Great location in La Jolla
We have previously visited La Jolla but staying in town was a nice experience. Between the beaches, shopping, and great restaurants, this location worked well for us.

Nice place & nice location!
The house is very nice, equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen, plenty of tp, soap, shampoo, conditioner, & body wash in every bathroom, beach towels, etc. and very close to the beach! Only one negative comes to mind - the couch was a little frumpy with a few stains. We had to try and flip the cushions to as clean a side as we could get. But overall, would definitely stay here again!

A decent stay property
The location was good and relatively close to points of interest. It's also easy to get around that area. The pictures on the website are apparently older, so there have been a few changes to the property. The inside of the property was relatively neat and clean, but the exterior needs work: screens are ragged, exterior needs cleaning, outdoor furniture is falling apart. The master bathroom shower is also out of commission. We rented the property specifically because it was equipped with AC. This turned out to be a waste since the AC would not work, even when the thermostat was unlocked. The property manager was apologetic, and offered to have someone come look at it, but we really didn't want our vacation disrupted in that manner. In short, I would rent from that property manager (Ocean Sands) again, but I would not rent that property.

Wonderful property for family of 5
We stayed for our daughters UCSD graduation weekend. The house was wonderful and had everything we needed for our visit so we could relax and enjoy the weekend. The location is amazing so close to the beach and restaurants close enough to walk. The house has plenty of space inside and outside to relax and visit. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We will absolutely try to stay there again.

President's Day Weekend
Positives: The home is in a great neighborhood in La Jolla and steps away from the beach. Small, premium grocery store, coffee shop, and cafes are all within a short walk. Home was well stocked with toiletries/towels/laundry/etc. essentials. Hosts were responsive with communications.
Negatives: It was a cooler weekend, and the heat was not consistent throughout the house - the first floor was cold and second floor was a sauna. Also, there were a number smaller things that would be quick fixes that in aggregate translated into a our experience being below expectations based on the listing and pictures (examples: cracked toilet seat, rusty trash cans in bathrooms, soap scum on glass in master shower).
