Brant’s place was what we wanted for our family beach vacation. The beach was a 3 min walk and the condo had all the beach amenities we needed. Also a convenience store, a few restaurants and cafes nearby (5 min walk or less) which is helpful if you just need to get kids fed. The village of La Jolla also has a lot of options but it’s packed on weekends and I’d imagine during the week in summertime. We got stuck in local traffic a few times on Saturday and Sunday. A few things to note for families with babies, there are a bunch of baby items available but not listed anywhere in the documentation (tub, pack and play, stool, table attached high chair). We didn’t see them until our last day but you can inquire with Brant. Also the sand gets everywhere! It’s super fine so keep that in mind with your kiddos. We took of our shoes at the door but still has to constantly sweep.
