La Jolla is your perfect southern California vacation destination, as you'll have easy access to the beach while still being close to all the popular San Diego hot spots! This charming cottage will provide a home base for you and your family and has just about everything you'd need for a relaxing stay.

Leave your cares at home and wander around the beach, which is just a short walk from this home. Comb the shores for shells or just let the sound of the waves provide the soundtrack to your afternoon. For even more fun, head to the world class San Diego Zoo or check out Sea World (both about 20 minutes away from the home). If you just plan on sticking around nearby, downtown La Jolla is a 15 minute walk.

The home has been recently remodeled, and the stylish living room provides a comfortable sofa and a TV complete with cable and a DVD player. You'll also have WiFi here, so staying in touch with work or friends back home will not be a problem.

The simple kitchen has all the necessities to create delicious breakfasts or gourmet dinners. The bedroom is nicely furnished with a queen sized bed. In the mornings, enjoy a cup of coffee out on the sunny brick patio.

This adorable beach cottage is perfect for a small family or a couple looking for a unique vacation spot. You'll feel right at home here, and after walking to the beach everyday, you may have a hard time leaving this idyllic location! Next time you have a few days off, escape to La Jolla for a beach retreat!

Ant problem

The location of the property is amazing. Just steps away from the most beautiful beach. Food and coffee shops close by as well. The only problem was the cleanliness, it felt dirty and there is a big ant problem. The bed is where all the ants like to live. We were swatting ants off the bed the whole trip. Other than that it was a good location

Great & Cozy

Enjoyed property very much, its super peaceful and steps away from the beach. Only have one suggestion the plants frawns had fallen down and it was blocking pathway and a bit noisy to walk on when trying to get in and out of cottage. Neighbor was bit annoyed with us walking through because of the stepping on the plant order to get around. Other than the cottage was quite cozy comfortable and spacious for 2.

Great little cottage within walking distance of the beach. Really clean and comfortable. No air-conditioning and limited air circulation with location of windows but still comfortable. Only things I would flag are that the private patio wasn't really useable. It seemed to be storage for the main house which is right next to the cottage. And if you are a large person, the bathroom may be too small for comfort. For reference my son is 6'2" / 300 lbs and would not have fit. But would definitely would stay there again if in La Jolla!

Second time using VRBO

Great location. Small cottage could have used some upgrades. Especially the mattress. Cleaning up the patio. Drainage of bathroom sink very poor. I was brought new items when I mentioned them to the property manager.

Great Location but. . .

Access to the ocean is just unbeatable here. Vacasa seems well organized and efficient. But…killed a few ants in the kitchen everyday, smallest bathroom on the planet, bathroom is located on the opposite site of the tiny space from the bedroom, the bed is inadequate for two and the covers don’t fit the bed. Could only get Netflix on the TV, parking is in a very narrow one way alley (rent a small car), and the room was hot when the temp hit 70. If you can afford it, try something else.

Great location

Our favorite spot in San Diego - close to the sophistication of La Jolla or the bars and beaches of Pacific Beach. But in a quiet neighborhood with accessibility to both places and its own very cool beachfront just a block away. Simple, quiet and unassuming - this provides a great home-base for someone wanting to be out and about most of the time. No frills, but none needed for our trip. I would advise a compact car if you are renting as the parking spot for the place would make it difficult for a larger car coming and going.

Property description changed

Great location, but….. the property needs some work and maintenance. Was once the garage of the main house, which is also a rental, so do not expect a quite place. When we booked, the description included a fold out couch. The unit has a new couch, but no longer a fold out. No one informed us of the change ahead of time, makes it hard when traveling with your child. The bathroom is exceptionally small.
