La Jolla Cottage 1BR

The property was nice a quiet, and close to the beach that we were able to walk back and forth. It was a quaint little place we had a great time. Loved that we could buy groceries and cook in the kitchen. The only draw back was that there were little black sugar ants in the place.

The cottage is cozy, but it is not well maintained. There are traces of mold on the ceiling and windows. The wooden frames are weathered. Weeds are growing in the courtyard, the upholstery of the chairs is dirty. The cottage was only superficially cleaned. There was thick dust under the furniture and a tuft of black hair under the shower curtain in the bathroom. A complaint I made about a broken hairdryer was not answered. The cottage is beautifully situated, just two streets from the sea. It is cozy with an inner courtyard where you can have breakfast, barbecue and relax. The location is quiet, you can only hear the seagulls.

Great little cottage within walking distance of the beach. Really clean and comfortable. No air-conditioning and limited air circulation with location of windows but still comfortable. Only things I would flag are that the private patio wasn't really useable. It seemed to be storage for the main house which is right next to the cottage. And if you are a large person, the bathroom may be too small for comfort. For reference my son is 6'2 / 300 lbs and would not have fit. But would definitely would stay there again if in La Jolla!

It was amazing. My fiancé and I enjoyed the location and the home like atmosphere. Will be coming back in the future.

One block from one of the world's most beautiful beaches! What else could anyone want? Nice, simple place. If I could add anything, it might be a little washable rug on the floor. The directions should make it clear that you have to enter through an alleyway in the back--I'm sure they'll fix that minor glitch.

Great spot on a quiet street, a short walk away from the beach. It was everything we needed to just get away for a few days.

The location of the property is amazing. Just steps away from the most beautiful beach. Food and coffee shops close by as well. The only problem was the cleanliness, it felt dirty and there is a big ant problem. The bed is where all the ants like to live. We were swatting ants off the bed the whole trip. Other than that it was a good location

Always enjoy Windandsea area. Beach close and restaurants.

Enjoyed property very much, its super peaceful and steps away from the beach. Only have one suggestion the plants frawns had fallen down and it was blocking pathway and a bit noisy to walk on when trying to get in and out of cottage. Neighbor was bit annoyed with us walking through because of the stepping on the plant order to get around. Other than the cottage was quite cozy comfortable and spacious for 2.

The VRBO listing did NOT disclose that this “cottage” was actually a remodeled garage on the same property as the owner… the check in instructions were very vague. It took us 45 minutes to figure out that we needed to go to the back alley to enter the property. Even after calling the rental company for help on how to find the house, the color of the front door was not the same as pictured on the listing and the rental company had the wrong color as well. Upon arriving, ants were discovered in the living room and kitchen along with a beetle. After finding multiple bugs, my boyfriend and I looked over the whole inside and found an ant trap full of dead ants inside the kitchen cabinet which contained CLEAN dishes. I was extremely disappointed. The rental company did refund half the cleaning fee which I do appreciate. However, I have never been to a VRBO so inaccurate from what I saw online. The rest of the house was clean enough, but it looks like it hadn’t been truly deep cleaned in a long time. Loved the location but wish the listing was more clear that this house is not necessarily private as the owners live a couple steps away in the main house.

This is our second time staying here. We love it!

This was perfect for what I needed as I was visiting family. I wasn't there very much, but it was a great respite for me when I walked in the door. Only suggestion is to get a stronger shower head. Having available parking spot and location to beach was just wonderful. Would stay here again.

It was a nice getaway spot. Small cottage behind the main house. Was clean and definitely near a lot of things. The beach was my main focus so it was really nice to be just 2 minute's away. But its also a 20 minute walk from coffee shops and restaurants.
