About this cottage rental

Located in La Jolla, this charming cottage for $425 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. La Reinita translates as 'the Queen'. And a Queen it is. Built on a hill overlooking the pacific it was one of the first homes built in La Jolla by the first village's doctor. But please don't get the idea that it is old, on the contrary, it is very new inside with an up to date kitchen and modern comfy furniture.It is where historic and zen come together. You enter the cottage property through a wrought iron gate past a small office building. Outdoor seating and a hot tub great you in the backyard. As you enter the cottage you are greeted by hardwood floors, panoramic ocean views and a wonderful living room. There is a sofa bed in the living room and a comfy chair that are directed towards a large mounted TV and an electric fireplace. Two chairs are set up for ocean viewing and reading. To the right as you enter is the kitchen and dining area that seats four. Windows look out on the lawn with beautiful gardens. The motif is black and white with all up to date appliances and a fully equipped kitchen. On the far side of the living room to the right is a master bedroom. Very cozy with a queen bed and full bath room. To the left of the living room is an outside deck with ample seating, patio umbrella, fire pit, and hot tub! all in an ocean view spot. By the door leading to the deck is a spiral staircase leading to a second master bedroom with a queen bed and 3/4 bathroom. A washer and dryer is just around the corner. The colors are white beige and blue making it very cottage like but with a strong Zen feel of peace and comfort and tranquility. The home can sleep 5 Other amenities include: Wi-Fi, cable TV, apple TV, A/C, washer and dryer, and 1 parking spot located in the garage next door. The cottage has a yard. The seating/bbq/hot tub areas are in the back side of the yard, next to the cottage, and are for the use of the cottage guests. Vendors - gardeners, hot tub cleaners- will have access to the yard when necessary. There is also a deck attached to the front commercial building. That deck is for the use of the commercial builiding tenants. To access the deck they need to go through the iron entrance gate and the front side of the yard. For these reasons guests that bring dogs will be asked to keep them on a leash when out in the yard.

This cottage is walking distance to everything in the Village of La Jolla: grocery, restaurants, waterfront. We were there a week. It's rustic but it grew on us due to it's amazing access to all that La Jolla has to offer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in La Jolla. The cottage is cute, quaint, peaceful and delightfully rustic. Loved the entrance covered in ivy. It seemed like our own little secret cottage. Loved it all! If I wanted to give any small area which could be improved upon, it may be the comfort of the living room furniture, but I dont expect ultra expensive comfy stuff. We coped and the trip was wonderful...thanks so much!

We stayed at this property for two weeks with our family of four (2 adults, one 4 year old and one toddler under 2). It was absolutely perfect and blissful. The views from the balcony and within the property are amazing and you can even hear the waves from the balcony. There little garden area was perfect for our littles ones. When you step into the garden from the street, it is instantly tranquil and quiet. This place was truly an oasis! It was about a 5 minute walk to Shell beach and within walking distance (2-10 minutes) of several restaurants. It is also within walking distance of several other La Jolla beaches besides Shell beach. The location could not have been more perfect for us. The property itself is well maintained and very quaint and charming. We thought it was absolutely lovely. The kitchen was stocked well enough to prepare some simple meals and there was ample space throughout for our family of four. The beds were comfortable and we felt very much at home during our stay. When we had questions for the property managers/owners, they were very responsive and kind. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely love to stay here again if we visit La Jolla again in the future!

The home was filthy on arrival. The spa tenants in front allow their dogs to defecate and urinate right where you step into the jacuzzi and their dogs are allowed to roam your yard. They will bark at you as an intruder. Property manager was called and unresponsive to all issues. Owner is obviously relying on five star location so doesn’t think they have to do anything further to maintain this historically recognized property, which looks and feels like a 100 year old property. Outdoor weeds were growing through the windows inside the home. Garden was not maintained. The kitchen was not properly stocked - mismatched dishes and hardly any were intact. Stair railing was sticky and bed sheets stained from previous guest and lack of cleaning. Sand everywhere. We asked for cleaning fee reimbursement and Owner was unresponsive. Will now have to file formal complaint with VRBO and credit card. Home is nowhere near a VRBO standard. We own two VRBO homes and would never let our properties fall this far from grace. Renter beware.

We enjoyed our stay in this historic old cottage. It was well placed for the centre & for the beach As it was old, it did feel like it needed a bit of a brighten up with windows & doors looking a bit shabby. The photos are a bit misleading as the furniture is darker wood in reality . It was lovely to sit in the sunny window & on the decking in the evening & the hot tub was nice too. Although we enjoyed our stay I wouldn’t return as it was quite expensive for the facilities & felt like we were in someone’s garden as it was behind businesses with no divide. I am sure a lot of people will love the quaintness & history but I think we could do better for the price. No real complaints but not quite what we expected

The property is shabby chic, but in a good way, with an updated kitchen and baths with strong showers and plenty of hot water. It is a short walk to the Childrens Beach as well as many others. Lots of restaurants within easy walking distance too, so we did not need to move our car, which was parked for free in a nearby covered lot (covered by rental). The managers were responsive and helpful when needed.
