We have come here for years. We love it! Wonderful place with everything you need! So close to the beach, shops , and restaurants! You don’t have to drive the entire time unless you want to because it is all a close walk! The owner is a doll and very responsive if you need something. Thank you again!

Very clean place, and we love that it was so close to the beach. We would like to comment on how thin the walls / floors are, and we could hear the upstairs neighbors all night. Also, we like to cook on our vacations, but many of the pans in the kitchen were too scratched to cook with.

This property was even better than I expected!! big size, living room, and kitchen area and open floor plan, nice bedrooms with soft sheets and good pillow pillows. The place was extremely clean when we arrived!! we also left the place very clean when we left:) the parking spot was perfect to be on the beach since there is really not parking down on the Shores that it’s easy. My girls and I took beach chairs to the beach one day and we went to all the restaurants and beach shops. We did hear the people above us walking around. But I knew this going in and the noise was not bad at all. The neighbors in this 4 place condo were kind/pleasant and all respectful. I highly recommend this VRBO property.

His property has all the comforts of home and the location was excellent. It’s pet friendly too. The parking spot was a bonus due to the proximity to the beach, restaurants and shops.

It was a great pleasure to have you here, your were an excellent guest. Fees your were charged were cleaning fee, and pet fee, because you had a dog with you. The home is cleaned and sanitized professionally and this is a very modest fee for all the work cleaning people do. Thank you again for staying here, and hope you come back.

Great Vacation

We had a great stay at the condo! The location was perfect, one block from the beach. The condo was clean and perfect for our family. It had all the amenities we needed. The only drawback was parking. It was a little tight with our large SUV. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Perfect location & well set up

This is a great location from which to explore San Diego for a family of 4 or similar size group. Just steps from La Jolla Shores and central to almost everything else. As photos reflect, the condo is small and you won't want to stay inside long during the days, but it is well furnished and very comfortable--and you are practically at the beach already so have no reason to be indoors! We really enjoyed our stay.

Great location

Amazing location in LA Jolla shores. Close to shops, cafe, restaurants and the beach. Bottom unit has space for five (2 adults, three kids). Nice kitchen. As of July 2018, the building next to it is being renovated, which is noisy during the week from about 8 am to 4 pm. Otherwise, I'd stay here again.

La Jolla Shores spring break!

Family of four here, kids 13 and 14. Great condo in a four unit building. Clean, well laid out, comfortable. Location was absolutely perfect for us! Amazingly quiet at night while still very close to beach, restaurants, and shops. Parking is a bit tight, but it works. Easy to drive to other adventures, but we loved not having to! Thanks for an amazing vacation, can’t wait to go back!
