The remodeling of this home is enviable, and folks who stay will enjoy the details that have gone into it. Not only that, but when you emerge from the front door (we arrived after dark) you'll be greeted by a stunning canopy of beautiful trees that La Jolla elders planted long ago. We were delighted and it would be an understatement to say that it exceeded expectation.
It's walking distance to restaurants, and a short walk to the stairs that lead to the Wind & Sea beach area. The beach won't work for young children, but it was perfect for us grownups (though we did get dashed with water cascading over the rocks! Humiliating, but refreshing).
There are three fully equipped bedrooms, including one with bunk beds that we didn't need on this trip.
The kitchen was great and stocked perfectly -- even water, butter (maybe left behind by previous visitors, but still . . ). Excellent appliances in the kitchen, and we did use the washer and dryer, also perfectly usable.
An outstanding feature of the hosts is their attention to the little things -- such as sanitary napkins, bags, towels, etc.
We enjoyed sitting by the (we chose to leave it unheated - November) pool but didn't really have time for that anyway. Plenty of seating and space for adults to sit out in privacy. Nice outdoor fireplace was inviting, though we didn't stay long enough to try it. TIP If you arrive at night, familiarize yourself with the updated lighting controls.
