La Jolla is your perfect southern California vacation destination, as you'll have easy access to the beach while still being close to all the popular San Diego hot spots! This charming cottage will provide a home base for you and your family and has just about everything you'd need for a relaxing stay.

Leave your cares at home and wander around the beach, which is just a short walk from this home. Comb the shores for shells or just let the sound of the waves provide the soundtrack to your afternoon. For even more fun, head to the world class San Diego Zoo or check out Sea World (both about 20 minutes away from the home). If you just plan on sticking around nearby, downtown La Jolla is a 15 minute walk.

The home has been recently remodeled, and the stylish living room provides a comfortable sofa and a TV complete with cable and a DVD player. You'll also have WiFi here, so staying in touch with work or friends back home will not be a problem.

The simple kitchen has all the necessities to create delicious breakfasts or gourmet dinners. The bedroom is nicely furnished with a queen sized bed. In the mornings, enjoy a cup of coffee out on the sunny brick patio.

This adorable beach cottage is perfect for a small family or a couple looking for a unique vacation spot. You'll feel right at home here, and after walking to the beach everyday, you may have a hard time leaving this idyllic location! Next time you have a few days off, escape to La Jolla for a beach retreat!

Don't stay here.
There was no way of contacting the property manager. It had basically no heat and the neighbor is rude and complains about "noise," which consited of coughing too loudly.

Not what we expected…
The VRBO listing did NOT disclose that this “cottage” was actually a remodeled garage on the same property as the owner… the check in instructions were very vague. It took us 45 minutes to figure out that we needed to go to the back alley to enter the property. Even after calling the rental company for help on how to find the house, the color of the front door was not the same as pictured on the listing and the rental company had the wrong color as well. Upon arriving, ants were discovered in the living room and kitchen along with a beetle. After finding multiple bugs, my boyfriend and I looked over the whole inside and found an ant trap full of dead ants inside the kitchen cabinet which contained CLEAN dishes. I was extremely disappointed. The rental company did refund half the cleaning fee which I do appreciate. However, I have never been to a VRBO so inaccurate from what I saw online. The rest of the house was clean enough, but it looks like it hadn’t been truly deep cleaned in a long time. Loved the location but wish the listing was more clear that this house is not necessarily private as the owners live a couple steps away in the main house.

Great location and affordable
This was perfect for what I needed as I was visiting family. I wasn't there very much, but it was a great respite for me when I walked in the door. Only suggestion is to get a stronger shower head. Having available parking spot and location to beach was just wonderful. Would stay here again.

Quaint
It was a nice getaway spot. Small cottage behind the main house. Was clean and definitely near a lot of things. The beach was my main focus so it was really nice to be just 2 minute's away. But its also a 20 minute walk from coffee shops and restaurants.

Blissful
Perfect spot for a lazy week of relacation and rejuvenation. The sound of the surf gently played through the open windows bringing that vital ocean sent with it. A quick walk to Windansea Beach and in easy reach of restaurants and shopping. Perfect place for two.

The worst!
We got there and there was a tag on the door. The gas had been shut off. We called and called and called. Nobody ever got back to us. We had a business dinner and couldn’t shower. We had to find a hotel and we were very late. We better get our money back!

Escaping the snow of Utah
Needed a handful of days to escape Utah’s grasp on winter. This cottage was perfect for our needs. Within walking distance to the ocean and La Jolla restaurants. Thanks for excellent communications as well.

Christmas stay in San Diego Cottage
The Cottage is charming and very clean. It was rainy so it was quite chilly inside. There were extra blankets to help that but space heaters were not working first night because a fuse blew out one side of electricity in the Cottage. It would help to tell visitors about where to plug in both space heaters at the same time. We feel we should not have had to try to find the fuse box ourselves in the dark. We dealt with it Saturday night but someone should have come over right away on Sunday morning when we texted the problem. That was a real inconvenience.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great little cottage within walking distance of the beach. Really clean and comfortable. No air-conditioning and limited air circulation with location of windows but still comfortable. Only things I would flag are that the private patio wasn't really useable. It seemed to be storage for the main house which is right next to the cottage. And if you are a large person, the bathroom may be too small for comfort. For reference my son is 6'2" / 300 lbs and would not have fit. But would definitely would stay there again if in La Jolla!
