La Jolla cove is an awesome spot to catch site of hundreds of local wildlife including seals, cormorants, and Pelicans. The California Brown Pelicans can be found right next to the sidewalks roosting in La Jolla. December to February the males display a beautiful reddish to Olive green gullet. I love going in the early mornings to see these beauties roosting along the cliff side. They are literally 4ft from the sidewalk. As long as you don't make sudden movements it loud noises, they will happily allow you to take their photos. 😊. While there, you will see their 'neighbors', the Cormorants, mingling amongst the tribe! The male Cormorants might be seen bringing supplies to the Mrs. to build their nest! Absolutely an awesome 👏🏻 site to behold to see so much wildlife only a few feet away!

"Terrible experience. The property had a strong, unpleasant odor, and the room was so bad that we couldn't stay there. The host initially promised to address the issue but never followed through. As a result, we had to book another place ourselves. Neither VRBO nor the host refunded our payment or assisted us in finding alternative accommodations. "

"Had a nice stay, quite neighborhood, close to Sea World, Beach and other attractions. Perfect for a couple."

"Small for any 'stay home' meals but great location."

"We really enjoyed our stay here. It was clean and everything we needed for amenities they had. I will definitely come here again. Restaurants are literally all around and beach is walking distance. Love.. love this place."

"Wonderful location and host. Stayed multiple times for work and it’s great"

"Fantastic hosts on site. Had a quick question and they were put in minutes. And that was at night when we first arrived, with the AC running-Very Thankful Arizonans and extremely grateful dogs. Casita was cute, beautifully decorated and had everything you could need. It reminded us of our first place and was perfectly nostalgic for our anniversary. It even had shampoo and conditioner. Everything was walkable. There is a diner around the corner as are so many places to eat and hang. Please try...

"We enjoyed our visit to beachcomber hideaway. Convenient location with parking on the street. The unit is clean and well maintained. The beach is a short walk but we found having a car is best for all the sights and activities that are in the area."

"we loved this property and its convenient location. we hope to return!"

5/5 Excellent

Too hot in the room to sleep

"The room was neat and clean as I expected. The air conditioner would not cool the room at all. We stayed on the 9th floor and it felt better to sleep with the balcony open. It was too warm to get comfortable enough to sleep. One bed was stiff and the other was comfortable. The staff was pleasant and friendly. They answered questions I had about local activities. "

"We loved staying at the Dana! We have decided that the next time we’re in San Diego, we will stay again! It is a beautiful property. The restaurant is so good and so are the pools. Every day we had an excellent experience with the staff and the cleanliness of the rooms. We loved that they turned over the room every morning and we had a freshly made bed to sleep in every night. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!"
