About this property

Hilltop Condo with Panoramic View (TDY)

LONG-TERM STAYS PREFERRED (45-day min).

OVERVIEW: Relax and rejuvenate in this private condo on a quiet hilltop retreat, in a very quiet and safe family neighborhood (we don't lock our cars at night).

PLEASE! Before booking, please do a "ask owner question".

This fully remodeled unit includes one bedroom with Queen Sleep Number mattress (with remote to adjust the firmness on each side), one bathroom, washer/dryer, AC, heater, two 40-inch TVs, crazy-fast Internet, and ample parking! It is super clean, private, and roomy. Nicely equipped kitchen truly has EVERYTHING you will need.

For couples, solo, TDY, and business travelers. The living room couch is also a queen-sized bed, to accommodate up to two additional guests.

PLEASE! Before booking, please do a "ask owner question". The demand is so high, we get inundated with booking requests and then get penalized for declining the ones that are not a good fit. Help us out and send an inquiry first! We promise to respond very quickly!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE SPACE: Enjoy gathering in the living room to watch the 43-inch TV, or relax and watch the 40-inch TV in the master bedroom. Both sets have Apple TV, and streaming is great with the fastest Internet in town. This hotel-style accommodation includes everything you expect, and more that you don’t – from utilities, water, AC, heating, paper towels, napkins, TP, shampoo, and even fresh Starbucks coffee. Kitchen equipment includes cookware, appliances, and almost anything you can think of.

GUEST ACCESS: The whole house! It has its own parking, entrance, courtyard, and an amazing view. (You are assigned one Guest Parking Space; for more vehicles, we have ample street parking.)

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS: We live next door and are always available to help.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Our neighborhood is in the quiet suburbs of East San Diego County, a single-family residential area called El Cajon. It is super safe; in fact, we don't even lock our cars at night. The property is generally sunnier than the coast, while still enjoying easy access to beaches, mountains & deserts. Nearby restaurants, malls, and grocery stores in Santee (7 minutes away). Beach access is only about 25 minutes, on the 52 or the 8.

DRIVING: We are just a quick 4 minutes from the I-52 and I-8 freeways, providing easy access to everywhere.

Help us out and send an inquiry first! We promise to respond very quickly! Because I list on 5 different sites, my calendar is not always up to date. I do my best, but because the demand is so high, we get inundated with reservation requests and then get penalized by this site for declining the ones that are not a good fit. Help me out and "contact owner" first! I promise to respond very quickly! My typical response rate is 5-10 minutes.

Great Place, Location, Hosts
My wife and I wanted to escape to warmer weather for a couple of months this winter and this property worked great for us - as did the San Diego weather. Strategically located near major connecting freeways, we were able to get any of our destinations in less than 30 minutes (non-rush hours). The small well furnished one bedroom ‘mother-in-law’ apartment had a comfortable bed, two large wall mounted TVs , strong wifi and nice kitchen and bathroom. For a retired vacationing couple what more can you ask for? Will definitely plan to return again in the future.

Beautiful decorated and equipped condo
I'll keep this short. We had an amazing stay at this unique condo. From the decor, the kitchen, to the tails, squirrels, and birds, it was both tranquil and functional.

Perfect location for a cozy little house
Everything was just as advertised. The location is best. Away from the city frenzy yet 5 min from the 3 major San Diego freeways. We were at the beach in 25 min or downtown in 15 min. Very new and clean. Everything from the fully stocked kitchen to the laundry was great. Lots of outdoor play stuff for our child. Our heater stopped one night, and the owner set a repairman the next day. We will definitely stay again next time I am set to SD for an extended stay. Ari, Sabrina, and little Samuel

Love the view and my son loved the outdoor sandbox
They actually made a huge sandbox with real beach sand. WOW. And the kitchen was as thoughtful also. You can really cook here. Even the bed is very well thought out. They use a sleep number bed so both I and my wife can set a firmness. The hosts mentioned that guests were complaining with the ones from Europe like firm beds, and the Americas liking softer ones, so they went and got a sleep number bed that you set via a remote. Good solution. Basically, the place is great. Could use more chairs for dinner events with guests. We loved living here for my cardio rotation. Dr. Kahneman

This condo is really nice
I think the reviews online say it all. This is really well setup, fully furnished, and really looks like it was just remodeled and all new. I can see living here for a summer or more. Vanessa and family

About the host

Host profile image
We have traveled to over 33 countries and love meeting new people. While you have complete privacy in your condo, we are right next door if we can offer any help or hospitality!

PLEASE! Before booking, please do a "ask owner question".

Why they chose this property

Privacy, backyard trails, peaceful, tranquil, easy access to anywhere since we are 4 minutes from both the 52 and 8 freeways. Wake up to the sounds of birds chirping on your private porch overlooking all of East San Diego.

What makes this property unique

Cozy, affordable, very safe, and private. Only a 30-min drive from most anywhere. Three years ago we did a full remodel, rebuilding the entire interior, so everything is like new.

We offer steep multi-week and multi-month discounts. Please just let us know how long you want to stay and your dates, and we will get you a price within 10 minutes. Since this is a new listing on this site, we are offering discounts for new guests - just contact us and ask!
