Charming House in La Jolla Neighborhood Just 2 Blocks from the Beach!
About this house rental
Family Home in the Heart of La Jolla Still owned by the original family, this comfortable home built in 1942 has been the source of many happy memories over the decades. Located in a beautiful residential neighborhood of La Jolla, this home is sure to make you feel comfortable right away with so much of its original charm. Hardwood flooring throughout and a spacious layout is perfect if you're staying as a group. Three comfortable bedrooms and a bonus room (with sofa sleeper) provide the ideal setting for a family game or movie night retreat. The original kitchen just welcomed a facelift with freshly painted cabinets, but didn't lose character with its vintage style sink and countertops. You're sure to cook up some memorable family meals in this spacious kitchen, equipped with Viking appliances and even some 'classic' cookbooks that are sure to bring back memories of your own childhood. With so much space to enjoy family time around the dining room table or in the living room, you'll be equally delighted by the beautiful outdoor space – a rare find in the immediate area! Your private backyard oasis provides yet another opportunity for quality time together. Lounge seating around a cozy fire pit, BBQ grill and family-style table for outdoor dining – and a relaxing soak in the hot tub make your stay 'just right' after a long day at the beach or exploring the area. In the back yard you'll also find fresh avocados when in season! This tree, planted by the family in 1944, stands tall 75 years later, and still produces some of the best avocados around. There is also a delicious fig tree, so when the fruit is ripe, help yourself and enjoy! Prime Location This residential neighborhood of La Jolla is very quiet. It sits just ½ mile from the water's edge at the beautiful and serene Windansea Beach. Take the short, 12-minute walk, or enjoy a bike ride on one of the beach cruisers provided. With no shortage of food and beverage choices in the immediate are, you can stay close to home or venture into downtown La Jolla for some of the best restaurants San Diego has to offer. After a meal, why not take in some boutique shopping, art galleries and more! Other wonderful options include the nearby community of Bird Rock, which also offers shopping and art galleries, the Children's Pool to see the seals, tide pools, Birch Aquarium – the possibilities are endless, and your family will never be bored! You are also surrounded by the beautiful state nature preserves of Torrey Pines which offers one of the most popular hiking destinations in all of San Diego. The Torrey Pines hike is family friendly, and the reward is so great when you can see dolphins playing in the surf or when you make it to the beach below! * This house DOES have air conditioning. ** Fourth Bedroom is a converted bonus room with a sleeper sofa. *** No cable TV. Smart TV's are provided.

We came to La Jolla to celebrate my in-laws' 70th anniversary.
There was plenty of space in the house for my family of 5 adults, and for entertaining my wife's large family for dinners. Plenty of seating, a well-equipped kitchen, a large refrigerator. The firepit was a nice touch. Although we didn't have a lot of TV time, there were plenty of TVs with a lot of apps for viewing. My one complaint is plumbing. The toilet would run periodically all night, the water filter wouldn't turn off. And when we reported it, they just turned the filter off and we couldn't use it. Minor inconveniences, and I would definitely stay there again if I need to house the whole family.

This little old house in LaJolla was a perfect getaway for our sister's trip! My only complaint was the squeaky floors. Any time early in the morning or late at night when others were sleeping and someone was walking around, we could all hear them. The old charm and quirky characteristics of the house were fun but the floors could use some updating to help with better sleeping. Other than that, I would highly recommend!

This was such a perfect home and a perfect stay. It was my wife and 14 month old daughter along with my in-laws. The house was absolutely ideal for what we needed. Close to the beach and shop/restaurants. The backyard was perfect for our child to play and run around. Overall I could not of asked for a better stay

Had a blast with my sister and her family in La Jolla near the beach. Great for families with kids and we were able to walk almost everywhere and hardly ever drove the car. Loved hanging out in the morning and evenings in the backyard.

The location is great and the space is good. Our son loved the back yard. However, the listing is not accurate with regard to Television, which messed with our morning routine having a newborn and two year old.... the property manager was not helpful in that regard.
We also checked-in to a dirty house. The outdoor furniture was filthy and the floors throughout the house were clearly not cleaned. The kitchen counters had dried up food on them, etc.
The cost of this property is based on location, and nothing more.

Our vacation was to allow our children to experience the ocean for the first time. This house was the perfect place to stay! Clean and cozy. Close to the ocean, shopping, and restaurants. The only negative was the road construction going on the entire length of our stay. The parking area was inaccessible and the noise went late into the night. Otherwise, the perfect beach getaway!

Vintage Ranch Home in La Jolla
This home offers plenty of smallish rooms that can work for sleeping a larger group. The kitchen was redone in 1970 and we got a kick out of the 1970's " modern" sink and design. The kitchen lay out is a little odd but workable. There's a small table in the kitchen and another in the front room that can seat a larger group. This is a residential area next to the high school. I'm sure it can be busy during school days but we were there over a 3 day weekend so it was pretty quiet. It's a 10 minute walk to the beach and also, in another direction to the downtown that is full of shops and restaurants. The backyard is nice for small children and has a shaded patio area. The house was clean, the real beds (not sure about the the futon or sleeper sofa) were comfortable, the cabinets contained plenty of kitchen silverware, etc. FYI there are extra blankets in the closet along with a plastic baby chair to attach to one of regular chairs. You can get 2 cars in the driveway if you park very closely. And there is street parking. Some things in the house have been updated and others have not--but everything is functional. This home is well worn but its a friendly spot for a family to enjoy. I wish there had been more than one house key. The management company was responsive and polite.

Better than expected!
We expected a pretty bare bones house as the description listed minimal supplies provided, but previous tenants had left plenty of spices, etc and there were a handful of games and toys for our young kids (plus a booster chair). We stayed in August and even on warm days the breeze through open windows was more than enough to keep the house cool. The yard is great and there was ample parking in the area. A word of caution--the high school is across the street so during the year it is probably louder/busier. Great location and great space for a family.

Great house, perfect location
This house was great for our vacation! There were 4 adults and 1 child and the accommodations were perfect. Close to town, the grocery store, restaurants, and walking distance to the beach (although you do have to cross a busy road). Comfortable beds, spacious kitchen and living room and nice bathrooms. Great back yard and rec room. Working BBQ, but the bikes need air in the tires. Overall a wonderful experience. Thanks for having us!

Charming beachside getaway
Very comfortable home. Had a lovely few days with 2 adults and 5 kids in this 3+ bedroom home. Easy walk to the beach and restaurants/shopping. Easy driving distance for San Diego outings. Being next to a school the traffic in the morning is surprisingly busy but not out of hand. Well appointed kitchen in terms of pots/gadgets but no oil, salt/pepper, spices, aluminum foil etc so bring your own.

Great vacation house!
This home was a great find. The location was perfect to access all the San Diego attractions we wanted to see. I loved the fact that you could walk to the beach and the village in La Jolla from the house. It was immaculate, well equipped, and child friendly. There was enough space for two families with kids and it did not feel crowded. I would definitely recommend the house and go back again.

Family Friendly-great backyard to run and play
Stayed here with husband, 2 year old and grandma...was nice to have ranch house with enough space for everyone. My son loved running around the pretty lawn in back and I loved that yard was fenced in!
There was lots of dishes, and fully stocked kitchen including a kitchen aid mixer! That being said there was NOTHING not even salt and pepper, so be ready to hit von's down the street. And they only give you 1 paper towel roll and 2 rolls of tp per bathroom...so seriously bring stuff if you plan on being here a week or with a bigger group!
It is located directly behind La Jolla High school and we found it a bit noisy for us (also located on main road at corner with a stop sign) and with no a/c in August all the windows were open (might not be a big deal other times of the year)
Note ** It is .4 mi from beach maybe 2 map blocks but at least 10 min walk...which was fine for us but just sayin'

Easy to find and full of supplies!
This home is in a great location; two blocks from the beach and one block from fabulous tacos, and about 10-15 minute drive from anywhere in San Diego!! The house has plenty of windows to circulate the nice breeze from outside. It is fully equipped with towels, kitchen utensils, two boogie boards, and two older beach cruiser bikes. The backyard is fully fenced with a ten foot privacy fence and has a mini fridge to keep your beers chilled! This was perfect for our group of three separate families. We would stay again. There were four TV's but we did not use them.
