Nicely furnished and conveniently located home with no attached walls to other units. You, your family and fur buddies will enjoy the privacy and comfort of your own place and a private yard. The Kitchen has a full size frig, toaster oven, hot plate, coffee pot, and microwave. (no stove but there is a portable oven that fits a small turkey. There are 2 rooms upstairs, one 'closed' bedroom with a door and an open bedroom that is not enclosed. There is a king size bed in the main bedroom and three twins in the open bedroom( one of the twins is an auto-man that pops open.. There would be room for six (with 5 in beds and one on the couch downstairs). There is a Gas Grill and an outside dining table.
Freeway close, 10 to 15 minutes to the zoo, San Diego State University (5 miles away), downtown San Diego, and 15 minutes to Coronado and beaches. We also allow pets and offer a pet sitting service if you need to drop your dog off at our home while you hit the town! This home has a kitchen which saves money from eating out all the time! There is a large enclosed backyard for 'hangin out, bbq or a place for your pet to roam! The yard is not fancy because we do allow dogs and therefore don't have to worry :) so it is mostly dirt :). Yes, we are pet friendly upon approval! The parking is right at your front door and the grocery store is a short drive! As the owners, we live about 7 minutes away and hope to make your stay AWESOME!!
A short drive (5 minutes?) is the heart of the Village of La Mesa, an historic location known as the 'Jewel of The Hills' There are excellent restaurants, coffee shops, antique and specialty shops. Evenings are often filled with the sound of music from the local venues. The Friday Farmers Market bustles with activity year round. There is sunshine, sunsets, hilly vistas and ocean breezes.
But you may be coming to San Diego for the famous attractions - the beaches, Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Coronado Island, San Diego Bay and events at Qualcomm Stadium. All those places are 10 plus or minus miles away from La Mesa and the freeways that take you there are just a half mile away from this duplex. The trolley is handy and provides easy access to downtown San Diego and everything between! Visiting San Diego State University? The trolley is the best way to get there because it drops you right on campus!

We loved this cozy yet spacious, comfortable with everything we needed hideaway. The owners were accommodating, helpful and quick to communicate. The beds were so comfortable and the yard was perfect for our dog. We enjoyed daily morning walks to the coffee shops. It was Perfect for our family! Thank you for everything! We hope to return!

The Perfect Home for Pet Lovers
We came to San Diego to work as medical travelers for the winter. After a really rough month in Pacific Beach, the house in La Mesa became available. Staying in the La Mesa house was such a pleasure. There was extra space for me, a king sized bed for my husband, and a fenced yard for the cat and dog.
Upon arrival, Linda had gifts waiting for everyone. The upstairs downstairs set up worked well for our sometimes different schedules.
The beds were comfortable with nice pillows and linens. Thanks for the extra sheets!
We ended up grilling a lot and enjoyed eating outside on the patio.
The Farmers Market in downtown La Mesa every Friday night, was about a mile walk. Shops, restaurants, and bars all a mile away.
Great owners, location and property. Many many thanks for our home away from home.
Lyn, John, Scrappy and Othello.

We booked 2 months while we purchased a home. The location could not be any better, very convenient to downtown shopping and restaurants and grocery stores. It was a very quiet neighborhood. It’s a little tricky to find for deliveries for food and Amazon. It was a very warm 2 months for La Mesa and while AC Is installed, it’s upstairs and doesn’t cool off the bedroom that well. Downstairs stayed warm so we used their fan to cool off. The difference in temp upstairs being cooled and downstairs is noticeable. There is no direct sun in the afternoon which is a plus. TV has cable starter package so channel selection is limited. The water pressure is very good and turns warm very fast. It is small downstairs but for 2 people, it was enough for us. The spiral staircase was a bit tricky for the dogs but they adjusted after a few days. The barbecue outside was fabulous and was our preferred method of cooking as kitchen is very small. It was stocked well on utensils and spices but no storage for groceries so we left them on the table in there. The owners were very quick to respond to a couple minor issues. I recommend this place especially regarding its proximity to downtown. It’s not luxurious but it was fine for us.

My family and I absolutely hated our entire stay at this location. It was our first time rented out someone else's home using vrbo. The home was not ready for us to move in even though the owner's stated that it was ready and had been cleaned. The home was dusty, the stairs was loose (safety hazard) I almost slipped and got injured, there was not adequate cooling only a single wall unit in living room, the shower curtain was disgusting, poor lighting in kitchen, and there was no stove.

My family and I stayed here for 2 weeks while our house was in escrow and it was absolutely perfect for the occasion.

Great location and certain to meet all your needs!
I should start by saying that Linda and Bill are just fantastic. Quick to respond not only thru the booking process but also during the stay if any questions arise. The location of this property proved to be fantastic. Central to all and less than 15 minutes to any place we needed to go. Neighborhood is quiet, friendly, and nicely secluded.
We stayed with Linda/Bill for just over 2 months while relocating to San Diego due to job transfer. It was exactly what we needed, budget friendly, all the amenities we could need, very pet friendly ( our dog is still missing the huge yard), and a very cozy and comfortable home.
Beyond the home and the hosts extraordinaire must make mention of the proximity and access to shopping (Vons and Sprouts are less than a mile), Shopping Center, Targets, Wal-marts and certainly many great local eateries; Craft Kitchen still our favorite just blocks away and the many eateries in the Village.
Highligh recommend staying with Linda and Bill....

Linda and Bill were very responsive. We had a light go out and they came over the next day and fixed it. Our dogs really loved the yard. Overall a great experience.

This property was an excellent value. We stayed here with a large family for over two weeks, and really enjoyed our stay. The downstairs/daylight basement living area is comfortable and cozy, the bedroom on the upstairs/main level is excellent, and the outdoor cooking and eating area is great! The only minor complaints were with a bathroom doorknob that was very difficult to lock, and some of the cookware in the kitchen area in the basement (the house has an inductive heating hotplate, but several of the pots and pans were incompatible with induction heating and would not work. We had to transfer food to another pot, or use the burner on the outdoor BBQ grill). These minor items were communicated to the owners on checking out, and I am confident they will correct the issues as they were always very responsive and helpful.
The kitchen is tiny, as expected, but is adequate for basic food prep. We brought a crock-pot and rice-cooker with us so that meals could be ready for us when we got home after a long day playing in San Diego, and this worked very well for us. When we tried to cook a full large meal, using the microwave, electric skillet, and hot plate all at the same time, the breaker tripped. The owners were very responsive and helped us to recover quickly- Thank you! Using the BBQ burner instead of the hotplate to finish cooking got our meal done just fine.
While having a larger kitchen, an oven, and a washer/dryer would have made things better, any place that had those amenities were significantly more expensive. I believe we got our money's worth and then some with this property. Would recommend to friends, especially for short stays and small families.

I'm not sure what I can say about Linda and Bill that would do them justice. They were very helpful anytime we needed anything, and made sure that we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. My fiancee and I stayed at this location for a little over 2 months, (it was a weird scenario), but it was a blast. We were very centrally located, and never had too far to go to do what we wanted. The neighbors were great, the house was great, and Linda and Bill were amazing. I would definitely stay here again, and recommend this house to anyone traveling to San Diego.

Affordable, and a lovely location. Stayed here for 9 days with my band Dubbest. There are 5 of us and we had 3 vehicles and we were very comfortable the whole time. Linda and Bill were very friendly, helpful and non-intrusive. The neighborhood is awesome and you're crazy if you don't try Carnitas Uruapan down the street!

Our Temporary Home
My husband is in the military and we were looking for a place to stay until our military housing was available. We were having difficulty finding a place that would take our 2 large dogs and provide a short term option. I was also in my third trimester and was looking for a place that was safe and would meet our needs. Linda and Bill were accommodating and did whatever they could to make us feel at home. We were impressed with the property and the amenities. We appreciated the owners for their communication , flexibility and responsiveness. We highly recommend this property whether you are looking for a vacation rental or a short term stay.

Spent three months here while on travel assignment. Quiet neighborhood, private road, clean house, nice neighbors . Huge fenced in backyard(dirt) great for those with dogs. Bill and Linda were always available and responded immediately to any concerns.

Excellent property for the $$
We stayed at this vrbo during our move from overseas. This gave us an opportunity to be in a place with our 2 dogs that was fully furnished, had a fenced in backyard (it was dirt but still a HUGE bonus for us)!, we had 4 people in the unit for about a week and it was tight but it worked. The grill is awesome and the king size bed (very comfortable) made this a great find. Huge thanks to Linda who was very communicative when we needed her for anything. Great neighbors and walking distance to an awesome new restaurant!

Family get away
Beautiful neighborhood, pictures don't do justice on how cozy and beautiful this home is! We are a family with 3 little ones and dreaded the thought of going to a hotel. We came across Linda's property and could not have chosen a better place for our family to stay! Very affordable, comfortable and close to everything! We loved our stay there. Owners are very reliable and made us feel like home! Thank you Linda and Bill! See you next time

Owner went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a bed. This is a perfect location to see many attractions in Southern California. I'd recommend this property for small families and people seeking adventures in Southern California. Great location for many attractions.

A week in San Diego!
We really enjoyed our stay! Everything was great! Linda and Bill were helpful and responsive but not intrusive. Location was a little hard to find at first, but was nice and quiet. Close to La Mesa village, a cute little town with coffee and restaurants, and about a 15 minute drive to downtown. All the beds were comfortable especially the king size one. We were traveling with a two year old and Linda was so considerate in making sure our needs were met. Would definitely recommend!
