There are 4 different large common areas in the house and yard for group interaction - the place is much bigger than it looks. Love the inside/outside vibe. Fenced backyard for dog/kids. Beds very comfy. Every bedroom has its own climate control and TV. And don’t get me started on the toilets … love them!

There were 7 adults and two small granddaughters, ages 2 and 6, that stayed in this house for one week. We also had our two small Cavalier King Charles dogs too. It was definitely big enough for the entire family and we did not get in each other's way unless we wanted to. Dinner was in the back yard every night and breakfast was sitting the the kitchen nook. I have two Chefs in the family and they were happy with the cooking utensils. The dogs enjoyed the run of the yard, which was completely fenced in with a large amount of grass. The walk to the beach only took about 20 minutes, but it sure beats driving in the the traffic. Communication with the owner was simple and friendly. Thanks again for a great vacation.

The beach house was perfect for our family. Plenty of room to spread out and come together as a family. The backyard provided a large grass area for the boys to play volley ball and catch. The bedrooms were so comfortable, kitchen was stocked with all the essentials. A large TV in the family room also was great for movie nights. La Jolla Shores beach is close by with lifeguards for safe ocean swimming and restaurants with amazing offerings. Really enjoyed our 2 week vacation!

Susan’s house is lovely, and was more than enough space for our family (4 adults, two toddlers, and a dog!) she was on top of communication, and the property was well-stocked with anything you would need to cook with. We only stayed in for breakfast, and the breakfast nook was perfect for our two young kids. The backyard and doggie door was heaven for our dog, who quickly learned she could let herself in/out as needed throughout the day. The photos and description are accurate, the rooms are a good size, and both bathrooms have ample space. There are two pack n plays for little tots in one of the bedrooms, which was super useful for our family! The central heating thermostat take a little bit of patience, but we figured it out after a few minutes. There are a few stray cobwebs here and there, but nothing that a thorough cleaning wouldn’t catch. We came in winter so didn’t make too much use of the backyard or take advantage of the property’s proximity to the beach, would definitely come back in the summertime. Perfect layout if you have kids in bed, and you want to watch TV / play games on the other side of the house. Great house for a family or several families looking for to getaway for a week!

This home with its back and front yards was a beautiful environment for my family to relax in. The weather caused some indoor time. The kitchen, furniture and beds provided a comfy feel so we could enjoy good food and conversation. Susan, our host was quickly responsive and helpful throughout our long weekend. The home is within walking distance to the beach and shopping. We had a great time and will return again.

Pulling up the house it has nice curb appeal. There is plenty of space indoors and a very large back yard, although in need of cleaning. There is a new refrigerator, a good stove, microwave and a nice breakfast area. The master bedroom is large with a nice bathroom and the most incredible automated toilets, all a plus. The fourth bedroom is outside the main house and through a laundry room. We found the house very dated and we encountered maintenance issue that the host argued about how everything previously worked flawlessly and stated it was not much an inconvenience. After 15 years staying at VRBOs, this was the first time I was very disappointed. Would I stay here again, NO. Would I recommend this house to a friend, NO. Would I recommend the host as someone interested in providing hospitality, NO.

We had a wonderful time. I am familiar with the area which is why I chose the house. I said it needs attention for a few reasons. The outdoor carpet under the table is shredded and a hazard. Surprised it was left there. When I stripped my bed I saw that it didn’t have a mattress pad and the mattress was stained. I don’t want to go on or be too detailed I know from experience that rentals are hard to maintain. Hope this is taken as intended - feedback. The house has more positives than negatives. It just needs attention.

We had the best stay in La Jolla. This home is beautiful and comfortable. We had four adults and six kids... and had plenty of space. We enjoyed several meals cooked in the well stocked kitchen and ate in the back yard with ample space to dine and play. It's a fifteen minute walk to a great beach and the owners left boogie boards and beach towels which was so nice! We were in town for a soccer tournament and the location was spectacular to the fields. Next trip we will absolutely stay here again.

Lovely family home accommodated our group of 6. Owners very responsive to our messages. Enjoyed the spaciousness and comforts of home. Just some traffic noise, but location was convenient and a short drive to the beach.

Beautiful, eclectic property in a great location. The house has a ton of character that my wife and I would have loved alone, but also appealed to our kids. Couldn’t recommend it more!

The beach house was perfect for our family. Plenty of room to spread out and come together as a family. The backyard provided a large grass area for the boys to play volley ball and catch. The bedrooms were so comfortable, kitchen was stocked with all the essentials. A large TV in the family room also was great for movie nights. La Jolla Shores beach is close by with lifeguards for safe ocean swimming and restaurants with amazing offerings. Really enjoyed our 2 week vacation!

We absolutely loved our stay. The home is very private, with a beautiful backyard that was great for the kids. The house is spacious and optimally located near La Joya. We would love to stay here again in the future!

This home with its back and front yards was a beautiful environment for my family to relax in. The weather caused some indoor time. The kitchen, furniture and beds provided a comfy feel so we could enjoy good food and conversation. Susan, our host was quickly responsive and helpful throughout our long weekend. The home is within walking distance to the beach and shopping. We had a great time and will return again.

We had a wonderful relaxing time and enjoyed the house and the beautiful backyard. This is the second time we stayed in the house and the location is centrally located to the beach and other points of interest.

We had the best stay in La Jolla. This home is beautiful and comfortable. We had four adults and six kids... and had plenty of space. We enjoyed several meals cooked in the well stocked kitchen and ate in the back yard with ample space to dine and play. It's a fifteen minute walk to a great beach and the owners left boogie boards and beach towels which was so nice! We were in town for a soccer tournament and the location was spectacular to the fields. Next trip we will absolutely stay here again.

There were 7 adults and two small granddaughters, ages 2 and 6, that stayed in this house for one week. We also had our two small Cavalier King Charles dogs too. It was definitely big enough for the entire family and we did not get in each other's way unless we wanted to. Dinner was in the back yard every night and breakfast was sitting the the kitchen nook. I have two Chefs in the family and they were happy with the cooking utensils. The dogs enjoyed the run of the yard, which was completely fenced in with a large amount of grass. The walk to the beach only took about 20 minutes, but it sure beats driving in the the traffic. Communication with the owner was simple and friendly. Thanks again for a great vacation.

Susan’s house is lovely, and was more than enough space for our family (4 adults, two toddlers, and a dog!) she was on top of communication, and the property was well-stocked with anything you would need to cook with. We only stayed in for breakfast, and the breakfast nook was perfect for our two young kids. The backyard and doggie door was heaven for our dog, who quickly learned she could let herself in/out as needed throughout the day. The photos and description are accurate, the rooms are a good size, and both bathrooms have ample space. There are two pack n plays for little tots in one of the bedrooms, which was super useful for our family! The central heating thermostat take a little bit of patience, but we figured it out after a few minutes. There are a few stray cobwebs here and there, but nothing that a thorough cleaning wouldn’t catch. We came in winter so didn’t make too much use of the backyard or take advantage of the property’s proximity to the beach, would definitely come back in the summertime. Perfect layout if you have kids in bed, and you want to watch TV / play games on the other side of the house. Great house for a family or several families looking for to getaway for a week!

The Ranch in La Jolla is absolutely amazing! Family was in SD for my son's college graduation. The ranch style layout was perfect to accommodate 4 generations from great grandma to toddlers, no stairs, just one level of epic space and plenty of room. Troy was super to communicate with the entire trip and offered perfect local recommendations. Parking was great on the premise as well as on the street if necessary, never an issue. The area is gorgeous and you can see the ocean from the living room while having your meals. We'll definitely be returning!

This house served our multigenerational family well for our vacation. There was plenty of space to sleep and spread out. We utilized the large closet in the primary bedroom for our toddlers pack and play, which was a great sleeping setup for us. We enjoyed spending time in the backyard. The kitchen had all we need to prepare food (including a birthday cake!) the hosts were very responsive when we needed to communicate with them with questions about equipment and appliances. Great stay!
