LA MESA, SAN DIEGO CA

We were comfortable & fully enjoyed our vacation because of the comfort of staying in a house instead of a hotel. Olga our host was readily available, easy to contact for all our inquiries and needs. Surely, we will not stay in a hotel anymore especially for an entire family vacation. Thank you.

Great Gem

It was a great and safe location. Mountain 2 minutes away with a trail to hike. Something different. I'm glad we tried it. Had a great time playing soccer while we were at the property. Close to everything. About a 20 minute drive to the strip.

Clean, spacious little home

This place was great! Very clean and open spaces in each room. Very comfortable and has everything you would need. Olga was super friendly and informative. Located in a smaller neighborhood with some/little street parking. Parking in the private driveway was perfect for our 2 cars. Great place to stay, would stay again!

My experience

My experience was a delightful one. The property was clean more spacious than I thought. My family and I were comfortable there. And the goody Olga was a joy. I highly recommend staying there. I will definitely stay again.

Comfortable and Flexible Housing

Extremely beautiful interior with extensive different appliances and utilities. It had AC/Heating, great ventilation, plenty of windows and natural lighting and a nice living room set up. Owner was super flexible and very kind. One of the best VRBO stats I've ever had. If I was in the SD area again, I'd highly recommend for the customer service, communication, house, and location.

Great stay

Great stay and property and Olga and Kevin were nice and accommodating. The kitchen had a few less supplies then we normally find in a rental, but we were able to make do with what we had.
