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.

Wonderful stay at this fantastic property. Quiet and secluded back house was perfect. Mark and Marty provided everything we needed for our 3-night stay. The property was within walking distance to the ocean and to restaurants. Thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Great spot

This was a great spot in a perfect location for our brief stay in La Jolla. The bed was surprisingly comfy, the croissants at the nearby bakery were wonderful, and having bikes available to use was a huge plus. Thank you, Marty, for a great stay.

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.

Quaint one room apartment in a quiet area. The accommodations were very comfortable and very clean. It was a perfect space for my short stay in LaJolla. The owner is very responsive to questions. I would stay again when in LaJolla.

Enjoyed the stay. Unfortunately there is a great need to clean the kitchen appliances. All of he toiletries were old. I felt like I was using someone’s old toiletries. The property is not appropriate for anyone who has mobility or balance issues.
