☆VACATION BLISS RETREATS☆

Welcome to your private escape—perfect for chilling out or turning up the fun. Out back, it’s pure California vibes: take a dip in the tropical-style pool, soak in the jacuzzi, kick back under the cabana by the fire pit, or light up the grill and enjoy dinner outdoors. There are oversized games, a ping pong table, and even LED lights that make the backyard glow at night. For a slower pace, wander into the peaceful Zen Garden—there’s a mini food forest with passionfruit, limes, lemons, nectarines, apricots, and avocados.

Got a workout routine? No need to skip it. There’s a gym set up in the garage. After that, dive into arcade games or have a ping pong showdown.

Inside, the vibe is cozy-boho with modern touches. The kitchen is sleek and super functional—with a gas range, smart fridge that streams music, and everything you need to whip up meals. Eat at the dining table or hang at the bar that opens up to the living area. The leather sectional is perfect for movie nights by the fireplace, and the 55” Smart TV is all set up for streaming.

Bedrooms are set up to be your chill zone—soothing colors, comfy beds, and thoughtful decor to help you wind down. The bathrooms are stylish too, with floating vanities, premium fixtures, and beautiful custom tilework.

The guest house across the courtyard is a dreamy oasis. It's private, peaceful, and even doubles as a great remote work spot. It’s got a queen canopy bed, twin rollaway, Smart TV, electric fireplace, mini-fridge, and French doors that open to pool views.

Why they chose this property

Tucked away in the hills of San Diego County, La Mesa is one of those places that just feels easy to love. With leafy streets, a walkable downtown, and that classic SoCal sunshine, it’s the kind of spot where you can kick back or head out for a little adventure—whatever mood you're in.'

Locals call it the "Jewel of the Hills" for a reason. There’s no shortage of scenic spots, from hiking trails to quiet parks. Just 5 minutes away is Mission Trails Regional Park—a massive outdoor playground with over 8,000 acres of trails, hills, and valleys. Lake Murray is part of it too, and it’s perfect for paddle boarding, kayaking, or just relaxing by the water.

If you’re up for a challenge (and a killer view), Cowles Mountain is nearby and totally worth the climb. It’s San Diego’s highest point, and on clear days, you can actually see the ocean and Mexico from the top. The main trailhead’s less than 2 miles away, and the 3-mile round trip is great cardio—just don’t forget your water and sunscreen, there’s not much shade!

Mount Helix is also close by, and it's got stunning 360° views—great for a chill morning hike or a quick sunset trip. Another hidden gem? La Mesa’s “Secret Stairs” in the Mt. Nebo area. They’re a fun (and slightly sweaty) way to explore the neighborhood on foot.

For something low-key, Harry Griffen Park is a great hangout with big grassy areas, a playground, and even live music in the summer. And if you're into fresh produce or just love wandering farmers markets, head to the La Mesa Farmers' Market on Friday afternoons—it’s full of good vibes, local goodies, and great eats.

You’ll also be close to all the essentials—grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops (yep, there’s a Starbucks nearby), and shopping spots like Grossmont Center and Parkway Plaza.

Everything else you’d want to explore is within 15 miles—think breweries, wine bars, SDSU, Liberty Station, Balboa Park, Old Town, SeaWorld, concert spots, and downtown nightlife.

What makes this property unique

Our place is in a super convenient spot—right near the I-8 and the 125 Freeway—so getting around by car is a breeze.

You’ll have access to private parking in the garage and driveway. Got extra cars? There’s some street parking nearby, but it can be a bit limited.
The Grossmont Center and Trolley Station are just a short walk away, making it easy to hop on public transit and explore the area without driving.

Ride-share pickups are quick—usually just a 3-minute wait or less!
