Perfect. I’d selfishly like to say something bad so we can continue visiting without worrying about others taking our week, but I can’t. It was perfect!!

Thanks for hosting us. We had a wonderful time. The home was very comfortable, clean and great to be so close to the beach, shops and restaurants. The beach chairs, boogie boards and sand toys were a great touch and made our trips to the beach very comfortable. This home was truly the highlight of our trip.

Amazing stay in La Jolla for spring break with the family. Kids loved the beach and park. Perfect setup for kid boogie boarding. The location is near perfect, easy walking distance to great options for food, and the beach and park are basically in the backyard. Caretaker was responsive, professional and very helpful, we will be back!

We rented the house to attend a family wedding at Scripps. The house was very comfortable for two couples (my brother, his wife, my husband and I). The kitchen had everything we needed to make good meals. The beach is a block away, with lots of pelicans and cormorants. We found excellent coffee up the block. La Jolla Cove is wonderful. We snorkeled with bat rays and leopard sharks, rode waves and did a lot of open water swimming. The lap pool is perfect for swimming as well, a real pleasure.

We stayed here for an amazing week. The home is very cozy and has a great kitchen area and deck area. The pool and location are amazing. It's very close to the beach and a lot of little shops. The only thing is parking is a bit tight but no one bothered us so that was a good. The owner was quick with communication also which is always appreciated.

Feet from the beach in a North Woods sea captain cabin
Didn’t think I could simultaneously be 30 seconds from La Jolla Shores while also staying in a magnificent Lake Superior North Shore cabin, but this place pulls it off! Great house, everything you need, very comfy and super clean.

Perfect Getaway!
What a great experience! Peter was wonderful to work with and the property was just as lovely in person as it was on the listing! We loved the little tucked in feel and privacy. Loved the unique features throughout the house, and it was stocked really well too! They pretty much had everything we needed for a 4 day getaway! I would highly recommend this VRBO!

Four nights in Dove Cottage Oasis
This 3 story, fully self contained home is truly a 90 second walk to the park and La Jolla Shores beach. The very long lap pool is great to cool off in, and the walls and trees surrounding the yard feels and sounds very private. The home is roomy and welcoming. The 3rd floor room bed is best for one or two smaller people, the 18 year old loved having the deck available to lounge and watch sunsets from. Our thanks to Peter for being such an easy host to communicate with.

Unbeatable location in a gorgeous spot!
Dove Cottage is absolutely charming, and is within two blocks of the La Jolla Shores beach; the location really is unbelievable. This is old school La Jolla at its very best. We so appreciated that everything we needed for the beach (chairs, towels, sand toys, boogie boards) was all ready and waiting for us.
We stayed here with our three kids as well as my parents (7 total), and still had two extra beds. It's an open loft floor plan, so you may need to think about moving the party outside after some guests head to bed. Check-in and check-out were completely contactless, which was perfect.
Finally, in a neighborhood crowded with condos, we loved having a private fenced yard and a lap pool to relax in - it was like our own little oasis.
We would absolutely stay here again, it's amazing!

Love Dove (Cottage)
As advertised. Perfect location. We use VRBO frequently and this home is VERY clean for a rental home. There is a second home on the property which is clearly noted on the website. No one was there during our stay, but we could see this as being a potential intrusion on one’s privacy if it was occupied during your stay. There is only one true bedroom, the master. All other sleeping is open loft style. The whole cottage has a wonderful vibe.

Perfect beach getaway
Dove Cottage was the perfect spot for a relaxing break. We loved walking over to the beach and park, swimming in and hanging out by the pool, and eating outside at the nearby restaurants. Great host - clear communication, totally clean and very comfortable property.

Wonderful Place Near Beach
We couldn't have been happier with Dove Cottage! It was an adorable place that was a short walk to the beach. The kitchen was fully outfitted, so it was easy to always have snacks and breakfast at the house. It was super convenient to La Jolla businesses, as well as a short drive to San Diego attractions like the Zoo, Safari Park and Sea World. It was perfect for our group of a family with 3 small children and 3 additional adults.

Delightful dove cottage
This property is absolutely charming! It’s nice to have a peaceful enclave to escape to so close to the beach. The cottage is roomy and comfortable. The fireplace in the family room creates a super cozy atmosphere. (was great to have, especially in the middle of winter when the nights get pretty cold) The master bedroom and bathroom are very spacious. The third level bedroom is a great bonus to the house! The view from the deck of this space are fabulous!

My Dream Home
This home is a hidden gem at La Jolla Shores.
Only steps from the sand and waves, this cozy beach cottage has it all. Private yard with pool, incredibly comfortable beds/linens, and with the owners own personal charm, you feel like apart of their family. Beyond all, this property is CLEAN! Immaculately clean. A few guests have said the photos don't do this property justice, and I totally agree. With four kids ranging from 5-15, this house was perfect to give them space, but also allowed us to come together as a family. I love this house.

WE LOVED THE DOVE COTTAGE!!
This is such a well-loved property. We had great rapport and communication with Cheryl the manager. We loved how warm and cozy the decor was and over all feel of the house. We loved the pool at the end of a beach day and we enjoyed the pics of the family members who have also loved this sweet place. Might be our favorite and we've been coming every august for over 10 years. Thanks Cheryl and Dove Cottage! Kris and Family

Amazing time in Dove Cottage
I rented this beautiful cottage for family our vacation in La Jolla Shores. When we walked in the gate of Dove Cottage my 4 kids (9 yrs, 7 yrs, 4 yrs, and 2yrs old) went crazy. The first thing they had us do was open the heated pool for a swim. The cottage had everything we needed. A well stock kitchen, so much space to spread out, toys and games, BBQ, towels and toys for the beach. The cottage is 2 blocks from the little strip of restaurants and shops on the days we didn't want to cook or drive to eat. It is also 2 blocks from Kellogg's Park and the beach which my 2 little ones called the beach park. From the minute we woke up we grab our coffee and took the kids to the park to get the day started. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and if/when we come back we hope that this cottage will be available to stay again.

A lovely and clean cozy getaway. Loved the outdoor space and the deck upstairs so peaceful
The Dove Cottage just had a warm inviting feel. Very quiet and tucked away so it was lovely. Very clean and beautiful details inside and out. Very easy walk to the ocean and restaurants. Everything we needed was there. It felt like Home. We will definitely return

We love Dove Cottage!
This is the 2nd time our family has stayed here. Such a lovely place, especially if you love surfing or beach activities, as it is so close to the beach. Cheryl is the perfect manager - very quickly responsive if you need anything but otherwise unobtrusive. The house and grounds are beautiful!

Cool House, Great Location!
This house is a gem! Three stories of fun in a private yard. Lots of light and windows, lovely kitchen. On site laundry and parking, which is essential this close to the beach.
We were 4 generations staying during a chilly week. The home has heat, which we didn’t need because of the two cozy fireplaces, one in the dine in kitchen! We used the beautiful heated lap pool once, and recommend it to swimmers and floaters.
There are two full baths, the master and half on the first floor. The second on the second floor, which is a loft. Five of us shared this bath, which was fine for us, but may not work as well with other groups.
Cheryl, the property manager was really nice and responsive. She lives next door and is readily available if you need her.
Great house, as lovely or more than the photos! We loved it!

slice of heaven
Indeed, the pictures do not do this home justice! The beautiful & enclosed yard was just perfect for my grands to roam/explore and the pool was a wonderful addition to the end of a day at the beach.
The house has plenty of cozy seating in the family room for 7 adults and 2 toddlers. The kitchen table extended to fit us all, but when the weather was warm enough, we opened the french doors off the lovely, open kitchen and ate outside as well. Both of the bedrooms are quite spacious and comfortable- for a house that isn't huge, we all fit easily. Extras include a Pack&Play, High Chair, safety gates, beach towels, a HAMMOCK, washer & dryer, and a large, dark walk-in closet for the baby to sleep in! Two minute walk to a nice beach with a large grassy park/playground in-between. I can't think of when we have had a more relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable week. Thanks!!
