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.

This was my second stay at this La Jolla Shores home, and it was just as great as the first. The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating — even arranged an early check-in for us and provided clear, easy-to-follow instructions. The house was spotless and looked exactly like the photos. The backyard was perfect for lounging, with plenty of equipment and seating to relax and enjoy the weather.When a small issue came up during our stay, the host responded immediately and had it fixed by the time we got back that evening — couldn’t ask for better service. Everything about this stay was seamless from start to finish. I’ll definitely be back again!

House was just as advertised - stylish, clean, well-located, and well-appointed for kids and adults. Backyard was very spacious and enough games and space for children ages 3-7 and adult relaxation.Beds were very comfortable and worked well for the number of children in our family.Stocked with basics so no need to buy laundry soap, dish soap, Kleenex, tp, etc. We needed 1 item brought to us and it was delivered right away.Host very attentive and friendly and so was the next-door neighbor. Would love to come back another time!

Perfect summer vacation home for family!This is the second time that we rented this house, and we just love all the amenities, the location and the big backyard with all the toys for kids. The added pergola with a large picnic table is perfect: we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner every day outside.The house is clean, spacious and comfortable: we love the beds!You can walk easily to the beach even with a 4 years old, then in the evening walk to get ice-cream or dine at a restaurant.We are planning to rent again next year for a longer period.

Amazing spot in La Jolla Shores

Absolutely loved our stay at this La Jolla Shores home! We were a group of six adults and a baby, and the house was perfect for us. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The home itself was spotless and beautifully maintained. The backyard was a highlight with a fire pit, outdoor dining area, lawn games, and everything you could need for a beach day. The host was incredibly responsive and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Every detail was thoughtfully considered. Truly an amazing spot—highly recommend!

Fantastic Home, Great Location, Perfect Backyard

We stayed over Memorial Day weekend to celebrate our daughter's college graduation. The house was perfectly appointed for our group of 6 adults. The backyard is lovely with a great fire pit, conversation space, outdoor dining, and space to play yard games. The house is located just a couple of streets away from the main street with lots of great shops and restaurants. It's also just a short 5 min walk to the beach. The property manager was lovely to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend this home to a group of adults but also anyone with children as there is an adorable tree fort and playhouse in the backyard as well. 10/10
