Seashell Cottage in La Jolla

Beautiful, we loved it!!

The property is older than it appears in the photos. The property needs a face lift at its price point. Chipped paint throughout, water damaged ceiling in some spots. No locks on bedrooms or bathrooms. Rear entry with no security bolt. One of the comforters had a stain on it. Not enough towels for 6 people. Great location though, easy access, walking to nearby stores was easy for grocery needs. street parking but was not an issue for us. It got busier in evening with locals parking to go surf. Some of the dishes were dirty or stained. Lastly cable did not work on the main TV, there was no Roku attached. Not sure what remotes went to which TV. The Roku didn’t work in the bedrooms, not sure about cable as we attached our laptop to the HDMI. There was a DVD player but no selection of movies at like other places.

Easy to walk to the beach and La Jolla stores and restaurants. Quiet and safe neighborhood. The house is old and could have been cleaner. The floors and dishes were dirty and the half bathroom toilet keeps flushing. Also the bedroom door with the half bathroom is jammed and can’t be fully closed.

This home is old, dirty and unsafe. The entire residence is shabby at best and it feels very unsafe. We booked two night and left after five minutes. My girls and I did not feel safe there. Do not waste your money on this horrendous rental.

A little warm. Not great air flow. Great location. Needs a little interior up keep. Bathroom door very difficult to close without a loud slam. Not a problem but we had a new born with us. Location is very good. Parking is not good. Easy to get in and checkout was very easy.

This property is much older than the pictures show. There was pet hair and stains on many of the outdoor cushions and inside furniture. Also there is not any air conditioning.

There was no access provided to the property. Attempts to gain access from the property management company were not fulfilled timely. Keys/lockbox were empty. Property pictures were not accurate, notably in the back area. Furniture was very worn and dirty, the overhead gazebo structure was broken. We are due a full refund for not being able to stay and needing to book another property for the night. VRBO and the property manager are being very difficult.

We recently stayed at the cottage for a wedding. We had our adult children and another guest. The house was a comfortable size and the location was perfect. We could go for walks to the beach, walk into town and on Sunday there was a local farmers market that we walked to! The beds are comfy and for the most part the house was clean. As stated in other reviews, you may want to bring slippers or flip flops as the floors are old and leave your feet a bit dirty. When we arrived the mirror in the half bath was missing and the shower curtain liner was a bit mildewed. The management got there within a couple hours to replace both. There is no air but plenty of fans and with windows open at night there was a decent cross breeze. The neighborhood was quiet so that was not an issue. We did have some dampness, being there during the hurricane, but once the sun came out the house dried right out. Just a note, after reading other reviews we did bring extra face clothes (two are provided) and large shampoo. All in all it was a good experience.

We had an overall good experience and stay at this property. The location is nice for walking downtown and to the beach. The things you should be aware of: -House gets very warm and windows are challenging to open and some windows didn’t have screens. -BARE essentials were provided. Literally two rolls of toilet paper, and three miniature bars of soap. Be prepared to make a run to Pavilions. -The one hand towel provided in the entire home was a bath mat. No washcloths and only five bath towels. No beach towels. -It was nice to have a washer dryer, but be prepared to purchase detergent. -Twin beds and the bed frames they are on are extremely squeaky. -The backyard wasn’t the oasis we expected. It was overgrown and run down. We wouldn’t stay here again.

Real nice. Thank you.
