This comfortable art-filled house in La Jolla is a wonderful space for your next family retreat to Southern California! Featuring a fully stocked kitchen, recently renovated downstairs bedrooms, beautiful backyard with unheated private pool, and easy access to the ocean beach nearby.

The backyard patio and the gas grill are great for beautiful days, while the living area has plenty of room that lets you escape indoors when you've had your fill of California sunshine.

Thoughtful upgrades as of March 2024 include fresh paint, carpets, windows, and beds in the downstairs bedrooms, a king mattress in the large upstairs bedrooms, a gas cooktop in the kitchen, and a propane built-in BBQ.

This house is a short drive or leisurely walk from the beach at La Jolla Shores, La Jolla Cove, and the La Jolla Tide Pools.

Nice but not perfect
A few comments on the property to help others in the future: 1) the property is a bit dated - not all of the window cranks work, furniture has covers over it, upstairs carpet is stained in a few spots, sliding door screens fall off the track and don't slide well, 2) there are a number of family pictures and photos that some may find a bit weird, 3) the upstairs master bed is NOT a King but a Queen and needs to be replaced - it squeaks and is not comfortable, 4) the pool is shaded for more than half the day, the spa CAN'T BE USED as it and the pool are NOT HEATED (the pool is cleaned on Friday's and a lot of leaves fall in the pool and the surrounding areas; the pool plaster needs to be redone) 5) the downstairs twins include a trundle bed and the mattresses should be replaced. There is no chair or table in the Master. The space is quite large and roomy and only an easy 1.1 mile walk to the beach. The house is next to La Jolla Parkway which has a lot of traffic that you can hear if the windows are open. The space with the piano has a table in it with four chairs, not the table and two chairs as shown. The kitchen has lots of everything, except a coffee maker, there's a Keurig. Also, be careful of the up-vent over the cooktop as several of us hit our heads on it (it's probably a foot too low). The master deck has no furniture on it. Overall, the space suited our needs but we expected more for the price. The house definitely needs some attention.

Pool and hot tub unusable
The house is spacious but a bit run down. Master bedroom bed is laughably small in the giant bedroom. Kitchen pretty well equipped which was nice, but there was not enough bedding in the house. The hot tub was very disgusting, full algae bloom. It clearly had not been maintained or cleaned in weeks or possibly months. This made using the pool impossible completely negating the point of booking a house with a pool and hot tub. Contacted customer service the first day and a pool person finally showed up the day we were leaving (6 days later). We were given a 10% refund which is not sufficient. Could have booked a house without a pool for considerably less. Will not stay with vacasa again.

Sunny Dream Nightmares
Only proximity to the beach is a plus, many things are outdated and not fully functional. Master bed is squeaky, the slightest movement causes noises heard throughout the house. We didn’t get a single good night of sleep because of the old uncomfortable mattress. Half of the burners on the stovetop do not turn on. Had to use our iPhone light in shower on the last night because the power went out in the master bath only. Couldn’t get through to management and do left a text. For the price we paid, even without the update this rental could have been so much nicer with just some basic upkeep.
