Such a great trip! The location is ideal. Walking distance to the beach and more than enough restaurants. The home was great for family time in so many different ways. Communication with Todd was always so quick and efficient. Can’t wait to come back!
The cottage is so great. Location is perfect for young kids access to La Jolla shores, had a blast in the pool as well. Parking on site was easy. We will be back.
We stayed at Dove Cottage for 3 weeks and we were very happy there. Great location, lots of space and the lap pool was a plus. Cheryl was great to work with and the property was as advertised. We will stay there next time we visit La Jolla.

Thank you for your wonderful review! You and your family are delightful and 5 star guests. Come back to the beach soon, we would enjoy hosting you again!
Our family of 7 had a wonderful trip to La Jolla Shores. The home is cleverly laid out to give everyone their own space. The pool, while not huge, was a great addition for the kids. The location couldn’t be better, steps from the park and beach. The owner was easy to interact with and helped with questions throughout our stay. Overall, a great house in the perfect location.
We had a wonderful time in La Jolla shores. We loved the home which was so comfortable, had everything we needed, and located in a perfect location just steps away from the beach, restaurants, shops, etc. My sons really enjoyed the pool. We hope to be back in the future!
We had a great time and experience! The property was perfect for a spring break for our family of 5. Property manager was fantastic, responsive and provided all the information we needed. The home itself was perfect. Everything we needed to enjoy our time at the beach and beyond was provided. Highly recommend booking this property if you are looking for a clean, cozy, and stunning location for a La Jolla beach stay.
Thanks for hosting us. We had a wonderful time. The home was very comfortable, clean and great to be so close to the beach, shops and restaurants. The beach chairs, boogie boards and sand toys were a great touch and made our trips to the beach very comfortable. This home was truly the highlight of our trip.
Unbeatable location. Cottage has everything. Very cozy. Seamless experience. Very clean. Highly recommend. I was there with my teenage son but format is perfect for multi-generational families.
Perfect. I’d selfishly like to say something bad so we can continue visiting without worrying about others taking our week, but I can’t. It was perfect!!
Amazing stay in La Jolla for spring break with the family. Kids loved the beach and park. Perfect setup for kid boogie boarding. The location is near perfect, easy walking distance to great options for food, and the beach and park are basically in the backyard. Caretaker was responsive, professional and very helpful, we will be back!
This is such a well-loved property. We had great rapport and communication with Cheryl the manager. We loved how warm and cozy the decor was and over all feel of the house. We loved the pool at the end of a beach day and we enjoyed the pics of the family members who have also loved this sweet place. Might be our favorite and we've been coming every august for over 10 years. Thanks Cheryl and Dove Cottage! Kris and Family

Thank you Kris and family for your kind words. It is true that there have been many happy memories made here. We would be more than delighted to have you back at Dove Cottage. Thank you for being such wonderful guests!
This 3 story, fully self contained home is truly a 90 second walk to the park and La Jolla Shores beach. The very long lap pool is great to cool off in, and the walls and trees surrounding the yard feels and sounds very private. The home is roomy and welcoming. The 3rd floor room bed is best for one or two smaller people, the 18 year old loved having the deck available to lounge and watch sunsets from. Our thanks to Peter for being such an easy host to communicate with.

Disappointment
Amazing location and the property itself is pretty special. However, the place was not really clean, was completely cluttered with earlier renters' alcohol, food, etc., and was somewhat in disrepair. When we reached out to the property manager to explain that the oven wasn't working, we got nowhere. Overall, not what we expected at the price.
We were thrilled with our stay at the beautiful home. It had more than enough space for two families with kids and a perfect downstairs main bedroom and bathroom for our Mom who is having some mobility issues. The home had all the amenities we would need. My family and I had the third floor room and the view of the ocean was incredible! My sister and her family enjoyed the second floor with that amazing shower and 4 twin beds. The 1/2 bathroom downstairs was very convenient since we spent a lot of time in the living room enjoying the gas fireplace and comfortable furniture. We made many of our meals on the spacious and well appointed kitchen. We also enjoyed the outdoor barbeque and the pool was amazing!! Having two parking spaces at the property and the extremely short walk to the beach meant we were every day! The home was beautifully and comfortably furnished and made us feel right at home. We laughed together harder than we had in a long time sitting in the living room enjoying the fire. We will definitely be back in the future!

Amazing time in Dove Cottage
I rented this beautiful cottage for family our vacation in La Jolla Shores. When we walked in the gate of Dove Cottage my 4 kids (9 yrs, 7 yrs, 4 yrs, and 2yrs old) went crazy. The first thing they had us do was open the heated pool for a swim. The cottage had everything we needed. A well stock kitchen, so much space to spread out, toys and games, BBQ, towels and toys for the beach. The cottage is 2 blocks from the little strip of restaurants and shops on the days we didn't want to cook or drive to eat. It is also 2 blocks from Kellogg's Park and the beach which my 2 little ones called the beach park. From the minute we woke up we grab our coffee and took the kids to the park to get the day started. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and if/when we come back we hope that this cottage will be available to stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Todd
Dove cottage is owned by a family that loves to fish. Inside, you will find decades of fishing photos, many of which were taken right here in San Diego.
Why they chose this property
Dove Cottage was designed by renowned Architect, Dale Naegle, who's works are a large part of Southern California's History, especially in La Jolla Shores. It was built as a testament of Love from the Patriarch of the family, so that the gererations after could enjoy the beauty of the Shores.
What makes this property unique
Yard with heated lap pool and third story wrap around ocean view deck. One building removed from busy street and kitty corner from a beachfront hotel and around the corner from restaurants, rentals and activities. Truly a spectacular location. Great for a getaway or family vacation. A gem in La Jolla Shores!
