About this property

Guest House

This is one truly adorable guest home that you will not want to miss. It is a block away from the breathtaking beach. Perfectly located 1/2 a mile between the famous Wind n Sea Beach and La Jolla Cove. Come park your car and never have to get back in it! Conveniently located on the Bike Path, great for walks or jogging. A short 1/2 mile from Village for shopping, restaurants, coffee shops and grocery stores. The home has been completely remodeled, flat screen TV in the living area and bedroom, a queen size Tempur-Pedic bed, bamboo wood floors in the kitchen and living space, out door heated shower to wash off at when coming back from the beach, washer and dryer and private entrance...No expense was spared. If you want to experience La Jolla this is the place for you.

Everything we were looking for
This is a lovely accommodation in a great location. It was so nice to have some living space to relax and enjoy. The photos are spot on. We walked to the beach (access is 1 block away), grocery store, and restaurants in La Jolla. John is a gracious and thoughtful host. We would definitely come back

Beautiful spot less than two blocks to the La Jolla Beach
This is a wonderful find! From the location, to the beautiful vaulted ceiling, to the well spaced kitchen, this lovely place has it all. Everything was clean, well, organized, secure, quiet, and just two blocks from the ocean. There were two large TVs that have Internet access so you can watch Netflix and Hulu as well as a great little secluded patio to eat your meals. While driving there is ideal and we rented a car, there’s a lot of walking opportunities, including the grocery store and many dining Places within less than a mile walk. On top of that, John lives on site and is extremely helpful and friendly and always willing to lend a hand if needed. 5 stars across the board. We will definitely be coming back!

The place itself is spotless and beautifully decorated with everything you need for a visit. John is a lovely host available to respond to questions but not at all intrusive. Hoping to stay again - highly recommended!

Great property!
This property was amazing. Beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything you may need. Only 2 blocks from the beach and short walk to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed having coffee and cocktails on the front deck with the ocean view. John was very nice and accommodating. I would definitely return.

Lovely little guest house
The guesthouse was very clean and tastefully decorated. Comfortable bed, complimentary bottle of wine - which was delicious, beach chairs and well equipped kitchen. An easy walk to the beach which was great but meant parking was hard to find at times. Lots of shops and restaurants close by. Since the porch with the view of the beach is at the front of the main house, I didn't make use of the space as I had intended. All in all a very nice place to stay with a gracious host.

Wonderful cottage!! And great hosts!!
Certainly! Here's a 5-star review for a wonderful cottage stay: --- I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming cottage, and it was truly an exceptional experience! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The cottage itself is beautifully maintained, with every detail thoughtfully considered to ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay. The interior is cozy and tastefully decorated, making it feel like a true home away from home. The kitchen is well-equipped, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and the living area is perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The outdoor space is equally delightful, offering stunning views and a peaceful setting to enjoy nature. The location is fantastic, providing easy access to local beach and restaurants while still offering a tranquil retreat. Whether you're looking to explore the surrounding area or simply relax, this cottage is the perfect choice. John and Katie went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring everything was perfect. Their attention to detail and genuine care for their guests truly set this place apart. I can't recommend this cottage highly enough. It exceeded all our expectations. If you're looking for a perfect getaway, this is the place to be!

A Gem by the Sea
We enjoyed a month at the owner's property immensely. Ideally located just a 2-minute walk from the beach and 10 minutes into downtown La Jolla, we rarely used our car. The rental is nicely decorated with outside areas easily accessible to enjoy an ocean view and the great weather. It's ideal situation for two people. The host lives adjacent to the property and is very accommodating regarding any request. We highly recommend the property and look forward to a future stay when in the area.

We loved our stay. Again! We stayed here last year and liked it so much we came back! John is a wonderful host, the house is beautiful, and the location is ideal. We stayed for 3 weeks and walked everywhere. The beach is right down the street and the sunsets are magnificent. We can't wait to come back.

Excellent Location and Excellent Host
Outstanding location waking distance to the village with many restaurant and shopping option, you can see the beach from the property. John was great with his hospitality and great suggestions. Kitchen was well equipped to easily cook meals if you choose. Bed was very comfortable and the whole place was very clean. Couldn't ask for anything better. Epic run along the coast with outstanding views with close up sightings of sea lions and harbor seals and pelicans. Great shopping in the village.

La Jolla Paradise
This little carriage house was so adorable and had everything we needed. Just two blocks from the ocean and a short walk to downtown, it could not have been more convenient for our idyllic La Jolla getaway. Plenty of street parking, an attentive and informative host, and paradise right at our fingertips. I highly recommend and definitely plan on attending.
