Quick responses from the host! Great location, quiet neighborhood. Will book again! One thing to note is the garage size. My '23 Durango did not fit completely into the garage by about 4 inches. Anything smaller should be just fine!

Quiet and cozy. Two minute walking distance to surf shops and local restaurants. Five minute walk to beach. Also a two minute walk to the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club where we were playing a tennis tournament. It was a perfect spot for us!

Great location, comfortable. Met our needs perfectly. Only concern was parking. It's tight access so if you have a larger car (we do) it's a bit of a challenge. The overall experience was great and it being walking distance to the beach and bars and restaurants was very nice.

We loved this property and the proximity to La Jolla Shores beach! The place was spacious, clean, and beautiful. We loved the secluded yard and outdoor picnic table.
