Cy's place is near La Jolla cove area to the north and tourmaline to the south, and a block away from the ocean but depending on what you want to do in the beach you may want to venture further up or down the coast. I highly recommend. Check in and check out was painless / autonomous because of the lock system. The shower is excellent. I think this is a great AirBnB for 2 people. 4 can fit if you're looking for a deal. Would stay again!
