This condo has Huge windows in living room and a balcony with seating at an antique pine table. Flatscreen smart T.V.'s in every room. Fast Wifi, gorgeous kitchen w/granite bar..

As condos go, it is excellent, quiet neighbors, wonderful deck areas… It is an amazing location as it is super close to the freeway and though you are right there above Pacific Beach, you don't have to be 'stuck' trying to get in and out of beach traffic in summer. La Jolla is just one exit away on the freeway and all of the most popular beaches and attractions are an easy and quick ride. That way you can Uber down into PB or La Jolla or downtown for super cheap if you want to have cocktails!

We had a nice time visiting San Diego with this as our home base. Locate close enough to everything that we could visit the city, south to the border, north into Carlsbad and beyond and east to the desert and Julian in the mountains. The condo had all we needed for a relaxing week. We all agreed we would definity stay again.

Great DIY Writing Retreat Location

Great DIY Writing Retreat Location

This place really fit our requirements. It was clean and well appointed. The owner was helpful and information. Two small reasons why it isn't getting a 5. You need a car. It's not as central as I would have liked and the neighborhood isn't walkable. Also, no laundry in the unit itself (which was a surprise). We'd book it again.

We had a great time staying here as a family over the holidays. The location was great as it was close to many of the places we wanted to visit. Lacy was very humble and welcoming before, during and after our visit. We would highly recommend the property and of course Lacy! We look forward to recommending and hopefully visiting The Writers Pad San Diego again.

Another Great Stay!

Another Great Stay!

Our family of four spent 2 wonderful weeks feeling right at home at the Writer’s Pad. We found Lacy’s condo to be so spectacular that this was a return visit! The Writer’s Pad is a clean, updated and quiet condo that has everything from a fully stocked kitchen with newer appliances, comfortable beds, plenty of high quality linens and towels and easy access to laundry facilities, propane BBQ’s and the large outdoor pool and Jacuzzi. The condo features three flatscreen tv’s, fast WiFi, fans for warmer days and plenty of room to relax both inside and outside on the balcony. Owner Lacy made our late arrival check-in a breeze and made sure to leave some much needed beverages and snacks after a long drive. She also left us with a few dates and locations of some fun local attractions to make our stay even more enjoyable. Thank you Lacy for being a wonderful host with attentive and quick communication before, during and after our stay!

Our experience at this property for our Family vacation was wonderful. The location of the condo was perfect -short drive to shopping, restaurants and beaches. The condo itself was clean, and plenty of room for our family of 4. Laundry facilities and access to pool and jacuzzi was a bonus. Lacy was a gracious host and communicated with us before and during our stay. I would not hesitate to rent again if we return to the area.

Lots of delicate items like guitars and glass decorations in the house to be mindful of . Honestly thought , if your thinking about this place , book it , it was great!

A great place to get away!!

My family has stayed at a lot of places, and this one took one of the top favorites. Just perfect for our family and only a short drive to the beach. I communicated with the owner prior to and it was everything (and more) that she promised. Clean, comfy, and she even had 'treats' available. Some places we've gone, they had very little in way of 'supplies', but it had everything and more! The owner defiantly knew how to take care of her renters!! I would highly recommend it to any couple or family with a few kids.

We stayed here for one week in April while exploring SD and surrounding area. The directions to the place were clear, and the keys were waiting with some instructions. The kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed the shared jacuzzi multiple nights. WiFi worked well..multiple TVs were present and seemed to work well (we ended up not watching anything beyond 5 minutes of local news). The owner was responsive to our questions. Overall a good experience.

Wonderful stay

We spent three months at The Writer’s Pad. I highly recommends this as your “home away from home” when visiting San Diego. The location of the condo is perfect and it convenient to all the major tourist areas. In addition, the neighborhood of Bay Ho offers some good dining options with a less touristy feel for a nice alternative. The condo itself is very quiet and relaxing, The beds and sofa are extremely comfortable. The kitchen Is well equipped with anything you might need. Lacy is a responsive and accommodating host. I highly recommend this spot and look forward to a return visit in the future.

Perfectly located

Perfectly located

This truly was the most perfect area location wise. Majority of attractions/towns to visit are 10-15 min. away. The town is quiet and nothing much to do other than a coffee shop and deli/liqueur store within walking distance. The apartment itself was clean and we felt right at home. Neighbors are quiet and even with the bedroom facing a parking lot, noise wasn’t an issue. Personally the floor layout was very cluttered and the lack of air conditioning gave it 4 stars. A screen door added to the front door would allow a great cool breeze to enter the apartment from the hallway which was drastically cooler than living space. We were visiting during a ‘heat’ wave, but the various fans still weren’t enough. Luckily, most of our time was spent exploring all that San Diego brings.

Amazing Location!

Amazing Location!

Perfect central location to enjoy all that San Diego has to offer! Easy access to Pacific and Mission Beaches, Sea World, Downtown and the abundance of coastal communities. Lacy’s condo is situated in a quiet and family friendly community. The condo itself is clean, updated and comfortable with all the conveniences of home. Same floor laundry, community bbq’s, pool and hot tub were an added bonus. Lacy was quick to respond to all our questions and made herself available if any concerns came up. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay and accommodations! Thanks Lacy for making our California vacation a great experience!

Home away from home- wonderful!

Home away from home- wonderful!

We were so comfortable in this apartment. We had plenty of space. The couch and beds were so comfy. The place is so nicely decorated. It has everything you need. There is a nice view from the balcony. If you are a reader, the owner has her own little library. The pool and apartment were nice and clean. But the best thing about her place is the location. With California traffic, you don't want to have to drive far. You can get to all the best places within 15-20 min. We really like La Jolla. The only problem we encountered, is that it was really hot the week we went. If the owner purchased a screen door for the entry, there would be a really good breeze. There was no air, so it was a little warm during the day, but it cooled down at night. Lacy said she was thinking of purchasing one. Anyways, she got back to us right away when we had a question. We would definitely stay here again. It was great!

Charming and Comfortable

Charming and Comfortable

What a find! This charming condo was a joy to come back to each day after enjoying ourselves in San Diego. The location was convenient to everything we did. The large screen smart TV was great for chilling in the evening. If you’re a musician, this place might just inspire you to pick up one of the guitars and write that hit song! Lacey has furnished “The Pad” with an eclectic collection of antique furniture, which gives the place great character. Not fussy, “this is going to break if I sit on it” type of stuff, but rather comfortable, inviting pieces. The Pad is not a large place, but we found it quite suitable for two adults and two teenagers. The kids enjoyed the pool while the adults sat in the hot tub. The on-site laundry was very convenient as you can pay for the washers and dryers with an iPhone app if you don’t have quarters. We bought tickets for the zoo, and realized they had to be printed out. Luckily there was a printer in the condo that I could connect to from my iPhone. That was so helpful! The owner, Lacey Younger, was an excellent hostess. She was quick to get back to us via text if we had any questions, and even offered some good advice for restaurants and attractions. From now on, this will be our “go to” spot when we visit San Diego.
