THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY
It's an amazing location where you can park and walk anywhere.
It is very affordable for a seaside cottage in this area - perfect for small families or a romantic getaway for one or two couples.

THINGS TO KNOW
The house sits on a narrow lane, up several stairs, so accessing the house requires being able to walk about half a city block uphill if you are coming from the beach, downhill if you are coming from town.
This does not have a full size refrigerator, just an under-the-counter one. Also there is no outdoor seating, so you may wish to enjoy some of your meals in the village.
This vacation rental is not equipped with air-conditioning.
No smoking is allowed inside any of our properties.
Parking is in a public parking lot a block away. A parking pass is included for 1 vehicle in each unit. Street parking is very limited.
Due to the moderate coastal climate, this house (like most in the area) does not have air conditioning.
This home is located in a quiet neighborhood and is only suitable for quieter groups. Our rental agreement includes a no tolerance policy regarding excessive noise, occupancy and/or parties. Deposit forfeitures and/or evictions are strictly enforced. Please make sure you are comfortable with these policies before renting with Vacasa Seasonals, Inc.
Please note: reservations for this home will not be refunded if cancelled within 60 days of arrival.

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 1 vehicle.

(A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out.

Great location!
If you want to be by the beach and the restaurants this is the perfect spot. The accommodation was sufficient. An older beach bungalow that was a little brown beaten and no coffee pods for the machine:(

Great location
The location was excellent. The condo is dated with a number of deferred maintenance issues. The advertised pictures do not accurately represent the inside of the condo, it appears they may have been taken a while ago. The condo needs a major update . We brought a number of issues about the condo to Vacasa and were told they would look into the concerns, but never heard any kind of resolution to our concerns.

Great location, easy parking, and perfect space and amenities for my husband and myself for a few days. The price was unbeatable. Staff was very prompt and helpful when contacted upon arrival for door code troubleshooting. We’ll definitely stay here again on future visits!

If I. Okie give 0 that would be a better
The ceiling collapsed we had to move middle of the night. Vacasa who listed the property on vrbo was horrible to deal with no one cares or contacted us. The plaster from ceiling fell on my sleeping children they were very traumatized and not to mention to have to find a place at 1am middle of the night. Still waiting for a call back nothing called then yesterday again nothing no update. Save yourself never ever book places through third party management company

Overall this cottage looks like an afterthought. Knitted (or crocheted) pillows were old with long black hairs. We didnt use them. Bed linens clean, great towels. Cottage is cluttered and really needs some love. Bathroom ceiling (directly over the toilet) has a large crack that leaves dusty dark particles all over the tank cover no matter how often I cleaned the tank top. I wouldn't leave anything on the bathroom counter. Wi Fi was spotty. Despite this review we would stay here again because the location couldn't be beat, nor the price. We weren't visiting La Jolla to sit in our VRBO!

We had a great time and the location is perfect. The only problem was extremely poor tv and internet or wifi. To the point it’s almost unusable.

We liked staying here. It was a little tight with 2 adults and a child but the location makes up for that. Walking to the beach, shops and food is perfect.

Location was great, but the property needs work.
The place is full of old1930 stuff . The cabinets in the dinning room smelled musty. The sofas were covered because they were so soiled. The closet in bedroom was stuffed with things, so I had trouble reaching the towels.

Great holiday weekend in La Jolla
Great location to access LJ Cove, beachfront, downtown shops, restaurants and activities. Parking spot helpful. Small but quaint, bedroom worked well for my wife and I. Our college son used the pull out couch.

Cute little cottage close to everything in La Jolla. Easy walks to the Cove, Windnsea, and all the restaurants and shopping in between. There is only a mini fridge, so you have to get creative to have ice.

Beautiful location, nice stay
The location was amazing! One block from the most beautiful ocean views. Clean, cozy and comfortable. If your at corner of coast and ocean streets turn and look away from ocean street….towards the houses and slightly to the left….you’ll see the staircase that leads up. (Was a little tricky to find as smash burger is no longer there for reference)

The good and the bad.,
I stayed at this small casita and while my overall experience was very good, there were some issues which require a bit of work. The bathroom cabinet smelled of mildew, and the sink drained extremely slow; plus, it partially blocked the only outlet in the bathroom. To solve this we ran an extension cord from kitchen to bathroom. The bed sheets consisted of two top sheets, and as a result, the bottom was too short to tuck under the mattress, so by morning you woke up resting on the mattress cover. Some of couch pillow were very ratty and should be replaced. The kitchen was much better than the bathroom, but it could use an update; but, the small kitchen closet had a large vacuum cleaner, which stunk. I put it outside with a plastic bag over it. I used a simply dust mop and rag to wipe floors during my three week stay-arguably healthy for our lungs than that vacuum. Happily, the outside washer/dryer worked well, and was more up to date. The couch covers looked a bit aged, and I felt they needed to be washed. I loved the location, that was perfect and rental process went well, too. In summary, I feel that just a bit of money and thought would make a big difference.

Failed to provide inhabitable housing
We arrived 3 hours after confirmed scheduled check in to a cottage with NO electricity, No heating with 50F inside!!! Things could break and thats understandable, BUT vacaso management was not able to provide us with time when things could be fixed and kept us in the cold rain outside for 4 hours with no alternatives offered until we decided to look for a nearby hotel!!? They knew about the problem few hours before our arrival and did not warn us ahead of time or attempted to fix it. Vacaso refused to get in touch with owners to locate the breakers and fix heating. Very disappointing. I would not use this managing company if I were trying to rent my place out. ... could have been a great experience taken vacaso and vrbo out of equation....
