About this property

Villa Tranquila- House with Yard! 3 minute walk to direct beach access!

Private Cottage-style home with yard about 15 houses from the beach!

This property has provided lodging to amazing guests since the 40's. Gregory Peck and other movie stars were rumored to stay in these cottages while in town for performances at the La Jolla Playhouse. Some say their presence left the home charmed.

This 1920's crafstman-style home with it's little yard is a true gem. As a vintage home in a relatively quiet neighborhood, it's perfect for guests wanting more tranquility than the party-heavy areas of SD. E

njoy indoor or outdoor dining. The vintage kitchen has what you need to prepare meals from scratch including a spice rack and condiments. The outdoor and indoor tables each seat four.

The cozy living room has a soft, down-stuffed sofa that can seat 2 adults and 2 little kids. This cozy little room is most comfortable when the sofa bed is in couch position, however, if you need a 3rd bed, the Queen sofa bed is great for lightweight adults and kids.

Our 2-bedroom/ 1 bath offers the following:
-Main bedroom with queen bed, drawers, closet, a window, access to the bathroom. Villa Tranquila has a second entrance to bathroom via the mudroom off the kitchen. It has an air conditioner for Summer. Other times of year, the home stays quite comfortable with natural ventilation.

-The guest room offers a tall, full-size platform bed with a lot of space for luggage beneath it. It's small with no closet but has clothing storage. It has a large window to let in natural light and beachy air. It comes with a fan for cooling.

Security screen doors at front and back of house allow ocean breeze to naturally refresh the home while you're in it or away.

Enjoy outdoor dining with a private-use outdoor space and a table that seats 4.

Our single-bathroom homes are most comfortable for up to 4 guests. You can book two or three of our side-by-side villas for up to 15 guests, book this property and the adjacent 2-bedroom with ocean-air deck (property ID 19384122) or add the sunny studio with private patio (property ID 6830050).

A/C window unit available May through September

COOL WEATHER NOTES: Please dress warm. There's a wall heater in the guest room. The warmth reaches the living room but many guests feel the need to also use a space heater. The home includes one portable heater that can be moved from room to room as needed.

Your booking helps Luckydog rescue pets and our villas are perfect for dog-centric vacations.

Thank You For Booking with us!

This is a 1920's, humble, pet-friendly home. It is not high-end. All surfaces guests are expected to touch are kept clean by the housekeeping crew. Surfaces are kept as fur-free and sand-free as is practicable for our low cleaning price. In 25+ years of renting these homes, we have never had an issue with bed bugs thanks to a non-toxic product we use. Our non-toxic pest control may take a few days to kill bugs. If you aren't comfortable with seeing an occasional pest and giving us the necessary time to remove them with safety in mind, please don't book this home.

Pets must be clean and be on flea control (for a non-toxic option, look into Lufenuron).

Needs major updating
Location is good however house is very old and appears to not have been updated in decades. House is very small and unfortunately provided for an unpleasant experience.

The Yard
We loved the house itself and the character. One of the reasons we rented this particular place is because of our dogs. The advertisement showed a small side yard with grass, a BBQ grill, a small dining table and a fenced yard. When we arrived we were very disappointed to see grass that was 1.5- 2 feet tall, multiple large weeds growing and some were 6 ft tall (used my height as a reference) and the weeds could be seen over the fence line. The fence was rotted and falling apart. We could not access the BBQ or the the table, nor could we sit out in the yard. Our dogs had minimal safe space to run and use the bathroom. The back patio had pavers and ivy/ vine growth which was fine excpet for the fact that there were building materials covered by a tarp, yard debris, beach items, etc. It was also concerning that the neighboring rental space had door/ gate access (which they used) to our patio space which again was unsafe for our dogs and intrusive upon out privacy. Again, we loved the house and the character and will say give this place a try with exception of the yard/ patio space.

Dog Friendly Small Older Home
We needed a place with an enclosed backyard for our small dog. Backyard was the perfect size, but needed some cleaning up. (Huge weeds and the palm tree leaves needed to be cut. Had to duck under the leaves to clean up after our dog.) Only used the microwave and fridge in the kitchen since we brought our own coffee maker, but it appeared well stocked. Shower water pressure is very low, but the hand held nozzle helped tremendously. Overall, we had a good stay and Nick was very nice and let us check in early. Neighborhood was quiet which we liked and parking on the street worked out fine. The price was perfect for our short stay.

Spring Break
The cottage is adorable and comfortable. We just wish the little yard had been better taken care of; lots of tall weeds and unmoved grass. But better than a suite at a hotel.
