We were close to beaches and were walking distance to many good bars, restaurants and cafeâs. Host was excellent with communication and was super helpful with our booking. Would definitely stay here again
Perfect cottage feel. Quiet and close to the beach.
I loved staying at this property and hope to book it again in the future. My dog had a great time as well. Itâs in a very quiet neighborhood and an easy walk to a beautiful beach.
Cute, cleanâŠcomfortable enough if staying with dogs
You always sacrifice a little to stay in a dog friendly place. But it was worth it in order to have our dogs stay with us, to have a little grass/patio area for them, and to not worry about products around the house that might adversely affect the dogs. The house is quaint and kept very clean⊠itâs just got some aging signs which are mentioned in the write up. A good dog friendly place. Would stay again. We liked being able to walk to the beach, and we were right off of La Jolla Blvd so easy access to restaurants. (Shout out to great little restaurant/ bar Nautilus Tavern for good food and good vibe⊠loved the local live band that did an awesome job with music from Santana).
Location is good however house is very old and appears to not have been updated in decades. House is very small and unfortunately provided for an unpleasant experience.
We loved the house itself and the character. One of the reasons we rented this particular place is because of our dogs. The advertisement showed a small side yard with grass, a BBQ grill, a small dining table and a fenced yard. When we arrived we were very disappointed to see grass that was 1.5- 2 feet tall, multiple large weeds growing and some were 6 ft tall (used my height as a reference) and the weeds could be seen over the fence line. The fence was rotted and falling apart. We could not access the BBQ or the the table, nor could we sit out in the yard. Our dogs had minimal safe space to run and use the bathroom.
The back patio had pavers and ivy/ vine growth which was fine excpet for the fact that there were building materials covered by a tarp, yard debris, beach items, etc. It was also concerning that the neighboring rental space had door/ gate access (which they used) to our patio space which again was unsafe for our dogs and intrusive upon out privacy.
Again, we loved the house and the character and will say give this place a try with exception of the yard/ patio space.
We needed a place with an enclosed backyard for our small dog. Backyard was the perfect size, but needed some cleaning up. (Huge weeds and the palm tree leaves needed to be cut. Had to duck under the leaves to clean up after our dog.) Only used the microwave and fridge in the kitchen since we brought our own coffee maker, but it appeared well stocked. Shower water pressure is very low, but the hand held nozzle helped tremendously. Overall, we had a good stay and Nick was very nice and let us check in early. Neighborhood was quiet which we liked and parking on the street worked out fine. The price was perfect for our short stay.
The cottage is adorable and comfortable. We just wish the little yard had been better taken care of; lots of tall weeds and unmoved grass. But better than a suite at a hotel.
