Great light filled space for my sister and my family with a lot of teens. This place is a regular home, so it has a more "lived in DIY" feel then a corporate property, but for us that was great. Lovely kitchen with tons of gadgets, great hot tub and outdoor backyard, basketball for my nephew, teen friendly spaces and even a Kawaii piano for my daughter to practice on. 10 minute stroll to fantastic beach and sunsets. Would definitely return and recommend.

Your home was just what we needed. I’m not sure we could count the bed in the cubby hole as a viable sleeping spot though. Minor issues- a few overhead lights out, 1st floor bathroom ( toilet seat needs replacing, directions for the many, many remotes (? all for the TV).

Accurate depiction of property. This owner does everything they can to have all you need for your trip. They have all the stuff. Amazing location. The only thing I would consider when booking is if you have pets. They have a lot of rules which is okay but a bit strict about pets.

Comfy beds, fluffy and soft towels and bed linens, well stocked kitchen and great layout for our multi generation family.

Great location
The house, backyard and location were all outstanding. Beach, dinning, coffee, bagels, dinning, market are all walking distance. The weather was great and we eat are meals outside. The yard is fenced in so if you have a dog it is great. The kitchen was stocked and very functional. Master bedroom was hug and very comfortable. We had six adults and the house held them easily. Only negative was the check in was 50 minutes late and when we asked for a late checkout we were denied. Also, ocean view is extremely limited. Despite that I would highly recommend this house and location.

This property is so clean and well appointed. It has everything you will need and more. The linens were so clean with fluffy towels and crisp sheets, like staying at a top hotel chain. The kitchen is a Dream kitchen. It was too cold to do any al fresco dining but we appreciated the lovely outdoor areas. The 2 huge flatscreen Smart TVs made for great group Netflix watching.

This house is spacious for a large family. Everything was labeled for convenience and the owner was very responsive with communication. The neighborhood was quiet yet the beach was in walking distance, as is a gourmet market and some eateries. The yard was fully enclosed for our dog. We were teens and adults.

Great for our Family
We loved the comfort of this home; had 5-6 adults and had plenty of space to have some other family members over for brunch. Enjoyed a family wedding on the beach and it was perfect. We had a problem with the AC unit but the owner promptly fixed it. The only other problem was that the house next door was having a major renovation and so we were awoken by the many contractors hammering and talking at 7 am. during the week. Great Master Suite and double shower. Good kitchen appliances and furnishings. Close proximity to restaurants and groceries (and beach!) Pretty flowers in neighborhood and charming backyard for lounging; fruit trees and butterflies. Plenty of towels provided and the washer/dryer unit was perfect for keeping beach towels and used clothing free of sand. Pricey place but felt like home right away!

Great Location!
Our extended family was in La Jolla for a wedding and this place was great! Central location, easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Quiet neighborhood and plenty of room for all our family. The kids enjoyed the trampoline and basketball goal and the outdoor space was nice for all the kids. The house was well appointed with kitchen supplies, beach chairs and beach towels. Great place!

Family friendly and fun
A great house for families. We comfortably slept 9. Our grandchildren loved the play area upstairs and spent plenty of time on the trampoline. While we encountered “June Gloom,” and saw little actual sunshine, we still enjoyed the beaches — especially the nearby WindandSea Beach we could walk to.

Great location walking distance to the beach. Make sure to check out the tide pools area at low tide. Plenty of room for our family gathering with a well appointed kitchen and a nice grill.

A wonderful property with a few quirks
We enjoyed our stay here very much. The house has been well updated, and provides a great space for a large family or group of friends. The yard is fenced, and was a great space for our Labrador Retriever to play ball. There are however, a few items that impacted our stay negatively.
The furniture in the living room is quite low and very soft. As a result, it is very difficult for older persons to get up after sitting on the couch. The beds are quite comfortable, however, they are on platforms and it is quite easy to hit your shins on the extending corners of the beds.
There is a covered sitting area in the yard with indoor furniture under a wooden roof. This was different furniture than that shown in the listing photographs. We did not find the area to be appealing at all. One incident with the owners, related to this furniture, left us a bit stunned. We received a message that their hostess would be coming to cover the furniture because rain was expected. She came by and we told her we had taken cushions from the patio chairs and moved them inside, thinking that these were the concern. We then received a message that it was important to cover the outside furniture because it was not water proof, and that the handy man would come buy and do this as well as clean the back patio and do the gardening. The handy man and a helper did indeed come by and did the gardening, but they did not cover the furniture. Two weeks later, we received another message, asking if we were able to protect the outside couches in the backyard from the rain. There was nothing provided for us to protect this furniture with, and we did not feel it was up to us to go and buy something to cover furniture. Later messages implied that it was our fault that this furniture had gotten wet. Frankly, we believe that this rental would be more attractive if it was returned to the way it is shown in the listing photos.

Lovely home close to beach with all the amenities you'll need
If you are looking for a nice place for a couple of families to share this is a great place in La Jolla. It isn't the biggest place available but it easily sleeps 9 and can sleep 10. Garden and barbecue make this a great place to walk back to after your day on the beach. Trampoline and basketball hoop add to the fun. Bring your wetsuit to surf the great waves along the coast. Everything else you need is provided!
Beds are comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need to make great meals for your group.
This is one of the best places I have rented in the past ten years and I would try to book it again if we go back to the San Diego area.

Property was delightful and delivered as promised
We found this a great property for a family vacation of 3 generations including 4 kids age 3-6. The trampoline, basketball hoop, long paved driveway for scootering, garden space for Lego building and the many "nooks" for child sleeping all were big hits with the kids. The outside dining patio, cumphy living room (and beds), and beautiful and large kitchen were the delight of the adults. It really is 2 block (though they are long) from the beach which was very nice for our taste and pretty quiet. It was not great for swimming (pretty violent waves) but wonderful for sand castles, sunbathing, and wading. It is hard for us to imagine you being dissatisfied with this home and location, if you want to be close to the beach.
We could recommend a few things though: there is not much dresser space in the bed rooms. The kitchen would do with a repaired ice maker and coffee maker and a few additional items like cookie sheets, plastic gallon sized pitcher, and pot holders. It would also be nice to have more towel bars in the bath rooms. None of these are show stoppers but would have been nice.
The worst thing about the place was the application process and communication. We applied and were not accepted in the stipulated time frame so Home Away sent us a notice to 'pick a different property'. It was just sheer perserverence that made me call the owner and then do all the application a second time that got us through that hurdle. I felt that "house rules"/terms and agreements were cumbersome, requiring far too much stuff to be sent to the owner when simply agreeing with the terms of Home Away should be (and ultimately were, after a number of back and forths with the owners) enough.

Wedding " Home Away from Home"
This was the perfect home base for our daughter's wedding. The house has a wonderful layout to accommodate multiple adults. It is well stocked for entertaining and cooking. We were able to host a post wedding breakfast with the spacious backyard seating and by making use of the local bagel and pastry shops.
The house is walking distance to a beautiful beach and beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, coolers and surf boards were all available at the house for our use.
Parking near the house was never an issue.
Wish we were still there!

Great time at Beach Barber property
We stayed four nights with two families (9 people) at this property. It was a comfortable place to stay. The kids loved having the basketball hoop and trampoline.
I would recommend staying there if you want to be in the La Jolla area.
