Classic, old school , very comfortable, relaxed feel good space. Sweet garden to hang out in. Good vibes abound. Right across street from the beach and the excellent Caroline‘s Café. Perfect for beach walks and minutes from Scripps medical center.

Great location. Clean house with all the features in the listing. I loved that I heard ocean waves at might with the window open.

We booked Joyce’s Charming Cottage for our group of 3 when visiting family in San Diego and we were not disappointed! The cottage could easily and comfortably accommodate 5-6 adults. Imagine staying in your grandma’s cottage, if your grandma had eclectic taste. It was updated where it needed to be, yet warm and inviting. The kitchen was stocked with everything necessary to prepare and serve all meals. The primary bedroom suite was spacious, comfortable and has an ocean view. In the secondary bedroom we were lulled to sleep by the babbling pond. The cottage was spotless and had plenty of towels and bedding. We went to the beach everyday as it was literally a 2 minute walk, beach chairs, towels, umbrella, and boogie boards were available for our use by our host Joyce. There was plenty of parking for us and our visitors. The outdoor patios were lovely to have our morning coffee or afternoon cocktails on, though the actual grounds could have used a little TLC. We were close enough to downtown San Diego (20 min by car) and about a 10 minute drive to the shops and restaurants in LaJolla. Not to be missed is the LaJolla Shores business area for their small shops and eateries, which is a 1/2 mile walk from the cottage. Joyce’s cottage is a hidden gem in LaJolla Shores!
6 / 10Average·May 2026
The location was very convenient. We had plenty of parking. The cottage was very roomy. Beds very comfortable. Clean. I want to give it a better rating than a 3 but it was very tired looking. Needs a lot of sprucing up, some updating. At one time the landscaping must have been amazing but now weeds and very overgrown. For the first introduction to the property to be a broken entrance gate is not a good look.
