Loved, loved, loved our stay here! Carla is an amazing host. From the personal check-in to the immaculately clean home to the welcome snacks, pie, and flowers to the comfortable accommodations with a stunning view, this is the absolute best VRBO experience we have ever had! We had everything we needed plus some. Carla was great about communicating and was a gracious and generous host.The views are amazing, and the home is pretty centrally located to anything you want to do in San Diego. We hope to come back to San Diego in the future, and when we do, this home will be our pick for lodging!

Lovely Home with a View

I'm a stickler for cleanliness & "Gem in the Hills" was spotless! I'm also sensitive to fragrances & smells, & how things feel, & everything here was great! Soft & luxurious towels & sheets with no strong fragrances. As others have said, this is a beautiful place with a gorgeous view. It was a good space for two grandparent couples, here to attend our granddaughter's high school graduation. It was great that we could park right outside the front door, with only one step into the house. We loved the bowl of fruit, the large variety of snacks, & coffee, plus the whole family enjoyed the delicious pie! Carla is an excellent host, ready to meet every need. Thank you for a wonderful stay in La Mesa!!

Perfect Home in La Mesa

From the stunning views, to the comfy beds and everything in between, our stay at Carla’s home was absolutely perfect! Carla went out of her way to help us have a great time in San Diego! She left us muffins, snacks, coffee and a delicious apple pie! She also made sure to tell us all her favorite spots to eat in the neighborhood and actually escorted us directly to one of them our first evening!! It was our first trip to the West Coast and with Carla’s help, we definitely had an unforgettable time. It was nice every evening to drive back to this comfortable La Mesa home away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s in a quiet neighborhood with a cool secret staircase very close by. From the deck of this home you have an unobstructed view for watching the sunset!! Thank you again Carla for a wonderful vacation!

Great place to enjoy San Diego

This home is really a jewel! After a busy day at the beach or sightseeing, it was wonderful to return to this beautiful, quiet, comfortable home. The owners have provided everything you need, even things you wouldn't expect like beach towels and chairs. La Mesa is a great, little town convenient to almost everything in San Diego. We've stayed in many places in San Diego and this was the best.

Great view and perfect for relaxing!

Right from the beginning from the great unobstructed view all the way to the coast, and a very clean updated house made our visit wonderful. To top it off, Carla our host, had all sorts of treats and fresh fruit and muffins waiting for us. There was plenty room for two couples and we enjoyed sitting on a nice deck enjoying a morning coffee or watching a gorgeous sunset. We travel to La Mesa often and will definitely want to stay here again!

Why they chose this property

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.
