Great location, comfortable. Met our needs perfectly. Only concern was parking. It's tight access so if you have a larger car (we do) it's a bit of a challenge. The overall experience was great and it being walking distance to the beach and bars and restaurants was very nice.

Great location to the beach and dining, the two twin beds in the 2nd bedroom was great for the kids. Kitchen had just about everything we needed and the picnic table outside was nice to eat at. Family room for TV time was comfortable also.The host was great at communication and even let us know the bathroom drains weren't working so well and he was going to remodel the bathroom in October of 2025 and get all new drains in. This was great because the shower drain was a problem for us, pretty smelly and gross, so glad future guests won't have that issue.Neighborhood was quiet despite being so close to everything, kept the windows open in July and was nice and quiet. It does have window AC units in the living room and the back bedroom. The windows and window treatments are pretty old school and hard to open and close. However we understood with this vintage of a home.We'd stay there again and probably will next summer.

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!

Wonderful stay near great beach!

We loved this property and the proximity to La Jolla Shores beach! The place was spacious, clean, and beautiful. We loved the secluded yard and outdoor picnic table. The owner was very prompt with responding to our messages! We also loved using the boogie boards and beach toys provided. It was a great vacation spot!

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!
