Sandcastle hideaway
My stay here was great! Fast and easy communication with the host, and the unit was well kept. Great location too, just a quick walk to the beach. Only downside was the assigned parking spot being pretty tight. It was doable with my Tacoma, but a larger vehicle could be a real challenge.

Comfortable tiny studio in a great neighborhood
Location and price can't be beat. Took our fur baby to the beach every morning, local restaurants were superb. A little cramped, especially the bathroom, but overall it was fine for a week for the two of us and our golden retriever.

Super cute, well designed studio
This little place is bright, airy, high quality & well thought out renovated space as described in listing. Would stay here again. Location is quiet, despite being on block behind restaurants, shops & main road. I stayed here with my 17yo daughter spending a night. Lots of storage space & all you need in kitchen. Thanks A&L!

Perfect location!
Chose this place for my honeymoon stay! It was wonderfully located! A walk from arguably the most beautiful beach in La Jolla (Windansea), extremely close to all the best food places, and a quick drive into San Diego and the rest of La Jolla! Super easy to access and so so clean! 100% recommend to anybody! I could see myself staying here again in the future. My husband and I loved it!

So comfortable
So, I got in late at night. I had had a long day of travel. I was quite grumpy and had a hard time finding the place. I was just so tired. But I called the host and she was so calm and understanding! Helped me get settled in over the phone and made sure I was okay. The stay was PERFECT! Highly recommend the location and the host and the place. Location was wonderful, walking distance to the beach, everything worked, just can’t say enough nice things. And check out Candor for a nice meal within walking distance.

Great for 10 day work trip
The location is great -- within a few blocks of Windnsea beach and even downtown La Jolla. The construction next door was pretty loud, starting pretty early even on Saturday. I was working a lot of the time I was there though and thought this space was perfect! Good wifi and parking.

A great small studio in walking distance to everything you need! Though the studio is small, the decor, and layout is done brilliantly giving you the room you need! Also being dog friendly was a huge plus.

Perfect location
Perfect spot for one right in the heart of La Jolla. Quick 10 minute walk to everything you’d need. Updated kitchens and bathrooms. Sharon was great and quick to respond with any issues I had and had them fixed extremely promptly. Would highly recommend! Just note if staying a long time there is very little hanging closet space

First time in a tiny house.
Studio was pretty cramped. Bed was not advertised accurately. It was on a very short platform with one side against a wall. Very difficult for second sleeper to get in bed! Unit could have been cleaner & needed some repairs.
