About this property
2 Bed 2 Bath 15-20 Minutes to all the Best of San Diego!
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.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Steve Laurvick
My name is Steve. I've been in San Diego since 1986 & can't even remember how to shovel snow. I live & work in the adjacent duplex. I'm a marketing consultant so I'm frequently traveling and we may or may not meet in person.
Why they chose this property
In 15-20 minutes you can be at the beaches, Zoo, the Gaslamp, Petco Park, Balboa Park, the SD Convention Center, Seaworld, Old Town, Belmont Park, Lindbergh Field (SD Airport); all the best San Diego has to offer. Nice 2 Bed/2 Bath private duplex in a safe, quiet neighborhood. You will be 3 exits from Qualcomm Stadium & across the I8 Freeway from SDSU. My place is good for couples, families, and business travelers. I live & work in the duplex next door, but I travel often so we may not meet.
What makes this property unique
The place is tucked away in a quiet, safe neighborhood in La Mesa on the San Diego border on top of Mission Valley. 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. We have portable ac units in the master bedroom 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.
