About this property

Steps to La Jolla Cove with Gorgeous Views, Village Living at its Finest!

Immerse yourself in La Jolla's village in our condo located steps away from La Jolla Cove. Located in one of the few areas of San Diego where a car truly is not needed, you can explore The Jewel of California by simply stepping out your front door. The Village is packed with incredible restaurants, cafes, shopping and museums. You can even explore an underwater cave at the Cave Shop. Outdoor activities right at your finger tips include hiking trails, beach walks, world class snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, tidepooling, swimming and so much more. Right across the street, you can sit on a bench at the famous Ellen Browning Scripps Park and watch the waves role in while pelicans and sea gulls dive for their afternoon snack.

However, you don't need to leave the condo to experience the beauty of La Jolla. Stay in, open the windows and let the ocean breeze take your worries away. There is nothing more mesmerizing than the astonishingly beautiful La Jolla Coastline visible from your living room couch. Our fully equipped and stocked kitchen makes meals at home easy and enjoyable. We have Air Conditioning (a rarity still along the coast in La Jolla) for those summer days when the ocean breeze can't cool you down completely. 2 full bathrooms, elegantly adorned, provide you with both a walk in shower and bath tub/shower to fit your preference. Comfy queen size beds and stylish beach decor provide a restful stay in our condo. We think you'll truly enjoy our Cove House Condo and all of the amenities of the Village and La Jolla Cove that are right outside your front door!

Perfect La Jolla Location

Attended our daughter’s graduation from USD and could not have stayed at a more perfect location with a host that is very thoughtful. It was beautiful, peaceful and located next to the park, dinning and shopping. A family friendly and lovely rental.

Quiet and Enjoyable Stay

My husband and I stayed at this property the few days leading up to our wedding in San Diego. The location was perfect, walking distance to so many stores and restaurants in La Jolla. A nice view of the ocean as well from the living room. The apartment was clean and super easy to check in to. We very much enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!

Paradise

Very well equipped, luxurious accommodations walking distance from a variety of excellent stores and restaurants and less than a block from the shore. Parking was provided but found a spot on the street right across from our gate that was not subject to any time restrictions. This section of La Jolla is a long time favorite spot to visit and would definitely plan another stay in this beautiful home. Highly recommend to other travelers.

Excellent location. There are some steps to the building so it can be difficult if you have small children with luggage etc. Otherwise everything was smooth. Parking is a block away unless you get lucky and get street parking but then it's La Jolla.

Outstanding location, beautiful house

Location is simply ideal for La Jolla vacation - you can't find a location that would be more "close by to everything". House is beautiful and very comfortable. To be honest, it has very funny entrance - you walking in through the side door of the restaurant, narrow hallway with restaurant's restrooms on the left side, you see some cheap door and starting to think that you did a mistake by renting it ...and then you open the door and in front of you is a polished grand staircase with mirrors, paintings and bamboo ikebana, leading to beautiful airy apartment in ideal condition. Kind of like you opening the door of the poor fisherman's hut and suddenly find yourself in the palace hall. :) By the way, the restaurant on the first floor was no any problem whatsoever - no any smell, no additional noise, nothing that can be qualified as negative or disturbing. General impression - hidden gem for La Jolla vacation.

Heart of La Jolla

The location was amazing. I loved being so close to the Cove and never having to use my car. I was above a restaurant that could be noisy in the day however they closed each night by 6 PM. The unit included a parking space in a covered parking garage one block away so never was stuck too far from the rental. The unit had a jetted bathtub and a spacious shower in the other bedroom which I liked the variety. The beds and bedding was super comfortable and the shades in the Master bedroom were great blocking out light. The hostess Stephany was awesome. One day I had an issue with the washing machine and she had a repairman out within an hour. The unit had air conditioning which was perfect because one day it was definitely needed. I would not hesitate to rebook. I had a fabulous stay.

Amazingly Perfect

I booked this spot for my wedding weekend- this was the perfect "bridal suite" with lots of space and natural light for hair and make up for 3 of us. The condo was fully stocked and we just couldn't stop complimenting everything. The only thing I would say was not perfect, there was a stinky smell (sewer/eggs) which wasn't too bad but if you are sensitive to smells - just be aware. Didn't ruin a thing and got used to it after a min or 2 The restaurant downstairs was perfect, we had our rehearsal dinner there! Reception was across the street at the Bridge Club so it was amazing to be able to watch it get set up as I was getting ready. The views are probably the best on the street. Parking in La Jolla is terrible, but once the shops close the streets empty and you can find a spot that isn't 2 hour. I parked in the same spot for 3 days with no problem. Seriously will book again, my guests also want to come back to this condo.

The communication with the host was excellent. Bonus that she allowed us to check in early because the unit was not rented the day before. The unit is exactly as described with some comments. The couch really needs replacing. Springs were popping through and it looked worn. It serves as a sofa bed in a clever way (w/o a mattress) so you are actually sleeping on the cushions. The bathroom sinks are so high, if you are short, they are so difficult to use. The flooring was nice and clean. there is a/c, and it was needed for the time we were there.The location was so perfect. We had a wedding at a rooftop 2 blocks away right across from the seals. A very short easy walk. Nice touch that they leave k-cups and snacks for the guests. That is very much appreciated even though we didn't use them. The weird thing is the entrance to the unit. You have to go through the inside of the restaurant to get to the unit. The bonus is the restaurant was right there and pretty good, because we did not want to cook. Little to no noise from the restaurant in the unit.All in all, it was a good choice for my family of 5 adults.

Location, location, location. It definitely is in a prime location which is a short walk to the beach, sea lions, seals, shops and restaurants. The apartment is nice with a fairly new kitchen and bathrooms. My only gripe was the couch which had noticeable springs in the cushions which made it impossible to get comfy on. I was told that it was only two years old but that did not help with the fact that it was unusable. Replace the couch and I'll give you five stars.

Great location! Very comfortable. We were worried restaurant would be loud and cause traffic but it closes at 6pm. No noise to speak of and getting in and out was easy. Kind of cool in a way. Owner was very responsive and helpful when we had an issue. Wish we could have stayed longer. Love La Jolla!

Great location

The property is nice. Entering through the hallway in the back of the restaurant is not a problem and we never noticed any noise from the restaurant. We were able to hear when they picked up the trash and made deliveries from the bedroom that is next to the stairway. The location is great and you have views of the ocean from some of the windows. I would stay again.

Host profile image
I live in San Diego and manage a few vacation rental properties around some of my favorite vacation spots. I grew up locally, so I can help with any pointers you might have about La Jolla or San Diego in general! I also live close by so I will be available very readily if you need anything at all. I don't usually bother my guests unless asked to:-)

Why they chose this property

This condo is located in an incredible spot for anyone wanting to come visit La Jolla and have everything right at your fingertips. It really couldn't be in a better location to spend your visit exploring La Jolla without the need of a car. It has a classy beach bungalow feel and many windows with views out to the ocean, hard wood floors throughout, nicely finished bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen and in-house washer dryer. It even has a/c, which is a still a rarity in homes close to the coast in La Jolla. The Cove House Condo has everything a person could want or need while enjoying La Jolla's incredible coastline!
