Oceanfront Landmark House downstair next to the beach Panoramic Ocean Views!
An La Jolla village oceanfront landmark home downstair designed by a renowned architect, recently remodeled with upgraded windows and new flooring (May 2025). Ideally located next to the iconic La Jolla Cove, this rent only downstair part is just steps from restaurants, museums, beaches, galleries, and shops in La Jolla Village—arguably the best location in La Jolla.
This unique property is divided into two fully independent parts, each with its own entrance and privacy. The only shared spaces are the garage, laundry room (with one washer and two dryers), and central A/C control. Each part has one garage space suitable for a standard vehicle or SUV. Both can be booked together—perfect for family reunions or small weddings. The upstairs unit (Unit 2) can be found under VRBO ID: 2786466.
To reduce noise, soundproofing materials and new flooring have been added to the upstairs unit. Please note: parties are not allowed unless upper stair is vacant.
Since this is an older oceanfront house , it may have ocean smell. When you open the window, smell will gone. It is landmark house, but sound approve is not that great, you may hear the upper stair noise and laundry noise.
Due to the ocean braze, the patios may not be cleaned as you expected even we clean it.
Being right on the ocean, you’ll enjoy fresh sea air and the soothing sound of waves. This isn’t a luxury five-star hotel, but you can cook, grill, and dine with stunning ocean views—an experience hotels can’t match.
