This was our end of summer beach trip/my birthday trip and we all just needed to relax and swim in the ocean. This home was perfect for us. It is in the midst of some very cute surf shops, restaurants, ice cream shop that you just happen to walk through on your very short walk to the beach. The home is nice and clean with plenty of indoor and outdoor places to gather, and the bedrooms are nicely separated if you want a little space from kids. The owners were also lovely and checked in on us many times. We had a small maintenance issue that I felt so bad happened on our watch and the owner was so communicative and took care of it right away with a these things happen kind of attitude. I really appreciated the hosts so much! We would absolutely return to this home and La Jolla in the future!

We've been staying at Marilyn's cottage for years - it's our absolute favorite place in La Jolla. The cottage is immaculate and super close to shops/restaurants and La Jolla Shores beach. Marilyn is a gem and always responsive if little issues pop up during our stay. We look forward to returning year after year.
