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.

We really enjoyed our stay at Scott's place. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked, as well as the rest of the house. Our dogs really enjoyed the back yard and we enjoyed the fresh citrus from the trees. Communication was really great. Scott was a very kind and gracious host. The neighborhood was great for walking the dogs. Location was convenient to LaJolla, SeaWorld, and Zoo. We recommend his place!
What a great stay. Great communication from the hosts. The house is well stocked and very comfortable. Location was convenient for our trip, never more than 20 minutes from the areas we needed to be, which is great for San Diego.
Very nice and comfortable house with all that is required for a relaxing vacation. Short drive to the La Jolla Shores beach and all the attractions of San Diego. Super responsive host and a great experience overall.

Loved this place!
This was a perfect getaway for me, my mom and my daughter. We each had our own room and comfortable bed and plenty of space to spend time together. It’s a convenient location and close to so many attractions. I highly recommend this property!
Enjoyed everything about this place ! Including, huge soft towels, great pillows, fans in bedrooms, A/C if needed - super comfortable all around. Giant tv was great for a movie and the kitchen had all the necessary tools. Clear and timely communication too. Would definitely come back !
This was an excellent property in a really nice neighborhood. Location was great, close to freeway access, grocery stores and other shopping. Very comfortable and well kept.

Excellent experience, spacious house with good location
This house is well located in a nice neighborhood; good access to everything you'd want to visit in San Diego. I enjoyed using the gas grill outside, great spacious living room, and three good-sized bedrooms. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting san diego.
This home was just as advertised on VRBO. Lovely home and very clean. Highly recommend this home and the owner is easy to work with. Would definitely stay here again.

This was the perfect place for me and my family. It was centrally located, and had all the amenities to make us feel right at home!
It was a great experience for us although they was a little clean issue at the check in. Your home was very nice. Your grill equipment was fantastic. We enjoyed our stay. We will definitely reach out to you when we come to San Diego again.
This is a great place with an open format to interact with family. The house is very clean, comfortable and well stocked. Very quiet neighborhood and close to the University. The owners were very quick to respond to all questions and very friendly...Thank you Scott, we had a great time!!
This home was spotless. Easy to access. Beautifully landscaped with fruit trees and shrubs. Beautiful and quiet neighborhood. Close to stores and food. QUIET!
The house was very clean upon arrival, the kitchen is well stocked and has quality dishes and cookware. Very nice front and backyard with a lemon tree.
Scott, the host, was super helpful and always responded when needed.
Thank you, Scott!!!
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.

Was an amazing home in the Claremont/University City area. The weather of course is beautiful which really helped when you wanted to sit outside and just enjoy the morning either in the front gated courtyard, or the backyard.

The rental was very nice. I think if there is no air then you should put screens on doors so the can be left open with out letting insects in.

Hi Eva, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and we appreciate you recommending our place. Our Field Operations Team is scheduled to regularly visit the home and will be working to ensure the home receives the proper maintenance and care for future guests. You were wonderful guests and we also appreciate you taking care of our place. We hope to have you back again! -The TurnKey VR Team
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.

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.

Hello Melisha, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and share your experience! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. You were perfect guests, and we look forward to next time! -The TurnKey VR Team
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.

If you don't mind working with TurnKey, who apparently runs a security check on you, and doesn't offer refunds of down payments, and who sends you lots of messages and leaves you branded notes like a mother hen ("Please lock the doors and windows! - TurnKey"), and whose systems and app don't work with VRBO's even though they cross-list on VRBO's site, this place itself is quite good. A little impersonal, but pleasant and practical. It's a renovated older building that is now sort of like an upper midrange hotel on the inside, with good linens and everything shiny and clean. Loudish planes fly overhead, but I think that's common in this city. The grassless yard unfortunately featured in the photos is also a local norm. The advertised citrus trees are skinny new plantings, but even so they're kind of fun and they do bear fruit. The rooms are large, the furnishings are new and comfortable, and the location in a quiet neighborhood is surprisingly close to San Diego attractions like the zoo, the harbor, and the beach (assuming you can dodge traffic). We stayed for only a few days, but I can see making a week of it with the family and feeling comfortable and at home.

Hi Margery, Thank you for taking the to leave us this feedback and we are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at our property! Here at TurnKey, we strive to offer impeccable customer service before, during, and after your stay. With regards to cancelling a stay, our cancellation policy can be found on our website and is also referenced in our guest agreement which our records indicate you acknowledged. Essentially, all reservations which are made more than 10 days in advance of check-in are fully refundable if the guest cancels the reservation within 72 hours after the time of booking. After this cancellation period expires, all payments are non-refundable. We also offer trip insurance to help protect costs against cancellation due to sickness, bad weather, job loss, and more. In regards to the security questions you were asked, these are created by pulling information that is available from public records. There are similar questions to what you would receive on a fraud alert or anything else trying to verify your identity. We use our ID verification process in order to protect both guests and homeowners from fraud. At times, our system will request additional information in order for us to proceed, which appears to have happened in your case. That being said, we understand that making several calls in order to secure your reservation can be very frustrating. We are constantly working to improve our processes and create a more pleasant booking experience for our guests, so your feedback is much appreciated and will be used to help identify areas for improvement. - The TurnKey VR Team
About the host
Hosted by Scott
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.
