We had a delightful stay and appreciated the host's hospitality. Highly recommend this lovely studio!

10.0 / 10.0

We had an amazing time staying at this little cottage in La Jolla. Very clean room with lots of extra amenities and a nice balcony view of the neighborhood. Mark and Marty were very helpful and kind to us during our stay, and we would love to come back again!

4.0 / 10.0

This place has the potential to be amazing, especially considering its location. However, the lack of cleanliness, particularly in the bathroom, significantly detracted from the experience. It’s particularly disappointing because there’s a cleaning fee for the listing. The shower looked like it hadn’t been deep-cleaned in years. Hair surrounded an empty body wash bottle, and the shampoo and conditioner bottles appeared dirty. The soap bottle was empty, and there was hair around the sink and the drawers. The overall cleanliness made me feel like I had crashed at a friend’s house last minute who hadn’t had a chance to clean, rather than a Vrbo I had paid hundreds of dollars for.

10.0 / 10.0

Incredible location and immaculate room. The neighborhood is very quiet and you can walk to many restaurants and coffee shops. The room is pretty much a big comfy bed, nice bath, and small kitchen with a lovely deck. Our hosts were away, so we spent time in their great backyard patio/garden. Biking to Pacific Beach every day was AMAZING. Marty was super communicative and helpful throughout.

The rental was perfect. It's in a quiet, clean and safe neighborhood, located closer to the beach than I had expected. Owners were very nice and helpful. I will be back in the future.

10.0 / 10.0

Great location and the space is lovely. Hosts were friendly, responsive and respectful of our privacy. Overall we had a great time and would recommend for a couple.

10.0 / 10.0

The bed was extremely comfortable. The whole room and setup were just right. The bottle of wine was a nice extra. I appreciated all the little extras provided, to compensate for some items we forgot to pack. I would absolutely stay there again.

10.0 / 10.0

The property was perfect for our stay. Loved the quiet mornings reading on the balcony. Easy walk to a coffee shop and a short drive to the beach. The owners are super nice and helpful (they even mailed back my lost AirPod). This is the second year in a row we’ve stayed there and the experience, as before, was exceptional.

Perfect size room and location for our 3 night stay. Close to a variety of coffee shops and restaurants. Was a little nervous about the pull out couch, but it and the pillows were very comfortable. Beautiful neighborhood to walk around. Hosts were very responsiveness. The trees have grown, so no ocean view from the balconey, but very nice none the less.

This studio rental is set on a beautiful property, in what has become one of my favorite parts of the San Diego area. The walk to stores, shopping, wine, coffee, restaurants, and a great bakery is just a matter of a few short blocks. The space itself is outfitted with everything that you should need to enjoy your stay. Highly recommend.

Nice place to stay if you're ever lucky enough to be in La Jolla. Sunny studio with kitchenette and big TV screen. Excellent location only a few miles from downtown La Jolla in a safe neighborhood. Highly recommended. NB: especially good if you need to park a car whether day or night.

Marty and Mark supplied toiletries,shampoo, extra blankets, even a heater, paper towels. They even supplied more than a weeks worth of coffee. Mini kitchen was cute, it had a nice touch if you wanted to cook in the kitchen. My family and I were at the location for one week stay. It was peaceful, easy to get to. Nice neighborhood. It was clean. The extra blankets was nice. The outdoor patio was nice to catch some sunshine.

The La Jolla cottage was perfect for our long weekend visit for a family member’s wedding. The hosts were fabulous, super-accommodating, and helpful. They let us in early, gave us great restaurant suggestions, and have such a beautiful space. It worked great short-term for 2 adults and 1 kid, the pullout couch was surprisingly comfortable. We loved walking down to the beach for sunset and then sitting on the balcony in the evenings.

6.0 / 10.0

We stayed in the apartment for 6 nights. We chose to try an apartment on this visit rather than a hotel. We thought a privately owned unit would be cleaner & nicer. The neighborhood, the surroundings, and setting are lovely. The apartment itself has the potential to be wonderful. The cleanliness was in question. IE: The walls up towards the vaulted ceilings have many cobwebs. There is mold on the shower curtain. There is an inch of dust/grime on the blades of the ceiling fan. I won’t go on….the apartment just needs a good cleaning with attention to detail. BTW…. We had a great week in San Diego!

The code on the door would not work, luckily my son was only 15 min. away, stayed in the hide a bed. Could find any assistance first night. Next morning Mark called and thing got back to normal. Very nice location and rental. Slept real good.

Loft above the garage was accurate as described on VRBO. Location was nice. Many places to eat within walking distance. No issues checking in. Only complaint was lack of internet access. Some issue with WiFi and couldnt connect to alternate provided. Little bit of an inconvenience but we still enjoyed our stay here.

10.0 / 10.0

My husband is 6 foot seven and 290 pounds so we weren’t sure at first if we pull out bed couch with memory foam with accommodate him or comfortable, but we actually had a great night sleep every night. We also slept with the windows open and the screen door because the owners have planted fruits and Jasmine and they smell incredible all night. The air was perfumed. It’s a darling spot and if you have a big, tall man in your life, he will feel right at home too. Tall ceiling as well and we loved the cushions on the patio chairs too.
