Place was wonderful

This house was wonderful. We had 12 people stay here and fit the entire group comfortably. There were enough activities to keep all the kids entertained. The only downfall is that the hot tub was dirty and the fireplace outside didn’t work, besides that, I would stay here again.

Great house for a getaway

We actually live in San Diego, but wanted a staycation somewhere that wasn't our own house - and this house was perfect for us. It's the perfect size for a family, and the pool and deck were exactly what we needed. The pseudo-separate studio was ideal for us to escape the teenagers and feel like we had something on our own. We also had fun exploring downtown La Mesa, which is quaint and has lots to do. All in all, just what we needed.

We loved our stay!!

We had such a great time during our stay. The home was perfect for our family and accommodated all 7 of us perfectly (2 couples and 3 individuals) without being crowded. The kitchen is very will stocked with everything we needed, especially the air fryer feature on the oven…such a nice feature. Despite going in mid November, we managed to have nice weather and were able to enjoy the pool and jacuzzi as well as the outdoor games provided. We’re definitely plan to return again.

graduation

owner/ property management filed an insurance claim on an existing burn hole that was blamed on us. My 92-year-old mother slept in the room that had the burn hole. She is definitely not a smoker.You cannot expect us as renters to inspect a property that thoroughly to have found it during our short stay.

Great to come home to!

This is a great home. Kitchen and spaces plenty big for four adults. The beds super comfy. The kitchen is stocked with coffee, tea and everything you need! Super convenient neighborhood w easy access to freeways. The attached bonus room was also a great. Backyard pool and hot tub looked awesome but we never touched it!

Everything about our stay was amazing. The property was super clean and very well stocked. It was in a very central and safe location. Everything you could think of was available at the property. The backyard was lovely- our kids enjoyed the backyard games and the pool and hot tub. The view was beautiful. The property managers were highly responsive and great to work with.

This was a great property. The back yard is perfect- just like the pictures. There was plenty of room for our group of 6 kids and 5 adults. It is about 15-20 minutes to San Diego. I would highly recommend this property to anyone planning to travel to this area. It was a great stay! Host was great and very responsive!

Great Stay for our Large Group!

We had a fantastic time staying at this property with 6 adults and 7 kids. The house was clean and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The backyard was a highlight – the kids had a blast with the games, and the adults loved relaxing on the cozy sofa set by the fire. The jacuzzi was a nice touch, although it only fits 4 people, so we had to take turns.One thing to note: the pool needs to be heated in the winter, and it costs 300 a day to do so. While this was mentioned in the description, it was easy to miss. It’s definitely something to keep in mind if you’re planning to swim in winter.The location was perfect for our trip to Sea World and the beach, and we appreciated being in a nice neighborhood with restaurants nearby. Overall, a great place for a family getaway!

Nice beautiful spacious house with great amenities

The property was very comfortable and clean, plenty of space for all guests and the backyard and living room were great communal areas to hang out with my group of friends visiting san diego. The backyard pool and sitting areas are nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable. All the rooms and beds felt clean. The kitchen is nice and fully stocked with all you need including plates, cups, coffee and everything you’d need from a kitchen. Only complaint is the internal decibel audio sensor at night is too sensitive, we kept receiving noise warnings when we were playing games in the house, not even outside. Still, great property to host a group of friends and visit SD area.

Why they chose this property

Nestled in the rolling hills of San Diego County, La Mesa is a picturesque city with a quaint downtown, tree-lined streets, and lots of character. Here you are surrounded by outdoor recreation opportunities, renowned cultural attractions, fun entertainment options, and easy access to retail and commercial areas. Plus, the area is famous for its near perfect climate, walkable neighborhoods, family friendly experiences, and endless supply of everything needed to create a perfect vacation. La Mesa is known as the Jewel of the Hills and the area’s abundant hiking and urban trails help tell the story. Just 5 minutes away is Mission Trails Regional Park home to Cowles Mountain and beautiful Lake Murray. The park’s rugged hills, valleys and open areas encompass more than 8,000 acres of both natural and developed recreational area with 60 miles of trails, and the lake offers swimming and boat rentals for fishing. At 1,591 feet Cowles Mountain is the highest point within San Diego city limits. From the summit, on a clear day, you can see the ocean. You also can see into Mexico and the rest of San Diego County. The main trailhead is 1.7 miles away, at Navajo and Golfcrest, which has a parking lot and restrooms. From there, a trail goes up the western slope of Cowles Mountain. It is a three-mile round trip to the summit and back, with about 1,000 feet of elevation gain and loss. The trail cuts through brushy, rocky chaparral; on a clear day you can expect no shade but exceptional vistas. Take lots of water and sunscreen! Mount Helix, 10-minutes by car, is another great hiking spot that offers panoramic views and on clear days you can see all the way to Mexico from its summit, too.

What makes this property unique

Be sure to also check out La Mesa’s "Secret Stairs", a system of public stairways in the Mt. Nebo/Windsor Hills area that are ideal for a good cardio burn when navigating the challenging steep ascents. Families with younger children will love Harry Griffen Park with its large grassy area, playground, and outdoor stage featuring summer concerts and more. For fresh produce, the La Mesa Farmers' Market is held every Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on La Mesa Boulevard between Palm Avenue and 4th Street. A Vons grocery store is located 1 mile from the house, and there are several restaurants, shops, and a Starbucks within walking distance, too. Retail shopping options abound at nearby Grossmont Center (1.6 miles) and Parkway Plaza Mall (6 miles). Hit the Pacific Beaches in about 20 minutes with several great options to choose from including Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla Shores Beach, and Coronado Beach. For breathtaking views and the most amazing sunsets that you will ever see, visit Sunset Cliffs Natural Park – definitely an Insta-worthy spot you don’t want to miss. Additionally, all the area’s popular attractions are within a 15-mile radius from the property: Several breweries, a local wine tasting room, San Diego State University, Downtown San Diego, Liberty Station, Balboa Park, Old Town, Sea World, Sea Port Village, concert venues, and so much more!
