safe and was very walkable. We met the owner when we arrived and he was very friendly and helpful. We had to contact him a couple of times and his response was quick, courteous, and helpful. The only issues were we would have liked better lighting in the second bedroom and the sofa in the sitting room was difficult to get out of. We enjoyed our stay and hope to be able to rent this home on our next visit to the family.

Steve was very communicative. The process was easy (this was our first time using Vrbo & our first time in Cali). The house was exactly what we needed. It was clean and had all the essentials for a 10 day trip. Our flight got delayed so we had to stay an extra night and Steve gave us a discount for the last night. Overall great experience.
8.0 / 10.0
Location...location...location... less than 20 minutes to everything in the area. O.K., was 23 minutes to the casino. Shopping, restaurants, drugstores, attractions 3 to 10 minutes away.
Never had horrid traffic. Wonderful hosts.
That said, place is showing its age, like me. Needs some updating and painting. But, was clean.
The one constant complaint we have with vrbo homes: Knives are never sharp. Until this year, have always driven out to Ca., so bringing my own was not a problem. Is a real pain when knives are actually dull.
As always, we enjoyed our vrbo stay.

8.0 / 10.0
Overall, a very nice stay. We lived in SD for 40 years so are very familiar with the area and wanted somewhere between the family members we were visiting. This location was perfect. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable. There is lots and lots of storage. We had everything we needed, although kitchen equipment is minimal if you actually want to cook. There's plenty of street parking. It's very close to the freeway, shopping, etc.
The quirks- the bedroom has a multi-outlet adapter plugged into a three-prong adapter plugged into a a wall socket that is probably very unsafe wiring. The internet went on and off constantly, especially at night. And someone next door snored VERY loudly every morning, which was very audible in the living room.
Overall, I'd stay here again.
10.0 / 10.0
The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. It is located in a nice quite neighborhood. We rented two other apartments on this trip where we shared a bathroom (two couples). It was nice to have our own bath. The apartment is located far enough away from most venues that you will need to travel. We drove so we needed to pay attention to traffic. It might have been better to park and ride the metro. The only issue we encountered was the loss of the internet connection one evening but Steve had the cable company out the next day. We would recommend this rental.
6.0 / 10.0
Steve was great! We had a small issue and he came and took care of it right away. There was only air conditioning in the bedrooms and it was hot the week we stayed, but it really wasn’t too bad and we were mostly gone during the day anyway. The accommodations were pretty basic, but comfortable and that was reflected in the price. There is a great park with a lake and great walking trails within walking distance from the house. And of course there’s all that San Diego has to offer!
10.0 / 10.0
We had a great stay at this location. The house was clean and in a quiet neighborhood. Steve was very easy to work with and replied to messages right away. We had family in Lakeside and visited San Diego, and we were centrally located. We would definitely stay here again when we visit. Absolutely loved the remolded bathroom.
5.0 / 10.0
Thank You Steve and Maria for an enjoyable stay in you house, it had all that we needed and was just perfect for us. Very clean and in a quiet safe neighborhood. Once again Thank You. Rachel
