## About this property

### Entire place

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

### Charming, private, pet friendly cottage close to all that San Diego has to offer

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!

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.
