La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club! The location is truly unbeatable, right on the beach with beautiful ocean views and easy access to the sand. It was such a treat to wake up and be just steps away from the water. One of the highlights of our visit was spending time on the private beach. It felt peaceful and exclusive, and we loved being able to relax by the ocean, watch the waves, and enjoy the sunshine in such a beautiful setting. The property itself was very well maintained, clean, and comfortable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a relaxing beachfront getaway in La Jolla with great amenities and a laid-back atmosphere, this is the perfect spot. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the San Diego area!"
