This was our fourth time staying at Terrie's place. Love the location and working with Terrie. We won't stay anywhere else in La Jolla!!

The location was great and it was really wonderful having everything you would need for the beach provided. We just loaded up the wagon and spent the day at the beach several times. Many great restaurants on the walk to the beach, a fun environment for our family of four.

Everything about our stay was perfect and mirrored the many five star reviews this gem and its delightful owner garner. The property is ideally located a pleasant short walk to the beach; the beach itself is terrific for just about any beach activity from vigorous to lazy and great for all generations of a family. The surrounding little neighborhood is charming, fun and lively; it’s summer happy with enough little shops and a range of restaurants to keep you local if you choose. The garage parking is a dream: We appreciated it each time we took the car out. The unit itself is perfect. Everything you could think of has been thoughtfully put there in this sparkling clean, relaxing space. Very well outfitted with comfortable beds and highly functional and inviting living spaces.
Terrie is the most helpful and competent owner you could ever meet. She goes above and beyond in all ways. Thank you Terrie!! We can’t wait to come back next summer!!

We love spending our yearly family vacations at this wonderful condo. It's clean and stocked. The condo comes with a wagon, beach toys, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, etc. It is well-equipped with shower towels, games, books, dishes, and cooking ware. It's walking distance from the beach, great shops, and wonderful restaurants. Terrie is the best!!! Additional info: We ate at Piatta's, Brick & Bell, Sandpiper, & Barbarella's. The shops are great, especially Ocean Girl downstairs; CUTE stuff at reasonable prices and superb customer service. Everyday CA was great for Kayak rentals and SEA Surf school was a hit with the teens. During, this visit, we caught a musical at the La Jolla Theater; it was amazing. During some day trips out, we went to the museums, hiked a slot canyon, and did a Star Trek VR Experience at the mall. Always a great time in San Diego, and this condo is located near so much cool stuff. For reference, our kids are 16, 14, & 8. This condo is great for ALL, especially for families or girls' weekend! Thank you, Terrie, for another wonderful visit!!

We have stayed here three times and I can’t imagine staying anywhere else! The owner, Terrie, is the absolute best! She brought over supplies for us before hurricane Hillary hit because she was worried about us! The place is always clean for our stay and well appointed for any cooking needs. Can’t wait to visit again!

This was our third time staying at this property because we love it so much! There is the perfect amount of space for our family of 4 (including 2 teenagers) to hang out. Terrie is such a thoughtful host! The location is perfect - close to a ton of cute restaurants and shops. Description is very accurate, as are the pictures. Everything you need for a week at the beach is included (toys, towels, coolers, wagon and boogie boards). Highly recommend this property!!

My family and I enjoyed another awesome vacation at this condo in La Jolla. This is our ninth summer renting this great condo; we have also visited during spring break and Thanksgiving. This condo is the perfect girlfriend or family getaway spot. It is clean and well-kept up. It has everything you need for beach trips, activities, and food options. The kitchen is fully stocked. Towels, paper goods, beach towels/wagon/toys and umbrella are available. There’s a convenient garage parking as well.
We stayed for 12 days during this visit. During our stay, we enjoyed the playground at the beach daily. We added the San Diego haunted tour and the Seal Tour to our itinerary; both were awesome. We also enjoyed renting, paddle boards and kayaks from La Jolla Kayak.
Terrie is the best! She always kind, responsive, and accommodating. We are already looking forward to next summer’s trip!!

I stayed here with my husband and two boys (ages 3 and 5) and it was perfect for us. Location was ideal with a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants and dining. Also central for our trips to the zoo, safari park, USS Midway, and Coronado. The place was equipped with everything we needed and the owner was incredibly responsive to our questions. We’re already talking about planning another trip back to stay here again!

We've used vrbo the last 10+ years domestically and internationally and I've never had a listing more accurate than this one. It was a perfect week in La Jolla Shores. Terrie was an excellent hostess right from the beginning. She provided excellent communication and customer service. It was our first time to this area and she gave us loads of recommendations. She checked in with us before we traveled, once we'd arrived and was always punctual via text when we had questions.
The house was perfect for us; traveling as a family we have 3 teenagers. Enough space for everyone, 2 bathrooms, big kitchen/lounge area. Our 6'3" son found the couch and pull out bed comfortable. Abundant supply of bath towels, linens, blankets/pillows, beach towels, kitchen supplies, beach chairs. The garage was so helpful as we found parking to be a challenge everywhere.
The location of the house is fantastic! Short walk to the beach, restaurants, small market and ice cream. We appreciated a few days where we didn't even get in the car. While it's an active street during the day, inside the house and at night it's peaceful. We didn't have any noise concerns and we were here over a holiday weekend. Terrie was a fantastic hostess, the apartment was perfect and made for a wonderful week! Definitely 5 Stars from us!

We stayed at this property in June and it was perfect for our family of 4, including two littles. It was just as described and as the pictures showed. The location is perfect; it’s walking distance to the beach and steps from restaurants that were all family friendly. I was a little nervous if the location would be loud at night, but as described in the posting and other reviews, it is quiet at night despite being so close to everything. We cooked breakfast every day and had all the kitchen supplies we would need plus more than enough options for the beach including chairs and toys.
Terri the host sent the check in instructions early and checked on what we needed for our littles, which was appreciated. She also checked in to make sure everything was going ok. We would definitely stay here again!

This was our second time staying in this unit. It is a perfect location for easy access to La Jolla Shores beach and all the restaurants in La Jolla Shores by walking just a matter of steps. The unit is perfect for our family of four, including two toddlers. My kids love all the toys and kids books in the unit. The unit is super clean, fully stocked kitchen and plenty of beach gear. The garage is also a plus if you have a rental car, which we did. We will definitely be back again!

Beautiful, comfortable apartment equipped with everything you need, located 2 blocks from the beach and a stone's throw from great coffee shops and restaurants. Best of all, Terrie, the host, was thoughtful and helpful throughout, and she was exceptionally generous and flexible when we needed to extend our stay. A wonderful person and a wonderful place.

We visited this property over Thanksgiving. The property is in wonderful condition and is a great place to prepare a holiday meal. It is equipped with All-Clad cookware, ample bakeware and good knives that had been recently sharpened. The oven was large enough for all of our dishes to bake at the same time and cooked evenly.
The living area is very comfortable and provided a cozy place for the family to gather.
The location is perfect—easy walking distance to the great restaurants on Avenida de la Playa and 10 minutes walk to the beach.
This was our second stay at the property and we hope to have a third stay in the spring.

Family San Diego vacation
Great property. Pictures do not do this rental justice. Terrie was a great host and location and proximity to beach was great! It was close to downtown, 20 mins drive at most to most tourist attractions we visited. If our family goes to San Diego again, we would definitely look into staying here again! Thank you Terrie

La Jolla Shores
This VRBO experience was 5 star from first communications with the owner through checkout. The apartment is very roomy and is nicely decorated. The kitchen is well equipped and the knives were even sharp. That is unusual for a vacation rental. There was ample bedding. My sister slept on the sofa and said it was comfortable as a bed. I had been concerned about our bedroom being on the main street but things are quiet in La Jolla Shores by 10:00. We hope to come back to this one. I recommend it highly. Terrie is great!

Very special home in La Jolla Shores
This beautiful, immaculate, and centrally located apartment in La Jolla Shores is so special that my husband and young child try to stay here whenever we are in San Diego. Terrie, the owner and host, is incredibly gracious, wonderful, generous and communicative, and she will make you feel like you are in a truly exceptional place, and you are! This unit has such a warm & positive feeling, aside from every comfort and amenity you could possibly need. Plenty of room to spread out, dedicated parking spot in private garage, and all the beach towels, chairs, and toys you could need. The location could not be better, right on the main street of Shores, just steps from the beach, but quiet and peaceful. My family and I are so grateful to the owners! Highly recommended, don't think twice about it!

Fabulous location; effortless rental.
If you would like the comforts of home, this is the place. We have found that rentals where the owners once lived are most comfortable, and this one was indeed. It has all the little things that make a stay effortless--hooks for the towels, a place for the wet swimsuits, great instructions. The location cannot be beat. You can walk to the beach, the restaurants, the coffee shops and two local groceries. Excellent guidance from the owners.

The property owner was so friendly and available. Everything was provided. Steps away from coffee shops, restaurants and a nice beach. Great location. Felt very safe. So happy we picked this spot.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Week
We stayed for a week . Terrie’s home had plenty of room for us and 2 adult kids. Kitchen was well equipped, allowing us to cook Thanksgiving dinner with ease. LJ Shores neighborhood is delightful with several restaurants, surf shops, etc all very convenient. Shore Kitchen breakfast is fabulous! Apartment is a very easy 2 block walk to the beach. Entire unit is better than advertised. We’ll be back!!

Another wonderful stay!
This condo is our “go to” vacation spot. We have been coming here for years and everything is always perfect. We usually come during the summer, but this September we decided to visit again. Terri always make sure that everything you need is in the condo. It’s always clean and ready when we arrive. We have come several times during the pandemic, and she make sure that everything sanitized and that Covid protocols are followed. During this stay, we enjoyed using the chairs, beach toys, and towels to go to the beach every day. We had a wonderful dinner at Cowboys and Mermaids and visited the Brick and Bell Café daily. The condo has everything you need for a wonderful trip and there are many restaurants and shops within walking distance. We are looking forward to our next day!

Another Awesome Stay!
This is our favorite place to stay in La Jolla. It is walking distance to the beach, restaurants, kayak rentals, stores, etc. The condo is always clean and fully stocked with towels, toys, and anything a family needs for a great stay. During our week’s stay, we had an amazing dinner at Mermaids & Cowboys. We cooked at the condo and also enjoyed Dinner and drinks out at some of the local businesses. It was a great Spring Break. We love this condo, La Jolla Shores, and Terrie (She always makes sure guests have everything they need to have a perfect time!!

Our favorite VRBO
This is the 6th or 7th time we have rented this condo. My family and I usually come during the summer for a couple of weeks. This year, due to Covid (and needing a break from Distance Learning), we decided to come during Thanksgiving break as well. The condo is always clean and has everything a family needs to cook, rest, read, play games, watch movies, go to the beach, etc. and the beach is a short walk away. Terrie is always very responsive and is so SWEET. Our family loves our time at this wonderful condo. Our two boys (11 & 12) and our four-year-old daughter look forward to every trip! We can hardly wait until next summer!
**I should add that two of our trips were during the pandemic. Everything was washed, dried, sanitized, and wrapped up for safety before our arrival.

Excellent beach property
We had a great time at this property. It was a very enjoyable four minute walk along a restaurant and shop lined street to La Jolla Shores beach. The beach was extremely busy so, due to COVID-19, we went in the morning (leaving by about 10:30 am) and in the evening (around 7 pm). We then discovered Scripps beach nearby (15 minute walk or 5 minute drive), which was a little less crowded. We were comfortable there until about 12 pm when it started getting a little crowded (but not as crowded as La Jolla). The property itself is a little older, but it was very bright, cheerfully decorated, and comfortable with everything you need. The beds were the most comfortable we have ever stayed on while at a vacation property. There were plenty of beach towels and toys. There were DVDs, games, and more. It was also stocked with all the essentials (e.g. toilet paper, paper towels, soaps, laundry soap, etc). We needed extra tables and chairs for our kids' computers and Terrie provided them. Terrie was the most accommodating host we ever had! For example, I asked her if there was a blender before we came (thinking we might bring our own) and she said she had an old one, which I thought was perfectly fine. When we arrived she had gone to Costco to get a brand new one. We also mentioned that the hose outside (used to wash off sand) was leaking a bit (just for her own information) and she had it fixed right away while we were at the beach. These are just two examples of many more. We highly recommend this property!

Love this condo
My family and I have been enjoying our summer vacations in Terrie’s Condo for six years. The condo is always clean, well stocked, and ready to go. It has everything you need (dishes, pots and pans, portable crib, air mattress, baby gate movies, TV, board games, towels, beach toys, umbrella, washer and dryer, etc.to have a wonderful stay. Everything you need is right there. The condo is walking distance from many great restaurants, Brick n Bell, ice cream, surfboard/kayak rentals, neighborhood store, and the beach. This year, due to Covid, Terrie had to take many precautions before being allowed to rent the condo out. Everything was cleaned and sanitized and, in some cases, individually wrapped in plastic; we know it took a lot of work and preparation to make it ready for us, and we really appreciate it. Terrie is always VERY responsive, should you need anything. This is our favorite vacation spot, and Terrie makes us feel like we are family. I highly recommend this amazing condo.
