About this property

Historic Cottage with Zen Feel. Full Ocean Views in Village

La Reinita translates as 'The Queen'. And a Queen it is. Built on a hill overlooking the pacific it was one of the first homes built in La Jolla by the first village's doctor. But please don't get the idea that it is old, on the contrary, it is very new inside with an up to date kitchen and modern comfy furniture. It is where historic and zen come together.

You enter the cottage property through a wrought iron gate past a small office building. An outdoor seating area and a hot tub greet you in the backyard.

As you enter the cottage you are greeted by hardwood floors, panoramic ocean views, and a wonderful living room. There is a brand new sofa bed plus two new chairs - 2024 upgrades - in the living room that are directed towards a large mounted TV that sits above an electric fireplace. Two additonal chairs are set up for ocean viewing and reading.

To the right, as you enter the cottage, is the kitchen and dining area that seats four. A large window with a kitchen nook is the perfect spot to look out on the lawn with beautiful gardens. The motif is black and white with all up to date appliances and is fully equipped with dishes, pots, pans, and even wine glasses!

On the far side of the living room to the right is the master bedroom. Very cozy with a queen size bed, an attic with extra storage, and a full bath room.

To the left of the living room is an outside deck with ample seating, patio umbrella, fire pit, and a hot tub. All of which can be enjoyed with a beautiful ocean view.

By the door that takes you to the deck is a spiral staircase leading to a second downstairs bedroom with a queen bed and full bathroom. A washer and dryer is just around the corner.

The colors are white beige and blue making it very cottage like but with a strong Zen feel of peace and comfort and tranquility.

The home can sleep 5 max. including kids.

Rental includes 1 free reserved parking spot located in the garage next door, a coveted amenity in this area. Please note that you will need the parking fob to enter and exit the parking garage to avoid being charged.

The cottage has a yard. The seating/bbq/hot tub areas are in the back side of the yard, next to the cottage, and are for the use of the cottage guests. Vendors - gardeners, hot tub cleaners- will have access to the yard when necessary. There is also a deck attached to the front commercial building. That deck is for the use of the commercial builiding tenants. To access the deck they need to go through the iron entrance gate and the front side of the yard. For these reasons guests that bring dogs will be asked to keep them on a leash when out in the yard.

Once a Reservation is made Guest will receive our standard Rental Agreement, this will need to be reviewed, signed, and sent back to us.

The house is pet friendly, please inquire first about bringing your pet.

It’s our home away from home
This was our fourth stay at this cottage. Myself, my wife, her brother and his wife; ages range from 64-78 This is the perfect spot for us. An easy walk to many restaurants and the coastal walk. We usually hang out the afternoon we get in then on Thursday and Friday we head to the Temecula wine country. We visit old favorites and some new ones Saturday is the day to hang around lajolla. The cottage is perfect with two baths and two bedrooms. The deck is a relaxing place to spend our evenings Laura and Gabriela are wonderful to work with. Very quick on getting back to us in case of questions. I can’t think of another place in La Jolla that gives you downtown access and total privacy. We have already booked for next year and hope to keep coming back

Amazing La Jolla location!
This cottage is walking distance to everything in the Village of La Jolla: grocery, restaurants, waterfront. We were there a week. It's rustic but it grew on us due to it's amazing access to all that La Jolla has to offer.

Lovely little cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in La Jolla. The cottage is cute, quaint, peaceful and delightfully rustic. Loved the entrance covered in ivy. It seemed like our own little secret cottage. Loved it all! If I wanted to give any small area which could be improved upon, it may be the comfort of the living room furniture, but I dont expect ultra expensive comfy stuff. We coped and the trip was wonderful...thanks so much!

Beautiful, perfect location!
We stayed at this property for two weeks with our family of four (2 adults, one 4 year old and one toddler under 2). It was absolutely perfect and blissful. The views from the balcony and within the property are amazing and you can even hear the waves from the balcony. There little garden area was perfect for our littles ones. When you step into the garden from the street, it is instantly tranquil and quiet. This place was truly an oasis! It was about a 5 minute walk to Shell beach and within walking distance (2-10 minutes) of several restaurants. It is also within walking distance of several other La Jolla beaches besides Shell beach. The location could not have been more perfect for us. The property itself is well maintained and very quaint and charming. We thought it was absolutely lovely. The kitchen was stocked well enough to prepare some simple meals and there was ample space throughout for our family of four. The beds were comfortable and we felt very much at home during our stay. When we had questions for the property managers/owners, they were very responsive and kind. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely love to stay here again if we visit La Jolla again in the future!

Historic Filthy Cottage with Dog Feces and Unresponsive Owner
The home was filthy on arrival. The spa tenants in front allow their dogs to defecate and urinate right where you step into the jacuzzi and their dogs are allowed to roam your yard. They will bark at you as an intruder. Property manager was called and unresponsive to all issues. Owner is obviously relying on five star location so doesn’t think they have to do anything further to maintain this historically recognized property, which looks and feels like a 100 year old property. Outdoor weeds were growing through the windows inside the home. Garden was not maintained. The kitchen was not properly stocked - mismatched dishes and hardly any were intact. Stair railing was sticky and bed sheets stained from previous guest and lack of cleaning. Sand everywhere. We asked for cleaning fee reimbursement and Owner was unresponsive. Will now have to file formal complaint with VRBO and credit card. Home is nowhere near a VRBO standard. We own two VRBO homes and would never let our properties fall this far from grace. Renter beware.

Ok but a bit dated
We enjoyed our stay in this historic old cottage. It was well placed for the centre & for the beach As it was old, it did feel like it needed a bit of a brighten up with windows & doors looking a bit shabby. The photos are a bit misleading as the furniture is darker wood in reality . It was lovely to sit in the sunny window & on the decking in the evening & the hot tub was nice too. Although we enjoyed our stay I wouldn’t return as it was quite expensive for the facilities & felt like we were in someone’s garden as it was behind businesses with no divide. I am sure a lot of people will love the quaintness & history but I think we could do better for the price. No real complaints but not quite what we expected

Great ocean view
The property is shabby chic, but in a good way, with an updated kitchen and baths with strong showers and plenty of hot water. It is a short walk to the Childrens Beach as well as many others. Lots of restaurants within easy walking distance too, so we did not need to move our car, which was parked for free in a nearby covered lot (covered by rental). The managers were responsive and helpful when needed.

Wonderful Location
This is a cute house in a great location. There are many good restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The outside patio with the fireplace and hot tub was great to have. Unfortunately, the home was not clean in some areas such as the windows (the view could have been so much better if the windows were clean) and the downstairs bedroom floor (extremely dirty). The outdoor lights were not working and the outdoor furniture cushions really need replacing. For the price the house could use a deep clean and repairs as needed.

Great location!
We stayed here with my parents and our toddler for a wedding nearby. The property was perfect for our visit- needing to be in town and walkable. It was exceptionally great for our toddler and having the private yard for her to play in and a great playground at the community center which was very close! We enjoyed sitting on the patio, hot tub and being able to easily walk down to Childrens Pool to see the seals an incredible views. The hosts were great in being communicative in ensuring we'd have a pack and play and high chair. Also very nice to have a dedicated parking spot. Highly recommend!

This place was so nice and the area is very quiet. If you walk out the front door up the hill, through 2 hidden gates, it opens up to all the local stores and restaurants. Never once heard any traffic.

Our yearly visit
We have just completed our third stay here and booked our next years stay before we left It continues to be a perfect spot for a visit to La Jolla and the Temecula wine area (quick hour drive away) The checkin process is easy; any questions are quickly answered via email or Vrbo messaging. The property manager (Mirabelle) is always available if there are questions or problems. Fully equipped house and you could cook if you wanted to but with so many restaurants around we never do. We especially recommend La Dolce Vita in downtown La Jolla. Get the truffle risotto Really enjoy hanging on the patio with the fire and looking at the ocean. Great walks along the ocean either direction. As long as we can make it up and down the spiral stairs to the lower bedroom we will be coming every year.
