What a perfect place to stay in La Jolla. House is great, location is perfect, and the backyard is the perfect place to kick back between local excursions. Just a short walk to restaurants, shops, park, and beach. Really can't beat it. We had a wonderful time and will recommend this one to anyone we know coming in from out of town.

This was my second stay at this La Jolla Shores home, and it was just as great as the first. The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating — even arranged an early check-in for us and provided clear, easy-to-follow instructions. The house was spotless and looked exactly like the photos. The backyard was perfect for lounging, with plenty of equipment and seating to relax and enjoy the weather.When a small issue came up during our stay, the host responded immediately and had it fixed by the time we got back that evening — couldn’t ask for better service. Everything about this stay was seamless from start to finish. I’ll definitely be back again!

Perfect summer vacation home for family!This is the second time that we rented this house, and we just love all the amenities, the location and the big backyard with all the toys for kids. The added pergola with a large picnic table is perfect: we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner every day outside.The house is clean, spacious and comfortable: we love the beds!You can walk easily to the beach even with a 4 years old, then in the evening walk to get ice-cream or dine at a restaurant.We are planning to rent again next year for a longer period.

Amazing stay

We had a wonderful vacation in La Jolla. This house was perfect for our family. You are a few blocks from the beach, local restaurants, and shops. The house met all our needs - had comfy beds, well appointed kitchen, and 'the best backyard ever' (according to my children). We would 100% stay here again if we ever return to La Jolla.

Christmas Vacation with family

This was the perfect place for us. Location was close to everything- we loved the easy walk to beach and the village. The house was very clean and comfortable. We didn’t have a lot of time to enjoy the great backyard area but it was a perfect place to hang out and relax. Communication was very good- tips about the area were provided, questions were answered quickly and check-in and check-out process was easy.

This has been an exceptional trip for us. We did have a family gathering on Friday afternoon and the space was great including the outdoors with all the available seating. It truly was a “home” away from home.Super convenient walking to the beach, cove, and pier/Birch Aquarium.With our flights we will be leaving before 10:00 am. I will try to remember to text you when we are leaving. Thank goodness the weather cooperated with our trip.

Fantastic Home, Great Location, Perfect Backyard

We stayed over Memorial Day weekend to celebrate our daughter's college graduation. The house was perfectly appointed for our group of 6 adults. The backyard is lovely with a great fire pit, conversation space, outdoor dining, and space to play yard games. The house is located just a couple of streets away from the main street with lots of great shops and restaurants. It's also just a short 5 min walk to the beach. The property manager was lovely to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend this home to a group of adults but also anyone with children as there is an adorable tree fort and playhouse in the backyard as well. 10/10

Conveniently located

This house was very comfortable for 4 adults. It is close enough to walk to the beach and nearby stores/restaurants. We had a lovely week long vacation enjoying the beach and some family time. The main con was the person staying in the single bedroom didn't have a room air conditioner, and it can get warm.

Family time in La Jolla

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Seems like a recent renovation but maintains the charm of a casual beach house. Beds and linens were comfortable, kitchen was well appointed, and the backyard was awesome - just as the photos show. Rachelle was a helpful host and responded quickly when I had a question. I would highly recommend this property! And I hope to come back again soon.
