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!)
