About this property

Iconic Landmark House Unit next to the beach- Panoramic Ocean/Coastal Views!

An ocean front landmark house designed by a famous designer, remodeling recently. The windows, and floors are replaced last month. Next to the attraction of La Jolla cove. Walking distance to restaurants, museum, beaches, galleries and stores in La Jolla village. It is the best location in La Jolla. A historical house with many upgrads. If you are looking for best location, convenience , and oceanfront , here is the place for you.

This house is divided into two units with its own entrance and privacy. The two units are totally independent except sharing the laundry and garage as well as air condition temp controller. The garage can fit a SUV or Stand car for each unit. Both can reserved for the same period of time if available. Good for family reunion and wedding. The upstair unit 2 ID is VRBO 2786466. If you want to rent whole house , you need to booking both units.
We have added soundproof material and redone the floor on the upstairs unit to reduce the noise from upper level.
Both units share the same laundry with one washer and two dryers.
No party unless other unit is vacant.
It is by the ocean, you smell ocean and hear the sounds of waves. It is not perfect as luxury five star hotel rooms but you can cook and BBQ with the view of ocean.

This unit (unit 1) is downstairs part of the house with exclusive use of the main entrance, sharing the garage, the laundry and the backyard with upper stair unit.
This unit consists of a living room, a kitchen, a dining room, a larger master bedroom (bedroom 1) with a king bed with its own full bath, a bedroom (bedroom 2) with a queen bed, and a smaller bedroom (bedroom 3)with two single beds for kids and a three quarter bathroom.
The master bedroom (bedroom 1) comes with a den equipped with a futon sofa bed, full size bathroom and a large deck with BBQ stove of ocean and coast view.
Bedroom 2 with ocean view comes with a balcony of ocean view.
The small size bedroom 3 has two single beds for kids with view of the side yard.
In living room, there is a futon bed.

Fabulous location and wonderful stay
We loved our stay in this fabulous location right along the water. The comfortable three bedrooms (one small) worked well for our group of five. We enjoyed making coffee in the kitchen, sitting inside or at the round outdoor table, and looking out over the ocean. It was also a great place to walk to La Jolla Cove, shops and restaurants downtown or other locations along the water. Really a wonderful place

The house was in a beautiful location! Can't beat the walkability and the view! Plenty of room for our family. The owner was very prompt at responding to messages! Like other reviews mentioned, the garage was small but it does fit a small crossover SVU (probably not a van or any 3 row car...).

We enjoyed a weekend stay at this beautiful home. It was peaceful. The ocean views from all of the balconies are just amazing. The sounds of the waves crashing at night were like a natural soundscape. And you get the most beautiful sunset over the ocean views from the master bedroom patios. We had all the privacy we needed with quick access to all the shops we needed. Just amazing.

Awesome View
View from the house overlooking the ocean is very nice. Every room has an ocean view. The owner is very nice and prompt with answering our inquiries and requests. Since there was nobody checked in prior to our dates, Simon (owner) let us check in as early as 10 am. My wife and her friends enjoyed staying at the patio and just enjoying the view. I highly recommend this place, either to celebrate a special occasion or just wanting to relax.

A permanent fixture on the La Jolla Historical Society's "Gems of the Jewel" acclaimed walking tour, the house has a long and prosperous history in the area.

Coined the "Lampshade House", due to the property's distinctive and one-of-a-kind design, the home is a trinity of cottages (Beach, English, and Craftsman) combined in an eclectic manner and constructed along the gorgeous Whale View Point with panoramic ocean and coastal views. Located steps north of the La Jolla Tide Pools and a short walk south from Seal Rock, this home has an exclusive location directly in the heart of the city.

Next, the second level contains a spectacular master bedroom. The second octagonal-style room in the property, it features a stunning lofted ceiling design, accentuated with another beautiful chandelier, much like the living room. Panoramic views, again, surround the second level, which also features a master bathroom with a luxurious tub and walk-in shower, a large outdoor patio off the bathroom, an oceanfront balcony patio, an office, and a kitchenette.

Finally, an attached garage offers parking for two regular vehicles or SUV. Not fit truck.
