Comfortable tiny studio in a great neighborhood
Location and price can't be beat. Took our fur baby to the beach every morning, local restaurants were superb. A little cramped, especially the bathroom, but overall it was fine for a week for the two of us and our golden retriever.

Super cute, well designed studio
This little place is bright, airy, high quality & well thought out renovated space as described in listing. Would stay here again. Location is quiet, despite being on block behind restaurants, shops & main road. I stayed here with my 17yo daughter spending a night. Lots of storage space & all you need in kitchen. Thanks A&L!

Perfect location!
Chose this place for my honeymoon stay! It was wonderfully located! A walk from arguably the most beautiful beach in La Jolla (Windansea), extremely close to all the best food places, and a quick drive into San Diego and the rest of La Jolla! Super easy to access and so so clean! 100% recommend to anybody! I could see myself staying here again in the future. My husband and I loved it!

So comfortable
So, I got in late at night. I had had a long day of travel. I was quite grumpy and had a hard time finding the place. I was just so tired. But I called the host and she was so calm and understanding! Helped me get settled in over the phone and made sure I was okay. The stay was PERFECT! Highly recommend the location and the host and the place. Location was wonderful, walking distance to the beach, everything worked, just can’t say enough nice things. And check out Candor for a nice meal within walking distance.

Great for 10 day work trip
The location is great -- within a few blocks of Windnsea beach and even downtown La Jolla. The construction next door was pretty loud, starting pretty early even on Saturday. I was working a lot of the time I was there though and thought this space was perfect! Good wifi and parking.

A great small studio in walking distance to everything you need! Though the studio is small, the decor, and layout is done brilliantly giving you the room you need! Also being dog friendly was a huge plus.

Perfect location
Perfect spot for one right in the heart of La Jolla. Quick 10 minute walk to everything you’d need. Updated kitchens and bathrooms. Sharon was great and quick to respond with any issues I had and had them fixed extremely promptly. Would highly recommend! Just note if staying a long time there is very little hanging closet space

First time in a tiny house.
Studio was pretty cramped. Bed was not advertised accurately. It was on a very short platform with one side against a wall. Very difficult for second sleeper to get in bed! Unit could have been cleaner & needed some repairs.

Nice and Convenient
It was a nice clean property. It had everything we needed. It is real close to the beach, some restaurants and a grocery store. It is also so close to a buss stop so that we did not need to rent a car. San Diego got a very good public transport system. We enjoyed our stay a lot.

Dog Friendly Vacation Finally
Came to La Jolla to enjoy the dog friendly life. My husband and I brought our two dogs. The parking spot in the carport has to be carefully used. Our process was the dogs and I would get out of the car first and grab anything we need before parking. We have Mini Van and we’re able park. Spent most of our time walking La Jolla, Mission Beach, Coronado checking out the beaches, dog friendly off leash parks, and bike riding. We brought dog beds. Note to use the hose you have to walk through the house to get to the atrium. We would rinse the dogs and dry after leaving the parks with the water we brought and a pail to make sure they didn’t drink salt water. Ha ha learn from our mistake don’t bring a beach tent to a dog ocean park. Great stay and love that it is dog friendly! Grass is 2 minutes away via walking for the dog restroom needs. Lots of people love their dogs here so you will see lots of dogs.

Bright and sweet property in best neighborhood
I love the light in this property; it makes the space so cheerful and bright. I slept very soundly in the bedroom with the curtains wrapped all around. The patio is a sweet place to spend time eating, reading, and relaxing. The location is excellent - walking distance to the beach, and in the best La Jolla neighborhood of Windandsea. While it is a bit further from the beach than Sharon's other property, this is a great value. Sharon is attentive and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend and I would stay here again!

Perfect Beach work-play getaway for couple with small dog
Me and my husband and our small adult dog stayed here for a week. We loved the location and how close it was to the beach and other cute places to eat. The place including the floors, bedding, surface, comforter everything else was exceptionally clean and we enjoyed our stay. The small patio was so cute to eat dinner after work. It was a bit tight but I've lived in tighter places.. I had to mop the floor every day to keep sand out but glad there was a lot of linen and a washer dryer just outside..the small car port (exactly as advertised0 was just outside too and was super convenient. Over all we enjoyed our stay and loved the modern decor and interior of the place. Will return if you will have us again.
