Map & Owner's Profile
Beach House ~ La Jolla, California
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 Single Family Residence
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 many magnificent sunsets sitting in the living room of this 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.
Owner's Map of La Jolla Shores
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.
