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! These homes have a full kitchen which saves money from eating out all the time! There is a small enclosed backyard in each home for 'hangin out, bbq or a place for your pet to roam! Yes, we are pet friendly upon approval! The parking is right at your front door and the grocery store is a one minute drive or few minute walk! As the owners, we live about 2 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!

Whether you are here to visit family or friends who live here or just to vacation on your own we hope you will make our vacation rental a part of your plans.

Nice little place - perfect commuter location

Perfect little place for our extended stay in San Diego, excellent commuter location. Little bit dated but clean, nice kitchen, nice comfortable bed in bedroom. The owners were great with excellent and quick communication and swiftly addressed an issue we found the first night. Had a great stay. Would definitely use again.

Great yard space!

I rented this home for an extended stay while in San Diego as a travel nurse. This unit was fantastic and at such a great price! Fully furnished and stocked with everything you need from kitchen supplies to cleaning products. I stayed with my two dogs so having the yard was a huge bonus! Fully fenced with a grill to cook out in a nice quiet neighborhood. We spent a good amount of time relaxing and soaking in the sun. Linda and Bill are fantastic hosts as well. The check in process was easy and they respond quickly to any questions you may have. Highly Recommended!!!

Had an excellent stay again, Linda and Bill are great hosts. any problems that came along they handled immediately. I can't say enough about the location, easy access to any place in San Diego. Lat year we stayed in the B unit and the A unit this year, while they are pretty similar, the B unit has sliding doors and a concrete patio whereas the A unit has a walk out door and no real formal patio. Still all said this is an awesome place to stay and you won't find better or more responsive hosts than Linda and Bill.

If you are looking for clean, quiet and comfortable, this isn’t it.

First off let’s start with the positive. The bathroom was modern and there was plenty of hot water. There was an excellent set of washer and dryer they were large and worked well. The kitchen was plenty big enough and was well equipped. Unfortunately, that’s it. This was situated between an incredibly noisy street, so noisy we couldn’t leave the door open, and hwy 94 which was constant noise. It was over 100* every day and there was a tiny AC in the bedroom which did not cool down the living room AT ALL. The windows where the AC was placed buzzed loudly and gave a bit of a boom when it turned off. I had to stick tubes of medication in the window along with cardboard to get quiet.There was a floor fan that did not help. I’m disabled and spent most of my time in the house with sweat rolling down soaking my clothes. The bed, even with the thin mattress topper, was horrendously uncomfortable and the pull out couch was worse. My granddaughter slept on 2 blankets and a comforter folded up which was uncomfortable in its own right. To top it off the sheets on the couch were dirty and had hair and makeup on them, JUST GROSS!! When the couch was folded into a couch, it was STILL hard as a rock. The kitchen and living room floors were so filthy that our feet were constantly black. It was gross. I feel as expensive as this was I could have stayed in a nice hotel, but chose this to have a kitchen. All in all this was expensive to start with but REALLY expensive for a terrible stay. I was insulted at having to pay a cleaning fee when I had to stay in a dirty house. I feel like they should take my Very expensive fee and get a decent mattress and sofa. I had a pull out couch for years and it was comfortable so I know it’s possible.

The place was great, roomy, clean and well furnished. Location is awesome, centrally located.

My wife and I stayed for 2 months (1 Feb thru 1 Apr) and had a blast, Linda and Bill are great hosts who do their best to assist you with anything that comes up. I can't emphasize enough on the location, you are within 15 - 20 minutes from almost everything and with the 94 a minute away access is easy. Home had total package of furnishings a person could walk in with their clothes and have all you need. Parking was always easy and accessible. I would recommend this for everyone and we will definitely be back. Easily a 5 star stay. We both feel like we hit a home run with this choice. Thank you Linda and Bill.
