About this property

Beach Property at Beautiful Sunset

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.

The cottage was perfect for the two of us. John explained everything on arrival, and said we were welcome to use the well-stocked fridge and cupboards (coffee, wine, condiments and more!). We had decided to Uber places rather than rent a car and this turned out to be a good idea as I wouldn't have liked to deal with parking in La Jolla or San Diego. It was an easy walk into La Jolla for restaurants and the farmer's market, and down to the nearby beaches. Watching sunsets from the deck every evening was a treat.

We absolutely loved our stay and thankful to be so close to the beach! Literally a 2 minute walk for toes in the sand. We parked our Jeep and were able to walk the entire town the whole time we were there. The guest house was very clean and well appointed with everything we needed to make meals when we didn’t feel like going out. WiFi worked great and the house was clean as could be.

John’s beach house in La Jolla is probably the best rental house I’ve ever stayed in. It’s beautiful and equipped with everything you need for your stay. The views from the front porch are phenomenal, and the beach is just steps away. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and I was able to walk everywhere as I was traveling without a car. I hope to come back again in the future!

There have been few times when I've hesitated to write a review -- ONLY because I want to keep this GEM to myself (so as to have it avail anytime I desire).That would be extremely, utterly, ridiculously selfish! BECAUSE everything about this cottage was so perfect that others should be given the opportunity to share in the JOY!The location is FABULOUS. 3 minute walk into the village and 3 minute walk to the #30 bus. Even faster to the beach! (The bus, BTW, is SIMPLE AND CHEAP!!! Airport to La Jolla was 2.50).BUT, without question, the cottage is EVERYTHING and MORE than anticipated. J&K have provided everything I needed for a one week stay. (I didn't use them, but even the most luxurious bathrobes.)The kitchen is very well appointed. All requisite beach equipment (didn't use but next time).The washer/dryer came in soo handy.Bed was incredibly comfortable.Truly, the only thing I needed was band-aids for the blisters after walking across almost every inch of La Jolla & San Diego. Train was also SIMPLE to Irvine! (Get a Gelato in Solana Beach and tell DEAR, KIND Alex that "The Penny Lady" said hello. Excellent Gelato directly across from the train station!)TRULY, you can't find a better set of hosts or a place to lay your head in a little slice of heaven on earth!
