The stay at the cottage by the sea was 5/5 due to the incredible hosts and to be within the Bird Rock neighborhood of La Jolla for this price point. If you’re looking to enjoy a relaxing side of La Jolla with quick access to the rest of San Diego, you’ll want to stay here. It’s cozy, above a garage, and while not a 5 star hotel, it was a 5 star experience. Will certainly stay here again next time we’re in San Diego!

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage for five days. It was clean, comfortable and fit our needs. The location was beautiful and close to everything we wanted to see. We loved walking down the street to get coffee and walk down to look at the gorgeous ocean. Mark and Marty were warm, responsive and made everything easy from start to finish. We will definitely love to go back and stay.
