This is a wonderful home to stay in near plenty of things to do. If you are a person/family who enjoys walking like we do, this location was perfect with many restaurants, shops, grocery options and the beach within a mile or two. The beach is able to be viewed from the balconies as advertised. The home is very spacious, comfortable and clean! Joel is a fantastic host who will answer any question you have in a very timely manner. We hope to be back!
We had a lovely stay! The property is just as advertised, beds were comfy, and location was great. We had everything we needed and then some! Loved the games and books also.
Amazing location, walking distance to beach and so close to many great restaurants. House was well stocked with beach equipment and items for our littles (pack n play, kid cups/utensils). Joel was a very helpful and responsive host. Our family would love to stay here again!
The location is awesome -- easy walk down to the beach as well as restaurants and a market. Also just a few minutes by car into the heart of La Jolla and down to Bird Rock and Pacific Beach.The included bikes, beach chairs, and beach toys were great. It was a very nice and convenient stay for our family and wouldn't hesitate to rebook if our travels bring us back to La Jolla again.
Great property just a short walk to Windansea Beach. Lots to do in the La Jolla area or just a short drive to other areas of San Diego. Check in was easy and the owners were highly communicative on everything we might need to know. House comes stocked with everything you need for the week and check out was easy.
Visited San Diego with our family and had a wonderful time at this property! Quick walk to the beach, family friendly (all the kid things to make travel easy), and electric car charging for our rental car. Highly recommend!
Joel was a great host and communication was excellent. Street parking is definitely hit or miss and garage parking is definitely better for compact cars. Great place to stay!

Great Stay!
This is an excellent place to stay in a beautiful location. It had all the amenities and space we needed with easy access to the ocean. It felt like home! We will definitely book this place again the next time we are in La Jolla.
Great well appointed place. Had beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and bikes. Short walk to the beach, as well as several places to eat. Had a great time.
This home was perfect for our family vacation. My grandsons had room to play and their own spaces. The home was clean and well stocked. It was a short walk to the beach and short drives to area attractions. We could all relax in a family setting. Joel was responsive and easy to work with. We all highly recommend this home as a great way to have a family vacation in La Jolla
An easy two block walk directly to the beach, this house was exactly what we needed. Extra nice to have touches include clear instructions for check-in, beach toys and towels provided, and phenomenal water pressure in the showers. Thank you for a great vacation experience for our family!

Loved our stay
We loved our stay at this townhouse - just steps from a beautiful beach, in my opinion one of the most beautiful california beaches. Donna, the host, has literally thought of everything, even extra toothbrushes. Would stay here again.
Great location - unit was clean and provided beach chairs and towels.
No cleaning materials left behind so must purchase everything of needed.

Annie, thank you for sharing your experience, we're so pleased you had a wonderful stay and that our home's location served you well! We're sorry if you needed any cleaning supplies and want you to know you could have reached out to our team during your stay and they would have been happy to assist. We enjoyed having you as our guest and we hope to host you again soon.
Everything about this property was perfect for our family of 4's beach vacation. The property is beautiful, the location is perfect. The garage was a snug fit for our Toyota Highlander, but there was easy street parking so it wasn't an issue. The house was stocked with everything we needed - bikes, bike helmets, bike locks, wetsuits, sand toys, boogie boards. I could not recommend this property more highly!
Just a few blocks from the beach in a nice La Jolla neighborhood. The townhouse was clean, well-appointed and pleasant and the hosts responsive. Really a great experience. Highly recommended.
