10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at this La Jolla Shores beach house was one of those rare family moments you wish you could bottle up forever. As grandparents traveling with our full crew of twelve — including six grandchildren — we felt so grateful to have found a home that brought everyone together so naturally.The location couldn’t be more perfect. Being directly across from La Jolla Shores Park and the beach meant the kids could run, play, and explore from sunrise to sunset. Watching them race toward the waves with boogie boards in hand became the highlight of every morning.The house itself is beautifully set up for families. We appreciated the baby crib, high chair, surfboards, boogie boards, beach chairs — everything was ready for us. The large kitchen and dining room became the heart of our trip. The big island with eight chairs was where the grandkids gathered after the beach to draw, build, and share stories. And the dining table fit all twelve of us comfortably, turning every meal into a memory.The in ground spa/jacuzzi was spotless and wonderfully relaxing after long beach days. It became our nightly tradition to unwind together while the kids giggled and splashed.And we can’t say enough about Claire, our host. She was attentive, kind, and made sure every detail was perfect.This home gave us a week of joy, connection, and moments we’ll treasure forever. We’ve already booked our stay for summer 2027 — that’s how special this place is."
