DESCRIPTION
Forget the rest, you`ve found the best! Very rare historic La Jolla Beach Cottage in an incredible location. Wonderful ocean views await and the beach is just steps away from this beautifully finished vacation home. The home is on Ocean Lane between Coast Boulevard and Prospect Street, right in the very heart of the Village of La Jolla.

Step inside this 1930`s era beach cottage lovingly restored and maintained for your enjoyment. Some of the highlights include hardwood flooring, wood ceilings with remote-controlled skylights that open for a sunroof effect. Bay windows offer peek ocean views from the living room, dining area, and guest suite. Off the guest suite is the bathroom with a shower. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the cookware, and dishes needed to prepare your favorite meals, along with plenty of counter space and a period-inspired Northstar refrigerator and Convection oven.

In the living room, there is a gas fireplace to warm the evenings along with a comfy couch where you can relax and watch your favorite shows, including HBO, on the flat-screen HDTV. Or if you`d like to spend a lazy day in bed, there`s a flat-screen in the master as well, but the ocean views may be too distracting!

LOCATION
Guests at Casa de las Olas can take a brief stroll down to the ocean and La Jolla Cove. Extraordinarily beautiful, La Jolla Cove is one of the most photographed shorelines in Southern California. Because it is a protected Ecological Reserve, marine wildlife abounds. featuring sea lions, dolphins and even whales during migrating seasons. Water visibility at the Cove can sometimes exceed 30 feet, making it a very popular spot for Scuba, snorkeling and kayaking. Just up the stairs is the lively Village shopping and dining district where you will find unique treasures and delicious ocean view restaurants.

We have 2 other adjacent cottages, B5298 and B5415 in the same location in case you have more in your group. Contact us for more details! We welcome you to experience all that La Jolla has to offer and be our guest at Casa de las Olas.

Great spot. La Jolla is awesome spot to chill and gateway to other activities. Walking in the morning to seagulls and sea lions in the distance was super peaceful. Ocean view as advertised from the living room. Would recommend.

Amazing location, great cottage
Location to the Cove and all Prospect and La Jolla Village shops sets this place apart from anywhere else in LJ or SD. Bluewater was very quick to respond to questions and concerns. Checkin/checkout was seamless, and the home itself is great for a couple or small family (3 or less). The space is tight in the bathroom, but this is what you get in La Jolla for the price and location. So no complaints there. Highly recommend, and will be coming back next time we vaca in LJ.

This property is adorable. The location fantastic. One block down to the cliffs and one block up to shopping and restaurants. My only complaint is that the bed is very hard and uncomfortable. We would definitely stay here again, but I’ll bring a mattress topper.

Deposit issue
The rental company added a large security deposit on the day of my arrival to access their cottage; this was not part of original rental agreement. While I made an immediate credit card payment, their return of my deposit took a better part of 10 days and several text before I received their credit. It’s a great location, but I doubt that I’ll use Bluewater rental again.

Perfect getaway for two with a view!
The cottage is in a perfect location close to the ocean and a few steep steps to the village. The kitchen is well stocked with supplies and appliances are excellent with an antique flair. The decor is warm wood tones with bay windows that show off the gorgeous view. The property manager quickly assisted us by correcting the address to the parking garage and we were all set. Air conditioned, cozy and quaint we found ourselves not wanting to leave. We look forward to staying here again.

Met our high expectations!
This beautiful place was exactly as described and all the great reviews we read before staying here turned out to be accurate. The location is perfect... you're a short walk from the beach with an ocean view and a short walk up the stairs in the opposite direction puts you in the middle of LaJolla with restaurants, shops, an art gallery, and a great beer brewery (Karl Strauss). The unit was very clean and comfortable... perfect for two people but may be tight for more than two. We rented a car, and parking wasn't really a big problem on the street, but access to the parking garage provided with the unit wasn't very straightforward. I understand this was a new thing so hopefully they will get the issues smoothed out. I highly recommend this place and we will be back when we can stay longer!

Great little house
This house was perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids). Very clean and well stocked. The view was beautiful. People walking by commented on it and asked about it. It was so nice to be able to walk to the nearby beaches and see the seals. I would definitely stay here again!

Amazing location
Location is amazing and unbeatable. You can enjoy the best of La Jolla in walking distance. The apartment is better suited for a couple or one family. There is one bathroom and the shower is totally open to the bedroom. A dish washer (even if a small one) would be a plus. We enjoyed our stay and would come back.
