Welcome to our one of a kind beach home in La Jolla. This property is on an oversized private corner lot that is truly one of a kind. Completely remodeled the photos do not do the incredible views justice it is absolutely breathtaking. You can ride bikes to the boardwalk or into downtown La Jolla. Grocery store is 3 blocks from the home as well as restaurants, coffee shops, beach, park and shops.
There is no direct beach access from the property for safety reasons. To access the beach you will walk down to end of block and walk down Tourmaline street to the beach. There is lots of parking there in the parking lot if you prefer to drive. The beach is great for kids because the waves are mild in comparison to some other near by beaches and there is a concrete walk way to the beach to make easy for the kids and elders.

Incredible views! We woke up every AM and walked over to the beach. Cooked lunch at the BBQ, enjoyed the pool and hot tub.All was great. Would highly recommend…and will be coming back.
Such a great stay! Lovely home with stunning views! The house has everything we needed. The proper management was kind and helpful and we will definitely stay again!
We had an amazing experience this time in La Jolla. The property was gorgeous and the view is phenomenal:) even more beautiful than the pictures. Don’t hesitate- truly a wonderful place to stay!

This property is second to none; pictures do not do this place justice. Perfect seaside retreat with tons of privacy and easy access to beach and downtown shops. Property manager is very thoughtful and attentive. Would definitely stay here again.

From the moment we arrived, the experience staying at this home was so relaxing. The sound of the ocean waves adds to this relaxing place. We enjoyed the property, the views, the pool. The home had everything we needed. The Master bed was sooo comfortable. The large glass windows made it feel as if you were inside outside. We paid for the pool & hot tub to be heated and it was perfect! The service was great. The Property Manager went above and beyond and communicated with us the only time we needed her.
This home is at the top of our annual getaway now!

We loved our stay in this gorgeous house! You cannot beat the view of the beach, the water, and the surfers below. The house is in a great, quiet neighborhood, but there are also terrific restaurants nearby, and everything was very walkable. The pool was gorgeous, and it was so nice that it had some shade for most of the day. The big umbrellas were also fantastic, and we got to make s'mores at the fire pit. The kitchen was really well stocked with all of the pans, utensils, and knives I needed to cook, and there were a good number of spices already in the cabinets. The check in process was a cinch. I did have some trouble reaching the owner during our stay about some minor maintenance issues, but that was the only small glitch in an otherwise fantastic trip. We are already planning our trip to return in 2025!
The location and layout of this property are outstanding. Guests can safely walk everywhere from the beach to food shopping to nightlife. The views, sunsets and surfers are incomparable. The only downside is the cleanliness. There was garbage under the beds and under the bathroom vanities and the sheets and blankets needed to be washed and the propane tanks were all empty for the fire-pit. Fortunately, there is a washer and dryer on-site and a propane place nearby. Also, an instructional manual would have been helpful. ie- garbage pick-up, landscape schedule, etc. Despite these few inconveniences, we would definitely stay here again.

Pictures don’t do the views justice, this is a wow factor property. Nice upscale neighborhood. Beautifully decorated, well appointed kitchen (even has olive oil, basic spices, and Tupperware & ziploc bags for lefotovers), and lots of extra towels, blankets, toilet paper, paper towels. Does not have direct beach access, but is a short walk. Note the walk is hilly. There is also a small parking lot right on the beach that you can see looking down from the property. Easy 20-25 minute drive to most popular San Diego attractions. Washer/dryer in detached garage. Only suggestion I would make to host is to provide check-in/check-out instructions w/ entry codes, Wi-Fi info, trash pick up info, check-out needs, etc. We never received anything and had to contact the host for entry codes. There was nothing on paper once in the house either. All in all a pleasure though, and would gladly stay again!

Great location Had difficulty with regulating the pool and hot tub due to the timer . took a few day
To fix it. Small issues, door didn’t lock, Ice machine didn’t work. Manager was responsive
Great location and once the pool timer was fixed we enjoyed the house more.
Would recommend having a book on restaurant recommendations and places to go.
