Great spot in La Jolla, charming cottage away from the well traveled path but close enough to being in the middle of it all. Highly recommended to all travelers that are headed to La Jolla for a vacation or a quick weekend get away. Felt like home and will book again.

We had an enjoyable time at the VRBO. It was true to description and very close to a nice cove beach. Also, communication was excellent! A tiny drawback was the shower water pressure but other than that all was great!

La Jolla Cottage

We had a wonderful stay in the La Jolla Cottage. The updated kitchen and bathroom are beautifully done. Everything was clean and cozy. The kitchen is well equipped and you will have everything you need to cook during your stay. Like other reviews have stated, this rental does not have a washer and dryer on property.

Great location close to the beach

We had an amazing time staying in La Jolla. Our only complaint is that the listing says that there is a washer and drier. There is not. Also the listing says garage parking. There was only street parking.

Walking distance to beach in quiet neighborhood but very dated

Unit is walking distance to the beach and also to a few restaurants nearby. Kitchen is well stocked with all the equipment. Unit is very dated and worn out. Clean but that is pretty much table stakes. Not the most comfortable stay but has it’s merits too

LaJolla Vacation

The location of the property was very good for our family vacation and parking was not an issue for us. The property itself was a little dusty upon arrival and we had to clean off a few surfaces before settling in. A few light switches did not work, we had trouble with the cable of one of the TVs and we had a bit of trouble with the pull out couch before we were able to get it set up. Overall, it was a functional unit and met our needs.

The cottage was so cozy, colorful, and cute. It was a very short walk down to a lot of access points onto rocky and sandy beaches. We felt safe. Everything worked well. It is a quiet neighborhood.

Nice place

Overall a good place to stay outside the city of San Diego. They need to update property information that NO washer and dryer on site. However, they do free laundry which was a blessing! No trash bags in trash cans so we had to use things we had for trash.

Smelled like dogs and there was black dog hair on the floor, in the shower, up the walls of shower.

Photographs well, but smelly and dirty and small with an uncomfortable bed and a bathroom faucet that turns on by itself when the irrigation goes on.

La Jolla Cottage

Great location. Easy walk to Windansea Beach and many eateries, Nautica Tavern, Busy Bee Bagel Shop. Easy 10 minute drive to La Jolla Cove area. The Cottage was nice, but could use some touch up painting. If bringing pets be aware that the enclosed backarea is about 8x8. Pictures can be miss leading. Overall a nice property. 6 out of 10 rating.

Family Fun

We took a small family birthday trip to the ocean for a short week. The cottage was really close to the beach and was a super cute place to stay. Our kids were able to comfortably sleep on the couches without having to convert them to beds (the option was there, they just didn't want to.) We were a little confused with the trash and laundry situation because it was different than the instructions, but the management company was very responsive and we had no problems with either. The only tricky situation was finding a place for our dog to stay while we were at the beach or birthday restaurants between 9am and 6pm (dogs not allowed on the beach during those hours). There was an EXCELLENT doggy daycare nearby, so our fur baby made plenty of new friends in between fun with the family too. The complimentary drinks and candies were a nice touch, I loved the coconut smelling soaps provided, and there were cute little color coordinated touches inside and out. Overall, this was a great spot for a low key vacay. We'll be coming back in a future visit for sure.

Quaint!

We enjoyed staying in this quaint duplex in a quiet neighborhood. It was clean and a close walk to the beach. There’s only on street parking and no washer/dryer, however neither was an issue for us. Our small dog enjoyed the stay as well!

Great location close to beach and La Jolla. Well stocked and dog friendly. Place was clean and as described. Could use a place outside to wash feet to avoid tracking in sand.

Great house great location

Perfect distance from beach: away from noise & crowds but easy 1/4 to 1/2 mile walk to beach or if you go east there is an excellent walk/bike trail with great views. The house is clean & has everything you need to cook and live comfortably. The back patio & fire pit is great for outside entertaining. The neighborhood is quiet at night and any party noise dies off at 9pm. Overall great experience & will definitely stay again

Perfect cottage for two.

My husband and i got married in La Jolla and stayed a week for a short little honeymoon. The cottage was perfect for us. It was really cute and very clean. The neighborhood is very quite at night and within walking distance to the beach,restaurants and shopping. The cottage has everything you need maybe just bring extra toilet paper. Lol The only thing i missed was our king size bed. But if you like to snuggle it will be perfect. We would rent this cottage again.

Cozy and perfect home

My adult daughter and I loved our stay. Communication and ease of booking was great and the home is decorated very nicely with all of the kitchen and household amenities including a welcome snack basket. Only 1.5 blocks to the beach and located in a quiet neighborhood it was just perfect for us. We loved our stay and will definitely look to book there again.
