Reserved this amazing VRBO for our daughter's graduation from USD and could not have been happier. Check in and check out could not have been easier. The place was immacualte and simple and so very comfortable and so convniently located. Most of our time was spent outdoors enjoying the firepit and many games of cornhole! It is a safe place for little ones to play and adults to enjoy. This beautiful home is just a few short walks from the beach and everything you may need or want. We can't wait to stay here again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family. It felt like our home away from home!

This is a wonderful La Jolla beach rental, especially for families with kids. We liked that the back yard provides a nice place to transition from a day at the beach--for kids and adults alike. The fact that the host provides beach chairs, sand toys, and a wagon to haul everything to the beach was a huge plus for us. Even though the house is on a busy road, it is set back, so the road noise is only audible from the two front rooms (the living room and the room with twin beds), and it's not too loud. The primary bedroom is off by itself at the very back of the house, with a view to the back yard, if the curtains are open. The house is also within walking distance to some great restaurants. We were glad to have found this place.

This house was the perfect place for our family with young kids to stay for Spring Break. The house was exactly as pictured, very clean and comfortable, had everything we needed, and communication with property manager was straightforward and easy. We especially enjoyed the backyard play set, games and fire pit. The location couldn’t have been better. It’s an easy 2 block walk to the beach and the house had all of the beach equipment for us to use. The outdoor shower was nice to rinse off afterwards. And only about a 20 minute drive to the other major San Diego sites making it a great spot overall.

What a perfect place to stay in La Jolla. House is great, location is perfect, and the backyard is the perfect place to kick back between local excursions. Just a short walk to restaurants, shops, park, and beach. Really can't beat it. We had a wonderful time and will recommend this one to anyone we know coming in from out of town.

We had a lovely stay for our daughter's graduation. The location in La Jolla Shores is perfect for a walk to the beach, a run, a short walk to the small mercantile grocery, shops, and restaurants. This property worked great for our family of two adult couples and two adult children. The house was clean and well equipped, the beds were comfortable and the back garden was fabulous. We ate outside every day, lounged in the sun and shade, and played yard games when we were not out at grad events or on the beach. Our host provided beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, and a wagon to cart them. The house is a vintage beach house, so it has some older house charm, but it has been nicely updated. The only thing we might have used is an extra blanket for the cool evenings. We would definitely stay again.
