The parking space reserved for guests is the far left spot. Please leave the middle & right side parking spaces open; those spaces are reserved for other cars.

Getting into the House

Our house has a keyless entry system on the front door. Your code will be effective from 4 pm on your check-in day to 10 am on your check out day. Please be sure to bring it with you.

To unlock the door enter the digits of your code followed by the # sign. The lock should blink green twice and emit two beeping sounds.

The door will automatically lock itself 5 seconds after the code is used….you do not have to do anything except make sure you pull the door completely shut when entering or leaving the property.

Upon Arrival

Please take a look around and notify us immediately if anything is not up to your expectations. We take great pride in providing quality accommodations for our guests and would appreciate the opportunity to amend anything that does not meet your approval.

Please also let us know immediately if anything should stop working (such as the cable TV or Internet) or become broken during your stay so that we can schedule repairs or replacements. We need your help so that things like this do not also impact our next guest’s stay. Thank you for your cooperation!

While you are there, we would appreciate your cooperation with the following:

  • Please do not put potato peelings, shrimp shells, coffee grounds or any other kinds of solid waste into the sink & through the garbage disposal. Please throw all waste into the trash.
  • Please do not put luggage on the bed. You’ll find a luggage rack in the closet for your convenience.

Trash Pick-Up Day

The trash cans are located inside the trash corral in the brick patio area in front of the house.

The usual trash pick-up day is Thursday mornings. If your booking includes a Wednesday & Thursday would you mind please taking the trash can outside of the gate into the alley on Wednesday evening, and back again on Thursday after the trash has been picked up? We really would appreciate it! Place the cans on the edge of the parking area so that it will be accessible to the waste pick up truck with the open lid side facing the alley.

Recycling is picked up every other week. If you see the neighbors putting their blue recycling cans out on Wednesday you’ll know that the recycling trash can should also be put out in the alley for pick up.

You will receive an email reminder regarding trash pick-up if you’ll be staying at the house on a Wednesday/Thursday.

THINGS TO DO:

We love the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park (we have annual passes), and all of the museums right there near the zoo. There is also Sea World. We love to go down to the waterfront and walk or bike there. A visit to Old Town San Diego is always fun if you’ve never been there before. My husband loves to golf and if you are interested I can ask him for the names of some of his favorite courses.

RESTAURANTS:

As for favorite places to eat, we like a lot of the local neighborhood places such as Pizzeria Luigi, Panchita’s Bakery, Adalberto’s Mexican Food. We also like going down to Little Italy, there are a lot of good restaurants there also. One of our favorites is The Crack Shack (chicken). 

You might also want to check out Liberty Station, a formal Naval Training Center that has been turned into a “Town Square” of sorts. It has a lot of shops, cafes, restaurants, a Von’s grocery store, parks & playgrounds. The Rock Church is also located there; that is where we attend Sunday services when we are in town. Follow the link above to learn more about it.

Please follow this process upon check-out:

  • Place soiled dishes and utensils in the dishwasher and turn on. Dishwashing detergent is located under the kitchen sink. (If our housekeeper has to wash the dishes she will charge us extra, which we will have to collect from you as an excess cleaning fee.)
  • Please clean out the refrigerator and dispose of any leftover food. You may leave pantry items, condiments, etc. to share with subsequent guests as long as they have not reached their expiration date.
  • Please clean up major boil-overs or spills in the oven. The housekeeper charges extra to clean major messes in the oven. Same for the microwave; please clean up both to avoid extra cleaning charges.
  • Put used towels in the bathtub. This helps the housekeeper determine which have been used. Be sure that all towels are accounted for. You will be charged for lost/damaged/excessively dirty towels or linens.
  • If you’ve moved any furniture around, please return to its original position.
  • The iron & ironing board are located in the closet of the bedroom. If you used the iron please drain all of the water out of it before returning it to the closet.
