Spacious Home Away From Home
About this house rental
Situated in La Mesa, this charming house for $349 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Open and comfy and lightning fast internet best describes this space. In the living room is a ENORMOUS wrap around couch that is hard to leave once you sit down. Great central location as the reviews suggest! Enjoy the outdoor space with a outdoor patio table, and hammock while sipping a cold beverage and stargazing each evening, or head indoors to kick back on the comfortable sectional. Watch your netflix on the new flatscreen SMART TV. WiFi is UPGRADED AND SUPER fast and accessible thru-out the entire home, making it effortless to plan tomorrow's activities. Past the fun fish tank is full kitchen, with stainless steel major appliances and all the essentials, including a coffeemaker, blender, toaster, and dishwasher. Whip up delicious, home-cooked meals to feast upon around the nice granite dining table. After a day on the beach, wash your swimsuits in the private washer and dryer, then rinse off with a hot shower in either of the two full bathrooms. This home comfortably sleeps nine guests among the four bedrooms. Three rooms feature queen-size beds, the fourth bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk bed. There is also a futon in another common area. Sunny San Diego is overflowing with activities to please every type of traveler! Spend a day at SeaWorld petting the stingrays, getting soaked by Shamu, and riding rollercoasters. Pack your bag with towels and sunscreen for boogie boarding, surfing, and building sandcastles at Mission Beach, 17 miles away. Shop at The Gaslamp Quarter and Seaport Village. Visit Old Town San Diego, and dig into some amazing street tacos. The whole group will love walking through Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo, touring museums, and taking in the beauty of the gardens. We can allow a dog. Please see "house rules" for more info/instructions. There is a 2nd DETACHED, AND SEPARATE unit in the back that is also a short term rental. So the backyard is a shared space. If you are interested in more space the 2nd unit is available for an extra fee. We are accessible if you need anything or want some local advice on what to do or see.

Location was great for excursions and shopping. The hot tub was lovely and the owners were fabulous. The property met all of our expectations. The owners allowed us to enter early which may have rushed the house cleaner.

The home was nice, with a nice backyard. The private front of the house parking was great. We were down here for an car event and all our vehicles were able to stay right in front of the house. There are something that the owner needs to have done and we sent the list to him privately. Once those items are corrected I believe the place would warrant a 4.5 star review

We were visiting our new grandson and chose this house for the location. It was 20 minutes from anything we wanted to do. The house was spacious for the 6 of us. Plenty of towels, comfy beds and pillows. Many warm throws to snuggle under. The backyard was nice to use when we had a few really warm days. Grocery stores were a short drive. Jeff responded very quickly to the few questions we had. Nice perk are the 2 parking spots directly in front of the property. We enjoyed our 2 week stay.

This house met all our needs and was close to everything we wanted for our summer vacation. The back yard was the best and provided a lot of fun.

The location was amazing! No more than 30 minutes to get to any of our locations. The grocery stores and food options were very close to the home. The house is spacious and the back yard was very cozy. It was great for our bachelorette weekend. Would definitely recommend and would probably stay here again if it’s available!!

It was perfect for all of us. Nice and open, beds for everyone. Loved our stay. The hall bathroom needs a exhaust fan, other than that it was awesome. We will stay there again. Thank You

Overall the property is in great shape. Little things like the ice maker not working and not having any spices/condiments for cooking was an inconvenience but that is probably a COVID thing. All in all it was much cheaper than the downtown hotels and more convenient to get around the area from.

The house was very comfortable for our 6 adults. Host was very responsive to the couple minor issues that came up. Location was easily accessible with nearby grocery and restaurants. Used the hot tub pretty much every night but wish we had brought our beach towels.

This home was absolutely delightful. Plenty of rooms for the 5 of us, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and couches and a lovely backyard area. Note that there is another couple in the backyard rental, but we rarely saw them, and the hot tub had mold growing in it, so it wasn't usable, but the owners were quick to take a look and make plans to take care of it once we pointed it out to them.
The location was great and we were just minutes away from all the activities we engaged in during the week.

Can’t say enough about the weekend we spent here. The house was in great shape and we were close enough to all the things we wanted to do. I would definitely stay here again.

The property was nice, open space and the bedrooms were adequately spaced throughout the home. Here is where I had several problems: in the listing it clearly states there is a room in the back available for rent as well, it does not mention there are people living there, so we were very uncomfortable with using any of the amenities in the backyard. (Grill, hot tub, hammock).The property owners were outside in the back during the day(they were cleaning or moving things around) and I just did not like that, we rented the house to have privacy but it didn’t feel that way. The home is on a busy street so if you have kids I wouldn’t advise staying here. Several homeless in the area and parking is limited to exactly 2 compact cars. Lastly, there is no caulking in the around the kitchen sink or in the shower so you can see some mold already forming. Property was nice, if you don’t mind sharing it

This house was centrally located to different things we wanted to see around the San Diego area. Close to stores and freeways. We took our dogs on the Mt. Helix trail a few times, and the house was only about 10-15 minutes away from the beaches and downtown. The house has plenty of space inside, as well as a nice yard in the back that includes a barbecue, hammock, patio furniture and a hot tub. The yard extends into a couple of terraced gardens that have a large chess set and a corn hole set. Great location, plenty of space, pet friendly and lots to do. We would definitely recommend this property!

I stayed here with my husband, my parents, and my two young children. The house is located right on university ave, but it was surprisingly very quiet inside. The house had a great layout- grandparents stayed in the front of the house and my family (with 2 young children) stayed in the back of the house, separated by the kitchen and living room. I would recommend this home to people traveling with families for sure!

Easy to get to and great parking. The house was bigger than expected. The dining area looked like it might fit 4 people, but it fit all 10 of us. Plenty of space for us all to watch a movie together, or hang out in the back yard. The hot tub was used every night - it was clean and relaxing. There were a couple small issues, I just messaged the owner and they were promptly taken care of. Great communication! Kitchen had what we needed for cooking and eating. TP was the good stuff!! Easy check out. Close to what we wanted to do and see, so driving around was short and sweet. We will be back!
