Perfect Location

We loved our stay, the residence is in the perfect location to walk to everything. Owners were very helpful and friendly. We were in town for a family wedding and this location was a perfect get away. It was wonderful to have coffee and drinks on the patio in between festivities. Our friends that joined us said that the pull out bed from the couch was very comfortable. We would stay again

Weekend with daughter and grandkids

We loved the outdoor patio. We didn’t have a car so the location was ideal to walk everywhere. We didn’t want to eat out so we really enjoyed the large grill on the patio. Beds were very comfortable.

We were able to walk around la Jolla everyday and try different restaurants in the area. We walked to the beach easily. The patio was a very nice place to relax. The entire Casita felt very private. We had a great vacation!

A great spot

we had a great time as it was a few minute walk to coffee shops and the ocean in the morning and restaurants and shopping in the afternoon and evening. The hosts recommendations on where to go to eat etc were all great!! LaJolla was our favourite spot on our trip. :)

La Colla Cove gem

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Spanish Steps casita near La Jolla Cove. The place was clean and well equipped and, as we were there in December, the two space heaters and super soft extra blankets came in handy. Erik and Yvonne were very helpful and responsive, and they provided a thorough and accurate list of neighborhood bistros, most within walking distance. We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again.

Cute casita

It was our 30th wedding anniversary and the hosts had a bottle of bubbly on ice for us on our arrival which we loved. The apartment is cute but could use some updating, especially the carpeting. Many of the dishes had chips which is an easy fix. The location is great as it is in walking distance to many restaurants and the cove. Would recommend

Cute

Great location, nice neighborhood, the Casita is full of characters! The kichenlet is only good for cook a breakfast. If anyone has a problem to fall into sleep, it should be considered that the traffic noise around the bedroom. The authentic carpet really shows the aging.

Excellent cottage!

We absolutely loved your cottage. The location was perfect, everything was clean and organized. The PATIO. Wow! We were there for my son’s wedding and the patio was fantastic when we had multiple people stopping by to say hello. My friend and I assembled the rehearsal dinner flowers out there and loved being outside. All agreed that our place was the “score” of the weekend compared to what they rented. We will be back!

This is a cozy place in La Jolla. We were able to walk everywhere, which was great. The place was clean and the hosts were very responsive throughout the process. We loved the outdoor patio area. We also appreciated the fans provided, since we knew there was no air conditioning. We kept the windows open and the fans running, which also provided great white noise since the place is on a busy intersection. We would definitely stay there again! Thanks to Eric and Yvonne for being excellent hosts. They even allowed us to check in quite early on Friday, which was much appreciated.

Check-in was quick. Quick response to all messages I sent thru the VRBO app. Kitchen had everything we needed. Bathroom has shower and tub. Patio is so comfy to read or play on your phone, especially at sunset. Sleeping in the living room (closest to the busy intersection) was a little louder than I expected because it was warm and we kept the windows open, but we couldn’t hear the traffic at all from the bedroom. I’m still leaving 5 stars because the description is very thorough and we had no surprises. Just make sure to read the full details and you’ll love it here! Very walkable area and homeowners were kind and super responsive! Would stay here again!

A La Jolla retreat

Wonderful 4-night stay. Comfortable, well-equipped, clean, cozy but spacious, easy walk to groceries and cafes in the heart of La Jolla village. Off street parking is a huge advantage, although you need a bit of practice to get in and out of the driveway on a busy corner. Great local info and directions from our hosts. Loved the elevated and covered patio for morning coffee. There is street noise, but never enough to bother us even when we kept the windows open all the time for those beautiful cool ocean breezes. Will plan to stay there again on any other visit to the area!
