We had an amazing stay in La Jolla Shores over Thanksgiving week. The home is in a perfect location for a short walk to coffee in the morning and then time at the beach during the day. We will definitely come back!
Lovely month long stay with our Yorkie. Quiet neighborhood, fully fenced yard, with easy access to everything La Jolla has to offer. Perfect spot to access La Jolla Shores, Torrey Pines Gliderport, UCSD. 20 minutes to San Diego international airport. Gorgeous neighborhood!
Proximity to beach and other amenities was just as described. Parked the car for our three day stay and didn’t move it once except to visit local family members.
Such a magical beach bungalo! with the beach 2 blocks away, with amazing sunsets.Also coffee shops and reastaurants down the way. My husband and our pups will for sure be back cant wait!!Thank you again.
We absolutely loved our stay in your home. Thankful for the extras included and outstanding attention to our needs. Management were wonderful and so kind to work with us. The property was so comfortable in a quiet area with ample parking and ease of getting to the beach. The beach chairs and wagon were a huge bonus for us. We hope to be able to stay with you again.
We stayed here for 7 nights and we were very comfortable. The kitchen is set up well for home cooking, the house had plenty of linens, the yard is well kept, the walk to the beach is extremely short and lovely, and, this place was out-of-this-world clean. Every corner.
We would definitely stay here again!
Lovely place, well equipped and furnished with cozy beds and bedding and great, private backyard. We had everything we needed for a short trip, I really appreciate things like aluminum foil, salt and pepper, such a pain to have to buy in a lot of places.The location can’t be beat, 3 blocks from the beach, restaurants and shops, beautiful neighborhood and we felt totally safe. bout a mile to downtown La Jolla.I got 10k steps a day on the beautiful beach to burn off the great meals and cocktails!Already thinking about the next trip, will definitely come back!
La Jolla shores is always our go-to vacation spot in San Diego. It’s quiet, walkable and convenient! This place has plenty of space for our family of three. It was two blocks to the beach and had some green space for our one year old to toddle around in! Kitchen had everything we needed to make most meals at home. As others mentioned, this is on the corner of a main road so when you have the windows open you can hear traffic but it was not a deal breaker by any means. Great spot and would stay again next year!
We just stayed in January for 5 nights. The house worked perfectly for us. It was only 2 short blocks to the beach. Had a nice yard for hanging out too. Great value for such a good location. Comfy beds. Well equipped. We had an issue with the heating system and management, impressively, responded right away. Walking distance to several restaurants. And a lovely walk up the coastal path along the cliffs to La Jolla. Parking space is accessed off La Jolla Shores Drive. That street has some traffic and road noise during the day but is pretty quiet at night. The bonus room is the former garage finished off and does not have heat or operable windows so we did not use that space but did not need it. I would highly recommend and hope to stay there again.
Great location but less than ideal parking situation, etc
We really enjoyed our stay in La Jolla and loved how close we were to La Jolla Shores + Avenida De La Playa. The home is comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed being able to relax in the outdoor patios in the evenings. Unfortunately, there were a few aspects of the arrangement of the house that were concerning. One of the bedrooms is set up in a hastily converted garage. It is poorly ventilated and did not have a window. The parking situation was exceptionally poor as residents are expected to drive up and over a curb to park in a gravel space between the road and the sidewalk. Our poor car couldn't do this without scrapes and bumps to the bumpers and undercarriage. Previously, residents took advantage of the neighbors driveway to pull into this spot but they had planted hedges to block this the day we arrived. While this was out of the control of the home's hosts, it was a gross oversight that should be amended if this is the expected set-up in the future. Based on the pictures, it appears as though the home has driveway space which is what we expected but that is apparently reserved for the connecting town home. While we didn't use our car much, it was a needless stressor for us.
My husband and I with our 4 kids ranging in age from 7 months to 9 years old enjoyed a fun-filled week here! The house is just a couple blocks to the beach - walking distance, and also very close to a couple of casual restaurants, Starbucks, a Cafe/market, & gas station. It is also only about 7 minutes to a very nice area of La Jolla Shores with many nice restaurants, shops, a grocery store, and the famous La Jolla cove sea lions. It's no more than 15-20 minutes to many of the fun sites around San Diego, and we found it to be all in all a great location & home base.
The large beach down the street has lifeguards and restrooms, good surfing waves, good boogie boarding waves, but also great shallow waves our kids loved to jump and wade in for hours.
The home was outfitted with most everything we needed for the beach - towels, buckets/play things, chairs, an umbrella, a cooler, and a couple of boogie boards. The only other thing that would have been great would be a beach wagon.
Everything was as described in the listing. Clean. The kitchen had all of the basic necessities. The beds were soft. The water pressure was great and never short of hot water. There is no a/c but we didn't need it.
The home is located just off a fairly busy street or main thoroughfare through that neighborhood and was noisy at night. We brought sound machines for the kids, so they were not bothered by it.
We would recommend this area and this unit and would readily stay there again!
The rental is very nice. Great size with a perfect yard area. The kitchen is god sized and is full of everything you need for cooking. Great location, walking distance to everything.
Everything was as described which made the welcome so much easier. We used the kitchen, Grill, patio, and yard to have fun after playing at the beach all day. Kids were wore out because of getting beach time all day. No stress for finding parking at the beach because the house was so close. I don't think I will ever rent a hotel and drive to beach again! Thank you for such an enjoyable vacation.

Place is located near the beach which is really we like. Equipped with all what you need. Price is high comparing to the property condition.
Cute comfortable and clean with a big yard and kichen.
Very Nice!

Location was good to get to beach and La Jolla shores but road noise was rough at night with no ac. We had to keep windows open so no way to minimize road noise from busy nearby street ventilation in home not great so hard to cool down house. I overlooked the fact there was no ac so will be more carful to review this detail in the future Could not use extra room that was garage due to no ventilation at all
