A lot of positives: Very large home with 5 bedrooms and multiple bathrooms Great location and views Awesome back terrace with lots of room and seating Quirky and charming furniture and decor Nice centrally located kitchen Lots of towels Some negatives: It appears to be a rather older house that has not been all that well maintained. Overall run down shingles, siding, and interior fittings. Not by any means a deal killer. The actual living surfaces and furniture was clean. The owners have left a lot of junk all over the place, in drawers and cabinets and behind curtains. It almost appears as if they just left for the weekend and rented it out. Cookware is old and worn down. Not great for serious cooking. Overall, good deal for the price.

Nothing....dishwasher broken, ice maker didn´t work, door knobs on bedrooms upstairs all came off...rugs are very stained, musty The view of ocean on back patio doesn´t exist as the picture shows.....bushes all need to be trimmed back. After first day, the front door code didn´t work....had to get a new one....dealing with Vacasa instead of owner is useless

When we arrived we thought wow this looks nice once we got inside there is an array of different furniture and broken furniture, not safe to sit on. No wifi or cable to watch tv, we had to spend one day of our vacation there with cable guy, Windows do not open, door handles coming off, doors that do not open or close right, ants on kitchen counters, spider webs everywhere especially outside on deck, patio furniture broken unable to use, no kitchen essential’s only one pan, carpet is old and very dirty, the list just goes on and on. Very disappointed with the way this house was pics on listing very deceitful!

Nothing but excellent things to say! We will be back!

The house is huge, a lot of space for everyone, with epic views from every room. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. The beds were clean and comfy. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Beach towels, toys and chairs were provided. The house was a 15 minute walk from the beach and a 10 minute walk from restaurants and shops. Vacasa was very responsive and even gave us early check in for free. The negatives aspects were: the house is very old and needs renovation. The furnitures were very old and had a strange odor, mostly the couch in the main living room. The hill was very steep if you want to walk to the house.

We have mixed feelings about the cost vs value provided. The view is nice, but the house and its contents are in dire need of some fixes/updates. The interior has a wide array of furniture, most of which is worn, or worn out. One of the master bedroom mattresses was rock hard, which might have been OK except it is also worn out, having a sharp drop-off on one side. With 2 people in the bed, this required a balancing act to be able to sleep. The frame for this bed had metal pieces sticking out that caught my legs at least 1 time. The attached bathroom looked like it was not quite ready, missing covers for the recessed lighting. Various handles and doorknobs were broken, or missing entirely. Access to the deck for the view requires the door be unlocked inside, but then someone use the knob outside. We had other knobs/handles throughout the house that would fall off in our hands when used to access. The fridge leaks, we had a stack of paper towels arranged around the base of the fridge by the end of our stay. The wifi did not work the first 2 days, but when it did work the number of clients that could connect was limited. I am not sure why you would have a house that can host 10, but then limit access. If 10 are visiting, you can assume you will need at least 30 available connections. Better would be to not limit connections at all. There was two trash cans, and 1 can for recycling outside, and all were full. Someone came by and was standing in the cans to smash down the trash. The cans were overfull when we left. The driveway is STEEP and angled. Drive up the street and make a u-turn to approach driving downhill. We scraped the bottom, front, and back of the bottom of the car every time we arrived/left, no matter the approach angle. Some positives? The view was great, the sunsets were nice. The heat worked great, when needed. Considering the $700+ per night cost to stay, we will likely look elsewhere should we be in the San Diego area again.

Large house. Plenty of room. Comfortable and close to shopping and dining. Great view

The best thing about this property is the location: slightly up a hill, so fantastic views, and quiet, yet only a few minutes walk into La Jolla village and cove. The second best aspect is the space - not only many rooms, but large rooms. And it has character. Where this property fell short is its general condition - it needs some TLC. And some better outdoor furniture. And wine glasses - there was only one. A deep clean - especially the carpets, although I realize that is hard in a house that allows pets. For those coming with a small pet - make sure that they have fixed the cat flap in the kitchen door - there was no flap, just a hole. Vacasa were very responsive, so they get full marks. And despite the gripes, we had a great week here.

My family and friends stayed for a quick weekend stay. The views were beautiful and the deck/living area was the perfect size for our group. We especially loved it’s close distance to downtown La Jolla.

There definitely was black mold in two of the bathrooms like another’s review said and also the fridge does still leak. Made the others I brought a little worried because of it.

My stay in La Jolla was peaceful and lovely. The neighborhood is beautiful and the views from the rooms are breathtaking. With this said, unfortunately there were things that went wrong due to the health and maintenance of this old home. First, it is hard to find as it is located behind another house. I must have passed it a few times! Second, the house is darkly decorated in decor and ambiance which to me does not suggest a beach home. The carpet upstairs should be replaced, the master bedroom windows don’t open ( no AC) which prevented us from staying in the master, and the shower in master leaked which caused a puddle on wood floor downstairs. Also, if you are used to a keurig, there is none. Customer service very responsive and even brought us a pie to apologize. I would have liked a little off the bill but didn’t complain. Please paint the outside. White paint can do wonders. Again, it could have been perfect but still a nice retreat!

Loved how many rooms and bathrooms the house has. Very easy for multiple couples to stay in and get ready. Also walking distance to many restaurants, just head down the hill. Can always uber back up if you don't feel like walking uphill on the way back.

This was the perfect place for our big family to stay the week of our son’s graduation from MCRD. The neighborhood is quiet and nice. Lots of amenities. Lots of room!

Great location and large house with many bedrooms.

My extended family got together at Casa Dolce for three important events and the house was clean nice with a variety of places for small or larger groups to gather and talk. We had all of our dinners there at the house. The house has character and the views and neighborhood are great. We all said we would stay there again. Joe and Logan at Vacasa were so helpful. Thank you so much!

This a nice place and in a great location but the house needs some work. We could not open some of windows and doors. The shower in the master bedroom could not be use. The front porch needs to repaired.

Great location and lots of room at this house. Was very clean on arrival. Easy walk to downtown La Jolla. The only downside was the price. Seemed expensive for a pretty dated home but I guess that’s La Kolla for ya. We enjoyed the time there.

Clean, plenty of space, comfortable

Pictures did not reflect reality. Once you arrive you’ll notice the outside of the house is not well maintained. Once you enter you’ll be greeted by the smells of old closet and some sort of pest control substance. The house was not clean. The dishes were not clean. Peel back the sheets and get a good look at the mattress covers before you decide to sleep in them (or don’t if ignorance is bliss).
