It was clean, well equipped and we enjoyed the Pac-Man machine. I was disappointed to find that the Peloton has been removed, and we did have some issues with the road noise and AC - the downstairs was chilly while the upstairs stayed quite warm. Overall, a pleasant stay. ##### Carolyn C.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this unique "storybook cottage"! It is a pristine, comfortable, light-filled home. We loved that the house is just a 10 minute walk to the beautiful La Jolla beach (and within walking distance of many restaurants and shops)! ##### Deborah D.

This rental had everything we needed and more. Very clean, comfortable with lovely interior design in a perfect location - an easy walk to the beach with some great restaurants/cafes just around the corner. It was a quick drive to the Cove area. Parking was easy on the street, but we had access to the garage spot as an option. We hope to stay here again! ##### Suzanne & Rich D.

It was perfect in every way! Clean, great location, spacious, easy parking, and oh so charming. We enjoyed the beach, nearby restaurants and shop, and my only regret is that we didn’t stay an entire week. We will be back again and will certainly tell our friends about this incredible cottage. What a gem! ##### Melissa P.

I am one of those people that does an insane amount of research before booking anything and actually planned on staying at Del Coronado for this trip…and then we came along and saw this house. SO glad we stayed here instead. Everything was perfect. The linens were clean. The house was clean and amazingly conveniently located to all the great spots. It has a courtyard which is great for dropping stuff after a beach day and a little arcade which is great for those late nights. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need and showers had shampoo and conditioner. Literally, this place has it all and I can’t recommend it any higher. Book it and enjoy the beach!!! ##### Grant F. Stayed 4 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cristy M. 2 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### This cottage reminds you of The Hobbit - so charming! This perfectly located cottage was oozing with old world charm yet had all the modern amenities. We were in town for a collegiate golf tournament and loved that we could walk 2 blocks, grab a coffee and walk the beach to the Pier each morning. Great little restaurants and shops easily accessible. The kitchen and baths are all updated with a good variety of dishes pots and pans - could use a few more utencils. Decor was beachy and went well with the cottage feel. Beds/furniture were comfy and we had a ton of fun playing the Arcade games. Who knew Grampa was a Galaga expert! The primary suite is upstairs and private, however bring an eyemask because the special windows don't have coverings. We did observe that the upstairs toilet flushing is a bit loud for those in the twin bedroom. The house is an original and with it came a bit of an old wood odor. Once we had the windows opened it was less noticable. Couldn't get the Peloton to connect, but I did bring my yoga mat and use the space next to the Peloton to get in some daily practice. Definitely will come again - Love La Jolla Shores. ##### Cristy M.
