  • Aug 13, 2025 Great location right next to the beach and an easy walking distance to La Jolla village with great restaurants. Great set up for couples or small groups for a week of remote work. The hosts were very flexible and responsive to any questions or issues. William B

  • Jul 30, 2025 This was exactly what we had hoped for and more. We are a family of four and were looking for a spot to stay in san diego that was walkable to town and the ocean, clean and quiet. This checked all the boxes. The location is amazing - the building is literally across the street from the ocean. While it doesn't face the water, you walk out the front door and you're right there. sunrise, sunset, walk down to the water....so beautiful. Prime spot for walking to la jolla cove or an easy walk into town for restaurants and shopping. we had a car so the garage was helpful for exploring greater san diego but we didn't need it in town. The apartment itself was beautiful, renovated and very clean. Easy in and out. It is definitely a quiet spot which is what we wanted. I would not stay here if you're a louder party crowd. The owners were super helpful and responsive. We hope to have the chance to come back again in the future. Thanks for everything! Melissa M

  • Jun 26, 2025 I would definitely recommend it and stay again! Meghan was extremely responsive and helpful with check in. The location and walkability was fantastic. Everything was so well thought out within the rental from the welcome basket to the updated decor. This trip was effortless and highly memorable. Robert S
  • Apr 04, 2025 Absolutely Loved Our Stay in La Jolla We stayed from April 4–7 and had an amazing time. The apartment is spacious, clean, and beautifully designed. The kitchen was a standout—fully stocked and perfect for cooking meals. We felt right at home. Evenings were peaceful and romantic as we watched sunsets from the front of the house. The location is ideal—right across from the ocean and walking distance to La Jolla Village with great restaurants, shops, and theaters. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing, scenic getaway. We’d love to stay again! Anastasia S
