The Neighborhood:

La Jolla Shores is a beach and popular vacation/residential community of the same name ideally situated in La Jolla, San Diego, California. The quaint La Jolla Shores business district is a relaxed, mixed use village encircling Laureate Park, on Avenida de la Playa in the village of La Jolla Shores.



The village has several fine dining restaurants as well as plenty of casual dining spaces, shops, and a few galleries. You can take surf lessons and rent surfboards, boogie boards, paddle boards and wetsuits from Surf Diva. Kayak, snorkel and bike tours are available at San Diego Bike and Kayak.



The beach is approximately one mile long and stretches from the sea cliffs just north of La Jolla Cove to Black's Beach south of Torrey Pines State Park. The Shores meets Scripps Institute of Oceanography campus and Kellogg Park (with an ideal kids playground and picnic area right next to the beach), encompasses the Scripps Pier and borders the San Diego - La Jolla Underwater Park Ecological Reserve to the south. The beach is a popular launch point for kayakers and has a swimming area only as well as a surfing area only.



Getting Around:

We are located in a family friendly, quiet neighborhood located in close proximity to beautiful La Jolla Shores Beach. A wonderful array of restaurants and cafes, ice cream, frozen yogurt, coffee and dessert shops, a neighborhood market, kayak, paddle board and bike rentals along with great shopping are all located on Avenida De La Playa, one block away. You will be close to everything, but without the noise. This house offers prime location that is hard to beat.

Location is unmatched and the space is wonderful! Kitchen and bathrooms are dated, but charming!

The view was spectacular. The home was clean with quirky details:metal cabinets and Formica countertops. The hosts were very responsive and welcoming. Only one concern raised by my guests-the outdated tubs and showers. With no grab bars, they pose a slip and fall concern.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
Great location with parking that makes it easy to enjoy the area. The highlight for us was sitting on the patio each night while the sun set.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2024
Our overall experience staying here was negative. While the location is ideal and views are undeniably incredible, we felt the condition of the home was unsuitable for our young child. After booking, we raised specific concerns about the property, but the host's responses were inconsistent. Following a six-hour car trip with an 18 month old, we arrived and found our initial concerns to be valid and we weren’t comfortable staying. we had to quickly book a hotel so we had a place for our family to go. The host refused to refund us even partially… had they been more forthcoming about things we specifically asked about, we just simply would not have made the journey out. Be aware, this host will be helpful and accommodating until money is involved. They declined to partially refund us due to the cancellation policy, stating that we were making things up to get a refund. When really we were just seeking to help cover the extra money we were out due to their guidance. This house would probably be great for an older crowd. We would not recommend this place for families with really young children who are currently in the “everything in the mouth stage”. VRBO should share more details about a home prior to booking as so many policies are non-refundable a ridiculous 60 days prior. When it comes to the wellbeing of our child we will always opt for taking the financial loss over compromising what we feel is safe. Lesson Learned.
