Cottage in the Garden. New! Modern!

This little cottage overlooking a beautiful little garden was perfect for our visit to the San Diego area. The hosts were attentive and answered all of our questions via emails/text. The cottage was clean and roomy enough for our family of three.

This cozy cottage is well laid out plenty of room. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed for full dining experience. Nice self contained entry closet, laundry room and full bathroom added to the neat and tidy look of the living space. Hosts, Barb and Gary, were delightful and very accommodating. We plan to return to this amazing jewel

The hosts were so extremely thoughtful. On my arrival there was bottled water, a bottle of wine, fresh baked cookies.! they had thought of everything. The bed was delightfully, comfortable, and the surrounding gardens and windows made it a pure pleasure. I travel constantly, and I have never been in a more wonderful spot. Plus they left me coffee beans to grind with about six different ways to make the coffee were available.

It was beautiful. Friendly host a nice accommodations. We would stay there again

The Cottage in the Garden was the perfect spot for my stay. The bed was comfortable, and the cottage had everything I needed. I truly enjoyed sitting on the back porch with my cup of coffee, while watching the beauty of nature in the backyard.Barb and Gary were the perfect hosts. All of the amenities were exceptional; from the motion-sensored light in the bathroom to the beautiful concrete counters, nothing was overlooked.I hope to stay here again next time I'm in the area! Don't miss out on this quaint oasis in the midst of suburbia.

The cottage was so lovely & also very private.Our hosts were warm, welcoming & easy to communicate with.We would definitely stay there again.

We had a fantastic time at Barb and Gary‘s cottage in the garden! All the special touches with treats, wine, filtered water, bottle of water for such a nice surprise and very much appreciated. They were very helpful with our questions and everything that’s above and beyond our expectations.

We had a lovely Labor Day weekend stay while in town to attend a festival. The cottage was easy to find, and clear, welcoming instructions helped us access the place and get acquainted with the many amenities. It was a cool, comfortable retreat during a busy, hot weekend.The hosts were friendly and responsive, and we are looking forward to returning.

Such a great little place stayed with my husband and daughter. There was plenty of room for us and it was very comfortable. The hosts were very kind as well, I highly recommend this cottage!

Amazing experience and an equally amazing host!

Very impressed with our stay here. The location is right off the 125 making it easy to get on the freeway. Our host was very communicative and came to greet us upon arrival. They very thoughtfully, had the place cooled, ambient music playing and refreshments/snacks on the counter making us feel very welcome. They also had a binder with several visitor pamphlets full of info along with instructions on how to operate items in the cottage, Several walking trail options, etc. The cottage was comfortable for my husband and I and our 2 kids. The extra fancy bidet with temperature control for the seat was also a nice touch. IYKYK. A full kitchen with everything you could need and a washer and dryer in the unit are super helpful on a long stay. Would definitely recommend.

Outstanding and very thoughtful hosts. All of the comforts of home are provided, along with added treats, coffee and drinks. Great location for us. Cannot think of one negative thing to say...it was a pleasure to stay there.

This property was definitely designed with relaxation in mind. The location is safe and secure and after a long road trip or whatever your travels are it feels good retreating back to this place. The place was actually larger than it looks on the photos along with the backyard which really gives the place an added comfort. Looking forward to our next visit.

We enjoyed our stay. Very close to our daughter's house. Beautiful backyard

This was the perfect place to stay while visiting La Mesa. The cottage is identical to the listing - the garden was so beautiful and a great place to relax. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans, any cooking appliance you would need , and a full spice rack - made cooking a total breeze. All listed amenities were present and made it feel like home.Host communication was excellent, all necessary information was provided well in advance and made it easy to check in and out. A word of caution, the street this home is located off of is quite busy. I would recommend backing into the driveway to make it easier to leave the property. Would definitely stay again!

Thank youFYI - when taking a shower the water drained very slow, which led to having to stay in 3-4 ft of water while showering.

The garden cottage was inviting, clean, and comfortable. I love the modern look, the beautiful garden in the back, and the very close accessible highway. Barb is by far the best host that I have ever had with VRBO. Thanks for having us, we will surely stay at the garden cottage again the next time we are in town!

My wife and I decided to visit the San Diego area for an early anniversary celebration and our stay at the Cottage in the Garden couldn’t have been better. Everything was as advertised and our hosts were not only friendly, but very gracious and accommodating. Should we visit the area again, we will definitely look to book another stay.

I recently stayed at this cottage while visiting my daughter who attends college in San Diego. I came from Pennsylvania for the week and was blown away by this beautiful studio. From the minute, I pulled into the driveway I loved every second that I was here. The cottage looks exactly like the photos and had everything you could ever want and more from perfect bedding to a heated toilet seat to several different coffee makers, and the most adorable backyard with beautiful flowers and trees. I unfortunately had four straight days of rain while visiting but was lucky enough to be here in this adorable cottage where I could sleep in and relax and watch TV shows while looking out at the beautiful backyard. It is located on a busy street, but it was very easy to get in and out of the driveway and each morning I took a long walk through the neighborhood and saw the most beautiful homes with fruit trees and the stunning mountains in the distance. I can’t wait to come back to San Diego and I will not hesitate to rent this cottage again.

This was a great property just perfect for our needs. Beautifully appointed and the ability to open the doors up to the back garden was a huge bonus!Easy communication with hosts and we would definitely stay here again.

Only reason location isn’t 5 star is because it was tricky to back out onto the main road. There’s nothing that can be done about it and everything else was perfect! I’ll be staying here again when I visit my kids.

Very convenient located property. The casita is perfect for two people and is tastefully decorated. We enjoyed morning coffee on the patio while watching the hummingbirds in the yard.

My teenage son and I loved Barb’s place. It was perfect! The amount of space was just right. The location was fantastic! Easy access to the freeway and we seemed to be 20-25 minutes, at most, from most major SD attractions. Barb supplied body wash, shampoo/conditioner, hair dryer, bath towels, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, toilet paper, trash bags, and even had water and snacks. This was so thoughtful and convenient since most guests are flying in and not able to bring all of those items. The bedding was clean and comfortable. We had plenty of quiet and privacy. I sleep with a white noise machine and highway noise wasn’t an issue at all. As others have mentioned, the street is somewhat busy but we didn’t have any problems backing out. Just be careful. There is a bathtub but the stopper wasn’t holding the water. It wasn’t a big deal to me but it might be if you have small children. Also, there ARE curtains on the door and back door. This place was great and Barb was fast to reply to texts. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for couples or small families.
