About this property

Designer Poolside La Mesa Retreat w/ BBQ & Yard

Summary:

Relax at this newly designed poolside guest house in the quiet hills of La Mesa. This bright one bedroom one bath, has a desk, reading nook, comfortable living room sofa bed, an open kitchen, patio with bistro set, paid onsite W/D, card games, TV, new AC, coffee, and a yard. The outdoor areas are shared with other guests. Swim and lounge by the pool, enjoy the propane BBQ & the turf courtyard with seating and a playground.



The Space:

Recently remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances and beautiful bathroom with oversized shower.



This guest house is located in the hills of La Mesa, situated behind the front home, on an acre of property. It's the first floor unit, downstairs from another 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 be in your home away from home! You'll enter into the open concept kitchen, dining, living area, with a TV, card games, and pool view. The sofa folds out into a comfortable queen size bed with a 4in mattress. The chaise lounge opens to a large storage compartment of the sofa linens and pillows. Down the the hallway you will find the newly remodeled beach style bathroom, with a large shower. At the end of the hall is the bedroom with office desk, reading nook, and a queen size bed.



Outside your front door is a patio bistro set looking out to the large 10 foot deep pool. The kitchen includes retro inspired appliances, plates, cups, glasses, wine glasses, cutlery, salt & pepper, and an assortment of coffee, teas, popcorn, and hot chocolate, providing everything you'll need to make home cooked meals. The bathroom has a 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.

Relaxing Stay

We were in the area for our granddaughter's 2nd birthday. The poolside retreat was perfect for our stay. Great location, in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. We will definitely be back!

This is an EXCELLENT little property for families with young children! There are many shared amenities that are prefect for the kiddos and the pool is fully fenced. There is a unit above this one that can be quite noisy as the walls seem fairly thin, and we had a few issues with the wifi going in and out, but other than that would definitely recommend and will stay again!

Clean, but loud and uncomfortable

Unit A is clean and well-appointed, but it’s on the first floor and you can hear everything that happens in the unit above, including every step taken, a crying baby, walking, running, partying, laughing and whatever else was going on. It was so loud we were woken up many times during the nights and first thing in the morning. The owner was responsive when we complained but there was nothing that could be done. Also the pullout couch is unusable so my sister slept on the couch - not comfitwble at all. Would not stay here again.

Retro Poolside 1 Bedroom

The accommodations were in good condition in a quiet neighborhood close to downtown La Mesa. We enjoyed the proximity to relatives that live in the area. You do have to walk from the living room through the bathroom to get to into the bedroom. Since the unit is titled as "Retro Poolside" it was unfortunate the pool was not heated thus making it somewhat unusable in the late fall. If the pool is mentioned in the listing I think it should also indicate the pool is unheated so those looking for a pool know the situation.
