Perfect location

This studio rental is set on a beautiful property, in what has become one of my favorite parts of the San Diego area. The walk to stores, shopping, wine, coffee, restaurants, and a great bakery is just a matter of a few short blocks. The space itself is outfitted with everything that you should need to enjoy your stay. Highly recommend.

Peaceful and lovely New Years Stay

Marty and Mark supplied toiletries,shampoo, extra blankets, even a heater, paper towels. They even supplied more than a weeks worth of coffee. Mini kitchen was cute, it had a nice touch if you wanted to cook in the kitchen. My family and I were at the location for one week stay. It was peaceful, easy to get to. Nice neighborhood. It was clean. The extra blankets was nice. The outdoor patio was nice to catch some sunshine.

The La Jolla cottage was perfect for our long weekend visit for a family member’s wedding. The hosts were fabulous, super-accommodating, and helpful. They let us in early, gave us great restaurant suggestions, and have such a beautiful space. It worked great short-term for 2 adults and 1 kid, the pullout couch was surprisingly comfortable. We loved walking down to the beach for sunset and then sitting on the balcony in the evenings.

Lovely setting, Questionable cleanliness

We stayed in the apartment for 6 nights. We chose to try an apartment on this visit rather than a hotel. We thought a privately owned unit would be cleaner & nicer. The neighborhood, the surroundings, and setting are lovely. The apartment itself has the potential to be wonderful. The cleanliness was in question. IE: The walls up towards the vaulted ceilings have many cobwebs. There is mold on the shower curtain. There is an inch of dust/grime on the blades of the ceiling fan. I won’t go on….the apartment just needs a good cleaning with attention to detail. BTW…. We had a great week in San Diego!

Garage Loft as pictured and described

Loft above the garage was accurate as described on VRBO. Location was nice. Many places to eat within walking distance. No issues checking in. Only complaint was lack of internet access. Some issue with WiFi and couldnt connect to alternate provided. Little bit of an inconvenience but we still enjoyed our stay here.

King size yet cozy

My husband is 6 foot seven and 290 pounds so we weren’t sure at first if we pull out bed couch with memory foam with accommodate him or comfortable, but we actually had a great night sleep every night. We also slept with the windows open and the screen door because the owners have planted fruits and Jasmine and they smell incredible all night. The air was perfumed. It’s a darling spot and if you have a big, tall man in your life, he will feel right at home too. Tall ceiling as well and we loved the cushions on the patio chairs too.

Perfect retreat

Situated in a quiet neighborhood but within walking distance of coffee shops, restaurants, and the ocean, the cottage offered a perfect balance of comfort, privacy and convenience. The bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed being able to read, write, and bird watch on the private balcony that overlooks a tranquil garden. On-street parking was readily available anytime of day and check-in/check-out was easy as pie. Many thanks to Mark and Marty for being excellent hosts! Hope to see you again next time I’m in San Diego.
