The house and location are amazing. The only downside is the size of garage and not having a garage door opener. Having to stop on the street and open the garage door was inconvenient.

Oceanfront beauty
We enjoyed this rental soooo much! Has everything we needed even some left over beach toys for our 3 year old which was a pleasant surprise. I could sit on the couch and stare at the ocean all day! We picked this place because it was a couple blocks down the street from my sisters place. It did not disappoint. Surely we would love to come back!!

Nice view
Good property location. Great view,,, house had everything and was spotless. The garage is difficult to get in and out and is shared w other tenant behind house. There was at 6-7 people living in their cars (homeless),, lots of drinking and illicit smoking (drugs). Wasn’t expecting that. Property Manager communication was excellent.Overall a good experience.

Perfect Beach Getaway (Hidden Gem)
We stayed on this property for five nights and we had an amazing stay at this home. Weather was perfect during our stay too as it was breezy and sunny most of the time. Such at a great location right next to the beautiful Windansea Beach. The views were wonderful and sitting on the oversized deck or even in the living room where it has this huge open window to watch surfers was always fun to start the day! The house was comfortable and easy to gather as a family as well find some quiet time. We will definitely stay again. This house was hosted by Drift Vacations and they did a great job communicating and checking on us the whole time. Thank you for a great time!!

The Best!
Our daughter moved to La Jolla 9 months ago and lives down the street. This was a perfect house for me and my husband to be near her and have the relaxing and beautiful view to stay in. We enjoyed everything! Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us. We are hoping to come back Thanksgiving 2024.

Great Stay!
The pictures of the front patio won us over and the stay did not disappoint! The house was very clean and very well kept. The front patio made for some great relaxing sunset views.
The location wasn’t bad at all with small beaches being just steps from the house and included a nice walkway along the beach as well. A few restaurants were a 5-7 minute walk away and many major tourist attractions were 10-20 minutes away.
The owner and other reviews were detailed to share that the garage is very narrow and not connected directly to the house. Not a big deal for us but good to know going into it. Also, the parking lot across the street had some people living in their vans who stayed there for the night, but they kept to themselves and we never felt unsafe with our one year old. Still, things to be aware of going into the booking.
All in all, we loved the place. We would definitely stay again! We spent a lot of time looking at other houses/hotels and we’re grateful we found this one. For the price and amenities compared to other places we checked, my wife and I were very happy with the place!

Amazing
We were so happy with the location and the house that we cancelled two days of activities so that we could just hang. There is definitely more beach than the pictures suggest and chairs and an umbrella to use. The deck was great for people watching, surfer watching and just relaxing. I read a whole book.
Love, love, love!! We will go back!

Great location except for the bums
Great house … clean, super location. Unfortunately, there are anywhere from 3 to 5 bums that permanently park in their vehicles across the street. They may leave for a night or two during the week, but always return. The police have little time to stay on top of the issue, so, unfortunately, you have to deal with their drinking, smoking, a variety of things, and the noise they create. It’s too bad that local ordinances or not enforced. La Jolla prohibits overnight camping in public parking spaces but that law is only as good as its enforcement.

Newly renovated property offset from wind & sea beach. Priceless views of the surf and walkable / bikeable to La Jolla Cove, Birdrock or even Pacific Beach.
Check-in process was flawless, 100% remote and management company was in constant contact through text. I can’t recommend this property enough for families

Gorgeous oceanfront view.
Our girls trip was to take in various sites in San Diego. Little did we know that the best place to be was LaJolla. Our VRBO was so delightful that we didn’t rush out each day. We lingered at our ocean view VRBO mornings and evenings. The neighborhood was great for evening walks. The local restaurants had something for everyone. I would stay here again!

Great little house with ocean view. Busy in the day for fun people watching and very quiet at night. Recently renovated with all new appliances. Suggestion would be just a small table and chairs for indoor eating in winter season. Check in information was excellent.
