Phyllis's spot by Windansea is a true gem. We loved the easy access to the beach, the walkability to a couple coffee shops, and having access to a garage so we didn't have to fuss with street parking. You're about 20-25 minutes (walking) from the bulk of La Jolla restaurants and shops. Phyllis is a wonderful host who immediately made us feel at home. She dropped off freshly-cut roses and ensured we had plenty of fresh towels for our daily beach trips. This spot is a great value!
