We cannot be any happier about our stay at La Jolla Surf & Sunset. I went with my husband and two teenage daughters for five days of family time before taking our oldest off to college. The house is everything Nicole promised and more. First, it's beautiful -- the architecture as well as the decor -- as well as very comfortable. And Nicole has the house stocked with absolutely everything a family would need -- from the kitchen to the beach supplies and outdoor shower. We really enjoyed the outdoor areas in the house -- the rooftop patio (what a view!!), the patio out front as well as the back patio -- but also enjoyed evenings hanging out in the family room on this fantastic sectional couch, watching movies. Location-wise, you're a five-minute away from what is described by many as "the most beautiful beach in La Jolla" -- we went to several in the area and would have to agree with that! Also, you're a quick five-minute (max) drive to the grocery story and another two minutes to La Jolla Cove. Before we arrived, I was concerned whether we'd wish we were staying within walking distance of the cove, which I'd heard so much about (we're from DC, so we didn't know much about the area), but I have to say that I am glad we were near Windnsea beach and would definitely stay there again (in Nicole's house!). For starters, it's not very crowded at all, and it really is just a stunning beach. And a five-minute walk from Nicole's house. And the Cove is so close via car. Nicole is a terrific host as well -- she went over everything we needed to know when we arrived, showed us the house, etc. and gave us her cellphone in case we'd need anything. We really cannot be more pleased with our week in LaJolla -- and we can't wait for our next visit!
