What a wonderful experience! The property is decorated beautifully and equipped with everything you could want. The location is perfect with just a short walk to downtown, restaurants and the grocery store. Francesca is a wonderful host and we will definitely stay here again on our next visit to La Jolla.

Our stay at this casita was absolutely perfect! It was spotless, cozy, and ideal for a couple’s getaway. The location couldn’t have been better, just minutes from the beach, great restaurants, coffee spots, and even hiking trails. Francesca was an amazing host and gave us the best local tips to make our trip even better. We can’t wait to come back!

PERFECT VACATION!

This gorgeous Spanish Casita was perfect for my husband and I for a romantic getaway, and to also visit our daughter who lives in Ja Jolla. It was a short walk to La Jolla Village and the stunning La Jolla Cove. The casita was spotless, stunning, and just as pictured. Location was perfect, parking was easy, and our host, Francesca was a delight! We will definitely make this one of our regular places to stay when we visit. Thank you for everything Francesca!!!

Francesca and Steve's casita amongst the gardens is a divine slice of La Jolla. I was contemplating staying on the cover or beach, and grateful to have decided on the casita instead! Francesca and Steve were generous hosts that offered fantastic recommendations, while providing a clean and comfortable home away from home. Brava!
