Ranch Style, Private Home Near La Jolla Shores - Walk to dining, shops, beach

This single story home wraps around a large fenced in back yard encompassing 1/3 of an acre of lush, mature landscaping with big windows and high vaulted ceilings. Neighbors on only two sides of the property make it super private. We bought this house because we love the location. It's close enough to walk to the beach yet far enough away to avoid all the the beach traffic and noise. The location makes it easy to get in and out of La Jolla. There is a little bit of road noise from La Jolla parkway. The house is located on Ardath road, which is a dead end road, not a busy street. The home is set back far enough from the road to create a privacy barrier and block most of the sound.

A definite yes! Will come back!
We had the best stay in La Jolla. This home is beautiful and comfortable. We had four adults and six kids... and had plenty of space. We enjoyed several meals cooked in the well stocked kitchen and ate in the back yard with ample space to dine and play. It's a fifteen minute walk to a great beach and the owners left boogie boards and beach towels which was so nice! We were in town for a soccer tournament and the location was spectacular to the fields. Next trip we will absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful property and neighborhood
Susan’s house is lovely, and was more than enough space for our family (4 adults, two toddlers, and a dog!) she was on top of communication, and the property was well-stocked with anything you would need to cook with. We only stayed in for breakfast, and the breakfast nook was perfect for our two young kids. The backyard and doggie door was heaven for our dog, who quickly learned she could let herself in/out as needed throughout the day. The photos and description are accurate, the rooms are a good size, and both bathrooms have ample space. There are two pack n plays for little tots in one of the bedrooms, which was super useful for our family! The central heating thermostat take a little bit of patience, but we figured it out after a few minutes. There are a few stray cobwebs here and there, but nothing that a thorough cleaning wouldn’t catch. We came in winter so didn’t make too much use of the backyard or take advantage of the property’s proximity to the beach, would definitely come back in the summertime. Perfect layout if you have kids in bed, and you want to watch TV / play games on the other side of the house. Great house for a family or several families looking for to getaway for a week!

Great house for a group of 6-8!
There are 4 different large common areas in the house and yard for group interaction - the place is much bigger than it looks. Love the inside/outside vibe. Fenced backyard for dog/kids. Beds very comfy. Every bedroom has its own climate control and TV. And don’t get me started on the toilets … love them!

This home with its back and front yards was a beautiful environment for my family to relax in. The weather caused some indoor time. The kitchen, furniture and beds provided a comfy feel so we could enjoy good food and conversation. Susan, our host was quickly responsive and helpful throughout our long weekend. The home is within walking distance to the beach and shopping. We had a great time and will return again.

Great Property in Need of Attention
We had a wonderful time. I am familiar with the area which is why I chose the house. I said it needs attention for a few reasons. The outdoor carpet under the table is shredded and a hazard. Surprised it was left there. When I stripped my bed I saw that it didn’t have a mattress pad and the mattress was stained. I don’t want to go on or be too detailed I know from experience that rentals are hard to maintain. Hope this is taken as intended - feedback. The house has more positives than negatives. It just needs attention.

3 Stars Very Average Property
Pulling up the house it has nice curb appeal. There is plenty of space indoors and a very large back yard, although in need of cleaning. There is a new refrigerator, a good stove, microwave and a nice breakfast area. The master bedroom is large with a nice bathroom and the most incredible automated toilets, all a plus. The fourth bedroom is outside the main house and through a laundry room. We found the house very dated and we encountered maintenance issue that the host argued about how everything previously worked flawlessly and stated it was not much an inconvenience. After 15 years staying at VRBOs, this was the first time I was very disappointed. Would I stay here again, NO. Would I recommend this house to a friend, NO. Would I recommend the host as someone interested in providing hospitality, NO.

Comfortable and big enough for the entire family
There were 7 adults and two small granddaughters, ages 2 and 6, that stayed in this house for one week. We also had our two small Cavalier King Charles dogs too. It was definitely big enough for the entire family and we did not get in each other's way unless we wanted to. Dinner was in the back yard every night and breakfast was sitting the the kitchen nook. I have two Chefs in the family and they were happy with the cooking utensils. The dogs enjoyed the run of the yard, which was completely fenced in with a large amount of grass. The walk to the beach only took about 20 minutes, but it sure beats driving in the the traffic. Communication with the owner was simple and friendly. Thanks again for a great vacation.

Best Travel Rental EVER!
This house was the star of our wedding week (besides the bride, of course). It surpassed all of our expectations and was not only beautiful and spacious, but the best equipped travel rental EVER! It had everything we needed, including an espresso machine, which kept us all going and happy! We did a lot of cooking and baking which was possible only because of well-stocked kitchen. The house is private and kind of tucked away, but at the same time, close to EVERYTHING. We were a couple of minutes from cafes, the Taco Stand, and the best fish sandwiches around (El Pesacdor). And the airport was conveniently located too, which was nice because I had to make many trips there. And the gorgeous rocky beaches and barking seals were also close by. There were plenty of bedrooms, a delightful kitchen nook, and the grounds/landscaping were exquisite—even a tree swing, which was so fun. So many rentals are stripped down and bare and not equipped, but this was like walking into my best friend's home. We will recommend this home to all our friends traveling to San Diego and hope to return on future trips to the area.

Wonderful week in La Jolla
We had a wonderful week in La Jolla despite the very hot and humid conditions. We loved the house as it was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We brought our 2 pups and they loved running around the enclosed yard. The house was in a great location and near some great restaurants and near the La Jolla Village. We would love to stay there again on our next trip to that area. I highly recommend this rental.
