About this property
“Blue Door Cottage by the Sea,” La Jolla Village & Cove, Only 4 blocks to Beach
Thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between stays with contactless check-in. Come escape to magical La Jolla. Perfect for a safe, private family getaway, gathering with dear friends or road trip destination! La Jolla, a place known as one of the most beautiful cities in Southern California. Don't miss the opportunity to stay at the beautiful and unique "Blue Door Cottage." Short-Term Residential Occupancy License: STR-02498L.
Within minutes to the quintessential seaside village known as the "Jewel." The Cottage is close to all major attractions: La Jolla Cove (a world-renowned diving site), the famous children's pool (spot sea lions and seals playing in the water), breath-taking views, miles of beaches, Torrey Pines State Natural reserve, award-winning culinary, and art galleries. The blue door cottage has so much to offer - beautiful art throughout, spacious living room with oversized sofas to relax and rest after a long day of sightseeing, and a large indoor and outdoor dining table (seats 8) to entertain family and friends. Full kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Two secluded outdoor patios with outdoor dining space and lounge chairs to enjoy your morning coffee out in the sunshine. Don’t miss the opportunity to stay at the beautiful, unique “Blue Door Cottage.” A lifetime of memories will be created by staying at this cottage.
Washer and dryer are in the garage, along with boogie boards, a beach umbrella, beach chairs and a cooler. There is a parking space in the driveway on the west side of the house, and plenty of street parking, but you really don't need a car here - the village and all it has to offer is just steps away.
This Cottage is located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood, so please be respectful of the surrounding neighbors. Due to the moderate coastal climate, this house, like the majority of other in the neighborhood, does not have AC.
Thorough deep cleaning and sanitizing between guests and contactless check-in. Perfect for a road trip destination or family getaway!

I'm here to ensure you see the best of La Jolla and really enjoy having a home in the heart of the Village. I'm happy to be as involved as you would like - check you in or conduct a quick tour of the town - or lay low and let you read from our insightful guide complete with maps, a walking guide, and the best bars and restaurants for happy hour and eating. Remember, I'm practically next door if you need anything, anytime.
