Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The home was fantastic! Everything was extra clean and the home was well stocked. It was centrally located in La Jolla and it was easy to walk to restaurants and the beach.
Parking
We got a ticket for “wheels not cramping curve” when we parked on a nearby hill. Google this and be prepared to park properly to avoid a ticket. The garage included is nice, but signs posted at the garage say car has to be out by 11.
The only improvement I’d give to the room is to include a full length mirror somewhere in the studio!
Perfect bungalow in the epicenter of La Jolla Cove
We spent 3 nights in the bungalow. Literally steps into the heart of La Jolla. Everything was clean and well appointed. Great communication throughout our stay
Excellent location and good communication with property manager. Everything is very walkable so a car isn't necessary. The place is great. Highly recommend.
Came to town work with my business partner, and the house was great. In addition to me staying at the, we actually the living room and kitchen as a work space for our planning meetings. Location was central and easy for lunch and dinners. And I loved being so close to the beach. 10 out of 10. Will stay again.
This cottage is nicely decorated and very clean. We decided beforehand not to rent a car and we made the right decision, as the location can’t be beat! You are within walking distance to the beach, grocery store, restaurants and shops. We did go out of the La Jolla area one time for a whale watching cruise and we were easily able to book an Uber for that, and the airport after our stay. The small negatives (but it wouldn’t stop us from re-booking) were that the sofa is very uncomfortable and the shower is tight. Also, if you have luggage, be sure to enter from Prospect St. and not Coast Blvd., as you will have several flights of steps to haul your luggage up (we found out the hard way). Overall, would recommend!

OVERRATED!!
First, the good: Without a doubt the property is in a great location. And the property was quite clean upon arrival.
The bad:
1)The arrival experience, after a long travel day, was extremely frustrating...and was the clear fault of the property management company. The six digit code for the front door that I was given was very clear and easy to read on my iphone...and was even underlined. After trying numerous times to unlock the door with the underlined code I could not. After calling after-hours number for the unit I was told that after putting 6 digit code I then needed to push a button with a check mark on it to open the door (which did then work). However, the message from the management company containing the 6 digit underlined code showed a barely legible "check mark" after the code that I needed to use to open the door. They should have either: a) made the check mark part of the underlined buttons that needed to be pushed and also made it equally legible to the other code numbers, or b) simply stated that after entering the 6 digit code that the check-mark button needed to be pushed to complete the opening process.
2) The property is listed on VRBO as containing a fireplace. That was actually an important feature to us when we selected the property. After considerable aggravation in attempting to turn the fireplace on by following the instructions in the 3-ring binder for the property I was forced to call the Bluewater Vacation Homes to get assistance. They were unab
Property was perfectly located right near LaJolla cove. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Property was perfect for the two of use. Great walks to the beach and along the bluffs.
Great place to stay. It's only steps from restaurants and all that the area has to offer. My brother lives in Bird Rock, so I'm sure we'll want to rent it again in the future.
Awesome place and great location. We very much enjoyed it.

Great oceanside renovated cabin. Excellent vacation getaway!
Conveniently located a couple of blocks from the ocean and stunning La Jolla Cove. Cabin has been remodeled and perfect fo a single or couple. We would definitely stay there again. The Bluewater staff was extremely helpful and our overall experience excellent.
We loved the beachy decor! Everything was thought of during the recent renovation of this perfect cottage just a short walk from the water. Close to shopping and restaurants as well. Highly recommend!
