About Barb Walker
Barb, the onsite property manager, and I have lived on property since 1989 when I purchased the property. I am semi retired and travel frequently ,usually gone all summer. I primarily work with a biotech company based in San Diego. Barb rents the studio located behind the main house and also has a house cleaning and pet sitting service (both available to guests in the house).
Originally from the Midwest ( Champaign, IL), went to college in Indiana (De Pauw University), graduate school in Chicago ( University of Illinois College of Dentistry) and ended up in San Diego. I remain quite active, my main hobby is swimming, both pool and ocean which I do daily, along with gym workouts on campus at UCSD and running. I enjoy travel, when time permits and visits to Maui, where I lived for 2 years and still have a condo (VRBO/61838!).
Barb Walker purchased this house in 1989
Why Barb Walker chose San Diego County
This has been my home since 1989. I have traveled all over the world and would not trade this for anything! La Jolla truly is a gem that fortunately is still somewhat untouched from masses of tourists. The location, weather, and available activities are uncomparable world wide. The home is one of the older beach homes remaining in the area and is very well maintained with large yards, front and back. These homes unfortunately are disappearing in the area as older home are built out in condo style development. If you are looking for a little character and appreciate the privacy and space of a traditional yard , this is the house for you.
What makes this house unique
Again, La Jolla is unbeatable for location, weather and activities. Summer in La Jolla is like being on the French, Italian, or Spanish Riviera without the crowds! The house is older, well maintained, traditional , with privacy and large front and back yards. As with all houses, you avoid the congestion and risks of large hotel complexes in urban areas.

Great house, great location!
What a great house - it is hard to add to the many compliments already made by other visitors. The house is spacious, well equipped, and well located as it is highly walkable to wonderful beaches, nearby restaurants and shops and to the village center - and a short drive to the airport, Coronado Island, Balboa Park and many other sites. We have rented over 20 vacation homes over the years and highly recommend this one as a great value. The icing on the cake is having Barbie, your host in the adjoining lot - she is welcoming and helpful and truly adds to your enjoyment of the house and area. Thanks!
Cozy house in a great La Jolla location
We (family with two young kids) spent 9 nights at this property in October, 2016 and we loved it. This 3-bedroom house had the perfect floor plan for us, but it will definitely work for multiple couples sharing the house as well. The house was very well kept, very clean and had a lot of charm. The owner must have travelled the world since he decorated the house with painting and drawings from all over the world. The house is only a few blocks from the beautiful Wind and Sea beach which is a hidden gem with the most beautiful sunsets. You are also super close to the Village and quickly in Pacific and Mission Beach. Our boys loved to wake up and play in the pretty backyard which is really a bonus in such a central location. The property manager Barbie is always available and very helpful. The house had everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen, beach toys, beach chairs, umbrella, etc. The only thing we missed was travel bed for babies but Barbie was very helpful and recommended places that rent out baby equipment, and that's what we did. Bottom line, we had a great experience and we would highly recommend the house to other young families or couples or whoever wants to visit San Diego. La Jolla is fantastic and I would certainly stay in La Jolla and in this house again.
Relaxing and beautiful home
We stayed here for 2 weeks and loved every minute! The home is very comfortable and furnished nicely. Enjoyed the beautiful cool air and low humidity of S Cal. Many good restaurants nearby. Beautiful beach 2 blocks away with breath taking views. Nice staying in a roomy home with yard for our little dog. Very clean and well maintained. Barbie the property manager is very friendly and helpful in every way. Our dogs became girlfriends! Visited many places in San Diego, but loved the beach the most! Planning to visit next year.
Perfect and peaceful
This vacation rental was everything, and more! It actually looks even better than in the pics. It is spotlessly clean, well-stocked, and every comfort has bee thought of! If you need something...ask Barbie...you'll have it in a flash! We are dog lovers, so it was so great to have a dog friendly place, and sweet Blondie on property! Location is great...walking distance to beach, long walks, and downtown shopping and restaurants.
Will be back for sure!!
Great family vacation spot!
My family and I stayed here in July 2016. Our party included four adults and two kids (ages 4 & 8) and the house was the perfect size for us.
House: It was exactly as pictured/described. Very clean and well-stocked. Only downside was a very small TV in the main living room (we like to watch movies at night) but who really "needs" TV on vacation! The property manager is accessible but discreet. After the check in, she is available as your request. She lives just behind the property and our kids had a great time inviting her dog over to play ball in the backyard. The backyard has great shade and space for relaxing or grilling.
Beach: Very close proximity to Windansea Beach, which is a great place for laying out and watching the surfers. It is not ideal for small kids, but the house is also an easy drive over to La Jolla Shores which was a perfect beach for kids, shallow, calm water and a great playground. The house provides everything you need for beach going: towels, chairs, umbrellas.
Sightseeing: La Jolla is a great place to center yourself for sightseeing. It is an easy drive to all of the San Diego spots. We found ourselves in the light traffic direction wherever we went. La Jolla itself has lots to do and see as well.
Restaurants: the house is walking distance from several great restaurants. Try the Promiscuous Fork! Other favorites in La Jolla are the Taco Stand, La Jolla Pizza, and El Pescador.
We would absolutely stay at this location again and hope to return in the near future!
Excellent
Perfect!
