For anyone looking at this listing, I say that you can’t go wrong here. Kate has an amazing place, right on the ocean. Your room does not have a view of the ocean, but it has the amenities you need, and you can go right outside and look at the ocean.
The park next to the house is small and sweet. We saw two weddings take place on it while we were here. It has an awesome ocean view. It’s that pretty.
The neighborhood has several great places to eat. We liked Wheat + Water, Beaumont’s (both American style), and Don Bravo’s (Mexican food).
Starbucks for breakfast, or Bird Rock Coffee. Watch out for high priced coffee and croissants at some of the others.
The neighborhood is beautiful and safe. You will want to rent a car, and on street parking is safe and right in front of the house. No worries. Very close to Mission Beach and La Jolla Cove, wonderful places to visit.
Driving around La Jolla is swell. Greater San Diego not so much, as rte 5 and 8 are both challenging. Just keep up with traffic, and don’t panic! :-)
Kate’s place is a gem, and she is an awesome hostess. Go for it!
