We absolutely think the property is unique and great! On previous visits we have stayed in one and two bedroom cottages, but this time we had to stay in Sea Gate which is a studio unit! It was the last unit available for our stay. It is very "adorable" and visually peaceful and quiet as well. But it is quite small and it is really only that which causes me to give it four stars instead of five. It was difficult to get into or out of bed....that kind of small. But if we were going there again, and if it was the only unit available, we would still stay there. That's how much we like Redwood Cottages.

We enjoyed the property and how well-cared for it was. We were able to walk around and “discovered” the greenhouse. Our toddler loved it! We stayed in Whispering Sands and liked the homey feel. It was not too noisy and we were able to relax. The beach and restaurants were easily accessible by walking which we did. All in all, we will definitely love to return and stay longer.

Unique cottages of all sizes, lush landscaping and very quiet overall. Nicely appointed with all one needs for a comfy stay. Adorable setting. Complicated online reservation system. Some definite quirks(office closed on Sunday but Welcome book says they are open everyday). No one onsite after 5:00pm. No instructions on how to run the a/c or coffee maker. The ceiling fan only worked when bedroom light was on. No window screens

Very cosy cottage with charms.

Certainly not a luxury resort but doesn’t want to be. My cottage consisted even of 2 huts with a kind of private garden. The second hut was furnished just with a coutch but how cosy…. Situation in La Jolla is perfect. 3 minutes walk to the sea, 5 minutes to restaurants and a supermarket. I recommend it and would come back again if I eber have the chance to visit La Jolla again.

This was perfect. It'd be fun to go with a group and rent all the cottages. It's a short walk to a small beach and also a short walk to a great restaurant, El Pescador Fish Market (Ate there 3 times on a four day stay) and a great surf shop, Mitch's surf shop. It would be perfect if it was on the beach. Also, don't miss The Taco Stand.

The property is super tiny with paths that are hard to walk and uneven. It’s like a little maze getting to where we were staying. We didn’t get to pick our room and we ended up getting a micro suite. My husband is 6’2” and he barely fit anywhere in the room. I couldn’t walk across the room without hitting my hip on the dresser at the foot of the bed because there was only a foot wide gap between the dresser and bed. For a short stay it was manageable but wouldn’t recommend for anything longer than a night or 2. The walls are super thing too which is actually stated in their welcome packet because it’s an old property. We could hear when people were talking outside our room and when our neighbor showered. We did also have an incident where someone tried to go into our suite in the early morning. Thankfully we were checking out anyway. The staff were nice. We didn’t interact with them much but when we did they were as accommodating as possible.

My stay at Redwood Hollow was a mix of pros and cons. The property’s location is fantastic—set in a stunning area with a beautiful garden, and within walking distance to the beach and La Jolla village. However, the hotel itself is in need of renovation. The rooms and facilities could use some updating to match the charm of the surroundings. One significant issue was the $500 charge to my card for a deposit on incidentals. Although I had read about it during booking, I was later informed that I wouldn’t be charged. The charge only appeared on my account the morning of checkout, which was confusing and unexpected. While I enjoyed the area, the surprise charge left a sour note on an otherwise pleasant stay.
