About this property

Three King Beds, Two Large Desks and a Gourmet Kitchen near La Jolla

Our home is perfect for those who are working from home while on vacation. Two of our bedrooms have large desks, and we have an additional small desk in the living room. All of our bedrooms are ideal for adult couples, as we have three king-sized beds. Families with children are welcome as well. We provide extra bedding and air mattresses in case our three beds are not enough for your family. The primary bedroom has a traditional king-sized bed, a very large desk with a comfortable office chair, and a walk-in closet. We even have a laser printer in case you need one. One of the two smaller bedrooms has a large desk with an office chair, an electronic piano, and a California-king-sized bed. The third bedroom has a California-king-sized bed. A California-king-sized bed is slightly longer, and slightly narrower than a traditional king. Each bedroom has a closet and a dresser that are available for use by guests. We allow most pets, including dogs. Everyone is welcome, so come as you are!

Do you like to cook? Our home has a very well-equipped kitchen. In addition to the basic cookware that you expect to find in all vacation rentals, our kitchen offers several amenities that set us apart. We have a Kitchen-aid stand mixer, a pasta maker, numerous different pots and pans, including some cast iron pans. We also have stainless steel and aluminum pans as well. We also have some unusual items, including a fondue service and a barware set. Try your hand at mixing some drinks like a pro! We have plenty of high-quality place settings and glassware as well.

Our home has four notable outdoor spaces. One is a private courtyard that is enclosed by a wall. The courtyard has a locking gate, so nobody will disturb you. We have two enclosed patios to the rear and side of the house. One has the BBQ and an outdoor dining table. The other has a propane-powered fire pit table and lounge chairs. The forth is a large side yard that is not enclosed.

In the garage, you will find a modern front-loading washing machine and dryer, which you are welcome to use. The remainder of the garage has been walled off, and is not available for use by guests. Guests are welcome to park on the driveway.

The TV is a Samsung 80-inch QLED smart TV. You may access any video streaming services that you may have subscriptions to, such as YouTube TV and Netflix. Internet speed usually measures around 100 mbs for download and 10 mbs for upload. This is much more than adequate for viewing 4k programming on the one TV that is provided. There is no local TV reception at this location, and we do not have cable TV. The owners routinely work from the home when visiting, and the internet is much faster than necessary for videoconferencing and other simultaneous work activities. For those who enjoy participating in spin classes, we have a Keiser M3i exercise bike, which you may position in front of the TV.

Guests may park two cars on the private driveway. There is abundant free parking on both Lipmann and Robbins streets. Additionally, trailer, boat or RV parking may be available on our unpaved side yard. Please inquire with the owner for details, before booking, if you are traveling with any recreational vehicles. The garage is NOT available for use by guests. However, the laundry equipment is located in a separate laundry room, which is available to guests.

Within a short walk to the house, you will find three parks and a local high school. Two of the parks have play structures for young children. One park has a sports field appropriate for baseball, softball or soccer. At the high school, you will find tennis and basketball courts and a shortcut for walking to UTC. Please note that it is illegal to enter the grounds of the high school when school is in session. Also, officially-organized events always have priority over informal play. The world famous golf course at Torrey Pines is a 15-minute drive from the house, and it features a driving range as well.

This home is used exclusively by the guest during your stay. You may use everything that you find in the home, with the following exceptions: 1. The attic, which is locked. 2. The hallway closet near the front door. This is also locked. 3. Guests may use the laundry equipment. The remainder of the garage is walled off for use as storage by the owner. Guests may not enter the walled off area of the garage.

Guests should be aware that we do have security cameras installed in the outside areas of this property. There are two cameras outside of the kitchen on the side of the house, and there are two cameras in the backyard. One camera covers the driveway. One camera covers the side yard. One camera covers the front courtyard. All doors and window are covered by one or more cameras, but at an angle. None of the cameras are aimed into the house such that occupants are visible. This home is also equipped with an alarm system. There are motion sensors in every room of the house, but these are not capable of recording either sound or video. The alarm system and cameras are armed at all times when the house is unoccupied. The alarm system is disarmed prior to a guest's check-in time, and it is re-armed after a guests check-out time. The cameras are motion-sensitive, and they may be on at any time. A blue LED light is visible on each camera when it is recording.

Great location

The house was in a great location with easy access to freeways and shopping. Check in was very easy with the keypads and Scott was helpful when we had to call regarding one of the air conditioners. The family room can get hot when returning to the house but cooled down when we hooked up the portable AC unit to the sliding door. The beds were nice and firm, and I loved the high quality bath towels.

Good location, great for a dog, all as advertised

The location is very convenient and fairly quiet. The place was clean and everything was as advertised. Host was available if we needed him. Great fenced outdoor areas. Made it easy for the dog. The only negative was that it was a bit hot. The portable AC units are not strong enough to cool the main living area. Other than that, highly recommended.

Great location for a family vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I took a trip to San Diego and having a home like this was perfect. It was close to everything. A few mins from the beach and downtown and a shot drive to Coronado. It was amazing to drive straight to the house and already have all the information we needed to access the house. It was convenient and less stress. Did wish we had AC especially with the heatwave ( which happened the week we were there)Having a full kitchen and and laundry any time of day made life easier and our vacation was a complete success. Thank you Turnkey rentals for making this a great vacation.

Comfortable, clean, flexible manager, and a great kitchen!

My daughter and I spent a week in this clean and simple property. It was perfect for us as she recovered from a medical procedure. Everything worked as it was supposed to. It was clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. The bathrooms were clean and fully functional. We cooked most every day and the kitchen was the best of any VRBO I've used. It had every utensil and appliance you could need. Pots and pans a slow cooker and even a Dutch oven. The pantry had available spices, oils, salt and pepper. I didn't have to buy anything but the food - oh, and Cinnamon, that was missing, but it's there now. There was a Keurig machine with large selection of k-cups as well as a selection of teas. It even had Tupperware for storage of leftovers and sealable bags if needed. Honestly, it was fantastic. As described, it has 3 air conditioners. 2 need to be setup if you need to use them. The owner has clear instructions with pictures to make it easy. They did the job. The master bedroom window AC worked perfectly and kept the back of the house cool. One tip is to open the front door and the sliding doors in the evening and the house cools quickly naturally. Because there is a private courtyard in the front, it felt perfectly private. Overall, we loved the property and would stay again. Thank you, Scott be the flexibility and communications as well.

Nice But Needs Work

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We chose this home due to its location near UCSD medical center, where our mom was having major surgery. Upon arrival, the home was not clean. The furniture was dusty, there were kiss marks all over the bathroom mirror and the microwave had sauce splattered inside. We ended up cleaning it ourselves. During our stay, the weather was cold and the home was down to 60 degrees and colder at night. The heater did not work and there were no blankets in the home. Customer service sent out a repair tech who told us the heater was so old it was unsafe to operate. Customer service had blankets and space heaters sent to us a few days later. We had to sleep in sweatshirts and under several blankets due to the temperature of the home. Further, the home does not have cable so you are relegated to watch any TV through the internet through apps such as Hulu and Netflix. The internet speed is so poor that I could not use my computer to work. If I was attempting to work, the TV would freeze. Then, the internet went down and was down for over 3 days. We could not use the TV and I could not work. We were told we needed to reset the modem but they could not explain where the modem was located. Come to find out, the modem was inside of a wall, in which you needed tools to open. There are no tools in the home to even get to the modem to reset it. In addition, there were ants in the master bath and bedroom throughout the stay. Aside from the foregoing, you can tell the owner attempted to upgrade this older home. The kitchen is nice and functional, the furniture is new, and the bedding and linens were all new. Customer service was nice and did try to fix the problems of this home; however, in the middle of this very stressful time for us, it was frustrating and time consuming to have to deal with these issues.

Girls Trip

This was the perfect place for a girls weekend. Scott was very nice and always responded when we needed help (even when I messaged at 2 in the morning not realizing what time it was. Sorry Scott!) The location was perfect! Close to a few different beaches, but not so close we had to deal with the traffic all the time. The fruit trees were great to see and the different patios were so nice. We are already planning another trip and hope this place will be available! Thank you again Scott. The place was amazing and you were a great host!

About the host

Hosted by Scott

Host profile image
I am a retired engineer. My wife is an architect. This is our second home that we visit several times each year. We enjoy hiking, scuba diving, and paragliding, all of which present several opportunities in San Diego, I happen also to be a gourmet chef. As such, our kitchen is extremely well equipped. Please see our photos of the kitchen, including the contents of our cabinets.

Why they chose this property

University City is coastal, and central to everything San Diego County has to offer. It is close to the beaches in La Jolla, Torrey Pines, UCSD, and minutes away from three of the major freeways.

What makes this property unique

Our home is almost uniquely well-suited to groups of up to three adult couples traveling together on vacation, as we have three king-sized beds. For those who are working while on vacation, we provide two full-size office desks with office chairs, and an HP laser printer, that also functions as a copier and scanner. We also have a smaller reading desk in the living room. We have a Yamaha Clavinova electronic piano, and yes, guests, including young children, are welcome to play it. Families with children and pets are of course welcome to stay here as well, and many have stayed with us. However, we do not have any child-specific amenities.
