About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Ocean views, hot tub & pool, walk to beach, restaurants, and more!

Welcome to Sunset Cottage!

Tucked away on a quiet little cul-de-sac, this beautiful home sits atop a small hill and offers gorgeous views of La Jolla Shores and the La Jolla Cove. This quiet street allows you to enjoy the beauty of the sand and surf all from the serenity of your private home! When you're ready, just walk a few short blocks to the beach and/or local restaurants and shops...all on flat ground. No hills, except the short driveway, to climb!

When you walk into Sunset Cottage, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time....the kitchen cabinets, wood paneling and bathroom tile are all charmingly vintage! That said, all the amenities are brand new. Beautiful 400 thread count, 100% Egyptian Cotton sheets grace every bed with 100% cotton bath towels in each bath. The furniture, including all bedding, is brand new and designed to help you and your friends and family sit back, relax and enjoy each other's company.

There is a large dining area with fireplace and extra seating for relaxing meals at home. The dining area opens into the large living room with sectional couch. There is a large, 65" TV to enjoy your favorite shows or movies – or just curl up on the couch and play a board game or enjoy a good book!

Inside the house, there are 3 bedrooms - all with older, vintage ensuite bathrooms, AND a separate, detached 1BR studio guest house with a queen bed, walk-in closet and a private vintage bathroom. (PLEASE NOTE: The detached guest studio is only suitable for adults as it is outside near the pool and is not attached to the house.)

There are two master suites with California King Beds and brand new bedding. The front suite offers beautiful views of La Jolla Shores from the bed. The second Master Suite also has a California King bed and window seat and ensuite bathroom. The middle bedroom has two queen beds and is great for two teens or four young kids (that don't mind sharing a bed). The separate guest studio is out by the pool and offers in-laws or teenagers a little bit of privacy!

All 4.5 bathrooms are older and have vintage pink, yellow and/or blue tile. The shower/tub configuration is a little smaller than many modern bathrooms and requires a step over the side of the tub to get into the shower.

The kitchen is well stocked and offers everything you might need to make meals at your home away from home, including; a coffeemaker, microwave, toaster oven and pots and pans. Featuring a built-in banquette, you can sit comfortably while in the kitchen talking to the chef! There is a small desk in the kitchen if you need a place to set up and work! That said, we highly recommend sitting at the dining room table with your laptop as the view is better from in there!

There is wonderful space outside by the pool where you are protected from the breeze, but can still look through the house to see the beautiful ocean views! This is a wonderful spot to just sit back and read a book! There are 2 chaise lounge chairs (with umbrella) and a dining table for 4 people. There are also lots of extra chairs for those that just want to sit and enjoy an afternoon glass of wine with family and friends. For most rentals, we have a pool-safe fence around the pool to protect children from falling in. If your rental is for adults only and you would like the fencing removed before your stay, just let us know and we will make sure it is taken down before your arrival.

There is a small yard in the front of the house where you can throw a football or just set up some beach chairs and watch the sunset!

The laundry room is located just off the kitchen outside the main house next to the garage. There is an ironing board and iron and all laundry supplies available for your use.

Once you’ve stayed here once, we’re sure you’ll come back again! Sunset cottage is truly a wonderful place to relax and recharge your batteries.

PLEASE NOTE: There is AC in house bedrooms only! No AC in living area, kitchen or pool house bedrooms. The house is designed to open all windows and doors and let the coastal breeze cool off the house.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call Jennifer at 858-232-2522!

We hope to hear from you and welcome you to La Jolla soon!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Beds sport Egyptian cotton sheets and the bathroom offers a hair dryer. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace.

Can’t wait to go back!

My family- aged 70 to 20 months —stayed for a fabulous week at this amazing house. Everything was wonderful from the communication from Jennifer toCheck-in, The location - with an easy and quick walk to the water—to The house itself! Beautiful 1950’s style rambler, which made it easy for the baby to navigate. The house is also Much bigger than the pics show ! The pool and hot tub were a definite plus! And did I recommend Jennifer? We had to call her as we were getting ready to leave for the airport bc my grandson accidentally locked his parents out of their bedroom-/ with everything inside! She called a locksmith who came in 20 minutes and saved the day! I can’t say enough about this house and cannot wait to return!

An absolute gem!!

This was the perfect property for a family vacation with two little ones. The owners were wonderful to work with and very accommodating. The fence around the pool was a huge help in keeping our little ones safe when we weren't swimming but wanted to be outside. Gorgeous backyard. The house only has AC in the rooms but the windows open kept a beautiful breeze going throughout the house and it stayed comfortable. The location was perfect. walkable to the beach, coffee shops, restaurants and a playground. Would Highly recommend to anyone!

Great location

Great location walkable to the beach. Very close to the aquarium, UCSD, restaurants, shops and the grocery. Each bedroom has its own full bathroom which is very nice. Kitchen and bathrooms are not in photos and are original but worked well and not an issue for our stay. Recommend heating the pool/hot tub in cooler months. Beach towels and cart provided by hosts. Recommend renting wet suits for surfing.

People enjoyed the comfortable living areas with views of the ocean and La Jolla, the private pool and hot tub, and the plentiful outdoor patio seating. The kitchen was well-stocked so we could cook and eat in. Pool toys were also provided, and plenty of bedding and towels. Jennifer was a great hostess, always communicating quickly and helpfully.

Incredible views, perfect family vacation spot

This place was truly special. We got our family together here to celebrate my moms 60th and everyone was just so happy with the views, the amazing pool and hot tub, the spaciousness, all of the little kid friendly amenities. The hostess was a pleasure to communicate with. We did have a couple of things break and she had someone out by the next day to repair them. The house is really cool and retro, but super clean and nice. It’s a quiet cup-de-sec and a walk from the beach. Easy drive from airport, to zoos and right by the aquarium. We were afraid the pool would be too cold, but it was perfect and the fence around the pool was amazing since we had little ones and idk what we would have done without it. The pool house was filled with floats and chairs and a wagon, they had everything we could need, all you need to do is do a grocery store run and you’re set for the week. I wish we could have stayed longer. Watching the sun set over the ocean from the front yard every night was my favorite part of our vacation.

Perfect place for a family stay and great location!

Spacious house with all the amenities! Loved the fact that we had comfortable beds and all had our own bathrooms with bathtubs for the our granddaughters. The house is great for little kids to run around in with toys, games, big screen TV and large pool that they loved! Beautiful sunset views of the ocean from the front living room and dining room picture windows!! Easily able to walk to restaurants and beach. Only downside was variable temperatures throughout the house- warm in the kitchen and dining room but cold in the bedrooms…hard to get them consistent. But it’s an old house…charming , classic mid century and well maintained. Jennifer responded promptly to the few questions we had. Thank you!
