About the host
Hosted by Ladan
Residents of La Jolla Shores for 20 years, very active in community, love outdoors and beach.
Why they chose this property
This is the spot to stay if you want to enjoy the beach! If you stay anywhere else in La Jolla, you have to fight the traffic and congestion to get here and then parking problem.
Stay in this home, park your car, you do not need to drive, beach and park with play ground is 3 minutes walk, restaurants, cafes, surf shops are around the corner.
Lifeguards are on-hand daily at La Jolla Shores for swimmers and surfers to safely enjoy the surf. It’s tops for picnicking, sunbathing, playing in the water, and people watching. The beach is in front of Kellogg Park which has two grassy areas for picnics that are separated by a large parking lot. Even though the beach is large and so is the parking lot, they both can fill up on sunny days. Rentals are available at the beach and on Avenida de la Playa where you’ll also find a market and restaurants.
