Ocean views abound from this well appointed yet casual beach house property, just steps from the sand.

A perfect place to relax and enjoy family and friends (and occasionally dolphins).

Step out the door, cross the only street between you and the Pacific, and your toes will be delivered to the sand.

Relax in this single story home that’s perfect for 2 or 3 families. The home features dual master bedrooms. One master has ocean views, the other has a tranquil view of the spa and garden. Each master has a King sized bed. One master has rain-head shower + separate tub. Other master has shower.

A kids room with bunked beds (one twin over one full) and en-suite tub/shower bathroom are on the opposite side of the main house from the masters.

The third King bed is in a detached ocean view “cottage” which has a bathroom with a shower.

Also detached is a large fifth bedroom. This room contains a king bed, it's own tv, and couch. The space is ample enough to open up the queen floor matrress for an additional sleeping accommodations.

The floor plan is open with vaulted ceilings and tiled floors for easy beach living.

The kitchen was remodeled in 2012 with a granite countertop space to seat 7. The 8 foot dining table seats another 8-10. Place settings for 16 are provided. It’s a perfect home to gather friends or family for summer, holidays, vacations, or days ending in 'y'.

The large spa can be used cool, to refresh, or you can heat it and use the jets to warm up and relax after a day at the beach.

All bedding is all 100% cotton. Many 500 thread count or Ralph Lauren sheets and covers. Down comforters & pillows for all King beds (down alternative available upon request).

The living area is a great space to get cozy and catch up with family or friends while playing games, or watching a movie.

The garage has a washer/drier and space for 1 car.

Wonderful, well-equipped house in an amazing location

The home is in a phenomenal location as it's across from La Jolla Shores and has plenty of parking. The house itself is open allowing a beautiful view, but also comfortable with cozy places to sit and a working fireplace. It has all the comforts of home and then some. It's a really wonderful place to spend a family vacation.

Outstanding!

The first thing is that the photos of the Dolphin Watch Beach House have not been taken with those special realtor cameras. It really is as light and spacious as it looks. Also the location is as splendid – no horrors just out of shot! There is just a quiet road and a broad green between you and the sea. Lifeguards on duty. Good waves for surfing even for complete amateurs. Up the road in walking distance, is a very nice little selection of surfy shops and fun restaurants including a terrific sushi place and excellent breakfast spots. At the property, the rooms are generous and, special secret for grandparents, there is a separate double room with ensuite, ideal for grandparents who don't want to wake up at 6 am every morning with the little darlings! You have to go outside to access it. We called it the ‘scout-hut’! Also the hot-tub in the yard became a great favourite for an and of the day wind-down with the kids. But as a regular Home renter, it's the other touches that really distinguish Dolphin Watch.. The first is the owner, Cristine Gatto. She came to welcome us personally, bringing a huge bunch of fresh flowers which she arranged for us. Throughout the booking, and indeed throughout our stay, she was always available, responding quickly and graciously to countless ‘and another thing’ queries. The other is the quality of the place. Unlike most rentals, the furniture is modern, knives are sharp, the glasses match (the cupboards contain a huge variety for your margaritas and martinis as well as wines) and the place is not full of the crappy ornaments the owner doesn't want in their own home any more. There are no appliances with ‘Do not Use’ signs on them. Regular home renters will know what I mean! Everything in San Diego appears to be 20 minutes away! It's a great place for a vacation, and for the right size of group, - we were 4 adults, three kids- Dolphin Watch is a really great option. Just don't book it when we want to go back!

5 Stars! Absolutely Perfect

This home is exactly as it is described in the listing. The property manager was VERY communicative and provided detailed check in/check out instructions. We found the home in perfect condition... very clean, fully equipped (lots of beach chairs/toys/towels) and the location could not be beat! It is literally right across the street from La Jolla Shores park and beach. We stayed for the weekend for our daughter's wedding and it could not have been more comfortable for our extended family. It had everything we needed and two wonderful outside patios to take in the fresh air. The property manager, Ian, was beyond friendly and helpful! We cannot recommend this home high enough.

Welcome home sailor

Our family (10 adults) welcomed home from deployment our grandson. The house was fab! We rented a golf cart from LaJolla golf carts. It was street legal and gave us many opportunities to look around the neighborhood visit the shops eat lunch etc. The house however, had the greatest kitchen. Our family loves to cook and did we ever. The grill and hot tub were family favs. The host was great to us, made it very easy to access we had two older guests that used scooters. The neighborhood is the best. Park across the street was busy on weekends with people enjoying themselves. Lots to see. The ocean was up so the surfers were out. One of our older guests got ill and had to go to the Scripps hospital but was professionally treated and sent on their way quickly. We had the best time. While the room layout was not typical, it didn't intefere with us. There is so much to this house that was great. The washers and dryer,the toys in the garage, the icemaker, the parking off street. I can't say enough. Thanks Ian, we'd do it again.

Wonderful location across the street from beautiful LaJolla Beach. The family enjoyed coming back from the beach to a large in-ground private hot tub. Five comfortable bedrooms and four bathrooms made the space perfect for our large family. We loved our time here.

Excellent Location

The house easily accommodated our family of four adults and one newborn. The location is perfect for access to the beach across the street and short walks to coffee shops and restaurants. Downtown La Jolla is a quick drive for more shopping, restaurants, and grocery stores. The owner/property manager is very responsive and helpful if you need him.

Christmas family vacation

What a great location. Slept 8 adults and 4 babies comfortably. Could watch the surf right from the living room. Two of the bedroom spaces are detached—make sure you see the layout to understand where people will sleep. Bathroom arrangements are tricky. But, for a family with 4 adult couples and four littles, the location and the size/layout was great. Communication with the host was excellent. Easy check-in and check-out. Well-equipped. Even provided high chairs and strollers and beach wagons, kayaks, laundry machines, beach toys and chairs. Great rental!

Family reunion in La Jolla - great times !

We stayed a week at the VRBO in La Jolla. We were there for our parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. There were 12 people of all ages staying at the house. The hot tub was our favorite. Especially after coming in from the beach which is right across the street!

A FANTASTIC BEACH HOUSE!!

The house was absolutely perfect for our family of our 3 kids and their spouses and 5 grandkids! Only a beautiful park was between the house and the spectacular beach. The house had beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, shovels and pails for our two 4 year old twin granddaughters - everything we could imagine for the beach. Surfing lessons were available from the beach almost right in front of our house! Nothing was missing which gave all of us the most perfect vacation!!

This lovely house couldn't be in a better location for our family vacation. We were just across the street from the beach and walking distance to restaurants and playground making coming and going so easy with small children. Everything was provided from beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, beach toys, towels, and crib. There was room for extra parking in the driveway when we had visitors one day. A real plus in La Jolla. We were very appreciative of our house manager Ian who was very responsive to all our requests.
