About this property
Zen Retreat San Diego
Enjoy the feeling of a cozy Zen Retreat on lovely Mt Helix in San Diego county.
Mt. Helix is a short 15 minutes from the San Diego downtown, airport, Mission Beach and Pacific Beach.
This is a one bedroom, one bath, with a small kitchen with eating area and full size stainless steel appliances. Central heat and AC. Because the kitchen is small, and only has a small window, therefore can only be used for light cooking (stove top) during the summer heat months. We prefer you not use oven during high heat times, however, there is a toaster oven provided if you need to bake something.
*Since VRBO merged with Expedia and some other companies, I do not have access to those other companies directly. And I have been told that they have checked some boxes that are incorrect and can't find a way to access for changes. We do not have a hot tub or a bathtub. No use of washer and dryer. If you are unsure of amenities, please inquire before booking.
Also note there is a low beam in the kitchen, so must be used with caution.
*Note: Please realize this unit will only occupy two people. (I have been getting a lot of requests for 3 or more people to occupy, there is only one full size bed, and it is not set up for small children. Due to the number of requests, I will not be able to reply to those requests.)
Please see amenity info below. Occupants must be at least 21 years of age, or child with parent. Rental contract is now part of this listing when paying through this site directly. By paying through this site constitutes an agreement to the rental contract terms and will be binding by the state of California. Rental agreement will be emailed and must be signed and brought with you for ckeck in.

About the area
La Mesa
Located in Mount Helix, a neighbourhood in La Mesa, this holiday home is near theme parks. Port of San Diego and B Street Cruise Ship Terminal are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Balboa Park and Old Town San Diego State Park. Check out an event or a game at Petco Park, and consider making time for San Diego Zoo, a top attraction not to be missed. Take in the nearby slopes with skiing, or try out other outdoor activities such as sledging and ice skating.
