La Renita is exactly as advertised. You are seriously RIGHT in the middle of all the action, while simultaneously feeling like you staying in a hidden oasis. You can walk to anything downtown because you are literally staying downtown. We ate at some of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at everyday for lunch and then we grilled out at night so that we could eat while watching the sunset on the gorgeous outdoor porch. We did not use the hot tub, but it looked in great shape. You are also a stone's throw from La Jolla Cove and multiple beaches. You could very easily take some beach stuff and walk. The BEST part of all...SEALS EVERYWHERE...they are at the beach, on the rocks, it was just incredible. We walked to get ice cream most nights. You can do a wonderful loop from the cottage in which you walk down by the water and then by all the shops and restaurants. You can also walk to a CVS, liquor store, and even the grocery store (Vons) if you want. They also have Birds (electric scooters) everywhere if you would prefer to use one of those. We watched movies on the huge TV in the living room which has Apple TV, so we just logged into our accounts if we wanted to rent something. All the beds were extremely comfy, even the pull-out couch. By far, my two favorite spots were the chairs in front of the wall of windows and the porch, both with a spectacular ocean view. Incredible town, incredible food, incredible wildlife, and incredible place to stay. We will be back and we will rent this home again, for sure!!
