About this property

Special Offer, book three days and get four days! Offer good thru May 1.

This is one truly adorable guest home that you will not want to miss. It is a block away from the breathtaking beach. Perfectly located 1/2 a mile between the famous Wind n Sea Beach and La Jolla Cove. Come park your car and never have to get back in it! Conveniently located on the Bike Path, great for walks or jogging. A short 1/2 mile from Village for shopping, restaurants, coffee shops and grocery stores. The home has been completely remodeled, flat screen TV in the living area and bedroom, a queen size Tempur-Pedic bed, bamboo wood floors in the kitchen and living space, out door heated shower to wash off at when coming back from the beach, washer and dryer and private entrance...No expense was spared. If you want to experience La Jolla this is the place for you.

This is my 2nd time staying at John and Katie’s adorable cottage. The location is amazing just steps from the beach and the most beautiful sunsets. John greets you and is the most welcoming kind host. The neighborhood is quiet yet walkable to everything you need. And the cottage is adorable, comfortable with everything you need to make dinner and stay in, relax outside on the patio or go for a walk and enjoy everything La Jolla has to offer.

Beautiful getaway in prime location!

We loved our stay in La Jolla! The guesthouse was clean, cool, and on a quiet street just a few houses down from the beach. Our only (very minor!) complaint was that the bedroom was sometimes bright in the morning since some of the windows/doors didn’t have blinds. However, we are early risers and were eager to get up and explore La Jolla anyways :) The house was equipped with everything you might need (beach chairs, beach towels, bottle openers, etc.!) John was an incredibly gracious host and was easy to communicate with. We will most certainly be back!
