This is a great condo in a great area. The unit is very updated, modern and well equipped. The bed in the master is a king but the mattress is very soft so be aware of that. The parking under the building is easy to use and convenient.
Great place for a family of four. Exceeded our expectations and the location is perfect! One block from the beach and main strip. We love this location.
The property was situated a short walk from the beach, kid-friendly play areas, and top-notch eateries. Underground garage parking was convenient and the condo was tactfully decorated. Downsides were that we had some critters for houseguests, the neighbors were noisy, and off-street parking was tricky. Otherwise, it was a wonderful place to stay!
Really cannot say enough about La Jolla Shores. We come every/every other summer. We’ve stayed at this property before and it was just as great - even a few updates to the kitchen and bathrooms. Clean. Spacious. Great area and location.
The location is great, with the beack, restaraunts, bars, acquarium, all walkable. The home was well appointed and had a very modern interior. Perfect stay in La Jolla for our family of five.
Our family of four loved our stay at this condo! The home was spacious and nicely renovated. Location near the beach and the "downtown" can't be beat. We'd happily stay here again.
My daughters, mother, and I had a great stay here! My five year old kept remarking on what a nice place this was. We loved being able to walk to the beach and local restaurants. The beds were so comfortable and everything was clean. We would love to stay here again!
This was a great place to stay for our family of six, including two toddlers. The size was comfortable for our group. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach or restaurants/shops. The property manager was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. Would recommend!
Beautiful home, easy access to beach and restaurants, what more could you ask for! We look forward to returning with our young family.
