About this property

Affordable Escape #4,kitch,yard, pets ok, wifi, 10 min to San Diego

Cute, fun, newly remodeled, nicely furnished and conveniently located home.
Full Kitchen and separate bedroom with a king bed! Enjoy the washer, dryer and Gas Grill! Please note that this is a duplex with one attached wall so at times you may hear your neighbors. The street out front does have traffic.
Freeway close, 10 to 15 minutes to the zoo, San Diego State University (4 miles away), downtown San Diego, and 15 minutes to Coronado and beaches. We also allow pets and offer a pet sitting service if you need to drop your dog off at our home while you hit the town! These homes have a full kitchen which saves money from eating out all the time! There is a small enclosed backyard in each home for 'hangin out, bbq or a place for your pet to roam! Yes, we are pet friendly upon approval! The parking is right at your front door and the grocery store is a one minute drive or few minute walk! As the owners, we live about 2 minutes away and hope to make your stay AWESOME!!
A short drive (5 minutes?) is the heart of the Village of La Mesa, an historic location known as the 'Jewel of The Hills' There are excellent restaurants, coffee shops, antique and specialty shops. Evenings are often filled with the sound of music from the local venues. The Friday Farmers Market bustles with activity year round. There is sunshine, sunsets, hilly vistas and ocean breezes.
But you may be coming to San Diego for the famous attractions - the beaches, Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Coronado Island, San Diego Bay and events at Qualcomm Stadium. All those places are 10 plus or minus miles away from La Mesa and the freeways that take you there are just a half mile away from this duplex. The trolley is handy and provides easy access to downtown San Diego and everything between! Visiting San Diego State University? The trolley is the best way to get there because it drops you right on campus!
Whether you are here to visit family or friends who live here or just to vacation on your own we hope you will make our vacation rental a part of your plans.
(If both units are booked please check vrbo 677757. It sleeps 6 and is larger!)

We had an extended stay at this VRBO and absolutely loved every minute of it. The location could not have been more perfect — close to everything we needed, yet peaceful, quiet, and tucked away just enough to feel like a retreat.The home itself was spotless, charming, and incredibly comfortable. It truly felt like a home away from home.The hosts were some of the easiest, most down-to-earth people we’ve ever worked with — responsive, kind, and genuinely welcoming without ever being intrusive. That makes such a difference during a longer stay.I would recommend this place to anyone, anytime, without hesitation. We’re honestly sad to leave — which says everything.

Comfy and convenient

Nice comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood! This rental had everything that I needed for my stay in San Diego as a travel nurse and both I and my pups settled in very quickly. Check in was simple and the home was nice and clean upon my arrival. Fully stocked with everything from dishes and cookware to band-aids and laundry supplies. The bed was SUPER comfortable which is important to me as a night shift worker. I have two dogs and the unit is very pet friendly. I was so lucky to find a place in San Diego with a yard for them at this price! The backyard is fully fenced and has a nice tree for shade so we spent a lot of time grilling and relaxing. Both Linda and Bill were so welcoming and accommodating during my stay. Any time I messaged them I received a message back almost immediately. It is comforting when you are away from home and you feel instantly welcomed by your hosts! Highly recommended!!!!
