Great for swimming and surfing, it’s also a launch pad for kayak tours across the ecological preserve to see wildlife above and below the ocean, and explore caves along the coast. The Shores is also known for the beachfront grass park, soaring sandstone bluffs to the north, and the quaint restaurants and surf shops of Avenida La Playa (La Jolla Shores downtown). Scripps Pier, Torrey Pines State Preserve, the hang glider port and the Birch Aquarium are all nearby and must-see attractions.

This house was simply amazing! 13 of us stayed out there for a girls weekend and had the best time! The pictures don't do justice for how amazing the rooftop is! The location is also amazing and is a short walk from restaurants and the beach.

Great well built open concept house

We enjoyed the house and the open air and high ceilings of the house. We had plenty of room to spread out- we did not have little kids but had we the house had lots of bunk beds for a big family reunion. The upstairs patio was great too/ for sunset

Great stay, walkable to La Jolla Shores shop/restaurant area and beach

Beautiful property, with ample space to spread out and relax even when traveling with a big group. Easy walk to the beach and local shops/restaurants in La Jolla Shores. The property has some beach equipment and says that they have a deal for free beach rentals for bikes/surf/beach gear but note that none of them seem to be close by La Jolla Shores. The lock for the casita can be a bit tricky —more detailed instructions might be helpful for the property guide.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 June 2025
We're so glad you enjoyed the space and convenient location near the beach and La Jolla Shores. We appreciate you noting the beach gear availability and the location of the free rental partners; that's helpful for us to clarify with future guests. We’ll look into ways to improve that convenience. We’d love to welcome you back anytime, Rebecca!

Gorgeous clean property

Everything was even more beautiful in person. We loved that every inch was clean and the kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and supplies for the group. Easily walkable to beach. Actual person answered when I called with a question. Just needs beach supplies likes chairs and an umbrella. Otherwise, perfection!

The place is lovely but there are no en-suite bedrooms except for casita, so a little challenging. Water pressure for the shower on main level was dismal at best
