This charming two-story cottage is just a short walk from La Jolla village's iconic shopping and dining. Even though you'll be a short walk to the ocean's edge and only about a 15-minute walk to downtown La Jolla - where you can find some great shopping options and eateries - make sure to bring your car because you'll want to check out all the popular sights of La Jolla and nearby San Diego. A 20-minute drive will take you to the world-famous San Diego Zoo, and Sea World is even closer!

The first floor has a newly renovated kitchen with granite counters and a gas range. The bedroom with a queen-sized bed and updated bathroom are also on the main level. The second story has the living area and the walk-out patio which has great neighborhood views. There are air conditioning units in the living room and bedroom.

Short stay

We’d originally planned to stay eight days, but left early due to a family emergency. That being said, we would have left early anyway. Not to be harsh, but the bedroom/ kitchen space were extremely small. My husband is 6’4” and 230 lbs. I’m small, but even so the bedroom was extreme small. We had to keep switching our luggage from unit to car to save space.

This is a reasonably comfortable place for a short stay in La Jolla. It is in an ideal location - a short distance from the ocean, restaurants, and shops, but on a quiet back-lane. The bed is comfortable, and the upstairs sitting dining area is pleasant. The place is managed by Vacasa, which provided the absolute, absolute bare minimum.

Good, Cheap Stay in La Jolla

Relative to the other places in La Jolla, this was a good place to set as a home base for a mid-length vacation. It's very close to the "downtown" area of La Jolla cove, and is a block away from a bus stop that can take you to the UCSD area, and to Downtown San Diego. I had no issues with the management staff itself, and everything went smoothly. But, the place is definitely missing a lot of elements that I think most rentals should have. The oven didn't work when we got there, the bathroom fan didn't function, and there was no central heating (though this is only an issue in the dead of winter in SD). It would have been nice to have a few more utensils like a pizza cutter, and maybe some free coffee in the pantry, and a couple more blankets for the pull-out couch upstairs. But overall, relative to the price of other units in the area, it's a good pick if you'll be out of the house for most of your stay.

Great Little Place

We enjoyed our short stay! The only thing I would change is the rug in the kitchen which is an outdoor rug. We felt safe staying here. The parking spot was great and I appreciated the lock on the fence and front door. We loved how close the grocery store was and the places to eat; we could have walked. I recommend the Taco Stand and Bernini's Bistro so delicious. We would stay here again. Thank you

Awesome Stay!

Great place! Clean, tidy, nice location, awesome parking space, and deck off the living room. Perfect for a couple (bedroom’s bed is sooo comfy)….and a plus one if you’re close to them/family. It’s a super comfy couch and it’s on a separate level. My only recommendation (as a suitcase traveler) is to have an iron in the unit. There’s an ironing board but no iron😞 That’s all I will definitely be back!!!!
