Celebration

Our stay was great. Expected to have access to guest house as mentioned in advertising. 3 adults female in 2nd bedroom was tight. Fold away bed added to room. Very little space to move. Was disappointing. Was asked to pay extra for guest house on arrival.

Great Place

It was a very nice place and clean. The owners are great! They had snacks and desserts waiting on our arrival. She was also kind enough to ship my daughters rings that she left back to us. The neighborhood was nice and quite too. I would stay here again.

Comfortable and lovely

I can't say enough about our host, Carla, and her wonderful home. She welcomed us on arrival with our favorite pie and other treats, and made sure we had everything we needed. Carla has a gift for making her guests feel well taken care of. Her home is decorated very attractively but it is also comfortable and cozy. The view from the deck is spectacular. The neighborhood is great, near the famous secret steps of La Mesa, the village, and access to the freeways. This is the third place we have rented this month while our flood damaged home was repaired. As anxious as we were to get back home we were a little sad leaving this lovely place.

All the Comforts of Home

We had an incredible stay at this Jewel! In town for our niece's wedding. Stayed with my brother and his wife. Traveled around downtown and north of La Mesa and we were very centrally located. Carla and John could not have been more nice or accommodating. We had some travel issues come up and they were very flexible in making sure we could get into the home and get comfortable. And oh, how comfortable! The house is immaculate. It is larger than the photos show. The home is furnished like a model, but one you would want to live in for a long time. Carla made sure we would be comfortable by calling when I made the reservation and finding out what we liked and what we needed. Lots of good coffee, snacks and fruit when we arrived. We began and ended our days on the spacious deck with the marvelous views. Things important to travelers: Clean? Immaculate. Comfortable? Like home. Owners? The nicest! Space? Plenty. Scenery? Can't be beat. Water? Lots of hot and lots of pressure. Convenient? Close to highways and downtown, yet private and quiet. We visit family in San Diego. We can't wait to come back! Thank you Carla and John!

Great Views and Perfect Hostess

Perfect location overlooking San Diego. With easy access on the less congested I94 West to downtown. We stayed in both the upstairs unit which sleeps 5 for our adult children. The downstairs unit became a perfect getaway for us with no noise between levels. When you arrive Carla will warmly greet you and provide extra touches not found in other rentals.

Absolutely pleasant home away from home

Due to a major plumbing crisis at home, we were out of our house for three months while repairs were made and moved 9 times in 2 months! This jewel was the last place we stayed on this odyssey and it was wonderful! This is a warm, bright, welcoming place, extremely clean and very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely and the view really is great. If you want a place that is close to major freeways to get around...but you also want a private homey oasis at the end of the day's adventures ~ this is it! Carla is a cheerful, responsive, generous hostess. Thanks so much, Carla.

Home Away From Home

Absolutely nothing has been spared to make sure that the you have a “home away from home” when you stay in this lovely place! Comfortable beds, quality linens and towels, the most well stocked kitchen, beautiful decor and so much more make this the perfect place to stay. Carla, the gracious owner, greeted us with a sweet smile and a delicious apple pie. She also had coffee, snacks and fruit waiting for us. Everything you could possibly want is in this jewel of a home! Best place I have ever rented on VRBO!

Wonderful plus !

What a wonderful place to stay. Not only was the home beautiful & clean , it was close to the airport , close to attractions , close to great food and being seconds from the la mesa steps was a plus ! The owners were extremely accommodating and thoughtful. Not only did they give us a homemade pie of our choice , they provided us with water bottles , fruit basket , coffee , half & half, and snacks. I asked it they had dominoes and the owner went out and purchased the game for us to use. I can’t say enough nice things about the location and experience. So glad we decided to not stay in a hotel. This really was such a wonderful experience.

Great Home for the Holidays

My family had to find a home to rent to spend thanksgiving with my sister and her newborn. Carla’s place was perfect. She and her husband met us at the home and gave us a tour of the place. She also gave us tons of goodies and amenities for our stay. The beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. The kitchen was stocked and we had everything we needed to host thanksgiving dinner there!

We chose this Windsor Hills Property mainly for its charm, romantic views and dazzling sunsets. This "Jewel" boasts wood-beamed ceilings in the " Main House" (2b/2b), two outside decks, dining room, retro kitchen, and a large living space overlooking the coast.
Also a "Guest House" with kitchen, living space, bathroom (shower) and bedroom (l) which can be rented along with the Main House for overflow of guests.
The La Mesa area is in a great location and very central to so many activities through San Diego.

What makes this property unique

Our "Jewel in the Hills" Vacation Home and Guest House is in an awesome, quiet, walking neighborhood with the "Secret Stairs" that take visitors to the bottom of the mountain (or to the top of Windsor Hills) where guests can stroll into La Mesa Village for some shopping, dining, antiquing...and much more. Trolley access is available in La Mesa Village for access around San Diego and the Mexican Border.
