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.

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.

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

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.

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.
