This home featured many touches that make it a welcoming home away from home. The fully equipped kitchen and other special touches were so very appreciated. It is meticulously kept and has so many clever places to store one's things. The view from the balcony provided a nice place for morning coffee and a nice place to relax in the evening. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and down to Sprouts, the local grocery. This property's location is very convenient to San Diego and the surrounding area. Definitely a "DO-OVER!"

Windsor Hill Gem

We stayed for 5 nights at Carla & John's home and were thankful for all the extras that were provided. Owners are very detailed and friendly. It was our first time staying in La Mesa and we loved it. The Village is great, be sure to have a meal at Sheldon's Service Station.

Great place to enjoy San Diego

This home is really a jewel! After a busy day at the beach or sightseeing, it was wonderful to return to this beautiful, quiet, comfortable home. The owners have provided everything you need, even things you wouldn't expect like beach towels and chairs. La Mesa is a great, little town convenient to almost everything in San Diego. We've stayed in many places in San Diego and this was the best.

Great view and perfect for relaxing!

Right from the beginning from the great unobstructed view all the way to the coast, and a very clean updated house made our visit wonderful. To top it off, Carla our host, had all sorts of treats and fresh fruit and muffins waiting for us. There was plenty room for two couples and we enjoyed sitting on a nice deck enjoying a morning coffee or watching a gorgeous sunset. We travel to La Mesa often and will definitely want to stay here again!

This house was perfect for our party of 8, with 2 young people sharing a room with their parents. The location made it easy to get everywhere in San Diego quickly (and the grocery store was 3 minutes away), and the house itself was beautifully cared for. Beds were all comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Carla had some goodies waiting for us and we felt truly welcomed. We highly recommend this property!
