La Jolla Shores is a beach and popular vacation/residential community of the same name 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.

Rental was perfectly situated for an easy walk to the beach and to shops and restaurants. The area was very nice and a perfect home base for our vacation. Having a dedicated parking spot in the garage was helpful. Overall unit was comfortable and quiet and met our needs well. It was well-stocked with toilet paper, hand and dish soap, laundry soap and paper towels, which was appreciated. Both bathrooms are nicely updated and there were plenty of towels and beach towels.

Lovely property in a perfect location, especially for families. My family has been going to La Jolla Shores for years and you truly can’t beat this area. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in LaJolla shores with two block beach access and one block to a cute little shopping and dining area. Lots of extras (actually so many that it was difficult to find kitchen space for our own stuff!) Updated bathrooms and nice to have that parking space.

Perfect condo right off the main strip in La Jolla Shores. 1 block to the beach. Quiet, well appointed- great location!
6.0
The unit was comfortable but had several ‘flaws’ which surprised us:
1- no kleenex nor shower soap or shampoo
2- fireplace remote didn’t work despite my purchasing new batteries
3- remote driveway gate was very finicky and rarely closed completely so it was often open enough to walk through. Also, it closed on our rental car and scratched the door because it closed too quickly.
4- There were no instructions for the tv’s each of which had 3 remotes(I had to text the owner to figure out how to get them to work).
5- I also initially had difficulty getting the furnace to heat the place which was quite cold when we arrived(also required texting the owner).
6- We found it curious that despite the request to take short showers & conserve water, it took an inordinate amount of time to get warm/hot water from the bathroom faucet & showers which, of course, is a huge waste of water!
Regardless, the place is very well located, nice, comfortable & quiet. There are several good restaurants and coffee shops within a 2-3 block walk, and the beach is very close.

Ice maker not working guest bath not draining good. Lights hard to figure out. Nice home tho.
10.0
Our family has vacationed in La Jolla Shores many times over the years, and this condo might be our favourite spot yet.
The location is amazing, 2 blocks from the beach and close to shops - but far enough away to not feel busy. The underground parking is incredibly convenient. The condo itself feels light and airy and had enough space for our group of 6 adults + baby to stay comfortably.
The bathrooms and bedrooms have been updated and are fresh and modern, the kitchen is functional but feels a bit tired.
We enjoyed the quiet and private back patio + BBQ as well.
A great spot to stay in our favourite getaway.

Two families from Kansas and Arizona met up for a fun week in La Jolla. The location is perfect. Super close to the beach and walking distance to great restaurants. Centrally located to drive to anywhere within minutes. The property was clean and comfortable. We look forward to staying there again in the future. Thanks for hosting us.

My 20-year-old daughter and I stayed here for four nights in January 2023 after having spent three nights in a downtown San Diego hotel. The home was easy to find and although I was nervous about getting the key out of the key-holder , it was fine. We didn't actually use the garage right away, as street parking was plentiful. Toward the end of the week, things seemed busier so we parked in the garage. I was worried I'd have trouble parking in the assigned spot but even with a small SUV (VW Tiguan), there was no problem. Definitely a plus to have the garage when we needed it. Walking in to the home, you could smell that the house had been recently cleaned and everything was in its place. My daughter and I loved each having our own room and bathroom after having been sharing a hotel room. Based on past reviews, I was worried that things like toilet paper, paper towels, etc. wouldn't be provided, but when I arrived, there was one roll of toilet paper in one of the bathrooms, as well as hand soap. There were laundry detergent pods and dryer sheets for the washer/dryer. The kitchen had paper towels and dish soap and garbage bags. We just had to run to the corner store for toilet paper and tissues, which wasn't a problem at all, since the home is literally right around the corner from the "main street" at La Jolla Shores. (Just be prepared to have to grab a few things when you get there.) This main street has the market, restaurants, coffee shops, bike/kayak rentals, and some retail shops. Around the other corner is a short walk to the beach, which was my favorite part of the home. The beach is beautiful--relatively small, but we saw sunrises and sunsets and did a kayak tour and just walked along the sidewalk, enjoying the palm trees and watching the surfers descend on the beach each morning. Having a washer and dryer was a lifesaver to us, as we didn't want to check bags so brought a minimal wardrobe. We did probably four loads of laundry. We also enjoyed the private patio, which was located off the main bedroom. It was nice to have a place outside to eat. Overall, the house had almost everything I was looking for (separate bedrooms, w/d, parking, outside patio). The only thing that would have made this home better would have been a hot tub, but I guess you can't have it all! I didn't have to contact the owners at all, so can't speak to responsiveness. Overall, I can 100% recommend this VRBO to folks traveling to the beautiful La Jolla area.

This is our second time staying at this home. It’s the perfect size, and the location is great. The parking spot is like winning the lottery. Since we were there the first time in 2021, one of the bathrooms was renovated, and they did an amazing job. I actually preferred it over the master bath! The place has everything you need; games, puzzles, beach toys, chairs, wagons. We will absolutely stay here again and again.
