Great Stay
This was such a cute little cottage-steps to the beach and walking distance to all the cute shops and fun restaurants. Very clean and had everything we needed. Great place for two people to stay.
Our experience was wonderful. The property was pristine, and location was ideal.The patio provided the most incredible views of the ocean. Being only two houses off the boardwalk
A quieter neighborhood since it’s not right next door to mission beach or pacific beach. It is close enough to walk to food and entertainment but you don’t get the noise. The only issue is that it has an upstairs apartment and you can hear their toilet flushing and water running, every footstep. They were conscientious neighbors however. I do recommend this place.

We had the best time at this property. One of our favorite ones. We loved having the outdoor fire pit as well as the fireplace inside. The property was well supplied with paper towels, toilet paper and towels. Owners were quick to respond and very helpful. 10/10 stay!

Exceeded Expectations
The property was great. Drift Vacation Homes was great- made everything run smoothly, handled any issues that arose quickly. Would recommend them to anyone.
This is a very cute little beachside bungalow. It has a lovely view of the ocean. The front patio is really nice to sit around the fire pit and enjoy the ocean sounds. The home is newly renovated and has very nice appointments. The communication from the property management was great and they were always quick to assist with our needs. It was nice to have the garage to park our rental car and not worry about parking which is sparse. The location is ideal for walking to restaurants, bars, coffee shops etc. We highly recommend staying here for a beach weekend getaway.
The place is really homey and love the layout of the house.. plus has a front porch and little side yard. Didn’t use all the amenities the house offers bec we’re out of the time. We just prefer staying in a house bec it gives you more flexibility to move around than a hotel. Thank you to the host, Drift Vacation staff! You are so awesome and very responsive to all our text messages. I just hope the neighbor upstairs is really happy dragging things around at the middle of the night.. but he failed to spoil our vacay. lol! Thank you again DV staff!

Thanks so much for your review, Judy! We enjoyed hosting you and hope to welcome you back again :)
We had a weekend event in LaJolla and decided to come into town early. We selected this property bc of its proximity to both the beach and Mission Bay. The home was clean with plenty of room for two. We both work from home and had enough space to do so. The WiFi worked great! Really appreciated having garage parking. Although busy during the day, the neighborhood was quiet enough at night and we could hear the ocean. Enjoyed wine by the outdoor fire pit also, with views of the ocean. Checkin and communication were great. Would definitely stay here again!
