Awesome location, about a 15 min walk to La Jolla shores beach. We really liked how quiet the street was. The home has two bedrooms with king beds which was awesome but they are adjacent to one another. One of the bedrooms with a queen is next to the kitchen so just be prepared for that. The backyard and living room are so relaxing. We made dinners two different nights and they had everything we needed. Would definitely come back!

Great place!

Great location- easy walk to beach, shops, restaurants. Place was nice, clean, and simply furnished. Backyard is beautiful! (Would recommend a fire pit in the backyard to be able to still enjoy outdoor cool evenings.) Our elderly family members were able to easily access the home as well. Loved our stay!

Beach staycation

Fairly close to the La Jolla Shores. Large home. Well equipped. Our family enjoyed the amenities and prepared dinners both nights. Spacious seating for indoors and outdoors. Great parking and lawn area was for the kids. We even enjoyed the art pieces.

the house was clean and the beds were comfortable! The parking is amazing and so is the beautiful backyard for your kids or dogs and just relaxing.The tv's were very easy to use. Plus for me. The best parking we have ever had at a rental! huge driveway and a garage you could actually fit your car in. we had 3 trucks and could have fit another in the driveway. so NICE!! Also the house was very well stocked with lots of cooking gadgets and paper towel and toilet paper! we had everything we needed. the host was communicative. we had no issues to need to call him for any issues. it is an easy walk to the beach and shops. but mind you the hill coming back up was a good workout. but not terrible. we enjoyed it. we would definitely stay here again
