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!

Our Vacation

The property had wonderful views and is centrally located. Carla was gracious and greeted us with a cherry pie and fruit basket. The photos of the property do not do it justice. I would highly recommend staying here.

Family wedding

Carla snd John are the ultimate hosts. They make you feel welcome and at home. They greet you with all kinds of goodies and restaurant recommendations. Their home is comfortable and stocked with everything you need for a home away from home. I highly recommend this vacation rental.

Perfect!

This house was perfect for our party of 8, with 2 young people sharing a room with their parents. The location made it easy to get everywhere in San Diego quickly (and the grocery store was 3 minutes away), and the house itself was beautifully cared for. Beds were all comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Carla had some goodies waiting for us and we felt truly welcomed. We highly recommend this property!

Location, beauty, attention to detail, quiet!

If you want a spectacular view and all the comforts of a beautiful, well - stocked home in a quiet neighborhood while visiting the San Diego area, the "Jewel in the Hills" home is the place. In addition, La Mesa marks a great location for being within an hour drive to many great attractions, including the Safari Park Zoo, Julian for apple pie, La Jolla and Torrey Pines State Preserve for hiking and so many other options depending upon your family's interests. The owners include helpful information about dining and other activities and will answer any questions you may have about the area. The convenience of a top of the line washer and dryer make laundry a non-issue. Keep that in mind when packing when you stay at the "Jewel in the Hills". The beds in each room have new matresses which will allow you to sleep well and gather energy for your next day of adventures. Even the roll out bed for our 9 year old grandson was a big hit for him. He said it was so comfy! For those of you who are coffee addicts, no worries there as a coffee pot and coffee are ready for you. The owners are affable and kind as they create a welcoming atmosphere with attention to special details to make your stay memorable (like the Easter basket, bundt cake, fruit and snacks). We plan on coming back again when we visit San Diego.

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!

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!!

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.

Relaxing stay

We had a great, relaxing stay in La Mesa. Just a short drive to downtown and other great San Diego spots. Everything was well kept and they even gave us snacks (a whole cherry pie) upon check in!

Clean and Friendly

The house is situated such that there is a nice view. Carla was very nice and made a point to make us welcome, including providing snacks and pastries for us to enjoy. My only suggestion would be separate AC controls for the guest house. Thank you Carla.

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.
