About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Special Offer, book three days and get four days! Offer good thru May 1.

This is one truly adorable guest home that you will not want to miss. It is a block away from the breathtaking beach. Perfectly located 1/2 a mile between the famous Wind n Sea Beach and La Jolla Cove. Come park your car and never have to get back in it! 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!

Great location! Great value!

I’ve stayed in many short-term rentals, including two similarly-priced units in nearby Del Mar. This was the best of all and in far better condition than the previous Del Mar units. It is located in a beautiful, quiet residential area yet just one short block to the beach and two blocks from La Jolla Village. The furnishings are quality and comfortable. The hosts, who live next door, are very responsive and helpful. They added a small table for dining. (I guess other guests eat out for all their meals?)

This place is a gem in La Jolla. John and his wife are perfect hosts and made us feel so welcome. The place was super clean and welcoming. The views from the front deck during sunset are amazing. We will definitely be looking to book this place again if we come back to the San Diego area.

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
