Everything was wonderful. More than enough sleeping space for my family. We came to San Diego to visit our Navy son. We all enjoyed the home and would absolutely stay at the same location.Beds were comfy, kitchen was nice and full. The location of the house was perfect for any kind of activity in San Diego.La Jolla is very safe and friendly. Everyone was nice. Plenty of towels. Amenities well supplied. Hot showers.Highly recommend.

Cute, Convenient and Centrally Located

Great price for our budget. Parking is in a driveway, not on the road, which was nice. Home had plenty of beds for my husband and I and our three teens. Tons of extra bedding and towels. Kitchen has room to cook simple meals and it was nice to have two bathrooms. There is even a foot wash and small shower head outside to rinse off after going to the beach. It was comfortable and just what we needed! We were within 15-30 minutes of everything we wanted to see in the San Diego Area.

The home was in a great neighborhood and close to the beach and the kitchen was fully equipped. We didn't cook there, the house was very clean on the inside. The accommodations stated a washer and dryer but they were behind closed locked doors and when we inquired we were told this wasn't for renters but for cleaning crew. We didn't realize they were for the community living there. We had the french doors open to have the air circulate and right there was a tenant getting his laundry he left behind and locked up the doors. We had just came off a cruise and thought were were going to be able to do laundry we had bought soap and softner. We had one parking space in the driveway which was next to 3 very full and smelly garbage cans. The grill is not a gas grill but a wood grill which was also next to garbage. Signs were hung up everywhere which stated if we had questions to call Scott which we did and did not have a good experience. We were not able to sit outside because the furniture did not look stable and had spider webs everywhere. When we left on sunday we received a text message about our inquiry on the washer and dryers we sent on friday and the messed received said the washer was broker.

Appropriately sized. All went well. The family living upstairs was loud at times, but we weren't there all that much. Overall pretty good.

Extended stay

Stayed for the month of September. My host was extremely helpful and accommodating and showed great concern for my welfare. He is justifiably proud of this beautiful guesthouse and addressed any questions I had very promptly and efficiently. The rooms were clean and very well kept, and there is a beautiful private patio and new kitchen. The location is excellent. Recommended for a shorter or longer stay.

Amazing Atmosphere and Great Outdoor Fireplace!

We traveled to La Jolla for a wedding and stayed in Scott's guesthouse. It was an amzingly clean and quiet environment with a great outdoor fireplace and grill that we used almost every night and shared many laughs with relatives. It was very close to shopping and dining and only minutes away by car to Prospect Blvd. Scott was a great host and was able to answer all of our questions, he even brought back local fruits from the Farmers Market to our home away from home! I would highly reccomend this place for anyone wanting to get away and relax and enjoy what La Jolla and the San Diego areas have to offer.

Great spot and even better host

We had this spot as our base for a week in San Diego. It was ideally located for all the kids attractions. There is also grocery stores, pharmacy etc in few mins distance making it a ideal spot for traveling family. The host is very communicative and the entire checkin / checkout was smooth without any contact. However, the best bit happened after our stay. We realized mid way on our way back that we have forgotten a phone. Scott had already tried to contact about the phone and then went out of his way to return it. I would whole heartedly recommend this spot to anyone.

There were things about this stay I wish I would have known ahead of time as it would have made me decide to not stay there. 1. Parking is difficult- street is narrow and on a hill. With cars parked on the street, there was no space to park upon arrival and drove up/down the street several times. When I was parked as close as I could get- I was yelled at by a guy in a truck leaving that spot. Later in the trip the spot stayed open.2. NO A/C- being a single female, did not feel safe leaving windows open with people walking past it to go to their lodgings. Fans were available but it was hot. 3. They were not ready for our stay when we got there so I felt like I was in a sense trespassing with them gathering towels, toys laying about the patio area.4. Families live above you so it can be noisy at times especially if windows are open. It was very clean and had plenty of bedding, beds, towels etc so that was nice. It is a good area to stay in.

Small but adequate for our needs. Price was good and it has two bathrooms. Amenities listed washer and dryer, but while we were there and needed to wash clothes, host said they are broken. I didn't even see a washer or dryer. Perhaps they are behind the locked doors on patio? It was hot (Aug 29 - Sept 1). There are fans, but owner should invest in the good quality, heavy duty fans that really circulate air flow, not box fans. Description of property didn't mention a sleeper sofa. That would've been nice to know and saved us from bringing an air mattress. Fly swatters are needed. Parking is right next to smelly garbage cans and flies.I've listed a lot of negatives, but it's overall a nice little place that will meet the needs of a family vacationing in San Diego. Biggest plus is having two bathrooms.

We were upset as the listing said there would be a washer and dryer for us. They were both broken when we got there and the owner kept promising they would get fixed during our stay. We stayed for 5 nights and they never ended up getting fixed during our stay. We were 6 people and didn't want to travel home, across the country, with a bunch of dirty clothes so we had to miss a day of site seeing to go to a laundromat. We asked the owner for 10 per day refund to make up for the cost of the laundromat and inconvenience. The total refund we asked for for was only 50. The owner refused to accommodate this request and instead said the highest refund he would comit to was 20 total. To toop it all off the owner never ever refunded us the 20 he said he would give us. We have now been home for 3 weeks and 20 was never put back on our card.

Cozy little cottage

Location is pretty good. Unit above us was pretty noisy. Bed was comfy but the futon not so much. You could sleep 9-10 people but the bathrooms are very small. Kitchen is nice small but it was perfect size for the three of us. We were surprised to find centipedes in the kitchen sink every morning as well as a few spiders in the bathroom, so if you don’t mind a few bugs. There’s no a/c just a couple of fans. Needs a little work but overall pretty cute little place.

We had a great stay overall! The unit was, comfortable, and in a convenient location. The hosts were responsive and easy to communicate with, which made the experience smooth from check-in to check-out. While we really enjoyed our time here, we did notice that the unit could benefit from some updates to make it even better. That said, it still served us well for our trip, and we appreciated the hospitality

Not for me

This place was not for me. It just wasn’t comfortable. Mirrors on most walls, I do not understand why people insist on doing this. Bedroom, living rooms, kitchen. No air ventilation or AC except box fans. Bathmat was still wet and several hanging towels from previous guests were hung, there were plenty of other clean towels at least. Some house centapeds crawling around. Multiple doors and locks randomly, I think this is a converted garage and the lower level of a house. For me personally I paid approx 290 a night including all fees and I would be happier paying a bit more for a hotel. Tried to communicate with owner about their opinion on something, no answer back. Left a message to say I checked out, no response. Location is nice, enough to walk to some little shops and coffee, can also walk to viewpoint of ocean.
