Sandcastle Hideaway, Dog Friendly, Designer Studio, Private Patio And Parking!

This property was close to the beach and within walking distance of most restaurants. There was grocery and liquor stores 1/2 block away. The bus stop was also half a block away. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils etc. The bed was comfortable. However, there was no heat. They had a space heater but it had a hard time taking off the chill. As a consequence there was a slight musty smell that lingered in the background. The patio was also quite small and only received sun shine in the middle of the day. Overall I was happy with this space and it was clean and comfortable. Communication with the hosts was exceptional

Affordable and exactly met my expectations. Would book again. Thanks!

The pictures made the rental look larger ... it truly is about 170 sq. ft.Upgrading the mattress and pillows would be helpful.Overall, it's workable as a place to stay and make your meals if you don't want to eat out all the time. However, you'll be eating while seating on the couch or standing.It has a nice location, a short walk to a beach, and a good launching point to all the sites in La Jolla, San Diego and beyond.

Super small but as described. Had to keep suitcases in car to save space so don’t bring too much! Lovely location within walking distance to the beach.

Small apartment a few blocks from Windandsea Beach, about a 10 minute walk. There is no view of the beach from the apartment. There is a small patio with a BBQ, table and chairs. Owner was very responsive. The BBQ was not lighting, so we contacted the owner and she replaced the BBQ. There is a full kitchen but no dishwasher. Remember to bring shampoo, soap and laundry detergent since only a starter supply is provided. There is a carport with 1 parking space for the apartment, which was very convenient. You will need to remove your shoes upon entering and sweep the apartment at least once a day since the area a very fine sand that is easily tracked onto the floor. The apartment is a great value that has all the necessities.

Great experience. Great location. Was expecting shampoo and body wash but had to buy some. Everything else was as expected.

Love this room. The only thing I wish was a portable AC unit (maybe thats the east coast in me). A little thicker bed cushions would be nice too. This place is awesome!

Excellent location! Very peaceful and quiet. Eating breakfast on the covered patio was a big highlight for me! I Plan on coming back again. Sharon is a excellent host.

Walking distance to beach. Easy navigation on foot or by car to shopping. Quiet the majority of time. I had everything I needed to cook if I wanted or just heat up food. It was just perfect and I hope to come back.

Great little spot close to the beach!

2nd. time to stay at Sandcastle. Still just right!

Nice little place - excellent location with very quick walk to the beach! It has all the basics. It is very cozy, but we were not inside much. The bed leaves a lot to be desired - it is low to the ground and not very comfortable - could probably be remedied with a new mattress. It got very hot by evening even with the doors open - windows are not screened - but a couple of fans helped. Overall it was a nice little place and the location very good.

It's a cute place in an excellent location. They allowed my dog which was wonderful! It had everything we needed. Thank you!

The apartment is very small which we expected from the listing. There’s windows but you can really only see sky from them. The patio doors onto the patio still don’t lock. I had read this in reviews from months and months ago and had hoped they would have been fixed. The patio area is very small and confined feeling. It’s pretty dirty and the furniture there is past its best. We didn’t use the outside area at all as it wasn’t pleasant in any way. The whole apartment needs a bit of attention. The bed frame needs tightened and there is a damp feeling from the flooring. That being said, we just used the apartment for sleeping and as a base for our time in San Diego. Location is really good as it’s only a couple of minutes walk from the beach which is great. Our experience was fine. We stayed for 13 nights which is probably too long in such a small space.

Kitchen is fully functional. Heat is via space heaters and cooling is via fans. Worked well in March. Layout is fine, cloths storage is near the bathroom and not the bedroom. That works fine. The washer and dryer worked well and overall no real issues.

We liked the fully equipped apartment. Calm and safe neighborhood close to a nice beach, shops and village.

My stay here was great! Fast and easy communication with the host, and the unit was well kept. Great location too, just a quick walk to the beach. Only downside was the assigned parking spot being pretty tight. It was doable with my Tacoma, but a larger vehicle could be a real challenge.

Bed is not acceptable for sleep and spider web so they let us to stay different place like studio but same thing happened to bed squeezing sounds so had to leave 8days booking was nightmare. End up staying at the hotel

Delightful, charming, small place. Great for a couple. Good location. Grateful that parking was not a hassle.

A very small studio made to be extremely comfortable for two guests. Very clean and well maintained.

What a great little getaway. Perfect location and size for my husband and I. Loved the water pressure in the shower. We will be back!

Small, but has everything you need. Very clean. Parking spot is priceless in La Jolla. Sharon was always very responsive. Did not need anything after we arrived.

Could not have been better.

Enjoyable, cozy property in excellent location. Room with a view it is not but not our expectation. Owner is communicative and pleasant. We'd stay again.

This La Jolla property exceeded my expectations. The location is unbeatable with local eateries and convenient beach access nearby. The area is safe, and offers plenty of activities. The property itself was clean. Recommend for a memorable stay in La Jolla.
