Beach chairs, buckets, and towels were all provided, and we generally found everything we needed. John was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. He generously offered us an early check-in and even a late check out. Check in was seamless and check-out instructions were the least complicated of any place we’ve ever stayed.

It was well equipped and had everything we needed. This was our first time visiting San Diego and we loved the area so much, we spent much of our time in the area. We saw the seals at the Children's Beach, did a Kayak tour in the La Jolla Cove (walked there), and watched sunsets on the beach (walked). It was chilly for our visit but we were warm and cozy in the house. We took advantage of the kitchen, making small meals and laundry, as this was part 2 of a longer trip. John, the owner was a pleasure to interact with and always responded right away. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Kathleen B.

The house was a great escape for her for the weekend and she even got her laundry done. We enjoyed tidal pooling and checking out the beach during the king tide. The neighborhood was very quiet this time of year and great for morning walks. We cooked meals and the kitchen was supplied with the all necessary equipment and some essentials like salt pepper and oil. But we also enjoyed a couple of restaurants within easy walking distance. ##### Tara H.

Perfect place for a visit to San Diego. Our kids took a week of surf lessons at La Jolla Shores beach and could walk there on their own. Unit was exactly as advertised, and parking spot was not that difficult to get in and out of. The unit was clean and perfectly met our needs - so close to a bunch of good restaurants. The walled in outdoor spaces were lovely, The only small negatives were no a/c in the 2nd bedroom (just a fan, but would get cool if door left open) and the bathroom could use some updating. Would not hesitate to recommend! ##### Melissa P.

Location is excellent but property leave a little to be desired. Sheets weren't clean, termites everywhere, including beds and clean laundry. I'm only 5' 8 but had to bend down to wet my hair in the shower. There are much better properties in the same location for the same price. ##### Colm R. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michele S. 23 Feb 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Charming bungalow could use some TLC The duplex is cute and charming and in a great location. There’s a long narrow driveway and a shared garage space available however we were unable to use it since the other renter had a large SUV that didn’t allow enough space to get by. We asked the manager, John, for assistance, however the other tenant wouldn’t compromise so we had to search for street parking in a popular beach location. I think a more accurate description of the parking feature would be “tandem parking”.The sheets in the master bedroom were sandy as was the bathroom mat. I’d recommend replacing the shower head as it’s too low in height. I’d also recommend adding a few sauce pans as there were only 2 big pots to cook in. ##### Michele S. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Drew R. 30 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Value for Location Win Overall, my family had an enjoyable stay at the property and would recommend it. We had a few minor items that needed repaired upon check-in but John (host) was quick to communicate and address. You can't beat this location for the price (5 mins to the beach, next to restaurants)- the house is worn-in but clean. We were comfortable for our stay and it met expectations. As others have stated, with this being a shared duplex, you can at times hear chatter through the shared wall but it was never loud or disruptive. You may also have to do a car shuffle in the garage/ driveway during the stay but easily worked through with some proactive communication with those staying in the other unit. Thanks again John! ##### Drew R. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lauren 3 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication House was very conveniently located for walking to the beach and/or restaurants for dining out. Indoor and outdoor space was neat and clean. appreciated the hose out front for extra rinsing off of sandy children after a day at the beach. Kitchen was stocked with all basic essentials. Plenty of towels. we appreciated the beach wagon and buggie boards as well. in home washer and dryer was also essential for a week long stay. my only recommendatiosn would be to add a bath mat to the bathroom and maybe a swifter to the cleaning closet. as neat as we try to be, kids sometimes just accumulate crumbs. would/will definitely stay again ##### Lauren Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan S. 16 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, comfy space, good communication It's an easy, pleasant walk to dining, shopping & the beach in La Jolla Shores. The space had plenty of amenities for our family of four with two teens, including comfortable beds and some handy beach gear (towels, chairs, wagon, football...). A few notes on minor issues: It's a duplex, and the wall between units is a little thin, so we could occasionally hear the neighbors. That said, the bedrooms are separated from the shared wall by the hallway and bathroom, so noise wasn't a problem at bedtime. We had some trouble getting the shower to start--the faucet wasn't pulling out--and the neighbors had parked on the wrong side of garage when we arrived, but on both matters, the owner was very responsive and helpful in replies (and we eventually got the shower working with no problems... probably user error!) The TV could use an update (no streaming options that we could tell), and we couldn't get the garage door to close when it was sunny (too sensitive, it seems). But there's so much good going on here that I happily give it a high rating. ##### Jonathan S. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### BRETT M. 10 Feb 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Look elsewhere. Dirty. Not well equipped. Read full review. We cut our stay 6 days short at this property after 24 hours and moved to another location. The property is dirty. Sleeping pillows have stains all over them. Take the cases off and check. Sleeping blankets were dirty and stained. Bathroom sink backflows with dirty water when other water sources are on. The location is great, and that is why I am guessing this has so many high-star reviews. I contacted the owner to address some items and our desire to leave early. He was very rude and dismissive of the issues and told me I was being unreasonable (that the pillows and blankets were stained and dirty - many pillows didn't even have pillowcases). Open outlets not covered in the kids room with exposed wires, entire place needs a deep cleaning. You can tell this has been rented hard. If you are just going for a "cheap" place to stay this is a good fit for you. If you want something of some level of quality. Look elsewhere. I have never shorted a vacation rental stay ever and I am in the hospitality/vacation rental business - I am not leaving an unjust review on this. Trying to save another family from needing to find new accommodations. If you book this location, ask the owner if he has replaced pillows, washed comforters, blankets, etc. ##### BRETT M.

Awesome location! ##### Gabriel B.

Only concern was parking. It's tight access so if you have a larger car (we do) it's a bit of a challenge. The overall experience was great and it being walking distance to the beach and bars and restaurants was very nice. ##### David O.
