Great location

Our family had a great time here and found everything we needed stocked for four nights. The beds and sleeping arrangements were comfortable and there was plenty of kitchen tools stocked. I would only suggest that management look into the lights. There were a few lights flickering in every room.

Even better than the pictures and write up. Plenty of space for our family of five. Kitchen is well stocked, location to groceries, shops and water all a quick walk. Decks are showing their age but in a costly area, we thought this house was great. AvantStay was quick to replay with any questions and house was very clean.

Amazing location in La Jolla!

The beautiful property is located near the village of La Jolla, CA, tucked away on a quiet street but so close to all of the shops/restaurants. We had the best time being so close to everything. The house is super cute and was a perfect fit for our family for the week. We enhanced our stay with the "stocked fridge" option and appreciated this being done for us upon our arrival. The house is well maintained and the Avant Team were an absolute pleasure to work with! We would highly recommend this property to any looking at staying in SoCal!

Great location

I wanted to share some feedback on the house -- I do a lot of travel, and when all is said and done, we paid 1K/night here in Aug 2020. With that cost, we expected more. The good -- -great location; you can walk down to JL Cove, shopping and restaurants in 5 minutes. -cute furnishings -clean hardwood floors -decent kitchen Things that need attention- -the bed in the master is HARD AS A ROCK, I mean it has no give at all. Terrible to sleep on all week. -the twin beds are so soft you can feel the coils in your back. Both of my kids could not sleep on them. One ended up on the sofa and the other with my Mom in the room with the queen bed. -the walls and baseboards are grungy and dirty -- especially in the master bathroom where the grout is also SO dirty. The shower walls are mildewed. -the paint throughout the home is peeling or marked up. The entire interior needs a thorough, fresh paint job -the 'beach chairs' are not really beach chairs and the boogie boards are old and not good -the towels are OLD and stained and terrible quality. It's in dire need of a new nice set of regular towels and beach towels.

Not close to a beach.

This house is not close to a beach which is suitable for swimming or even walking on the sand. It is only close to cliffs.

Darling bungalow!

Pros: This house is just as cute as the photos! Cozy home with comfy beds and accommodations. It is a darling vintage home that has been updated. I'd rent it again! Cons: The rear deck was rotted in placed with holes, windows were sticky to open. One side of the pretty outdoor table with chairs is on the edge of the multi level deck. Slide a chair back and could fall off. Shower handle in the guest bathroom is a bit confusing figuring out hot/cold water. Parking off street is tight but worked. Garbage cans were full upon arrival but management was quick to take it away.
