Location, location, location

Exceptional location - only blocks from town and the beach. Walked to beach to watch the sea lions play in the a.m. then again in evening to see the sunset. Restaurants all within walking distance. Host was fast to answer questions and very accommodating. Husband and I stayed along with our two adult children. Enough space for all and very comfortable. Would have given 5 stores if not for kitchen needing some work - old and tired pots, tea kettle, etc. Bring your own coffee. Two outside areas nice - one needs to be cleaned up and more welcoming. Bring earplugs if you are sound sensitive- road traffic can be heard in bedrooms but did not bother us. Overall a great and comfortable stay. Thank you to the hosts.

Charming house in great location

This is a lovely 1920s home within walking distance to loads of shops and restaurants. The layout was perfect for our family. The furniture and beds were comfortable. I would definitely rent again

Not good, fooled by the great reviews

3 of us adults had horrible back and neck pain from sleeping on the mattresses and crappy pillows. There were 4 of us adults and 1 toddler. After a night of tossing and turning because the mattress was so uncomfortable and it creaked every time we moved, we tried the other bedroom and it wasn’t much better. The bedroom in the front of the house (with the wooden bed frame) was the worst and you can hear the traffic at all hours of the night. My neck was so strained I had to go to the knot shop (massage clinic in Hillcrest). There were stains on the lower parts of the bedsheets and the kitchen’s pans were old and grimey. The buildup in the dishwasher was really gross. We had to wash everything before we used it. And you pretty much have to buy all seasoning if you need to cook — they don’t even supply cling film (Saran wrap). I think this house is run by someone who has never stayed there before. It’s a moneymaker (based on reviews) and they don’t really care to put any extra oomph into making the place a good stay. The layout of the house was nice and having the living room open into the dining room and the location to everything in la jolla. But I can’t recommend this place — 3/4 adults had awful sleep and if you can’t sleep on vacation … what’s the point? Take my review with a grain of salt. But I didn’t enjoy this place.

Fantastic location - noisy street

This house is lovely and a fantastic location for walking to restaurants and the beaches. Very comfortable furnishings and a well-stocked kitchen. We appreciated being able to sit outside to dine as well. The only caveat is that the house is right off of Torrey Pines so be aware of street noise at all hours. Earplugs are a great fix and this was not a deal killer for our group.
