About this property
The Sky Lounge
Your private slice of paradise awaits! Spend sunny days by the pool, unwind in the hot tub, sip drinks at the tiki lounge, or gather around the fire pit with your crew. Stretch out on the daybed, grill a feast at the BBQ, or enjoy the awesome games we’ve got on hand. As the evening falls, the city sparkles below while ambient lighting casts a warm glow. With a guest house and room for up to 16, this home is the perfect getaway for families and friends looking to relax, recharge, and reconnect.
With sweeping views of the Laguna Mountains and effortless resort-style vibes, this home truly stands out. Spend your days poolside, soak in the hot tub, or unwind beneath the tiki bar with a drink in hand. Thoughtfully designed spaces and inviting nooks throughout offer the perfect spots to kick back and soak it all in. Plus, you’ll be walking distance to popular bars, restaurants, and shopping!
The backyard is an absolute showstopper. We’ve got games, selfie walls, sun loungers, fire tables, ping pong, connect 4, ladder toss, and cornhole. When the sun goes down, the whole space lights up with magical LED lighting. It’s pure vacation mode.
The inside is just as warm and inviting. The living room overlooks the pool and features a Smart TV with streaming apps—ideal for movie nights or watching the big game. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for home chefs or casual snackers alike, complete with a smart fridge, breakfast bar, and stunning marble dining table.
When it’s time to crash, the main house has four cozy bedrooms:
☆ Bedroom 1 (Primary Suite): King bed + twin rollaway
☆ Bedroom 2: Full-over-full bunk bed
☆ Bedroom 3: Comfy queen bed
☆ Bedroom 4: Twin bunk over two twin beds
☆ Bedroom 5 (Studio): King bed + sofa bed
☆ Living Room: Sectional sofa + air mattress
There’s a second bathroom with a big walk-in shower and a sleek vanity that makes morning and evening routines a breeze.
Traveling with a larger group? The attached guest suite is a private retreat that feels like its own mini home. Tucked away from the main house with its own entrance, the guest suite features a king bed, sofa bed, deluxe kitchenette, full bath, dining table, and sliding door to the backyard—perfect for anyone needing extra space and privacy.
Fully renovated with modern, vibrant touches throughout, the home is conveniently located near shops, restaurants, and quick freeway access for exploring San Diego.
This home has been completely redone with modern, colorful touches inside and out. It’s close to shops, restaurants, and a stone's throw away from the freeway to explore San Diego.

About the host
Hosted by Vacation Bliss Retreats
We are Vacation Bliss Retreats, a family-owned hospitality company based out of San Diego. We have a strong passion for hosting and sharing our city’s hidden gems, from great food to live music. Expect a clean, comfortable stay with thoughtful touches. If you need local recommendations, we've got you covered. Looking forward to hosting you!
Why they chose this property
Welcome to La Mesa—aka The Jewel of the Hills! This little city has such a laid-back vibe, with tree-lined streets, cute shops and cafes, and sunshine pretty much year-round. It’s super family-friendly and has that cozy, small-town feel even though you’re just a short drive from all the action in San Diego.
If you’re into the outdoors, you’re in luck! We’re just five minutes from Mission Trails Regional Park, where you can hike, rent a boat, or hang by the lake. Feeling ambitious? Head up Cowles Mountain (the highest point in San Diego!) for panoramic views all the way to Mexico and the coast—it’s a solid hike, so bring water and sunscreen!
Mount Helix is another gem—just 10 minutes away with amazing views and peaceful vibes. Want a quirky local adventure? Try La Mesa’s Secret Stairs—they’re a fun and sneaky way to get in a workout. And if you’ve got little ones, Harry Griffen Park is a great spot with a playground and free summer concerts.
On Fridays, the La Mesa Farmers’ Market is the place to be for fresh finds and local eats (3-7pm). You’ll also find plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores within walking distance. Need to do some shopping? Grossmont Center is just a few minutes away, and Parkway Plaza isn’t far either.
You’re about 20 minutes from some of San Diego’s best—Ocean Beach, La Jolla Shores, and the breathtaking Sunset Cliffs for evening views you won’t forget. Whether you're planning on hitting up SeaWorld, sipping craft brews, or exploring Balboa Park, everything’s close—so this really is the perfect home base for your SoCal getaway!
