The La Jolla cottage was perfect for our long weekend visit for a family member’s wedding. The hosts were fabulous, super-accommodating, and helpful. They let us in early, gave us great restaurant suggestions, and have such a beautiful space. It worked great short-term for 2 adults and 1 kid, the pullout couch was surprisingly comfortable. We loved walking down to the beach for sunset and then sitting on the balcony in the evenings.

We stayed in the apartment for 6 nights. We chose to try an apartment on this visit rather than a hotel. We thought a privately owned unit would be cleaner & nicer. The neighborhood, the surroundings, and setting are lovely. The apartment itself has the potential to be wonderful. The cleanliness was in question. IE: The walls up towards the vaulted ceilings have many cobwebs. There is mold on the shower curtain. There is an inch of dust/grime on the blades of the ceiling fan. I won’t go on….the apartment just needs a good cleaning with attention to detail. BTW…. We had a great week in San Diego!

Loft above the garage was accurate as described on VRBO. Location was nice. Many places to eat within walking distance. No issues checking in. Only complaint was lack of internet access. Some issue with WiFi and couldnt connect to alternate provided. Little bit of an inconvenience but we still enjoyed our stay here.

My husband is 6 foot seven and 290 pounds so we weren’t sure at first if we pull out bed couch with memory foam with accommodate him or comfortable, but we actually had a great night sleep every night. We also slept with the windows open and the screen door because the owners have planted fruits and Jasmine and they smell incredible all night. The air was perfumed. It’s a darling spot and if you have a big, tall man in your life, he will feel right at home too. Tall ceiling as well and we loved the cushions on the patio chairs too.

Situated in a quiet neighborhood but within walking distance of coffee shops, restaurants, and the ocean, the cottage offered a perfect balance of comfort, privacy and convenience. The bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed being able to read, write, and bird watch on the private balcony that overlooks a tranquil garden. On-street parking was readily available anytime of day and check-in/check-out was easy as pie. Many thanks to Mark and Marty for being excellent hosts! Hope to see you again next time I’m in San Diego.

Quaint one room apartment in a quiet area. The accommodations were very comfortable and very clean. It was a perfect space for my short stay in LaJolla. The owner is very responsive to questions. I would stay again when in LaJolla.

This cottage was an amazing stay! From the utilities provided to the area begin so close to awesome spots. Felt just like home away from home! The neighborhood is very quiet, cozy, and beautiful. Especially loved the accommodations when it came to early check-in and late check-out! Huge plus in my book! Would definitely be coming back and recommending to friends.

This was a great spot in a perfect location for our brief stay in La Jolla. The bed was surprisingly comfy, the croissants at the nearby bakery were wonderful, and having bikes available to use was a huge plus. Thank you, Marty, for a great stay.

Room is above garage so you do hear the garage door opening and closing. Ideal space for one person. Only one chair so second person has to sit on bed or out on the patio (weather permitting). Kitchen is very compact but is reasonably equipped for making snacks in toaster oven. King bed was very comfortable and is actually a sofa bed but cannot be retracted because of the thick foam mattress, so is not available as a seating area.

I had a conference at a resort later in the week and decided to come in a few days early for a "me-cation" and to explore the area. This cozy cottage was absolutely perfect for what I needed! It's just a few blocks from the little downtown area of Bird Rock. I could walk and get pastries and coffee in the morning and enjoy them while looking out over the cliffs at the ocean. It's an easy Uber ride to anywhere else you want to visit. I didn't get to use the bike because of the rain, but I dodged the raindrops enough to enjoy visits to the Zoo, Mission Beach, and walk the main streets of La Jolla and the Cove. Marty was incredibly sweet and helpful, even offering to grab me anything I needed from the store since I was arriving late. Just a really lovely stay all around.

We needed a place to stay while our house was treated for termites. This cottage is a block away which was perfect. Marty and Mark are excellent hosts. We were able to drop our things well in advance of checkin. It has a comfy memory foam mattress, a small kitchenette (good for breakfast or lunch). Would stay here again for sure

I traveled alone to San Diego for a long weekend. The La Jolla Cottage by the Sea was perfectly equipped for what I needed: cozy, excellent location, and a BIKE to use- the best amenity! I spent most days on the bike, and Uber/Lyft was easy when it grew dark. It was a wonderful trip; again, this spot was perfect for my solo adventure. Thanks a lot!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The sweet deck with the sound of the sea nearby, cozy king size bed, fabulous walking thru gorgeous neighborhoods, the best coffee ever just down the hill, a bakery that will be remembered in your heart for years, and very kind hosts. We highly recommend.

We were in San Diego to visit our adult daughter and this quaint, comfy space made our Christmas perfect. It had everything we needed. It’s a quiet neighborhood with a serene pond with a fountain you can hear when the screen door is open. We walked to cool coffee shops, a fun boutique and a neat surf shop - in minutes. Each morning we walked down to town to watch the surfers battle the waves. It was close to all kinds of hikes and adventure spots. The only concern we had initially was that it had a “fold-out” bed. Turns out it was just as comfortable - and large - as our bed at home. We can’t wait to return! Thank you Mark and Marty!

Loved the location of the vrbo. Hosts were very kind and easy to communicate with and check in was smooth. Having bikes was a great touch, I wish we had time to use them. I was SO surprised at the size of the bed and how comfortable it was. We also really enjoyed the balcony in the morning for sunrise :) Could have been cleaned a little bit better but that is my only negative comment. Would love to stay here again!

This was an amazing little hideout behind a gorgeous house. Although I didn’t get to have much conversation with the house owners, they were most inviting. They had a wonderful dog on the property too, which made the stay just a little sweeter. The backyard was so quiet, and cute for a La Jolla paradise. The locals were friendly, the area was quaint and simple, and the food was delicious. Would love to come back some day.

Just right in every way, friendly host and perfect setting! The space has a deck with 2 chairs and a cool fishpond below , pretty zen! There's a multi use path nearby that took us everywhere. The village has a little bit of everything and the beach is so close making for the perfect morning walk or run. Highly recommend !

Quiet neighborhood with water feature in backyard that was relaxing to listen to before bed. Property was not easily accessible. Had to drag luggage down pathways covered in small pebbles and up a full set of stairs. Owner did help with luggage upon arrival. Could have used another chair and side table beside bed.

Beautiful property and garden. Second story loft was a bit warm in late July, but with fans and open windows it was nice and cool in the nights. Pull out bed was decently comfortable but big enough to sprawl out. Plenty of amenities like beach towels, laundry baskets, towels, soaps, utensils, etc. would definitely stay again.
