High School Friends
The location was in a very quiet neighborhood but still close to restaurants, shops and walking distance to the beach.We especially enjoyed the outdoor patio area where we sat and caught up on many years of having not seen each other. Overall the place was very comfortable and clean.When the fire pit was non functioning, the home owner was very responsive in helping out.

Lovely location in La Jolla
Cute home just a few blocks from the beach and a mile from all La Jolla Cove and related stores and the Open Aire Market. The home is comfortable and furnished well. The patios make the place with comfortable seating, umbrellas, plants and trees. While no AC in August was a little rough when the wind isn't blowing, the fans helped.

Great property inside & out!
My daughter & I stayed at Roland's VRBO for about 3 weeks, while my daughter got treatment at Rady Children's Hospital. I needed same day check-in & also extended our stay 2xs & Roland was accommodating & gracious. House is spacious & well stocked, beds comfy, front & back patios lovely. Very clean, & location is great - walkable, safe neighborhood with grocery, awesome coffee shops, & cafes a block down street. Beach another block further. Would stay here again. Thanks for everything, Roland!

Family trip to La Jolla in July
My family of four really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful beach home. The highlights included, the lush garden courtyard that provided privacy and a scenic backdrop of hibiscus plants and aromatic scents of sweet honey suckle. The weather was spectacular during our stay. A short couple blocks to the beach. We enjoyed morning walks in the neighborhood and walking down to the coffee shops on Pearl street. The gas fireplace in the courtyard was a hit, we spent a lot of time relaxing here. The host was quick to get back to me with any questions i had. There were no surprises. We had a fantastic stay here and hope to come back again!

Wonderful stay - looking forward to returning!
We sincerely enjoyed our stay at this house. The owners were professional and friendly; they answered questions promptly, plus provided great communication before and during our stay. The house was very clean and fully equipped; we had everything we needed to be very comfortable. We especially liked the secluded courtyard and outdoor spaces. And the location is fantastic: on a quiet neighborhood street that’s close to both the beach & town. We absolutely recommend staying here!

Property was well kept and as described. Definitely is more than 2 blocks from the beach (more like 6). Property rules & regulations are thoroughly noted and a bit overwhelming. Nice quaint place for a small family to stay at while visiting La Jolla.

Cute beach getaway
Overall the property was wonderful and the location was fantastic. Check-in was very easy, however originally it stated a 4pm check-in, which later changed to 5pm once we received the codes for the property. Very late check-in times but overall well worth the visit.

Great outdoor space!
We had a perfect girls weekend. The house is very clean and has everything you need. The outdoor space is beautiful and relaxing. The beds are very comfortable. The neighborhood isn’t very lively, but the location is central to everything San Diego has to offer, so get out and explore. The sea kayaking and sea lions were the highlight of our trip. A close 2nd was the amazing sunset at windandsea beach!

Great Location
The home is in a great location, walkable to the beach and coffee shop. The outdoor setting is perfect and very relaxing. Beds were very comfortable. We had everything we needed for a great stay. One draw back is the amount of signage in the home telling you what not to do. The furnishings are dated. The brown sofa is covered in a pilling brown sofa cover and the coffee table are covered in quilt like protectors. I felt like for all the guest expectations it would be nice if the owner provided some welcoming, user friendly furnishings. We had great communication with the owner.

Horrible experience with Vrbo and the owner
The property is okay. It has good amenities outside from outdoor firepit to BBQ etc. But once you step inside the house, it is a disaster. This house is perfectly made to remind you of your high school days where every wall is covered with rules and regulations. While the owner is transparent with few of them before hand (Pre stay agreement has some clause) there are so many hidden rules and regulations. He has a complete book of it. If you book, you will believe me. As a matter of fact, if you do end up booking this place, please take insurance because owner will deduct something or the others for damanges that you did not do. He used our insurance money for no damages from our side to refurnish his house. About the owner: He is loud and foul mouthed to the best. I agree that we broke one rule where one of our local friend had come over to meet us for dinner. (Rule 101: Do not bring anyone outside of the people you mentioned on pre agreement), Our local friend was smoking cigarettes outside the house. Good 50 ft away and somehow owner recognized him (He perhaps lives in the other side of the house) and came barging in and shouted on all of us for continuous 30 mins. Considering it our mistake we let our friend go back to his home and stayed silent while he shouted on us. Owners behavior, if at all reeked of racism again Asian. He might refute this but during the pandemic we did staycation all across the Pacific coast, but never had the experience he gave us. The ordeal went on for couple of months where he deducted all our security money without any discussion or even informing. Avoid at all cost. If unavoidable, do purchase the insurance from VRBO. You will thank me later.

Wonderful beach home for a family getaway!
We had a wonderful stay at this home in La Jolla! It was perfect for our family of 4 (kids ages 2 & 4). I loved how clean everything was! The kitchen was well stocked with pretty much anything we needed. We cooked several meals during our stay. Plus they had kids plates and cups which was a nice touch! I didn’t have to worry about them breaking any dishes or buy paper plates. The beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms have been updated since the pictures in the listing were taken which was a nice surprise! The outside patio was great for relaxing day or evening. The location is wonderful too! Blocks from a wonderful beach and close to several good restaurants and a grocery store. Overall great home, we would return! My only complaint is that our flight came in a little earlier on the day we checked in and we couldn’t even get into the house a half hour early. I get rules are rules and it’s minor but anyone with kids knows after a long day of travel, you just want to get your kids to where you are staying! There was probably more to it than I am aware.

Great location, too many rules, steep fees
This house is in a great location - super close to the ocean, stores, coffee etc. Very clean but like other reviewers have said - a very strong Tide smell, we had to wash all the sheets and pillowcases the 2nd day and open all the windows and keep them open the whole weekend. Communication with the owner was great before we arrived. But when I sent a note after our stay about noisy neighbors I got no reply. There are lots of rules - which the listing is very clear about so that was no surprise. But there are also signs all over the house. Also like other reviewers have said - makes you feel a bit unwelcome and like you must tiptoe around the house and yard. Which is a shame because the front patio is super dreamy. Also very high cleaning fee for such a small house where you have to take the trash out, and strip the beds and start the laundry before you leave. We travel a lot and this is the highest cleaning fee we have ever paid. Also there are lots of rules about nighttime noise but none about morning noise and there was a neighbor who woke us up before 7am on a Friday and proceeded to spend hours on the phone outside right under our window. I wrote to the owner to let them know, and received no reply. We left the house super clean and followed all the rules but I was still worried about losing my deposit and that’s not a fun feeling. You also have to pay $100 for insurance in addition that you don’t get back! If the owners could loosen up on the rules a little, drop that insurance fee, lower the cleaning fee this would get 5 stars from us because the house and location are great!

We so enjoyed our time at this property and in this amazing town!! I absolutely loved La Jolla and Roland, the home owner, was wonderful to work with. I was here with a friend on this trip, but would also love to come back here with my husband and two young children.

We were somewhat worried at previous reviews talking about the rules at this property. Although there were a significant amount of labels and postings, I think the rules have led to this property being a clean and organized property. We rent a lot and this property is one of the cleanest and smoothly run we have been to.
