Lovely guesthouse in La Jolla

We loved the property and location in a very nice neighborhood, with easy access to the beaches and attractions in San Diego. Property was clean and nicely furnished and bed was comfortable. The only glitch we had was arranging the flow of water in the shower so water didn’t escape while showering. We never had a problem finding street parking at the property. Definitely would recommend!

Relaxing Beach Vacation

Location cannot be beat! Neighborhood is quiet. We visited several beaches in the area and the beach right next to our VBRO was our favorite. Parking is on the street but we never had trouble finding a spot. The house was clean and well stocked. Bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend!

This place is a gem in La Jolla. John and his wife are perfect hosts and made us feel so welcome. The place was super clean and welcoming. The views from the front deck during sunset are amazing. We will definitely be looking to book this place again if we come back to the San Diego area.
