About this property
Charming 2 Room La Mesa Casita w/ Pool, BBQ & Yard
Summary:
Relax at this airy second floor guest house in the hills, surrounded by beautiful trees. With over 1,000 square feet, two beds and a sofa bed, a fully equipped kitchen, and a large balcony with bistro set, it’s cozy and spacious with everything you need! A retreat styled home overlooking the pool and property. The outdoor spaces are shared with other guests. Swim and lounge by the pool, enjoy the propane BBQ & the turf courtyard with playground for littles!
The Space:
Brand new appliances, new couch with sofa bed, and windows throughout.
This guest house is located in the hills of La Mesa, situated behind the front home, on an acre of property. It's the second floor unit, above the downstairs guest house. The area is quiet and peaceful and set back from neighbors and the road. You'll take the long driveway up to the home, and park in your designated space. Upon entering using contactless, keyless entry, you'll take a flight of stairs into your home away from home. The first bedroom, with a double bed, is at the top of the stairs, loft style, with a clothing hutch. The bedrooms are on opposite ends, with the living area in between, providing nice privacy for couples traveling together.
Through the first bedroom is the door leading to the rest of the home. There is a patio overlooking the pool and property, which spans the length of the home, accessible from both bedrooms and the living room. The second bedroom, with a queen bed, closet, dresser, and smart TV, is at the far end of the home. The kitchen is well stocked to provide everything you'll need to enjoy home cooked meals, as well as a coffee station. The living room has a queen size sofa bed, with extra bedding provided in the hall closet, a smart TV, DVD player, games and movies available. The bathroom is in the hallway, and has a tub/shower, with towels, soaps, and a hair dryer provided.
You have access to a coin op shared laundry room. The pool is not heated, so typically not used in the winter. With an acre of property to enjoy, our guests are free to hike up the hill for a sunrise, and pick fresh oranges and lemons from our fruit trees. The newly renovated turf courtyard has a playground and outdoor toys for the little ones to enjoy.
Guest Access:
Guests have fully private access to the guest house, and all shared outdoor spaces (pool, courtyard, seating areas)
The Neighborhood:
Centrally located in the rolling hills of San Diego County, La Mesa is known as the Jewel of the Hills. A near perfect climate, tree-lined streets, walkable neighborhoods, easy access to retail and commercial areas, and a quaint downtown village make La Mesa a highly desirable community! It is about a 15-20 minute drive to all of San Diego's main attractions - the Zoo, Seaworld, Coronado Beach, Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, Downtown, Petco Park, and the SD Convention Center.
Getting Around:
Driving is the best way to get around, though it's a nice 20 minute walk (through the hills) to the farmers market and shops in La Mesa Village.
Interaction with Guests:
Outdoor spaces are shared with guests from all three vacation rentals on property. I am happy to assist with anything you might need during your stay. You have a private back entrance to your home right next to where you’ll park.

My kids and I loved staying here. It was clean, comfy, and quiet with plenty of space for all three of us. The checkin/checkout process was a breeze and the pool was definitely a plus!

Alycia was a very gracious host. The unit was clean, spacious and well stocked with all the essentials. the pool was a nice bonus. We had a great stay.
The property was very clean and everything worked just fine, the AC was working perfectly. It is nice a cozy and there is enough space for the 6 people limit. If you have 6 people staying over beds will have to be shared though lol. Overall good location for going out as it is not too far from any activities. Would totally book again!

Easy to find, good parking, great communication to get into the apartment
The apartment had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean with good bedding and towels
The kitchen was fully furnished
The living room overlooks the pool and it was a pleasant view and setting
It was a good stay for us
The Expedia listing had an error and there is no jacuzzi
Great quiet space for a vacation to enjoy San Diego with easy access to the highway. It's just a short 20 minute drive to the beach, zoo, and Sea World. I thought the beds were comfortable to sleep on, however, the couch isn't the most comfortable. Overall, it's a cozy space and I would recommend this place to others.
This was a perfect place to stay in San Diego.
It is very close to the San Diego Zoo, La Jolla Cove, and downtown. Alycia was an amazing host. She answered all my questions within an hour. My family of 6 was very comfortable to rest in her condo after a day of exploring. I would highly recommend her place 😊
Our stay was awesome everything was just as mentioned in the details. Felt secure and the view is beautiful. The house is clean and comfy.
The only suggestion I have if there is a checklist for checkout so that people know what is included in the cleaning charges.
My stay was very enjoyable ! I would definitely recommend this place to friends ! The place was comfortable and roomy, a nice kitchenette , bathroom was good and shower was excellent lots of hot water and pressure! The balcony was cosy overlooking the pool witch was great you also could sit comfortably around pool ! There was a BBQ I didn’t use ! This was a enjoyable week relaxing and functional place to stay ! And not far from things to do restaurants and places to shop or sight seeing !
The entire process was a pleasant pleasure. From finding the spot, to understanding expectations; from communications, to arrival and departure. My only qualm was with myself. There is a permanent resident downstairs, i had 3 kids so the anxiety that came with us making too much noise was real. Mind you, there were no complaints that i was aware of, however, i know they endured excessive noise down below. The hardwood floor were a symphony of dropped cell phones, t.v. remotes, silverware, and bowling balls! Other than that....perfect! Great folks that run the place.
