Very good

Great choice for easy-breezy time in La Jolla! Location was key for us on this trip, and this spot delivered exactly what we wanted. Super close beach access, quiet nights and mornings, and easy walks to fun breakfast cafes made it perfect. Living room and outdoor tiny patio are comfortable spots for two people, though not for any entertaining. The bedroom is small, but the bed is perfect. One of the most comfortable I've ever slept on. The kitchen is well-stocked with every small appliance you could want and plenty of plates and glasses of all types. No dishwasher, but that was fine with us as we were mostly eating out. -- One odd note: despite all the cooking utensils you could wish for, there was a very limited supply of flatware to eat from (only two forks, for example, of non-matching size). Again, for us this was not a big deal, but it might be for some people. Host communication was great, and super-responsive when we noted a minor issue.If you're looking for a spacious, elegant beach house, this isn't it. Several spots where a refreshed painting job would be nice. But for what my husband and I wanted, it was excellent and we'd stay here again for sure.
One block from one of the world's most beautiful beaches! What else could anyone want? Nice, simple place. If I could add anything, it might be a little washable rug on the floor. The directions should make it clear that you have to enter through an alleyway in the back--I'm sure they'll fix that minor glitch.
We really enjoyed the patio charm and the closeness to the beach!

Great location!
This is a very small space but is in a great location right next to the beach, and within a very quick driving distance to some great restaurants and shopping.
We enjoyed out time at this cottage. It was a little smaller than expected but worked for the 3 of us. We loved how close it was to the beach.

This is the second year in a row that we stayed in this cottage over the 4th of July. It's a quiet and relaxing property. Close walk to the beach and restaurants like Cafe Vahik for breakfast.

Very clean and in a good quiet area.
Overall the place was great and had everything we needed. The cottage is small but very cozy, perfect for a couple. We had a great time, I highly recommend it. We will definitely come back!

The cozy cottage was exactly as it was described! It was steps away from the beach, which was a very nice beach & the little patio outdoors was great. The parking spot was a great bonus! Thank you for sharing your VRBO!

Ant problem
The location of the property is amazing. Just steps away from the most beautiful beach. Food and coffee shops close by as well. The only problem was the cleanliness, it felt dirty and there is a big ant problem. The bed is where all the ants like to live. We were swatting ants off the bed the whole trip. Other than that it was a good location

Thank you for your feedback, Daniel. We're so glad you enjoyed the amazing location and easy access to the beach, food, and coffee spots. We're very sorry the cleanliness didn’t meet expectations and for the ant issue you experienced. The home has since been treated to resolve the problem, and we’ve addressed the cleaning concerns with our team. We hope to host you for an improved stay in the future.
