We came to town for a baseball weekend for Padres games. La Mesa is a quick drive to downtown Petco Park. The property was clean and in a quiet area. A grocery store was nearby in walking distance .Enjoyed our stay.

A true blessing

I could not have found a place as close to what i was looking for as this cottage. A stressful remodel less than 10 miles away and what i needed most was to come here to feel safe and at peace. A little home away from home what more could an oldlady ask fir?

La Mesa home away from home

This is my fourth or fifth stay here over 2 years. I love this property and location! I don't rent a car when I stay here, because I can walk to coffee, dinner or pickleball. It's 7 min from my daughter at SDSU. The house has a great indoor / outdoor vibe which I enjoy. Thanks Willem and Brittany!

A perfect location

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage. The upstairs loft was ideal for my office work. The outdoor space is outstanding and the hot tub was an added treat. Finally, the location allowed us to easily explore beautiful La Mesa’s shops and restaurants. We will definitely be back. Peter and Judi Ruscitti

Great location and the PERFECT respite!

My trip to La Mesa was due to a family health emergency and I needed a place that was well situated to Sharp Grossmont hospital and because I was in town under stressful circumstances, I needed a place that could be a quiet sanctuary and respite for me - everything I could possibly need at home and nearby. This charming cottage was exactly what I needed at exactly the right time! I would have extended my stay if it hadn't already been booked. Hosts Brittany and Willem were amazing with their communication during the entire booking and rental process. Instructions were also easy. Although I did not use all the amenities available, I slept SO WELL and was so comfortable! Most importantly, this environment helped me stay strong under trying circumstances. A bonus find was the Millicent and Company Salon nearby. My hairdresser had a family emergency before I had to leave town, so I was thrilled to find a salon. I gave them a try and was extremely happy! Thank you Brittany and Willem for letting me rent your charming cottage! I would like to visit again, next time with my husband and on vacation, not a family emergency. Wishing you many blessings in the New Year!

Great stay

We have friends that live in La Mesa and wanted to stay near them. This charming cottage is in an ideal location. You can walk to cute coffee shops and many restaurants and the drive to San Diego is not bad! The backyard is relaxing with the swinging chair and hot tub. It was a little tricky for me to figure out how to get in the house but I am directionally challenged! We had a great stay and hope to be back.

Perfect LaMesa stay

Palm Cottage is perfect in every way. The house lives a lot larger than you would think; the loft is nice and private, the kitchen well designed and functional, and the outdoor spaces fantastic. The kitchen was generously outfitted with quality cooking implements. You can't beat the location for convenience; easy and plentiful parking, too. The linens were lovely and everything was model-home pristine. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful. We are looking for any excuse to return!
