About this property

Fay Cottage - Convenience in the heart of La Jolla village of La Jolla

So much close by! This small cottage is located behind an owner-occupied 1920's bungalow in the heart of La Jolla Village. The ocean and local pocket beaches are a 10 minute walk. The local grocery store, fine dining and casual restaurants and movie theater are within a 2 block walk. Bus stop on the closest corner goes to the beach and the center of UCSD campus. Bike rentals are next door. The cottage is located adjacent to 2 schools, so during school hours children's recess and science lessons can be heard. In the evening, it's very quiet and nearby homes are all single story for privacy. Full kitchen and large closets. Please note that the cottage has high speed internet but not cable. There is a smart tv with Apple TV for streaming.

The cottage features a full bathroom, full kitchen and a garden patio for outdoor seating and dining. The owner lives in the front unit, and is happy to host couples looking for a quiet escape.

The cottage is ideal for a sabbatical or a month-long stay for couple looking for time out of the winter cold. The closet in the bedroom occupies an entire wall and is outfitted with ikea drawers, shelves and hanging rods.

Top Notch Once Found

Hard to find location to park car & enter gate to property. Once inside, though, a very pleasant small cabin. Outfitted thoughtfully with plenty of storage, full basic kitchen, outdoor seating area & small gas grill. Beautifully clean. Very private location tucked into the core of La Jolla. Very short walking distance to groceries & restaurants. Convenient walk to the La Jolla Open Aire Market on Sunday mornings. If using a map app, enter 945 Pearl Street. This is the building to the left of the narrow alleyway off Pearl Street into the property & parking. Do not lose heart as you go down a narrow alley in back of stores and restaurants with some trash dumpsters. You will come to a Montessori school on the right just before the covered carport. During the day, you can hear the joyful kids playing outside & kid talk about shapes, colors and making a line :-). Owner lives in adjacent property, is a great host. Moose the dog is friendly and may welcome you with announcement barks.

Our stay at Fay Cottage

Very clean. Nice kitchen stocked with essentials. Ice maker in fridge was not working, but that was a minor issue. Bit of noise from school next door, but nice quiet evenings. Bed very comfortable. Plenty of storage space in bedroom and bathroom well stocked with towels, etc. The parking spot was a BIG PLUS. Cottage well situated within walking distance to restaurants, etc. Thank you, Leigh, for a pleasant stay.
