Beach Cottage with Pool at La Jolla Shores

JoseRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We stayed for 3 days for a graduation weekend and the location was great. Close to the beach and local coffee spot. We had 2 parking spots and plenty of space. The pool was heated which was nice and we did use it once, was too cold to use daily. Loved the wrap around patio on the third floor with great views. Communication was great.

Jewel of La Jolla - Oceanfront

LynnRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful location, and I can’t say enough good things about it! The location was absolutely ideal. Nestled in a serene area yet close to local attractions, it made exploring effortless. The setup of the house was perfect. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making it easy to settle in and feel at home. The inside was pristine. It was spotless and well-maintained, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The accommodations exceeded our expectations! With ample space and comfortable furnishings, we felt like we were in a luxury retreat. The breathtaking views were the cherry on top. Waking up to such stunning scenery was a highlight of our trip. I cannot wait to rent here again in the Fall! Highly recommended!

Loved our time staying here! The room was cute and comfortable and it felt like staying with family. The garden surrounding it is gorgeous and made it feel very private and peaceful-and we really appreciated the fresh fruit! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit the area.

Beach Gem at La Jolla Shores San Diego!

FrancineRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Sean’s place has all you need! Walkable distances to the beach, the cave store, multiple restaurants, bars and cafes for morning coffee. It was comfortable for two people and the interior decorating really captured the heart of La Jolla. The hosts were wonderful and responsive. I would definitely stay here again!

Ocean Front Villa La Jolla

SamanthaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
While the house is indeed a bit dated the location is just lovely. Only a few steps from the coast walk which was in bloom, walking distance to both the shores and the village, and the view is incredible

Your guide to la Jolla Shores Beach

All About La Jolla Shores Beach

You’d be excused for not knowing that the sparkling seaside village of La Jolla is actually part of booming San Diego because this magical enclave has long hovered above the fray. Perched on cliffs over seven miles of beach, La Jolla rose to prominence as a place to flee the urban hustle and bustle in the late 1800s, when vacationers cozied up in seaside cottages. Around the same time, artists claimed the village as their base, making it an arts magnet. A famous actor co-founded the still operational La Jolla Playhouse in 1947, and a children’s book author known for his rhymes and eccentric characters, moved here in 1948, writing in an office high above the coastline.

The best time to stay in a vacation rental in la Jolla Shores Beach

Expect sunny, warm weather in the 70-degree Fahrenheit range almost year-round. However, due to La Jolla’s coastal location, it’s not unusual for a marine layer — gray morning clouds — to roll in, especially during May and June, and for nights to cool off, so pack layers. December through March bring the most rainfall, so plan ahead and pack an umbrella.

Top things to do in la Jolla Shores Beach

La Jolla Shores Beach

Pretty La Jolla Shores Beach lures surfers, kayakers, and ankle waders alike. While everything you could possibly desire is likely right here — there are restrooms, showers, barbecues, and even public bonfire pits — shops and restaurants are just a 10-minute walk away. Families will appreciate that the beach abuts grassy Kellogg Park, where kids can enjoy a playground near the Ellen Browning Scripps Memorial Pier. Named for a major funder of the world-renowned Scripps Institution of Oceanography, which calls La Jolla home, the pier is one of the largest research piers in the world, equipped with gear that tracks ocean conditions and plankton.

La Jolla Cove

This crescent of sandy beach, ringed by palm trees and sandstone cliffs, is home to a pool of calm ocean waters so clear that they draw admiring crowds of photographers and beachgoers — alongside ocean wildlife. The cove’s rich ecosystem is protected, so surfers and boogie boarders skirt its shores, but it is ideal for snorkeling. You’re likely to spot bright orange Garibaldi fish, rays, and even leopard sharks. (Don’t worry — these shy, small sharks pose almost no threat to humans.) Kayakers launch from these shores to explore nearby sea caves, too. If you want to get in on the fun, you can rent ocean-going gear from nearby outfitters.

Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve

This 1,500-acre natural reserve is home to miles of trails and named for the beautiful and endangered tree that grows here. The windswept Torrey pine is the rarest pine tree in the nation, and only grows here and on an island off the coast of Santa Barbara. This reserve features high cliffs, sandstone canyons, and a salt marsh refuge home to migrating waterfowl. In spring, wildflowers bloom, and in fall and winter, roly-poly quail zip around the grounds. Check ahead for a schedule of tours that depart from the visitor center, which is housed in a century-old pueblo-style building that was once a restaurant.
