John’s beach house in La Jolla is probably the best rental house I’ve ever stayed in. It’s beautiful and equipped with everything you need for your stay. The views from the front porch are phenomenal, and the beach is just steps away. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and I was able to walk everywhere as I was traveling without a car. I hope to come back again in the future!

This is my 2nd time staying at John and Katie’s adorable cottage. The location is amazing just steps from the beach and the most beautiful sunsets. John greets you and is the most welcoming kind host. The neighborhood is quiet yet walkable to everything you need. And the cottage is adorable, comfortable with everything you need to make dinner and stay in, relax outside on the patio or go for a walk and enjoy everything La Jolla has to offer.

Beautiful getaway in prime location!

We loved our stay in La Jolla! The guesthouse was clean, cool, and on a quiet street just a few houses down from the beach. Our only (very minor!) complaint was that the bedroom was sometimes bright in the morning since some of the windows/doors didn’t have blinds. However, we are early risers and were eager to get up and explore La Jolla anyways :) The house was equipped with everything you might need (beach chairs, beach towels, bottle openers, etc.!) John was an incredibly gracious host and was easy to communicate with. We will most certainly be back!

Lovely guesthouse in La Jolla

We loved the property and location in a very nice neighborhood, with easy access to the beaches and attractions in San Diego. Property was clean and nicely furnished and bed was comfortable. The only glitch we had was arranging the flow of water in the shower so water didn’t escape while showering. We never had a problem finding street parking at the property. Definitely would recommend!

Great location! Great value!

I’ve stayed in many short-term rentals, including two similarly-priced units in nearby Del Mar. This was the best of all and in far better condition than the previous Del Mar units. It is located in a beautiful, quiet residential area yet just one short block to the beach and two blocks from La Jolla Village. The furnishings are quality and comfortable. The hosts, who live next door, are very responsive and helpful. They added a small table for dining. (I guess other guests eat out for all their meals?)

Relaxing Beach Vacation

Location cannot be beat! Neighborhood is quiet. We visited several beaches in the area and the beach right next to our VBRO was our favorite. Parking is on the street but we never had trouble finding a spot. The house was clean and well stocked. Bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend!

Johns guest house is perfect. It’s comfort, relaxing, quiet, close to the beautiful beach (just a few steps) in a beautiful walkable neighborhood where you can get everything you need for the day or week. I wish I could have stayed longer and I will be back John is the kindest host if you need anything he is available to help and has thought of every detail to make your stay enjoyable and relaxing. If you have the opportunity to spend time at Johns guest house my advice is do it you won’t regret and I bet you will be planning another trip back it’s that wonderful

Beautiful spot less than two blocks to the La Jolla Beach

This is a wonderful find! From the location, to the beautiful vaulted ceiling, to the well spaced kitchen, this lovely place has it all. Everything was clean, well, organized, secure, quiet, and just two blocks from the ocean. There were two large TVs that have Internet access so you can watch Netflix and Hulu as well as a great little secluded patio to eat your meals. While driving there is ideal and we rented a car, there’s a lot of walking opportunities, including the grocery store and many dining Places within less than a mile walk. On top of that, John lives on site and is extremely helpful and friendly and always willing to lend a hand if needed. 5 stars across the board. We will definitely be coming back!
