Map & Owner's Profile
Family Beach House, Across the Street is Access to the Beach
Year Purchased: 1974
Why the Owner Chose La Jolla Shores
This property was our home and we had to move into a condominium because my husband has experienced some physical limitations forcing our move to keep him safe. We have enjoyed
this house along with our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our home is just steps away from the stairway to La Jolla Shores beach. It is one of the best surfing, body-surfing, boogie-boarding, diving, tide-pooling, beach-walking, sand-playing beaches in the world. A short walk down the beach, there are playgrounds with picnicking on the beach or grass. We have enjoyed watching many magnificent sunsets sitting in the living room of our home.
1/2 mile away and a wonderful place to visit, fun and educational for children and adults alike.
Great restaurants (Barbarella Restaurant serves wonderful breakfast, lunch and dinner and there are many choices for lunch and dinner.) Quaint shops and rental businesses have bikes, surfboards, kayak
Everything the big city has to offer but in a quaint setting by the sea.
There are lots of interesting stores and restaurants in La Jolla Village Square. Also, two movie complexes, one of each side of Nobel Drive.
8 minutes away, 3 1/2 miles. The LPGA Samsung Tournament will be held on the South Course September 16-20, 2009. The US Open was at Torrey Pines June 9-16, 2008.

I am a grandmother, actually a great-grandmother. I tried renting our home through a realtor and my son and I decided to try it by ourselves when the listing expired. We are both enjoying the experience very much, tourists are very nice people.

Awesome New Years stay

Review Submitted: 01/02/12
We had a wonderful time at this house for New Year's! We had a group of 8 and the house acommodated us perfectly. Never felt crowded and everyone had their own space. It is such a unique house with original art and decor......breakfast on the patio, sunsets on the upper deck, watching the surfers out the window.....this New Year's goes down in history. We are adding to our family and hope to make this an annual tradidtion for years to come. The owners are welcoming and hospitable and did whatever they could to make our stay enjoyable.

Want to go to sleep every night with the surf gently sounding in your ear ?? Then this is the place. Great ocean view from the upstairs family room. And this house has lots of art and other very quaint stuff inside, (72 items hanging on the wall) fully stocked kitchen, easy parking in and out. Folks this is just like home. Great restaurants close by, try the Scripts cafe for lunch, just down the street with outside seating overlooking the beach. The outside deck and patio with orange and other trees not often seen in Ohio make it the perfect place to read and bird watch. Easy access to the beach just follow the surfers. The owners are great and will goo 100 percent plus to make your stay enjoyable.

Wonderful location

Review Submitted: 09/10/11
Stayed at the end of July 2011. The house was wonderful. The location was great. Lynne was accomodating. The only negative was the mattress in the bedroom off of the kitchen. I could barely sleep on it. It was so uncomfortable. I e-mailed Lynn when we got home to let her know about it (figuring that she hasn't slept in the house herself for years and would not know the condition of the mattress). To my dismay she did not acknowledge my e-mail. So I have no idea if she changed the mattress or not. Just don't pick that room if you want a good night's sleep.
Owner response:I cannot apologize enough. I wanted to give real information before I answered the email but obviously should have acknowledged that I got it and would get back with what I was able to do. I started shopping for mattresses and then completely forgot who to let know that I could afford it now. I realized I could not search my emails, if I didn't know the name. I have so many emails and I could not find it. I am replacing the mattress as soon as possible. I had never had any comment about it before this. I have to be able to be at the house with it vacant, of course, for an entire day so I can get it delivered. My memory... I'm so sorry, Lynne

Fantastic Vacation Home

Review Submitted: 08/25/11
This vacation home is wonderful. It is located across the street from the ocean, has a beautiful view; is near LaJolla Shores park and playground; is down the hill from the Scripps Aquarium; walking distance to downtown LaJolla---all in all a perfect location. The house itself is spacious, well maintained, and fully equipped; plus, it has a wonderful back yard that is very lovely and comfortable with plenty of extra dining and playing space. Lynne and Howard are very accomodating owners, and available if needed. Our family ages from 2 to 68 all felt very comfortable and happy with our home away from home! joanne a.

A true "HomeAway"

Review Submitted: 07/14/11
This was a perfect place for friends to gather to celebrate life and enjoy the ocean breeze, the beach, the waves, the view and the sunsets. The service was top notch and personalized! Lynne is a gem. We especially loved the hot outdoor shower on our return from the beach which was just steps away. The privacy in the back patio area was perfect for relaxing dinners; another standout favorite feature. Thank you Lynne. We had a memorable time gathering in your beach house!

I wanted to thank you again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful beach house. It was so nice--a perfect location in a wonderful home. We had great weather-except for one day. There are so many fun things to do in the area we kept busy. We enjoyed watching the waves every evening, and of course the surfers. Having the beach so close was a bonus. La Jolla is fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing your home. We had a great week of memory building, and the kids kept saying how nice the house was, what a perfect location, etc. Have a blessed summer, Lynne, and thank you.

My family of 5 stayed in this amazing house for the first week of the kids' summer vacation. We had the best time. The location is exactly as described, too good to be true. The outdoor patio is shaded by a canopy, and ideal for eating meals prepared on the BBQ. The stairs to the beach are so close to the house that you hardly need shoes. We saw dolphins swimming and playing just beyond the surfers. Every night, we watched the sun set over the ocean from the balcony. Our car stayed in the garage except for a couple trips to the grocery store. Words cannot describe how relaxing and perfect this vacation was. Lynne, the owner, is professional, helpful, and kind. Our full security deposit was returned to us quickly. I have already recommended this property to friends and family. La Jolla Shores is a magical place.

Beautiful view and wonderful homeowner

Review Submitted: 04/22/11
My family enjoyed this house for 4 days. The view is outstanding and the beach is a two minute walk away. My husband and parents as well as our 3 kids fit comfortably in the home. Dolphins were easily found every morning out the window, and the surfers were fun to watch. The street is not very busy and the nights were quiet and relaxing. Parking was very convenient as the garage is off an alley and is plenty big for 2 cars. The back yard is beautiful with fresh fruit trees and a new deck. The homeowner was very accommodating and available if we needed anything. She showed us around and even left some new sand toys for our girls to play with- very sweet lady. The locks to the house were coded, so we didn't have to worry about a key or garage door opener. If we ever make it back to La Jolla, we would love to make this our home for the stay!

This is a gem of a location, house and overall pick! The pictures do not do this house justice - the house is awesome on every level (to many to list). Location is perfect for the beach, walking to the village or driving around LaLolla. It is a quiet location. No worries about parking since you can park in the garage or driveway behind the house. The view of the ocean on the second level is amazing. We spent every morning on the deck overlooking the ocean having our breakfast, chatting and watching the surfers. We actually got to see dolphins jumping the waves with the surfers! You can't go wrong with this house if you want a great view of the ocean (morning or sunset) with the comforts of home. Lynne is great to work with which makes it's even better....... Highly recommend this house. I would certainly come again for my next visit to LaJolla.

Our dream weekend!

We live in downtown San Diego and wanted to "get away" for the weekend to celebrate a milestone Birthday with a few close friends. We couldn't be happier with the way things turned out in this lovely home! We sited dolphins eight or nine time and even saw two migrating whales! We had long walks on the beach and enjoyed meaningful conversations over meals on the patio while basking in the sun surrounded by fruit trees. It's hard to explain, but something about this home made everyone feel instantly relaxed! Perhaps it's the beautiful view, the warm accommodations or just the feeling of complete relaxation! Whatever it was, we will be sure to recommend the perfect place to everyone we know who's looking for a similar experience!
