Perfect stay for a small family

We wanted to get away and have a nice beach vacation that was low effort. This was the perfect spot for that! Short walk to the La Jolla Shores beach and to a bunch of restaurants, coffee shops, and other amenities. Property is exactly as advertised, well maintained, and clean. Parking in the garage was easy and great to have as street parking can be limited in this area.We would definitely book here again in the future.
