How do I get a crashpad near MCAS Miramar?

Send a stay request with your dates, orders type and whether you hold a non-availability letter. If you request a specific home, we check it first. If it is unavailable, or you make a general request, eligible hosts within a 45-minute drive can bid. We review the options and send up to three for you to choose. There's no fee to request.

What will I pay for a crashpad near MCAS Miramar?

You're billed the government lodging rate your orders reimburse — $208 a night for the San Diego locality this month, seasonal, or the on-base rate if MCAS Miramar lodging is available and you don't have a non-A — with itemized, DTS-ready receipts. Hosts bid below that rate, which is how the platform runs.

Can I share a crashpad near MCAS Miramar with a classmate?

Yes. Ask to be paired at request time: both travelers are matched to the same place, each is billed their own applicable lodging rate. Any included benefits appear in the offer before you choose. Pairing is double opt-in, so nobody is matched without agreeing.

On-base lodging at MCAS Miramar

On-base lodging is Inns of the Corps Miramar (the Miramar Inn), Building 2515 at 2515 Bauer Road, inside the base near the Main Gate and within walking distance of the MCX, commissary, Bob Hope Theater, fitness center, and 50-meter pool. The front desk is open 24/7 at (858) 271-7111, or reserve through the MCCS 24-hour reservation center at 1-888-409-7829 or the online MCCS lodging portal. Rooms range from queen and king rooms with kitchenettes to suites with full kitchens, and rates include Wi-Fi, breakfast, and laundry access; a limited number of pet-friendly rooms may be available. Active-duty members on PCS or TAD orders are Priority 1 and can reserve at any time, with other eligible guests booked on a space-available basis. If the Inn is full, ask for a Statement of Non-Availability before you book off base, and note that a reservation does not by itself guarantee base access. Navy travelers can also try Navy Gateway Inns & Suites at Naval Base San Diego, Point Loma, or North Island through 1-877-NAVY-BED, and the Navy Lodge properties at North Island and Naval Base San Diego.

Confirm the current lodging allowance for your duty location and travel dates with the official rate lookup and your travel office. No current rate is quoted here. Alaska and Hawaii use DoD OCONUS rates. A published ceiling is not proof of reimbursement eligibility.

Mira Mesa and University City reach the North Gate on Miramar Road in 5 to 15 minutes, Scripps Ranch and Kearny Mesa hit the East Gate on Miramar Way via I-15 in about 10 to 15 minutes, and Poway or Clairemont run 20 to 30 minutes via Scripps Poway Parkway or CA-163 and I-805.

Mira Mesa
5 to 10 minutes to the North Gate via Miramar Road; 10 to 15 minutes to the East Gate via I-15
The default Miramar neighborhood: 1970s and 80s tract homes and condos, big Filipino and Vietnamese food scenes along Mira Mesa Boulevard, strip-mall convenience, and the most military neighbors in the city.
Scripps Ranch
10 to 15 minutes to the East Gate via Pomerado Road or Scripps Poway Parkway to I-15
Eucalyptus-lined, master-planned, and family-oriented with Miramar Lake trails, highly rated San Diego Unified schools, and larger single-family homes at a premium price.
Kearny Mesa and Clairemont
10 to 20 minutes to the East Gate via CA-163 or I-805 to I-15 and Miramar Way
Kearny Mesa is Convoy Street's Asian food district and office parks with newer apartments; Clairemont is older ranch-house neighborhoods a few miles closer to Mission Bay, both central to everything in the city.
Poway and Sabre Springs
20 to 30 minutes to the East Gate via Scripps Poway Parkway or Poway Road to I-15
Suburban and semi-rural with more house and yard for the money, Poway Unified schools that families chase, and an easy run to the mountains and Ramona.
