Private Detatched Guest House in Mt. Helix earns consistent praise for its peaceful, private setting with lovely views and a convenient location near San Diego and SDSU, plus spacious, well-equipped interiors and responsive, friendly hosts.
Guests frequently highlight the pool, patios, and dog-friendly grounds; note the pool is unheated. Feedback on cleanliness is mostly positive, though a few note dust, cobwebs, or an old, musty smell. Wi-Fi and access are mixed; some report fast, reliable internet while others had unstable connections, and several mention a steep, narrow driveway or tricky exit to the main road. A solid choice for travelers seeking a restful base in the area.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The pool was fabulous and an absolute bonus. The location was peaceful and quiet whilst also being within easy reach of all San Diego has to offer. The bed was comfortable, we loved the board games available in the living room, WI-FI was reliable and fast, and the house was spacious enough for our family of four.

The house was super old and had that moldy house smell pretty bad. Lots of cob webbs and spiders. Floors and rugs where quite dirty. Nice quite neighbor hood. Access to the house was difficult if you have a large truck. Tight turns and steep hills. The pool was lovely but is not heated and is right outside the hosts back door..

Our family enjoyed staying here. It had everything we needed. It was very comfortable, clean, and smelled great. My boys wanted to swim here more than any other of the activities in San Diego. The views were great and the outside patio with table was enjoyable to eat outside.

We stayed here to move our daughter into SDSU. It was close to campus and was perfect for our needs. Timing didn't allow us to enjoy the pool, but it definitely looks nice! The hosts were great to deal with! There was a small plumbing issue with the dishwasher that we contacted the host about and they were over a few hours later to assess the situation and collectively we came up with a game plan for a work around. 10/10 would recommend and would stay there again!

The rental was the perfect location for our family of 4. It is close to San Diego, the neighborhood was quiet, and the views were amazing! The house was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The only thing I would suggest is maybe a few more spatulas for cooking, and dusting the air vents in the living room. Overall, it was a good stay and I would recommend!

Stayed here for son’s orientation to SDSU. It had everything we needed and more. We didn’t even use the pool! The only draw back (but out of owners control) was the tricky pulling out from driveway onto the main road. Owner was responsive and fast. I’ll be staying here again over the next 6 years when I visit my son!

Everything was awesome. The property manager responded to my questions fast. We just wish we had a heads up there was going to be a group of young men having a rather loud pool party. But! It wasnt long and seemed harmless. We would definitely stay again and enjoy the beautiful area. We loved it! Beautiful home! We made sure to keep it immaculate.

Stayed with my family in this rental over Christmas and had a great time. The rental was decorated with fun holiday decor including a tree. The house is well stocked with everything we needed. The property is absolutely beautiful and feels very private and quiet, while being close to a main road that gets you to El Cajon, La Mesa, and the freeways in minutes. The yard is very spacious but it is shared with the main house. There are a couple dogs that live in the main house that are allowed to run unleashed in the yard, just as a heads up in case you are travelling with pets or small children (they are small and good dogs but just took us by surprise). The host is very kind and gracious. We had an incident with our dog getting sick while we were travelling and the host was very understanding and communicative regarding our repayment for damages. Overall it was a good experience.

We spent the month of February in this rental. We were comfortable and there was a convenient place next to the house for the dog to go potty. It was beautiful and quiet there. There is a very narrow and steep driveway and difficult to maneuver with our big pick up. We are planning on returning next year. If there was a request, we wish the couch was two recliners instead so we could put our feet up.

The spacious guest house is in a private, quiet area. The grounds are beautiful. Check-in was easy. Dog-friendly. The hosts were gracious. I enjoyed my stay in this lovely spot very much.

Very nice p!ace. Perfect for two, but could accommodate two more on sofa in living room. Plenty of kitchen supplies.Host is very responsive to any request or issue. Pet friendly, however as someone with pet allergies, there was no sign of a previous renter with a pet.Nicely decorated and peaceful surroundings. Would return, if in the area again.

We had a great stay here. The property was beautiful, clean and quiet. We slept comfortably each night, enjoyed using the kitchen for breakfast and dinner when we weren’t out, and it was a perfect homebase as we explored San Diego. Our host Chris recommended the trolley tour and we really enjoyed it. We played battleship, which was one of many games they kept available. We would stay here again if we find ourselves in the area.
