About Mike Murphy
I am very proud of this home and it's well kept grounds and enjoy the compliments that I always receive from guests. I'm only a phone call / text away if you have any questions.
Mike Murphy purchased this house in 2010
Why Mike Murphy chose La Mesa
VALUE!....Sure, you can find many other properties for less than our rate, but when you add up the generous size of both the house and grounds AND take into account all of the unique amenities we have to offer, it equates to a lot of vacation rental for the money :)
What makes this house unique
Not many properties can match the entertainment options that our home offers.....A Basketball court, Lawn Darts, Offroad R/C track, Slot machine, Ping-pong table and an Ultra Hi-Def 4K TV with Dolby Surround sound are just some of the reasons we have had guests from literally all over the world stay!

Perfect home near San Diego attractions
What you see is what you get, with the bonus of a wonderful owner to work with!
We (3 generations) were visiting family in El Cajon after Christmas and the house was perfect for all of us. It was spacious, clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the beautiful views from the patio, and the children enjoyed the basketball court and the ping pong table. My only suggestion would be to add a card table and chairs, the extra seating would be handy.
Mike Murphy was so easy to work with that this will be our "home" base every time we visit Southern California. I highly recommend this home to anyone visiting the area.
Beautiful home
This was an absolutely beautiful home and it really helped make memories on our vacation to San Diego. The backyard is one that you can only make up in a dream. A large deck overlooks a large grass backyard where our kids enjoyed playing baseball and lawn darts. To the right is a basketball court that our boys spent a lot of time on. The only downfall to this home was out of the hands of the owner. We visited during an unseasonably warm time and the air-conditioner couldn't keep up with the home and it was very hot and uncomfortable, but the ceiling fans in all of the rooms helped a little bit. Mike, the owner, stayed in touch and was very accommodating throughout our stay. If this home is available, we will definitely be staying again on our next trip to San Diego
A beautiful home, just like the pics!
Mike was a fantastic and available host. Always answering my questions in a tmely maner. This house was perfect for two families visiting from out of state. The kitchen was sparsley stocked however, missing a tea kettle etc., but we made due. I would not hesistate to rent this place again. It was perfect for our youngest (age 3.5) and any family that needs a San Diego retreat. Located in a very nice neighborhood and the amenties are fantastic! Older kids would really have fun in this house. I highly recommend it!
Spacious, Relaxing, and most of all- Affordable
The place was spacious and enjoyable. It can get hot in August, but we enjoyed the nice yard with its garden and fountains. Since the place is on a mountain, the drive to local attractions is a little further, but if you want a relaxing, quiet neighborhood, this is perfect. I thought for the price it's a good deal for sleeping 8 people comfortably. I would recommend it over the more expensive places on VRBO for bringing a large family to San Diego.
GREAT PLACE!
My family has stayed at this property twice now. It is a great place with plenty of room. The views are amazing during the day and at night. The owner is great to work with and we will definitely be back to stay again!
San Diego in July
I usually stay with my parents in La Mesa when it's just me and my wife, but this trip we had our two kids, there spouses and our 4 year old grandson. The house was about perfect. Nice large deck and great views. We had fun with the ping pong table, slot machine and even had a fire one night. The location worked well for us regardless what we chose to do. We would definitely stay here again if I can get my kids all together again. Had a great time. Thanks
Map
Mt. Helix is one of the most desirable, picturesque and unique communities in East San Diego County. There are no cookie-cutter, tract homes here. Each property is unique and all are situated on large parcels, so people come here for privacy and to feel like they have escaped the city. A variety of urban shopping centers are only about a 2 mile, scenic drive away however so you get the best of both worlds!
