Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

“My girlfriend, friends and I stayed here a few nights and everything was more than satisfactory, the rooms were large and everyone had they’re own private room and the kitchen was fully stocked with what we needed. The back yard is HUGE!!! And the house is tucked away on a quiet neighborhood, and there’s a coffee shop a short walk away” - Jose -

“We stayed here with our 4 kids and it was perfect for our family. Not too far from the beach, zoo, and Sea World. Had a great time and Jacob and Nancy were very responsive when we messaged them. Would definitely stay here again.” - Brianna -

“We had a wonderful stay at Jacob and Nancy’s place. The house was cozy and comfortable. Neighborhood was quiet and in a good location to things we wanted to do. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to stay again!” - Brooke -

Amazing

Our stay in this house was truly amazing. The cleanliness was impeccable, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The house itself was beautifully organized and free of clutter. The backyard was spacious, allowing us to enjoy playing games, and we also had the pleasure of warming ourselves by the fire pit.

Amazing!

To start, location. My daughter is a student at SDSU, so this was close enough to be a 10 min drive, but removed from the college district. Nice neighborhood. The house itself was incredibly decorated, we all commented on how well it was it was decorated. Jacob was incredibly prepared and I appreciated the intro to property and area. The commutation I needed during my stay was very timely. I would recommend and would stay here myself again.

La Mesa

For the most part we enjoyed our stay. The AC kept the house cool during the hot week we were there. The furnishings were modern and comfortable. The house overall was a little older than expected and the drains were a little slow. Worth noting the owner was quick to offer to send someone out to fix. Washer and dryer was outside of the home in a small shed.

Suited our needs

House had what we needed but like any rental it has its quirks. I wish there had been more than one tv and the outdoor furniture took several cleanings. If you want to use the fire pit, you need to buy your pet wood. An investment in an electric fire pit would also keep away embers flying in the wind.
