Great property. Easy walk to the ocean. Easy walk to shopping, restaurants, and bars. And as close as it is to everything, it was really quiet at night for sleeping.

Perfect Location!

My family of 4, 2 adults and 2 tweens really enjoyed this property. It was the perfect size for us. Really well decorated, with comfy beds and relaxing space. It is the perfect location with access to the beach and right by all the shops and restaurants! We had the best time!

We spent a long weekend in La Jolla & it was fabulous! This was the perfect house! The house was beautiful & very clean!!! I cannot say enough about how fabulous the location is! We were within walking distance to so many shops, restaurants & the cove. And the communication from Cody & the team was great!

Perfect Stay in La Jolla

We were blown away by the attention to detail in this home. The design and layout, the personality of the rooms and spaces, the accessibility to the beach, shops and coves. Even the selection of books found around the house were incredibly interesting, beautiful and appropriate to the space and the home. We had four kids there and everything felt perfectly cozy, with plenty of room to spread out between six of us. We have never enjoyed a space more than this one. The only regret we had was that we couldn't stay longer. We will be back.
