Clean and comfortable

We had a wonderful stay and would happily book it again. The house is an easy and short walk to the beach. There was a playground on the beach where we spent many happy hours. Beach chairs, buckets, and towels were all provided, and we generally found everything we needed. John was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. He generously offered us an early check-in and even a late check out. Check in was seamless and check-out instructions were the least complicated of any place we’ve ever stayed. We look forward to returning!

Cozy La Jolla rental - walk to beach

We loved staying at this cute little La Jolla house. It was well equipped and had everything we needed. This was our first time visiting San Diego and we loved the area so much, we spent much of our time in the area. We saw the seals at the Children's Beach, did a Kayak tour in the La Jolla Cove (walked there), and watched sunsets on the beach (walked). It was chilly for our visit but we were warm and cozy in the house. We took advantage of the kitchen, making small meals and laundry, as this was part 2 of a longer trip. John, the owner was a pleasure to interact with and always responded right away. We would definitely stay here again!

UCSD visit

We had a great stay visiting our daughter at college. The house was a great escape for her for the weekend and she even got her laundry done. We enjoyed tidal pooling and checking out the beach during the king tide. The neighborhood was very quiet this time of year and great for morning walks. We cooked meals and the kitchen was supplied with the all necessary equipment and some essentials like salt pepper and oil. But we also enjoyed a couple of restaurants within easy walking distance.

Excellent location and property

We had a wonderful 5-day/4-night stay. Everything was as shown in listing. Location was perfect a 1/2 block to restaurants and market, 1.5 blocks to the beach! Beds were comfy, A/C worked great, kitchen was stocked. We’d 100% stay here again on our next visit. Thank you!!

Charming bungalow could use some TLC

The duplex is cute and charming and in a great location. There’s a long narrow driveway and a shared garage space available however we were unable to use it since the other renter had a large SUV that didn’t allow enough space to get by. We asked the manager, John, for assistance, however the other tenant wouldn’t compromise so we had to search for street parking in a popular beach location. I think a more accurate description of the parking feature would be “tandem parking”.The sheets in the master bedroom were sandy as was the bathroom mat. I’d recommend replacing the shower head as it’s too low in height. I’d also recommend adding a few sauce pans as there were only 2 big pots to cook in.

This vintage beach cottage is located one block from several restaurants and three blocks from the beach. It has parking which is a plus in this area. It is very clean and has everything you need. The owner is very responsive.

Location, location, location!

Perfect place for a visit to San Diego. Our kids took a week of surf lessons at La Jolla Shores beach and could walk there on their own. Unit was exactly as advertised, and parking spot was not that difficult to get in and out of. The unit was clean and perfectly met our needs - so close to a bunch of good restaurants. The walled in outdoor spaces were lovely, The only small negatives were no a/c in the 2nd bedroom (just a fan, but would get cool if door left open) and the bathroom could use some updating. Would not hesitate to recommend!
