The second level terrace has direct ocean and coastal views and is equipped with another lounge, fire pit and sun lounges.

The house was perfect for our group (2 families of 5 and our 2 parents -12 total), layout of the house was really great, lots of outdoor living space and so close to the beach. We also appreciate the little extras that a lot of rental properties do not provide (trash bags, paper products, shampoo/conditioner, hair dryers, etc). We had everything we needed and the hosts were fabulous as well. Communication was quick and easy. Highly recommend!

This is a lovely home that very nicely accommodated our group of 12 friends for a golf trip. It was very clean and the younger guys enjoyed the pool table and spa.There are two areas with large comfortable sofas and the kitchen was well equipped for our needs. our hosts were VERY responsive and accommodating. This place is a gem!

We're glad the spacious living areas and well-equipped kitchen met your needs, and that our team’s responsiveness and flexibility made your stay even more enjoyable.
We were in LaJolla for a reunion/retirement party. We needed 5 bedrooms. The home is just steps away from the beach, a short walk to the aquarium. The home was perfectly cleaned. Perfect blend of private space and whole-group gathering, inside and outside. We loved playing shuffleboard and we cooked in most meals. It was cool at night but the fire pit and hot tub made us toasty. Would definitely suggest for a large family or group of friends.

Loved finding a property that accommodated our entire family. Spacious, well-appointed, room to park four vehicles on site, 10 min walk to the beach. Really appreciated having the pool table and secondary living room upstairs. A great getaway!

We rented this as a home base for the week of our son’s wedding. It was absolutely perfect in every way. Plenty of space, beautifully upgraded interiors, lots of space to spread out for a large family. Would rent this home over and over! Everything was so well done, it made our trip easy and memorable.

Thank you for sharing your stay with us, Jacqueline! We're happy to know that our vacation home could be the perfect home base for such a special occasion. It’s wonderful to hear that the space, upgrades, and layout worked so well for your family. We’d love to host you again for future visits whether for another celebration or just a relaxing getaway. Wishing your son and the newlyweds all the best!
Absolutely beautiful place. For the price, some features should have been better tended (upstairs patio fire pit had empty propane tank, trash and recycling outside were completely full from the previous renters) and the distance to the beach was farther than it appeared online… but the house was absolutely perfect for an extended family vacation together. Decor is fabulous. Parking situation was amazing.

The area was lovely and the nearby beach was quite beautiful. The house had some issues, please be aware that if you stay in the upstairs bedroom, you have to turn the thermostat which is downstairs way way down so everyone’s sleeping downstairs freezes but the people upstairs do not Have to sleep at a hot temperature. Wi-Fi was a bit spotty, particularly when trying to do zoom meetings. Also, this is possibly a private bathrooms on the bottom floor so that some of the family members are sleeping downstairs, and there are four bedrooms downstairs do not have a private bathroom.
