La Jolla is situated on the Pacific Ocean. Our house is a 10 minute walk from all the attractions. Along the dramatic coastline lies Scripps Park, where families can picnic throughout the summer, while enjoying Fourth of July fireworks and concerts under the stars. Just south of the park is the Children’s Pool, where a seawall was originally built to protect kids from incoming waves, but has been long taken over by a local seal colony. At some times of the year swimming is no longer permitted, but you can walk out along the seawall for a close-up view of the wildlife.
La Jolla is also home to Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institute of Oceanography and plenty of cultural attractions including the La Jolla Playhouse and the Museum of Contemporary Art, all situated in close proximity to The Village, and our house. The University of San Diego, which hosts the popular Geisel Library and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, are both located in La Jolla as well, a short car or bus ride up the coast from our house.
La Jolla's biggest draw for locals and visitors alike are the beautiful beaches. During the summer and autumn months, the surf is relatively gentle, with warm waters in 70s. Swimmers, snorkelers, scuba divers, kayakers and surfers can enjoy the golden sands of La Jolla Shores, the Cove and Windansea, all within walking distance of the house. And be sure to keep an eye out for migrating whales off the coast as they travel to and from Baja California.

About the host
Hosted by Rita Alanis
La Jolla born and raised, happy to share my love of the area with visitors. I love to travel and meet new people, speak three languages, and enjoy the outdoors. I am at your disposal for any questions, just text my cell phone and I will respond quickly.
Why they chose this property
You can relax when you want in the private back yard patio or walk or bike to the ocean, into town, drive a 15 minutes to the vibrant community of Pacific Beach or to downtown San Diego
What makes this property unique
Three blocks to the beach, quiet neighborhood, private backyard for dining al fresco. La Jolla is a very walkable town with a multitude of restaurants within a few blocks of the house, a movie theater and plenty of shops. If it is nature you are looking for, look no further than the beautiful Pacific coastline, harbor seals and sea lions lounging along the coast, diving, kayaking, sailing, surfing etc a few minutes away.
