Great location, comfortable. Met our needs perfectly. Only concern was parking. It's tight access so if you have a larger car (we do) it's a bit of a challenge. The overall experience was great and it being walking distance to the beach and bars and restaurants was very nice.

We loved this property and the proximity to La Jolla Shores beach! The place was spacious, clean, and beautiful. We loved the secluded yard and outdoor picnic table. The owner was very prompt with responding to our messages! We also loved using the boogie boards and beach toys provided. It was a great vacation spot!
