Stayed Jul 9, 2025Loved, 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!

Stayed Jun 25, 2025From 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!

Stayed Jun 17, 2025I'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!!

Stayed Jul 25, 2024Our 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.

Stayed Jul 18, 2024It 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.

Stayed Feb 26, 2024I 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.

Stayed Oct 18, 2023Carla 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.
