This house is lovely oasis in LaJolla Shores…we walked the cliff walk from the house and walked around to charming coffee shops and little shops, restaurants and to the beach. Everything in the house is exactly what we needed. We hosted friends for dinner and spent a lovely holiday weekend with our son. Super clean, great communication, very comfortable beds. Would love to return.

A very well designed and arranged home. Nicely chosen furniture, comfortable seating and beds. Spotless. We had one small issue with an appliance that stopped working, and that was fixed on the same day. Couldn't ask for anything better. The location is also excellent

We wanted to get away and have a nice beach vacation that was low effort. This was the perfect spot for that! Short walk to the La Jolla Shores beach and to a bunch of restaurants, coffee shops, and other amenities. Property is exactly as advertised, well maintained, and clean. Parking in the garage was easy and great to have as street parking can be limited in this area.We would definitely book here again in the future.
