La Jolla Cottage 1BR

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!

The property was nice a quiet, and close to the beach that we were able to walk back and forth. It was a quaint little place we had a great time. Loved that we could buy groceries and cook in the kitchen. The only draw back was that there were little black sugar ants in the place.

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.

Great & Cozy

Enjoyed property very much, its super peaceful and steps away from the beach. Only have one suggestion the plants frawns had fallen down and it was blocking pathway and a bit noisy to walk on when trying to get in and out of cottage. Neighbor was bit annoyed with us walking through because of the stepping on the plant order to get around. Other than the cottage was quite cozy comfortable and spacious for 2.

The cottage is cozy, but it is not well maintained. There are traces of mold on the ceiling and windows. The wooden frames are weathered. Weeds are growing in the courtyard, the upholstery of the chairs is dirty. The cottage was only superficially cleaned. There was thick dust under the furniture and a tuft of black hair under the shower curtain in the bathroom. A complaint I made about a broken hairdryer was not answered. The cottage is beautifully situated, just two streets from the sea. It is cozy with an inner courtyard where you can have breakfast, barbecue and relax. The location is quiet, you can only hear the seagulls.

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.

Ant problem

The location of the property is amazing. Just steps away from the most beautiful beach. Food and coffee shops close by as well. The only problem was the cleanliness, it felt dirty and there is a big ant problem. The bed is where all the ants like to live. We were swatting ants off the bed the whole trip. Other than that it was a good location

This is the second year in a row that we stayed in this cottage over the 4th of July. It's a quiet and relaxing property. Close walk to the beach and restaurants like Cafe Vahik for breakfast.
