Wonderful cottage stay

The cottage was spotless, well equipped and located an easy walk from everything. We loved using it as our La Jolla home base. The back yard and seating area were fantastic. We loved being able to get limes straight off the tree! We will definitely be back.

A lovely La Jolla Retreat

This cozy apartment made for a wonderful stay during our time in San Diego. It is stylish and comfortable and the outdoor garden space is absolutely lovely. We very much enjoyed eating eating the abundant fruit from the patio! The home is also in a great location with easy access to the beach (Windandsea) and La Jolla village!

Lisa’s Beach Cottage is Perfect

My partner and I spent two glorious months at Lisa’s Beach Cottage. It is expertly equipped and comfortable and it is walking distance to everything LaJolla has to offer. Few short blocks to Windansea and Marine Beaches. 10-15 minute walk to the Village shops and restaurants and The Cove. We had a car and took many quick trips to Balboa Park attractions in San Diego and Delmar, Carlsbad and Oceanside are a short drive. We have rented many times on VRBO-Lisa was the easiest and most attentive host by far. A perfect winter vacation from New England!

Windandsea!

Very nice cottage a short walk from the beach, restaurants, and La Jolla village. Lisa has provided everything you need for a relaxing stay in this quiet and unique San Diego neighborhood. We thoroughly enjoyed our walks to the many beautiful sights La Jolla has to offer, capped off by the incredible sunsets. All other greater San Diego sights are a fairly short drive away. A nice private yard with citrus and avocado trees adds to the enjoyment. We would return!

Private home away from home

Beautiful little cottage, exquisitely decorated, and with all the comforts of home. The large outdoor space equipped with barbecue, ample seating and even a hammock was an added bonus, and very private. Love the location being only a short walk from the beach and great restaurants, and having a dedicated, easily accessible parking space was a huge plus. Spent 5 weeks here and thoroughly enjoyed every second. Lisa is an amazing host! Not only did she respond promptly to all of my questions, she also made helpful suggestions as regards eating places, coffee shops etc. I am already looking for excuses to come back!

Our little paradise

We booked Lisa's place in La Jolla for a month in January to skip the East Coast winter. The house is in a nice and quiet neighborhood only 5 minutes walk up the street from the beautiful blue pacific ocean. One of our daily pleasures was walking on the dramatic majestic La Jolla coastline, watching the sunset, having coffee on the beach, all 5 minutes from the house. The center of the town with its many restaurants, shops, markets, was only 10 minutes walk. The house itself was very comfortable and welcoming and we immediately made it our home away from home. I can't say enough about the pleasure of having the small garden with the oranges and lemons trees, to enjoy having breakfast, dinner, bbq, or just relaxing, reading a book on the lounges. Communication with Lisa was easy, accomodating, and helpful. We were very very sad to leave and hoping to be able to come back. Thank you Lisa for sharing your beautiful house with us.
