About this house rental

Every aspect of our charming, completely renovated bungalow is thoughtfully designed to reflect our love of the San Diego beaches right down to the ocean sunset colors. With a fun retro vibe and surf decor, this completely upgraded beach bungalow is the perfect retreat -- just a short walk to all the fun that La Jolla has to offer! Wake up and stroll to one of several nearby beaches, take a quick walk to La Jolla Village for cool coffee shops, restaurants and shopping, or visit the tidepools. And remember you are also just a quick hop, skip, and a jump away from everything else San Diego has to offer!

The open concept kitchen and extended living room make this beach bungalow feel significantly more spacious than similar 1-bedroom bungalows in the area. The kitchen is complete with a full sized stove/oven and microwave plus a table for 4, the living room has a 50” Smart TV, and the bedroom even features a KING sized bed!  

The living room also has a convertible sofa. The orange one is a European style that converts to a queen sized bed (much sturdier feeling when in “bed mode” than the traditional sofa beds we all grew up with) and is located in an area of the living room that makes it easy to leave the sofa in “bed mode” for the entire stay, if desired, while still maintaining a functioning living room in the remaining space, where a new Love Seat style couch adds to your overall seating.

The house is located on its own private lot on a quiet residential street. It is tucked back behind another house (that’s why we call it The Hidden Gem!) and comes complete with private parking for 3-4 cars and a spacious private yard that is fully enclosed (great for kids and pets) -- which is hard to come by this close to the beach!

These old beach cottages all have their quirks -- The Hidden Gem’s quirk is that you need to go through the bathroom to get to the bedroom. The good news is that the bedroom is also easily accessed through an exterior sliding glass door which is just steps away from the back kitchen door - so it is easy for everyone to get where they need to go even when the house is full!

There is a brand-new gas grill in the yard and Boogie boards and beach gear are also provided.

Everyone loves a fun beach getaway.  Come relax and enjoy this tastefully designed, unique Retro Surf Cottage!

Great little cottage for a family of 3. It was an easy walk to many great restaurants and beaches. Where we are not beach people (in town for a sports tournament), the house was stocked with beach towels, 2 beach chairs and boogie boards.) Easy drive to many other San Diego area attractions. One thing to note, we are from an area of the country where AC is a given and didn’t realize the lack of any mention of AC in the property description was an indication of no AC. The house was very hot when we first arrived but it did cool down by opening all the windows. The yard had nice shaded and sunny areas and we were comfortable inside (with windows open) and outside.

My wife, 10 month old daughter, and two small poodles spent the week at The Hidden Gem 7/6/24 to 7/13/24 to get out of the Arizona heat for a week. We chose it based on location (all walking times): 5 minutes from the beach, 5 minutes from a market, 7 minutes from restaurants, and about 15 minutes from the main downtown area. Plus it had a king bed and a fenced yard so the dogs could roam and we could comfortably sit outside. Other Positives: Tidy upon arrival, owner responded immediately about a question I had, great shower pressure, tucked away from street, Roku TV. Biggest downside, and it is no fault of the place itself as we knew it going into it, but it had no dishwasher. With a kid and cooking a few times, we (my wife 90% of the time) felt like we were constantly doing dishes. Keep that in mind if you plan on staying for an extended period of time and don't plan on eating out every single meal. I did tell the owner about a few minor tweaks to enhance the stay of future renters: 1) the floor was swept fine, but not washed as our feet were pretty dirty (including our daughter's) about only after an hour of arriving 2) the grill needs to be updated as the outside and inside are rusted rendering it unusable and 3) more amenities in the kitchen, including Tupperware, saran wrap, aluminum foil, etc. No major issues though as we enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this place for a long weekend getaway if you want to be near everything!

Cute little place. Served its purpose for our vacay. The yard is lovely and private. Probably best for 2 adults and a small child.

Quiet and peaceful, cool breezes in the evening that cooled the place down quickly, easy walk to great beaches. We really enjoyed ourselves, and would highly recommend this place for a nice getaway.

This property was great I would stay again. It’s perfect for anyone with small children, enclosed fence while you don’t have to worry about them playing outside. A lot of greenery and privacy. A few non-essential amenities they listed were not available so I recc. Communicating with the host about anything important that you might need during your stay. The communication with our host was great and we had a wonderful during our stay.
