La Jolla is situated on the Pacific Ocean. Our house is a 10 minute walk from all the attractions. Along the dramatic coastline lies Scripps Park, where families can picnic throughout the summer, while enjoying Fourth of July fireworks and concerts under the stars. Just south of the park is the Children’s Pool, where a seawall was originally built to protect kids from incoming waves, but has been long taken over by a local seal colony. At some times of the year swimming is no longer permitted, but you can walk out along the seawall for a close-up view of the wildlife.

La Jolla is also home to Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institute of Oceanography and plenty of cultural attractions including the La Jolla Playhouse and the Museum of Contemporary Art, all situated in close proximity to The Village, and our house. The University of San Diego, which hosts the popular Geisel Library and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, are both located in La Jolla as well, a short car or bus ride up the coast from our house.

La Jolla's biggest draw for locals and visitors alike are the beautiful beaches. During the summer and autumn months, the surf is relatively gentle, with warm waters in 70s. Swimmers, snorkelers, scuba divers, kayakers and surfers can enjoy the golden sands of La Jolla Shores, the Cove and Windansea, all within walking distance of the house. And be sure to keep an eye out for migrating whales off the coast as they travel to and from Baja California.

We loved the location of the house as the ocean was just down the street. We didn’t cook or hang out much in the house but if you wanted to cook, the kitchen was nice. The bed was very comfortable, there was cable TV so we could watch the daily news which was a nice change from streaming apps. Rita provided lots of beach equipment and beach towels. The backyard was beautiful with a huge magnolia tree blooming. Rita was a lovely lady and we truly enjoyed chatting with her when we saw her. It was our 8th anniversary trip and we filled it with as many things we could, ending our week going to a Bacon Brothers concert in San Juan Capistrano that was awesome as always.

What a wonderful stay. Rita is a fantastic host, checking in on our needs the first night and responsive to any questions throughout the stay. Her recommendations were spot on ( in fact we went back a second day to the taco place she recommended… it was that good). The property was cute, cozy, immaculate and close to so much . An easy walk to the beach and local restaurants and about 15-20 minutes to drive to many attractions including Sea World which we unexpectedly ended up visiting 3 times with our fun pass as our youngest was 2 inches above height restrictions and able to ride all the roller coasters for the first time. We packed in so much fun throughout the week. The girls are already asking when we can go back.

We had a fantastic holiday in Rita’s cottage. Rita has thought through what is important in a holiday home and provided it. Easy access to a Sandy beach, restaurants, bars and supermarket. The cottage has a lovely homely feel. We’d try to book here first if coming back.

Perfect beach cottage in a great location! We appreciated the quiet neighborhood, while being minutes away from the downtown experience. We also loved being minutes from the beach, shopping, and food. Rita was great to work with and she was an excellent communicator. We loved that the beach necessities were provided. We loved everything! We would stay here again!

We were so pleased with everything about this lovely cottage. All of the amenities were just perfect for our stay And, let me just say, Rita was a charm! So personable and accommodating- not enough words to describe. The location is ideal too with so many things like the beach, parks, restaurants and more, all in walking distance.

We really enjoyed our Thanksgiving holiday in this cozy house. The location is great, it's a quick walk down to a lovely, quiet beach and a wide variety of restaurants and shops. The neighborhood is quiet as advertised, but you’re only a short distance from more action if you want it. Our host Rita was helpful and responsive and made sure that all our needs were met and questions were answered. We’d definitely stay again when we’re in the area.
