Guest House

This is one truly adorable guest home that you will not want to miss. It is a block away from the breathtaking beach.

Conveniently located on the Bike Path, great for walks or jogging. A short 1/2 mile from Village for shopping, restaurants, coffee shops and grocery stores. The home has been completely remodeled, flat screen TV in the living area and bedroom, a queen size Tempur-Pedic bed, bamboo wood floors in the kitchen and living space, out door heated shower to wash off at when coming back from the beach, washer and dryer and private entrance...No expense was spared. If you want to experience La Jolla this is the place for you.

Relaxing Beach Vacation
Location cannot be beat! Neighborhood is quiet. We visited several beaches in the area and the beach right next to our VBRO was our favorite. Parking is on the street but we never had trouble finding a spot. The house was clean and well stocked. Bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend!

Johns guest house is perfect. It’s comfort, relaxing, quiet, close to the beautiful beach (just a few steps) in a beautiful walkable neighborhood where you can get everything you need for the day or week. I wish I could have stayed longer and I will be back John is the kindest host if you need anything he is available to help and has thought of every detail to make your stay enjoyable and relaxing. If you have the opportunity to spend time at Johns guest house my advice is do it you won’t regret and I bet you will be planning another trip back it’s that wonderful

Everything we were looking for
This is a lovely accommodation in a great location. It was so nice to have some living space to relax and enjoy. The photos are spot on. We walked to the beach (access is 1 block away), grocery store, and restaurants in La Jolla. John is a gracious and thoughtful host. We would definitely come back

Beautiful spot less than two blocks to the La Jolla Beach
This is a wonderful find! From the location, to the beautiful vaulted ceiling, to the well spaced kitchen, this lovely place has it all. Everything was clean, well, organized, secure, quiet, and just two blocks from the ocean. There were two large TVs that have Internet access so you can watch Netflix and Hulu as well as a great little secluded patio to eat your meals. While driving there is ideal and we rented a car, there’s a lot of walking opportunities, including the grocery store and many dining Places within less than a mile walk. On top of that, John lives on site and is extremely helpful and friendly and always willing to lend a hand if needed. 5 stars across the board. We will definitely be coming back!

This property was amazing. Beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything you may need. Only 2 blocks from the beach and short walk to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed having coffee and cocktails on the front deck with the ocean view. John was very nice and accommodating. I would definitely return.

Lovely little guest house
The guesthouse was very clean and tastefully decorated. Comfortable bed, complimentary bottle of wine - which was delicious, beach chairs and well equipped kitchen. An easy walk to the beach which was great but meant parking was hard to find at times. Lots of shops and restaurants close by. Since the porch with the view of the beach is at the front of the main house, I didn't make use of the space as I had intended. All in all a very nice place to stay with a gracious host.

Wonderful cottage!! And great hosts!!
Certainly! Here's a 5-star review for a wonderful cottage stay: --- I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming cottage, and it was truly an exceptional experience! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The cottage itself is beautifully maintained, with every detail thoughtfully considered to ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay. The interior is cozy and tastefully decorated, making it feel like a true home away from home. The kitchen is well-equipped, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and the living area is perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The outdoor space is equally delightful, offering stunning views and a peaceful setting to enjoy nature. The location is fantastic, providing easy access to local beach and restaurants while still offering a tranquil retreat. Whether you're looking to explore the surrounding area or simply relax, this cottage is the perfect choice. John and Katie went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring everything was perfect. Their attention to detail and genuine care for their guests truly set this place apart. I can't recommend this cottage highly enough. It exceeded all our expectations. If you're looking for a perfect getaway, this is the place to be!

A Gem by the Sea
We enjoyed a month at the owner's property immensely. Ideally located just a 2-minute walk from the beach and 10 minutes into downtown La Jolla, we rarely used our car. The rental is nicely decorated with outside areas easily accessible to enjoy an ocean view and the great weather. It's ideal situation for two people. The host lives adjacent to the property and is very accommodating regarding any request. We highly recommend the property and look forward to a future stay when in the area.

Outstanding location waking distance to the village with many restaurant and shopping option, you can see the beach from the property. John was great with his hospitality and great suggestions. Kitchen was well equipped to easily cook meals if you choose. Bed was very comfortable and the whole place was very clean. Couldn't ask for anything better. Epic run along the coast with outstanding views with close up sightings of sea lions and harbor seals and pelicans. Great shopping in the village.

This little carriage house was so adorable and had everything we needed. Just two blocks from the ocean and a short walk to downtown, it could not have been more convenient for our idyllic La Jolla getaway. Plenty of street parking, an attentive and informative host, and paradise right at our fingertips. I highly recommend and definitely plan on attending.
