Hello, Bonjour, Hola, Ciao, Ni Hao!
Welcome to Travel Writer's Pad. It’s a pleasure to have you as my guest.

For the past two decades my career as a travel journalist has taken me around the globe. I’ve stayed at thousands of accommodations, where I learned personal touches create a comfortable home away from home. Certain places I visited offered extra special amenities. Green tea at a Japanese Ryokan; chardonnay infused bath salts at a Mexican posada; pink sugar at California’s Madonna Inn; and more. I’ve collected many goodies on my travels for you to enjoy at this vacation rental.

The house was built in 1946. My family lived in it for 25 years. We added modern day amenities and appliances, but kept the historic integrity of the sweet bungalow. The property has a 1/3-acre park-like, fenced backyard surrounded by citrus, fig, and persimmon trees, whose fruit you’re welcome to enjoy. Adirondack chairs sit nearby for you to relax, sip coffee and watch your children or dog run around the lawn.

A secluded patio extends outside the dining room French doors. Vine covered walls, blooming flower beds, and a Mexican terra-cotta chiminea are the perfect setting for grilling and dinner at the outdoor table.

The kitchen is equipped for all your cooking needs. There are five TVs, including one in the bathroom. Central air conditioning and heat throughout the house. Linens and towels provided. Washer, dryer, and dishwasher, also.

The location is easily accessible to San Diego highlights — the San Diego Zoo, Gaslamp Quarter, Coronado, beaches, Balboa Park museums, Petco Park, Seaworld, and the airport. Yet, it’s away from the hustle and bustle of the city in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Plus, the added benefit of being close to hiking and mountain biking trails.

Our house is a five minute drive to popular La Mesa Village with it’s trendy restaurants and boutique shops. Grocery stores and Starbucks are within walking distance. And, San Diego State University is two miles away, with concert venues and sports stadium.

Enjoy!

- "Cute place with beautiful back yard" - "The property is lovely-spacious, attractive and spotless. The host is delightful and provided little amenities to make our stay special. She also did an in-person walkthrough. This was great as I was was traveling with my two young dongs and was able ask her questions in person. Total thumbs up/paws up! We look forward to returning!" - "The host and house were amazing, huge back yard for the kids to run around."

Thank you Margaret and Mike (and Reese!) for an amazing stay!! :)" - "We took our daughter to college at SDSU and needed a good place to park our rental in the street and go back and forth to campus.

Our beautiful home is conveniently located near all the major highways. Driving distances/times are annotated in "Other things to note". Uber/Lyft are readily available. We also have a walk score index of 91 and bike score index of 70 due to all the designated bike lanes in our area.

This home has 450 sq ft of interior space and 450 sq ft of rooftop space, every inch has been maximized for comfort, luxury and thoughtful amenities. This mini-castle is private and detached with its gated front entrance and gated driveway. Everything here is for your enjoyment as there are no shared spaces for this home. The house was designed and built around a king-sized bed and boasts a smart 65” tv in the bedroom and a smart 55” in the living room. The bedroom features a king-sized memory gel foam bed and a spacious walk-in closet for you to un-pack and feel at home. The bedroom also has a mini-split heating and cooling unit. The bathroom features dual rainfall shower heads and two wall-niches, as well as a towel heater and LED bathroom fan. The bedroom and living room have accent LED lighting that is great for movie nights or a comfortable ambiance.

The living room features a pull-out sofa that can sleep up to two additional people, as well as island seating for two. The wall is decorated with beautiful reclaimed redwood that is at least 70 years old. The kitchen is fully equipped including a blender, crockpot cooking/baking trays, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, various utensils, as well as a variety of coffee and teas.

There is a Jacuzzi that comfortably sits 4 people and has curtains for added privacy. Underneath the stairs, there is a full-sized washer and dryer, as well as tide pods, downy scented beads and dryer sheets. The driveway will comfortably fit a full-sized car or small truck with access from the alley (best way to park may be backing in as there are cars that park in the alley). The gate is controlled by remote, so there is no need to manually open/close the gate. There is also a dedicated 40 Amp EV charging outlet for your vehicle, you just need your own charging cable/adapter as we do not have any for your vehicle. There is street parking, but it is on a first-come, first-served basis. There is one security camera outside of the house for your safety, and a few others on the exterior of the property, but we do not place cameras inside.

Upstairs is the epitome of outdoor living. The interior walls are wrapped in the same reclaimed redwood as the living room with a fantastic westward view, 100” projector screen, gas patio heater, gas firepit and gas BBQ. The rooftop has a pergola that provides shade and some protection from the rain if you want to watch TV outside. The house and outdoor living area feature an integrated home theatre system including Roku, multiple streaming services, Cox cable (over 150 channels) and high-speed internet that ties all of the spaces together, as well as curtains that can be closed for more privacy/better ambiance.

- "Our small family of four (with kids 7 and 4 yo) had the best time here! Husband and I were treated to a large comfy bedroom with a wall hung tv. The kids had plenty of space on the sofa pull-out with access to their own tv. The double headed rain shower was delightful. After long days at the beach or zoo we came back to a beautiful outdoor space with seating and a well maintained hot tub. If that isn’t enough for you, we would order dinner and eat upstairs with a view of the sunset and a movie on the projector. It got cold at one point but we found the radiant heater on ceiling. Sooooo cozy! As a parent the best part of this stay was that the kids could roam freely without worry. It was very kid-safe. Also being able to park our car behind the remote gate gave us extra comfort. Not that we needed it, the neighborhood was very quaint and quiet at night. Case De Heights had endless amount of nice touches that we hadn’t even thought we needed. Owners, who responded quickly to messages, genuinely want you to have a nice time and it showed."
