The Cottage is a perfect spot for a weekend getaway! It’s decorated and furnished with the perfect balance between a hotel room and a home - it has the character and warmth of feeling at home, without feeling like you’re living in someone else’s space. The little details of the space really show that it was designed and built with care - which is great, because I believe it was proudly built from scratch by the owner!
The king size bed was firm but very comfortable, with all the pillows you could ever need. The outdoor patio area is cute and relaxing, though we didn’t use it much as we were out and about most of the daytime. The bathroom is lovely - it comes with a shower that has the perfect water flow for a relaxing rinse. The bathroom floors are even heated - what a luxury! The kitchenette is functional with a coffee maker, fridge, and plates/utensils/glasses, though no microwave or any way to heat up food.
On the food note, one other small downside - With COVID-19 abound, we most often got takeout and ate it back at the cottage. However, the space lacks a proper dining table area, so we would eat on the deck during the day or on some of the stools/chairs in the cottage at night. During normal times, I imagine that wouldn’t be a problem, as you’d certainly expect to be dining out at the nearby restaurants throughout the area.
The location is perfect for going around La Jolla, and is within reasonable (10ish minutes) walking distance to the beach and several restaurants.
Lesley and Rick were very prompt in messaging and communicating, and we felt very well taken care of - particularly in their COVID-19 cleaning protocols. Would happily stay here again in the future, and hope to explore more of La Jolla when the time comes!
