About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private, Charming Cottage! Perfect for Long Stays!

Unwind in this elegant bungalow with a history of nurturing. The large brick oven in your courtyard was used to feed soldiers returning from WWII. These days, you can soak up some sun in that courtyard, whip up a great meal in your well stocked kitchen, or snooze in plush comfort. You're approx. 20 mins away from absolutely everything San Diego has to offer; beaches, hiking, culture, historical sites, amazing food, and world class Ed & Med facilities. Charming downtown La Mesa is even closer!

I had a wonderful stay at this charming Vrbo near San Diego State University. The home was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and quaint, and I felt very safe staying there on my own. It was also an incredible value for such a convenient location. The host was amazing, kind, responsive, and helpful throughout my stay. I am looking forward to staying there again!

Where do I even start?! Shane is the absolute best. Her and her husband were so thoughtful, making my home away from home so homey (lol) and welcoming for me and my two dogs. I would 100% recommend staying here for business, vaca, family time. She had literally everything you could have needed, dog toys for my dogs, washer/dryer. Thank you SO much for allowing me to stay here while I found my footing in the beautiful Sunny San Diego.

We had a great stay! The location was awesome, and the kitchen had everything we needed for an extended stay. Shane was easy to communicate with and was quick to help with the few minor things that came up. Our favorite part was the private patio. Our dog absolutely loved being able to relax outside in the sunshine. We’d definitely book this place again!
