Location Location Location !
Just blocks from downtown LaJolla,this home had everything our group of 8 needed. Outdoor grill and 2 patios, comfy seating,large dining room table. Kitchen could use a few replacements on utensils etc but not anything major. This was a central spot for us to sight-see,dine and walk downtown every day to see the seals,sea lions and other native animals.Lots of dining walkable to downtown for fit adults( inclines on walk back) Owners extremely easy to communicate with. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Exceptional location - only blocks from town and the beach. Walked to beach to watch the sea lions play in the a.m. then again in evening to see the sunset. Restaurants all within walking distance. Host was fast to answer questions and very accommodating. Husband and I stayed along with our two adult children. Enough space for all and very comfortable. Would have given 5 stores if not for kitchen needing some work - old and tired pots, tea kettle, etc. Bring your own coffee. Two outside areas nice - one needs to be cleaned up and more welcoming. Bring earplugs if you are sound sensitive- road traffic can be heard in bedrooms but did not bother us. Overall a great and comfortable stay. Thank you to the hosts.

Not good, fooled by the great reviews
3 of us adults had horrible back and neck pain from sleeping on the mattresses and crappy pillows. There were 4 of us adults and 1 toddler. After a night of tossing and turning because the mattress was so uncomfortable and it creaked every time we moved, we tried the other bedroom and it wasn’t much better. The bedroom in the front of the house (with the wooden bed frame) was the worst and you can hear the traffic at all hours of the night. My neck was so strained I had to go to the knot shop (massage clinic in Hillcrest). There were stains on the lower parts of the bedsheets and the kitchen’s pans were old and grimey. The buildup in the dishwasher was really gross. We had to wash everything before we used it. And you pretty much have to buy all seasoning if you need to cook — they don’t even supply cling film (Saran wrap). I think this house is run by someone who has never stayed there before. It’s a moneymaker (based on reviews) and they don’t really care to put any extra oomph into making the place a good stay. The layout of the house was nice and having the living room open into the dining room and the location to everything in la jolla. But I can’t recommend this place — 3/4 adults had awful sleep and if you can’t sleep on vacation … what’s the point? Take my review with a grain of salt. But I didn’t enjoy this place.

Fantastic location - noisy street
This house is lovely and a fantastic location for walking to restaurants and the beaches. Very comfortable furnishings and a well-stocked kitchen. We appreciated being able to sit outside to dine as well. The only caveat is that the house is right off of Torrey Pines so be aware of street noise at all hours. Earplugs are a great fix and this was not a deal killer for our group.

Absolutely spectacular
We visited Lajolla for the weekend with our kids. This home is absolutely spectacular. Fantastic backyard patio for grilling . Kitchen and rooms are beautifully decorated. Beds are super comfortable sheets were amazing. Very clean, walking distance to shops, breakfast and all different types of restaurants. It wasn’t a beach day so we didn’t go down to the beach . Remind me of a seizure theme.

Perfect house for our family birthday getaway with our adult children and 2 small grandchildren. Plenty of room for all with a large Livingroom and nice large dinning room table. We especially enjoyed the large outdoor BBQ area. We did walk to La Jolla beach to see the seals and have lunch. There was a lot of traffic, but doable. Great time was had by all.
