UCSD visit
We had a great stay visiting our daughter at college. The house was a great escape for her for the weekend and she even got her laundry done. We enjoyed tidal pooling and checking out the beach during the king tide. The neighborhood was very quiet this time of year and great for morning walks. We cooked meals and the kitchen was supplied with the all necessary equipment and some essentials like salt pepper and oil. But we also enjoyed a couple of restaurants within easy walking distance.

Location, location, location!
Perfect place for a visit to San Diego. Our kids took a week of surf lessons at La Jolla Shores beach and could walk there on their own. Unit was exactly as advertised, and parking spot was not that difficult to get in and out of. The unit was clean and perfectly met our needs - so close to a bunch of good restaurants. The walled in outdoor spaces were lovely, The only small negatives were no a/c in the 2nd bedroom (just a fan, but would get cool if door left open) and the bathroom could use some updating. Would not hesitate to recommend!

Excellent location and property
We had a wonderful 5-day/4-night stay. Everything was as shown in listing. Location was perfect a 1/2 block to restaurants and market, 1.5 blocks to the beach! Beds were comfy, A/C worked great, kitchen was stocked. We’d 100% stay here again on our next visit. Thank you!!

Value for Location Win
Overall, my family had an enjoyable stay at the property and would recommend it. We had a few minor items that needed repaired upon check-in but John (host) was quick to communicate and address. You can't beat this location for the price (5 mins to the beach, next to restaurants)- the house is worn-in but clean. We were comfortable for our stay and it met expectations. As others have stated, with this being a shared duplex, you can at times hear chatter through the shared wall but it was never loud or disruptive. You may also have to do a car shuffle in the garage/ driveway during the stay but easily worked through with some proactive communication with those staying in the other unit. Thanks again John!

Great location, comfy space, good communication
It's an easy, pleasant walk to dining, shopping & the beach in La Jolla Shores. The space had plenty of amenities for our family of four with two teens, including comfortable beds and some handy beach gear (towels, chairs, wagon, football...). A few notes on minor issues: It's a duplex, and the wall between units is a little thin, so we could occasionally hear the neighbors. That said, the bedrooms are separated from the shared wall by the hallway and bathroom, so noise wasn't a problem at bedtime. We had some trouble getting the shower to start--the faucet wasn't pulling out--and the neighbors had parked on the wrong side of garage when we arrived, but on both matters, the owner was very responsive and helpful in replies (and we eventually got the shower working with no problems... probably user error!) The TV could use an update (no streaming options that we could tell), and we couldn't get the garage door to close when it was sunny (too sensitive, it seems). But there's so much good going on here that I happily give it a high rating.

Wonderful stay near great beach!
We loved this property and the proximity to La Jolla Shores beach! The place was spacious, clean, and beautiful. We loved the secluded yard and outdoor picnic table. The owner was very prompt with responding to our messages! We also loved using the boogie boards and beach toys provided. It was a great vacation spot!

Crawling with termites!!
Location is excellent but property leave a little to be desired. Sheets weren't clean, termites everywhere, including beds and clean laundry. I'm only 5' 8 but had to bend down to wet my hair in the shower. There are much better properties in the same location for the same price.

Look elsewhere. Dirty. Not well equipped. Read full review.
We cut our stay 6 days short at this property after 24 hours and moved to another location. The property is dirty. Sleeping pillows have stains all over them. Take the cases off and check. Sleeping blankets were dirty and stained. Bathroom sink backflows with dirty water when other water sources are on. The location is great, and that is why I am guessing this has so many high-star reviews. I contacted the owner to address some items and our desire to leave early. He was very rude and dismissive of the issues and told me I was being unreasonable (that the pillows and blankets were stained and dirty - many pillows didn't even have pillowcases). Open outlets not covered in the kids room with exposed wires, entire place needs a deep cleaning. You can tell this has been rented hard. If you are just going for a "cheap" place to stay this is a good fit for you. If you want something of some level of quality. Look elsewhere. I have never shorted a vacation rental stay ever and I am in the hospitality/vacation rental business - I am not leaving an unjust review on this. Trying to save another family from needing to find new accommodations. If you book this location, ask the owner if he has replaced pillows, washed comforters, blankets, etc.

House was very conveniently located for walking to the beach and/or restaurants for dining out. Indoor and outdoor space was neat and clean. appreciated the hose out front for extra rinsing off of sandy children after a day at the beach. Kitchen was stocked with all basic essentials. Plenty of towels. we appreciated the beach wagon and buggie boards as well. in home washer and dryer was also essential for a week long stay. my only recommendatiosn would be to add a bath mat to the bathroom and maybe a swifter to the cleaning closet. as neat as we try to be, kids sometimes just accumulate crumbs. would/will definitely stay again

Great Place in Great Neighborhood!
This property is in a safe neighborhood, close to shopping, dining, and the beach. The beds are comfortable, the property had all the supplies we needed, and we enjoyed the private patio. Our vehicle didn't fit in the garage (FJ Cruiser with surfboards loaded on top) and the driveway was too narrow for parking without blocking garage access for the other side of the duplex, but we had no problem finding parking on the street. Definitely would recommend this property, and we'll keep it in mind for future stays!

Effect location, private outdoor spaces
What we appreciated most was being so close to the bustling restaurant area and the beach, yet the property was so so peaceful. There is a private rear deck/ patio with really tall shrubs on on one side, and seating. We ate our breakfast there most mornings ( take out from Brick and Bell) and watched hummingbirds, and our daughter worked on her laptop in the private front yard ( while connected to the house wifi). We had never been to San Diego before and after we got here and explored La Jolla vs LaJolla Shores, I was so happy we ended up in La Jolla Shores. This was a great home base for day trips. Also, if you planning to go on a kayak tour, you cannot beat this location. The owner was very responsive to my questions and we hope to return some day.
