Excellent Location & Communication
We loved so much about this house. The location is excellent--we loved sitting on the porch watching the ocean which is just across the street. We even saw sea lions playing in the surf. It was an easy walk to LaJolla restaurants and attractions. There are tidepools directly across the street that our family enjoyed checking out.The layout of the home was great for our family with the 3 beds and 2 baths. We also appreciated the private backyard and hot tub. The hot tub was a bit cloudy, but the management company was very quick to respond and address the situation. The parking situation (which is noted in the listing) was a little tough--we had rented a minivan, which was a bit long for the driveway, so we were able to either park diagonally or use street parking. Street parking was decent most times of day. The management company was excellent at communication, and gave us clear check in and out instructions, manuals for appliances, etc. The home itself had all of the things we needed like beach chairs, towels, a coffee machine, etc. A few things in the house could use some attention, like faded curtains and a saggy mattress in the primary bedroom, but they weren't a big deal. Overall we loved this home and would stay here again.
The location of this home can't be beat - watch the ocean from the front porch and fall asleep to the waves. Great location for restaurants and access to the beach. The house has a new management company this year and it is really well stocked and clean. We were happy to see upgrades also, like a new sofa and a new dishwasher. Can't wait to go back again!

For over 10 yrs, I rented the pick house...3 houses down on Coast Blvd. I was so happy to find this house in the area I love. Everything was great. The responses were very quick with questions and needs. Suggestions are:
provide very basic office type needs, like pen, pencil, note paper. Updated city/town info. Upgrade beach chairs/beach umbrellas.
Sweeteners (sugar,etc.) stir stick, by coffee bar.
Very minor changes to a delightful experience! We will be back and please notify if any last minute deals!!

Charming home with 5 Star Location
This property is prime! Charming cottage with amazing view. Sitting on the front porch watching surfers, sea lions and dolphins was the highlight. The backyard was cozy and comfortable. Easy to walk to town and meals. Easy check in process and very comfortable sleeping (how can you not sleep well with the sounds of the ocean waves). The cottage is well stocked with kitchen supplies, bedding and towels. The rental agency was easy and friendly to work with. We will definitely stay here again (and again). Don’t hesitate booking this cottage…do it. You won’t regret it.

Perfect La Jolla Stay
This place was amazing! Austin was great and so helpful with any questions we had with quick responses. The house is so cute and is a perfect break from all the super modern square homes around it. It is still the original home that was built in 1930! With updates of course, but it definitely still has the charm and elegance you would imagine the area almost 100 years ago. The home is very clean comfortable. The beds were comfortable. The hot tub was amazing. The grounds are so well taken care of. Wake up and see the beautiful ocean and dolphins playing from the front porch. It is within walking distance of everything! Literally right across the street from the tide pools which was so amazing! We saw an octopus the first day! A super short walk away you can see the seals and all their pups lounging on the beach. Walk to breakfast, coffee, shopping, the beach for swimming, dinner… everything! We loved it! Loved it so much we are talking about make it an annual stay in that home. I think it would be super cool if there was a little info about the home’s history since it is the original home. I think it would be fun to have a little something for the guests to write in to tell the future guests about an exciting experience they had so it could give them a tip about exploring the area if it’s their first time in the area.
Don’t hesitate! Stay here!

Not as advertised!
Furnace does not work, so there was no heat during stormy and cold nights. Dishwasher doesn’t work, garbage compactor did not work, so basically, the appliances are rather a mess in the kitchen. Terrible, toilet paper, paper towels, like from a gas station, no cleaning supplies, so we had to buy our own. Here No hot water, at best very spotty and incredibly slow. No dressers in your bedrooms for folded clothes,, no suitcase stands, so you have to have your things all over the floor., Inadequate electrical and blew fuses because of it. Propane tank ran out and was not replenished on the back patio fire table. Jacuzzi was pretty gross. It’s a beautiful location but cannot recommend nor would I go back unless they renovate.

2nd Time Winter Stay
This is our second time staying in the house. You can't beat the location and the view, perfect for enjoying sunsets, the cove and the village. The outdoor furniture in the backyard is a recent upgrade, much appreciated. More TLC is needed inside. The furnace was not working (maintenance was alerted) and the dishwasher is useless. We used the gas fireplace for heat in the main room but had to run out to purchase a lighter. The kitchen is ok for breakfast and small meals but not well equipped in general if you're staying a while. Beds are comfortable. It would be helpful to have more bathroom and kitchen towels. Laundry machines work well but no detergent or softener provided.

Great location but house needs some TLC
The location of this house is spectacular! A wonderful view of the beach/surf from the front porch day and night. The back yard is nicely appointed and comfortable if you want to get out of the late afternoon sun, but the pump for the hot tub runs periodically and is quite noisy.
The house is very dated but a little TLC could turn this into a 5 star property. A/C is only in 2 of the bedrooms. On a hot day, this house is very warm / uncomfortable anywhere other than the 2 bedrooms. 3rd bdrm is too hot. If the weather is mild, just open the windows and enjoy the La Jolla weather. The dishes were a little dirty and needed to be re-washed before use. The dishwasher is mostly useless and does not clean. The ice maker was broken, but Vacasa sent out a repairman to address. Since he needed to order replacement parts, he was unable to fix during the stay, but I expect that will be repaired before long. The floors were very dirty. They need a good mop job. We complained, so they sent someone to sweep again. Just a basic kitchen broom, no mop. Could still feel a little sand under our bare feet. I wiped the floor with a damp paper towel, and it was nasty. One of the interior doors, and the front door are tough to open and need a handyman to address. The hedges had some spider webbing of some kind on top of them, but otherwise the exterior was I good shape.
This house is close enough to walk to the lovely shops and restaurants in La Jolla, or just enjoy a stroll along the beachfront.

Family fun
The property could not be in a better location. Walking distance to downtown La Jolla, across the street from a rocky beach, easy walk to see the seals. It was a quick drive from here to all the San Diego sites we wanted to see with our toddler (Zoo, Children’s Museum, etc.) and made for a great home base. The house itself was very comfortable and clean, but if you are planning to do much cooking, the bottom rack of the dishwasher did not clean well at all and is either clogged or needs replacing. There also was no oil/salt/pepper around, or laundry detergent that we could find (we left some for the next guests). The only real problem we had was with the property manager. We had repeated issues ahead of the trip where we would call with a simple question, then get abandoned on hold for 25+ minutes with no response. Email similarly got answered a week later. Also had an issue where we had paid to rent a pack and play for our toddler to sleep in, and it wasn’t there the night we arrived so we had to buy one at Target (again, left at the house for the next guest should someone need one). I would 100% still stay at this property again, I would just plan to not rely on the property manager for anything.

Disappointing
Can't beat the location. No red curtains as pictured on the front porch. Numerous windows wouldn't open. Screens broken or missing all together and loaded with flies. Pots and pans were non-stick but the coating was penetrated and should have been disposed of; what little there was. Inadequate amount of fans. Water fall into hot tub didn't work. Outdoor shower wouldn't drain. Outside sitting area (back yard) you sunk so low in the chairs, we needed to help one another out of them. Minimal amount of kitchen accessories and were all mismatched. Dining room chairs horribly uncomfortable. Tiny shampoo, conditioner and soaps provided. 4 beach towels? No house manual. Garage light stayed on all night which overly illuminated the back yard area. Ran out of propane so had to switch gas fire pit tank for BBQ tank. 3rd bedroom day bed extremely uncomfortable.

Charming Beach Home poorly maintained
We loved the location and the charm of this home, but there were numerous issues. The old sub zero refrigerator worked some times and at other times stopping cooling. We lost food and medicine. The microwave was on its last leg and cooked unevenly. The kitchen could be stocked better for there were no baking sheets, cake or bread pans, pie dishes, hand mixer, and not much silverware, etc. The vacuum didn’t work. There is so much dust on fans, beams, and shelves that it triggered our allergies. The lawn care company came to service the home and sprayed Roundup on lawn where the kids were playing. We stopped them from doing this throughout the entire outdoor area, but we wondered why this was done while we were staying there and why they decided to spray the Roundup when they saw the kids playing on the front lawn. Not all the windows would open in the living room, which made this very warm. AC is only in 2 of 3 bedrooms, so having the windows open is needed. The window in kids room would not lock, which made it uncomfortable to have the kids sleep there. The property management company was easy to get a hold of but having actions taken took much longer. We received a mini frigerator at the end of stay, which helped. We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor fireplace. We would rent again if the items were fixed and the property was maintained better for the location is terrific and we loved this home. We wondered, if the owner is aware their property is not in good shape since it is being maintained by a management company.

Beautiful House. Beautiful Location.
Loved the porch! My favorite spot. We were greeted by a seal the day we arrived when we walked over to the beach. Many seals in the area. The location cannot be beat. It’s directly across a street that leads to the tide pools of La Jolla. We walked to all stores and restaurant which are about half mile or more away.
The living room and outdoor furniture are weathered and worn.
I did send several messages through VRBO days before arrival date and never got any response from property manager. Had to call them on phone after 5 days not responding. Vacasa is the managing company. Once you check-in Vacasa was great. Kept getting texts to touch base.
You can fit two cars in the driveway. We fit a minivan a and a Jetta. If you have a third car there are some spots on the street but look at parking signs restrictions. The third bedroom has a daybed with two twins that are separate. They cannot be joined together.
We were 3 couples and had a great time. The backyard too is a plus.
Thank you to the owners for opening up the space for others.
