Cozy and convenient

This studio tucked down an alley is just a few steps away from downtown La Jolla Shores, convenient to restaurants, activities and walks on the beach. It’s nicely furnished with an updated kitchen and bathroom. I stayed there for 4 days on business, and found it a convenient place to be based for meetings in Torrey Pines, as well as a quiet space to work.

Mi Casitas

The newly renovated studio was a perfect fit for my husband and I and our 2 daughters. The studio was very clean w/ everything you need and brand new appliances...even a dish washer! The only thing I’d suggest is a blender (we missed our morning smoothies) and a King bed;-)) You can’t beat the location—less than two blocks to the beach and great restaurants are just steps away! They also thought of everything you’ll need for the beach. Chris was very friendly and responsive from beginning to end. We had such a pleasant and welcoming experience we plan to return again and again!:-))

Mi stay at casita

I was disappointed not to find a welcoming basket awaiting us, as I have in other places similar to this. I expected something especially with the cost of the unit. We arrived late in evening and would have appreciated having something around for morning before we could shop. Also it would be helpful if you give instructions on the air conditioning unit to indicate you have to hold it pointing to the unit in order to make it go. It took 2 warm nights to figure that out. Thought it was on but just lousy And a few more washcloths for three females for five nights would be good… only had four. Perfect location

We stayed in this property three times over a few years. If you plan active beach vacation with boards and wet suits, this property is ideal to handle this equipment. It also has a parking spot which is very important in area.

It was an unbelievable stay! Such an amazing location for walking and access to the beaches, shops, and restaurants. We were in town for a wedding in La Jolla and will be returning for sure for another leisure trip. I cannot say enough great things about the host and rental. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay!

This is our second time staying here. It was just as good this time around as the first. The location is great, as are the accommodations. Property management is very helpful and responsive, and everything is provided. One of the best choices for a stay in La Jolla Shores.

Great experience

A nice, private studio in a GREAT location. Very short walk to the beach and to a variety of restaurants. Short drive to Old Town San Diego and to Village of La Jolla. The alley parking had minor inconveniences. When we arrived we couldn't park because the city had the alley closed. Next day there was a car parked in what was supposed to be our parking spot, when the car finally moved, a different car parked in the alley blocking access to the parking spot. We were lucky to find parking on the street nearby. Overall, we would stay again and highly recommend.

Perfect location!

The unit is right next the beach and La Jolla shores restaurants. It’s very quiet, especially considering how centrally located the unit is. It was clean and well stocked with the essentials (kitchen supplies, dish soap, laundry detergent, beach toys, paper towels, etc). It’s a lower level unit with a side alley entrance but there are gates on both sides to block out any foot traffic so it feels very safe. Owners were very responsive and you can tell they genuinely want you to enjoy your visit. Perfect for our family of 3, wish we could have stayed longer!

Great Casita

The property was perfectly located in La Jolla Shores. Just a short 2 blocks from the beach and right behind the main strip of restaurants (which were all very good). The property was extremely clean and well laid out, which made it feel bigger than it was. Also, it is very conveniently located to other areas of San Diego and La Jolla (10 or so minute drive). Everything was provided including laundry detergent, beach chairs, beach toys and wagon. Definitely plan on staying here again.

Unbeatable location!

This property has a spectacular location, only a 5 minute, 2 block walk to the beach, and some of La Jolla’s best restaurants right outside the door. It was also so convenient to have the use of beach chairs, beach equipment, and beach umbrellas available for our use. It was a perfect size for two adults. Our only issue was the persistent smell of sulfur from the bathroom and sink drains. I reached out to Leti and she was able to assess the property during our stay and had a plumber in after we vacated to fix the issue. I wish this had been rectified sooner as some other tenants before us had mentioned the same in their reviews and it wasn’t fixed at that time, but overall we had a pleasant stay and appreciated the incredible convenience of the location.

Why they chose this property

We have worked our entire lives for everything we have earned to be able to purchase this beach property. We wanted to share this small piece of paradise with our family, friends and vacationers from around the world. 'Mi Casa es Su Casa'.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location and an exquisitely refurbished property, what a unique combination! 2 minute walk to a world-class beach for families with great swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and surfing, among other beach sports. Next door and across the street access to Surf lessons & rentals for snorkeling, kayaking, etc.

Small village-beach appeal with authentic owner-operated restaurants, featuring Parisian style outdoor dining (no late night noise). All La Jolla destinations within minutes drive or even better a leisurely bike ride or walk.

Easy access to the freeways. San Diego's Sea World, Downtown Gaslamp Quarter, Seaport Village, Petco Park, the world famous Zoo, Torrey Pines PGA golf course and Del Mar Race Track, amongst a host of other destinations, all within a 20 minute drive or less. Enjoy wine tasting at vineyards 1 hour away in Temecula.
All centrally located to the beach, the village and your favorite cultural venues. Why not enjoy Thanksgiving or Christmas on the beach. Ice Skate by the Ocean at the famous Hotel Del Coronado and see the largest indoor tree decorated from floor to ceiling.
