Very clean place, and we love that it was so close to the beach. We would like to comment on how thin the walls / floors are, and we could hear the upstairs neighbors all night. Also, we like to cook on our vacations, but many of the pans in the kitchen were too scratched to cook with.

This property was even better than I expected!! big size, living room, and kitchen area and open floor plan, nice bedrooms with soft sheets and good pillow pillows. The place was extremely clean when we arrived!! we also left the place very clean when we left:) the parking spot was perfect to be on the beach since there is really not parking down on the Shores that it’s easy. My girls and I took beach chairs to the beach one day and we went to all the restaurants and beach shops. We did hear the people above us walking around. But I knew this going in and the noise was not bad at all. The neighbors in this 4 place condo were kind/pleasant and all respectful. I highly recommend this VRBO property.

Perfect location & well set up

This is a great location from which to explore San Diego for a family of 4 or similar size group. Just steps from La Jolla Shores and central to almost everything else. As photos reflect, the condo is small and you won't want to stay inside long during the days, but it is well furnished and very comfortable--and you are practically at the beach already so have no reason to be indoors! We really enjoyed our stay.

Amazing location in LA Jolla shores. Close to shops, cafe, restaurants and the beach. Bottom unit has space for five (2 adults, three kids). Nice kitchen.

Amazingly quiet at night while still very close to beach, restaurants, and shops. Parking is a bit tight, but it works. Easy to drive to other adventures, but we loved not having to!

Great location

Nice condo in a great location. Super easy walk to just about everything. La Jolla Shores Beach is a block away. Grocery store is a 5 minute drive and opens at 5 am if you don't want to deal with traffic. Condo is as shown in the photos. A couple things to understand, it is 4 plex, so there can be lots of doors slamming. Only an issue the first night, then the noisy neighbors left. Parking in La Jolla is really bad, so having off street parking is great. Parking at the unit is tight, small SUV is about as big as would fit. Having laundry in the unit is a nice, the dryer needs new bearings so it is very loud, just run it when you are out enjoying the beach.

Clean, comfortable and Convenient

The condo is extremely well situated for enjoying all that La Jolla Shores offers. Steps from shopping, restaurants and the beach. Unit is very clean. A short drive or bike ride to La Jolla and Torrey Pines. Beds and living room furniture were comfortable. Kitchen is well provisioned with cooking and serving utensils - even had some coffee, filters and dry goods. Never had to contact the manager once we were there. Pre-visit communication was fine (directions for opening).
