Close to the beach, only a couple blocks away…the area was safe and a short walk to shops, restaurants, stores etc. House is older, cute and charming. There was a musty smell throughout the house in case that bothers you (we just opened all the windows to air it out and it was fine :)

Great location just a few minutes walk from the beach, and we made use of the multiple provided beach towels. The house had everything we need for a small family getaway to La Jolla. It’s an older house, but has been well maintained. Like many houses in the area, there is not dedicated parking, but we never had to park more than a block away, and usually found a spot within 100 feet. There are plenty of good food options in the area, some in walking distance.

The property is old but it was very clean and decorated really cute. I wish the old windows were a little easier to open since there is no air conditioning and it did get hot and humid during the day and a bit musty smelling. Other than that, it was in a great location next to restaurants/shops and the beach. Overall, it worked out well for our young family.

The location is great, walking distance to so many restaurants and coffee shops. I felt safe staying on the property. It was a 5 min walk to the beach. Overall it’s a good place, but it is definitely warn down. For the price per night, I’d expect more care put into the appearance in the house, example cracks are in multiple places, paint chips, mirrors are all at a very awkward and high height. If you’re looking for something more “budget” friendly and in a great location for both walking and a short drive into town, I’d recommend.

Our family loves La Jolla, especially this location which is so close to many of our favorite sites to visit. It's a short walk to a beautiful beach and you can even walk to restaurants. The Cottage is very bright and even has a backyard with furniture. It's a great neighborhood.

Everything is as described, except for some of the upgraded furniture including a large sectional couch in the living room and a large cabana tent over the patio space.
