Great location

Easy to walk to the beach and La Jolla stores and restaurants. Quiet and safe neighborhood. The house is old and could have been cleaner. The floors and dishes were dirty and the half bathroom toilet keeps flushing. Also the bedroom door with the half bathroom is jammed and can’t be fully closed.

Nice place

A little warm. Not great air flow. Great location. Needs a little interior up keep. Bathroom door very difficult to close without a loud slam. Not a problem but we had a new born with us. Location is very good. Parking is not good. Easy to get in and checkout was very easy.

cute and convenient

We recently stayed at the cottage for a wedding. We had our adult children and another guest. The house was a comfortable size and the location was perfect. We could go for walks to the beach, walk into town and on Sunday there was a local farmers market that we walked to! The beds are comfy and for the most part the house was clean. As stated in other reviews, you may want to bring slippers or flip flops as the floors are old and leave your feet a bit dirty. When we arrived the mirror in the half bath was missing and the shower curtain liner was a bit mildewed. The management got there within a couple hours to replace both. There is no air but plenty of fans and with windows open at night there was a decent cross breeze. The neighborhood was quiet so that was not an issue. We did have some dampness, being there during the hurricane, but once the sun came out the house dried right out. Just a note, after reading other reviews we did bring extra face clothes (two are provided) and large shampoo. All in all it was a good experience.

Comfortable, clean, and beautifully decorated retr

We loved staying at this beautiful comfortable Cottage. It looked just like the online pictures, and we felt at home as soon as we walked in. Tons of food options right around the corner and so close to the beach. I recommended this home to any travelers!

Seashell Cottage is a cute home away from home.

We had everything we neede to make our stay comfortable. My favourite was the great out door area and the location - just blocks from the ocean and a short walk to the village. Perfect!

The cottage in La Jolla

A beautiful and very comfortable place. It was much larger than the pictures showed. The patio area was very nice. It was within easy walking distance to the beach and to many restaurants.

La Jolla lover

Our family loves La Jolla, especially this location which is so close to many of our favorite sites to visit. It's a short walk to a beautiful beach and you can even walk to restaurants. The Cottage is very bright and even has a backyard with furniture. It's a great neighborhood.

Clean, comfortable, excellent location

My husband and I would happily rent this property again. Everything is as described, except for some of the upgraded furniture including a large sectional couch in the living room and a large cabana tent over the patio space. Walking distance to everything we needed but the neighborhood is friendly and quiet.

The house was as expected. The outside patio is really pleasant and was perfect to have my children over for lunch. The house was really clean. It is located next to the beach with not too many people. In general it was a good experience.
