About this apartment rental

LONG-TERM STAYS PREFERRED (45-day min).

OVERVIEW: Dine alfresco with amazing views, enjoy the fully equipped kitchenette, and even do your laundry while staying at our private, detached efficiency apartment in East San Diego County with its own entrance. Relax and rejuvenate in this private quiet hilltop, in a very quiet and safe family neighborhood (we don't lock our cars at night).

Sitting atop a hill with views of San Diego's east county, this space has a mountain-cabin vibe with modern facilities and amenities (see photos). Sleep soundly to the sound of crickets on a new, Queen-size SleepNumber bed, after a nice soak in the bathroom's Jacuzzi tub.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE Inquire (click "Contact Owner"), rather than doing a Reservation Request (Booking). Because we list on 5 different sites, our calendar is not always up to date. We do our best, but because the demand is so high, we get inundated with reservation requests and then get penalized by for declining the ones that are not a good fit. Help us out and send an inquiry first! We promise to respond very quickly! Our typical response rate is 2-10 minutes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE SPACE: This private efficiency apartment is completely stand-alone, with its own bathroom, kitchenette, entrance, and patio. This unit was recently completely remodeled and is fresh and super clean.

You'll feel like you're at home with heating, AC, TV, Wi-Fi, and a fully equipped kitchenette - it's large and features a refrigerator, 2-burner electric stove, coffee maker, coffee bean grinder, cutlery, pans, pots, wine opener, can opener, salt/pepper, and paper towels. And we've pre-stocked the fridge with bottled water and fresh Starbucks coffee beans!

The single bedroom features a queen-sized bed with a brand new spring-coil mattress and high-quality bedding, a large closet, two nightstands, and two small cabinets to store your stuff. The sparkling bathroom is also stocked with towels, soap, shampoo & conditioner, has plenty of cabinets and storage, and has a Jacuzzi bathtub!

There is a washer/dryer on the premises. It is $5 a load, and detergent and dryer sheets are provided. You even have use of our outdoor BBQ (on the main patio).

For business travelers, we also offer wireless access to a laser printer and scanner.

GUEST ACCESS: The whole house! It has its own parking, entrance, courtyard, and an amazing view. (You are assigned one Guest Parking Space; for more vehicles, we have ample street parking.)

INTERACTIONS WITH GUESTS: We live next-door and are almost always home. We are just a text message away if you need anything at all. Our family is very friendly and enjoys interacting with our guests.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Our neighborhood is in the quiet suburbs of East San Diego County, a single-family residential area called El Cajon. It is super safe; in fact, we don't even lock our cars at night. The property is generally sunnier than the coast, while still enjoying easy access to beaches, mountains & deserts. Nearby restaurants, malls, and grocery stores in Santee (7 minutes away). Beach access is only about 25 minutes, on the 52 or the 8.

DRIVING: We are just a quick 4 minutes from the I-52 and I-8 freeways, providing easy access to everywhere.

TRANSIT: While a bus stop is just a 10-minute walk away, keep in mind that San Diego's public transportation system is terrible; you are far better off renting a car at the local Enterprise car rental place for approx. $25/day.

Nearby food options are extremely diverse, including BBQ, Mexican, burgers, global cuisines from Japanese to Lebanese, and major chains such as Denny's, Mimi's, Olive Garden, Starbucks. It is just 30 minutes away from the beaches at La Jolla Cove, La Jolla Shores, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, and Mission Bay.

Rules:
No pets, no exceptions.

Cute and Intimate for Those On-The-Go
Cute and Intimate for Those On-The-Go
This is a cute, clean and well-appointed unit, but the space is a bit small, so better for people on-the-go. The hosts were fabulous and made me feel right at home, and graciously responded in a timely manner to all my inquiries and/or requests. You can't go wrong here!

Quiet Beauty with All the Amenities

This well equipped unit is perfect for on-the-go folks! The owners have made sure that all your basic comforts, and more, are met! But it is very intimate in size, so this did not work for my mostly business only trip, where I needed more room to spread out. But it's cute, comfortable, quiet...with a fantastic view and very gracious and accommodating hosts, so you cannot go wrong!

More like a Chateau than an aprtment

How can you call it an apartment? It is not big, but this is no apartment. More like a Chateau or condo, or some kind of cute 3 room studio tucked away in a hilltop complex. With a two acre backyard, boulder, trails, and all with 15 min of central San Diego. And all the modern amenities and kitchen supplies. This is going on my "Like" list for sure! Hope to come back next year when the "polar Vortex" hits the Midwest! James and Elizabeth

I don't know what to call this. an apartment, duplex, condo. whatever it is, we had a great stay. 2 refrigerators (not big ones) in one huge kitchenette. I like that. So many appliances. The best things of all. Free Starbucks coffee!!! Nice to watch the WWII places from the private deck on the patio! Next extended business assignment I am all over this unit!

Love that patio and those views

At first being 20 min from the heart of San Diego was not what I had in mind, but in the end being away from the bustle and traffic and yet have easy access to all of San Diego was awesome! The unit is clean, bright, lots of light, hi-tech, and pretty much what you see in the photos. Love that patio.

Not a cabin, but a very modern condo that has that charm. Very functional. Perfect for a traveling nurse. This was a great place to be to get my work done while still feeling a bit like I was on vacation. Big thank you to the hosts for being so hospitable!”
