La Jolla Cottage, cutest cottage at Windansea Beach!
About this cottage rental
THE LA JOLLA COTTAGE HAS JUST BEEN COMPLETELY REMODELED! This adorable beach cottage is located right at the famous Windansea Beach. It is perfect for a romantic getaway or just a zen retreat. Part of a duplex, it has its own private entrance and back patio. We started with replacing all the windows with new dual pane windows for more comfort. Then we replaced all the flooring with engineered wood in the living room and new tile in the bedroom and kitchen. We knocked down some walls around the kitchen making it wide open and able to look over the living room area. A breakfast nook was built in with comfortable seating and the kitchen has all new quartz counter tops, cabinets and new appliances. All the new appliances are LG and we now have a dishwasher - yay for that! We had insulation put in the ceiling for added warmth in winter and to help keep cool in the summer. There is AC and overhead fans also for your summer comfort. The interior was painted and new furniture purchased for the living room. The bathroom now has a walk in shower surrounded by new tiled walls and a new vanity. We offer all guests at this cottage a free fluff and fold service. The outside of the duplex has also been painted, with new outdoor furniture, a new propane bbq and a whole new fresh look! We are pet friendly and just a block away is a great bike path for walking the pups. Please note there is a pet fee associated with staying in the cottage. It is a simple stroll to the famous Windansea Beach and a short walk to lots of fun restaurants and bakeries. Walk right into town in less than 20 minutes and enjoy the dozens of restaurants, shops, antiques and art galleries that La Jolla has to offer. The La Jolla Cottage is a place that you won't want to leave and will want to come back every year... Come and experience San Diego in this beautifully updated Cottage. It is just a 5 minute walk until you are on the sand! We provide beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, beach toys, boogie boards and beach wagon all for your enjoyment. Beach Cruiser Bikes are available upon request. There is off-street parking only. WiFi and cable are provided and there is a very comfortable queen size pull-out couch as well - with extra bedding. The back patio has a gas grill and offers lots of privacy. We are pet friendly and it is just a short walk to a lovely park and bike path where all the locals run the dogs.

The location of the property was very good for our family vacation and parking was not an issue for us. The property itself was a little dusty upon arrival and we had to clean off a few surfaces before settling in. A few light switches did not work, we had trouble with the cable of one of the TVs and we had a bit of trouble with the pull out couch before we were able to get it set up. Overall, it was a functional unit and met our needs.

We had a wonderful stay in the La Jolla Cottage. The updated kitchen and bathroom are beautifully done. Everything was clean and cozy. The kitchen is well equipped and you will have everything you need to cook during your stay. Like other reviews have stated, this rental does not have a washer and dryer on property.

Overall a good place to stay outside the city of San Diego. They need to update property information that NO washer and dryer on site. However, they do free laundry which was a blessing! No trash bags in trash cans so we had to use things we had for trash.

Photographs well, but smelly and dirty and small with an uncomfortable bed and a bathroom faucet that turns on by itself when the irrigation goes on.

Great location close to the beach
We had an amazing time staying in La Jolla. Our only complaint is that the listing says that there is a washer and drier. There is not. Also the listing says garage parking. There was only street parking.

We took a small family birthday trip to the ocean for a short week. The cottage was really close to the beach and was a super cute place to stay. Our kids were able to comfortably sleep on the couches without having to convert them to beds (the option was there, they just didn't want to.) We were a little confused with the trash and laundry situation because it was different than the instructions, but the management company was very responsive and we had no problems with either. The only tricky situation was finding a place for our dog to stay while we were at the beach or birthday restaurants between 9am and 6pm (dogs not allowed on the beach during those hours). There was an EXCELLENT doggy daycare nearby, so our fur baby made plenty of new friends in between fun with the family too. The complimentary drinks and candies were a nice touch, I loved the coconut smelling soaps provided, and there were cute little color coordinated touches inside and out. Overall, this was a great spot for a low key vacay. We'll be coming back in a future visit for sure.

La Jolla Cottage
Great location. Easy walk to Windansea Beach and many eateries, Nautica Tavern, Busy Bee Bagel Shop. Easy 10 minute drive to La Jolla Cove area. The Cottage was nice, but could use some touch up painting. If bringing pets be aware that the enclosed backarea is about 8x8. Pictures can be miss leading. Overall a nice property. 6 out of 10 rating.

Great location close to beach and La Jolla. Well stocked and dog friendly. Place was clean and as described. Could use a place outside to wash feet to avoid tracking in sand.

Perfect distance from beach: away from noise & crowds but easy 1/4 to 1/2 mile walk to beach or if you go east there is an excellent walk/bike trail with great views. The house is clean & has everything you need to cook and live comfortably. The back patio & fire pit is great for outside entertaining. The neighborhood is quiet at night and any party noise dies off at 9pm. Overall great experience & will definitely stay again

My husband and i got married in La Jolla and stayed a week for a short little honeymoon. The cottage was perfect for us. It was really cute and very clean. The neighborhood is very quite at night and within walking distance to the beach,restaurants and shopping. The cottage has everything you need maybe just bring extra toilet paper. Lol The only thing i missed was our king size bed. But if you like to snuggle it will be perfect. We would rent this cottage again.

My adult daughter and I loved our stay. Communication and ease of booking was great and the home is decorated very nicely with all of the kitchen and household amenities including a welcome snack basket. Only 1.5 blocks to the beach and located in a quiet neighborhood it was just perfect for us. We loved our stay and will definitely look to book there again.

Great location! We were able to walk to everything in LaJolla, and San Diego was just a short bus ride away - we decided not to rent a car, and this location made that possible. You could hear the waves, and the 1 block walk to the sunset each evening made the location perfect. We did have one issue, but it was responded to quickly. We will recommend this location to others, and might be back ourselves.

Loved it!
Such a cute house, very clean and so close to the beach. This is the first time I've stayed in a house that provides every type of kitchen supplies. We were able to cook some meals and enjoyed our stay. It was pet friendly and a dog park up the street and the beach was about a 5-7 min walk. The patio was great with a grill. It was perfect for a quiet and relaxing vacation with the pups. Thank you.

Clean and comfortable home with all the amenities
We were so happy with our stay. The property was recently renovated and very clean. The size of the house was very comfortable for our family of four (young children). The back patio was so cute and convenient. Lots of beach equipment and a great washer and dryer in the garage. Check in was a dream and the management was very responsive and helpful when I checked in a day early by mistake. Fabulous property and management!

fun in the sun
We loved our little home away from home near the beach. It was cozy and comfortable. We had internet problems on the first day and had an almost immediate response from the manager and had better speeds than we ever have at home. The kitchen was updated and we cooked many wonderful meals.

Amazing time in La Jolla with my wife and daughter. Enjoy that we were close to the beach and safe bike path from home to Mission Beach. Also walking distance from coffee shop and La Jolla pool

Convenient location but ridiculous Dog rules/not as described
We booked this place for 4 nights, which was a lot for us and our big trip this year. The reason we booked it was to bring our dogs to SD! It allowed dogs but we didn't know UNTIL had booked that could not leave unattended at any time. That was the whole point of not getting a hotel! Then it was advertised as having grass and an area in the back... well , that area was occupied by other renters' unit and although they were very nice, it felt too awkward to go over there! And one window of our bedroom was overlooking this area! So not set up well in that way at all. My husband walked around the other unit to get to garage each time (not through). We had a tiny patio, which back to having dogs, wasn't helpful. It really should not have been described as part of the rental on our unit's side.
Finally, the AC is why we booked it with having dogs. It was one wall unit, and of all places, over the kitchen table we didn't use. Was VERY warm and stuffy In back bedroom, until later at night.
Positives are not far from Beach and very clean. (But not updated at all). When think of how much we paid, it really bums me out, didn't relax much bringing dogs everywhere all 4 days for everything. Also signs about "grumpy about everything" nearby neighbors didn't help either! Honestly, wish had just done a hotel with dogs.
Our first VRBO experience, and sad about it!

Great little apartment steps away from the beach!
Great little apartment. Kitchen has most things you'll need, back yard with gas grill ready for cook outs! The check in and out process was very easy. This apartment is on a quiet street 3 blocks off Windansea Beach. Cozy yet big enough for couple or small family. A/C was nice to come home to after a day in the sun. We used the beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and boogie boards daily! New washer and dryer means you can pack fewer clothes and just run a quick load! Loved everything. We will stay again!
