Oceanfront Landmark House downstair next to the beach Panoramic Ocean Views!

An La Jolla village oceanfront landmark home downstair designed by a renowned architect, recently remodeled with upgraded windows and new flooring (May 2025). Ideally located next to the iconic La Jolla Cove, this rent only downstair part is just steps from restaurants, museums, beaches, galleries, and shops in La Jolla Village—arguably the best location in La Jolla.

This unique property is divided into two fully independent parts, each with its own entrance and privacy. The only shared spaces are the garage, laundry room (with one washer and two dryers), and central A/C control. Each part has one garage space suitable for a standard vehicle or SUV. Both can be booked together—perfect for family reunions or small weddings. The upstairs unit (Unit 2) can be found under VRBO ID: 2786466.

To reduce noise, soundproofing materials and new flooring have been added to the upstairs unit. Please note: parties are not allowed unless upper stair is vacant.

Since this is an older oceanfront house , it may have ocean smell. When you open the window, smell will gone. It is landmark house, but sound approve is not that great, you may hear the upper stair noise and laundry noise.

Due to the ocean braze, the patios may not be cleaned as you expected even we clean it.

Being right on the ocean, you’ll enjoy fresh sea air and the soothing sound of waves. This isn’t a luxury five-star hotel, but you can cook, grill, and dine with stunning ocean views—an experience hotels can’t match.

The location was unparalleled. The property was extremely nice. The beds and pillows were great. They had maintenance there almost daily to work on a very nice electric toilet. For the cost, I would have expected better pots and pans and utensils to cook with. People who stay for a few days want to cook onsite. The skillet was unacceptable.

The beach house was perfect for our trip to La Jolla! The house had every possible thing we needed: extra towels, appliances, serving trays, beach accessories, and space for all! The beds, bedding, and pillows were perfect and we were all very comfortable. The location was amazing.... just steps from the ocean, and a brisk walk to a delicious brunch at The Kitchen at the museum. The host was so gracious, accommodating, and very quick with responding. We will have to stay here again soon.

Fabulous location and wonderful stay

We loved our stay in this fabulous location right along the water. The comfortable three bedrooms (one small) worked well for our group of five. We enjoyed making coffee in the kitchen, sitting inside or at the round outdoor table, and looking out over the ocean. It was also a great place to walk to La Jolla Cove, shops and restaurants downtown or other locations along the water. Really a wonderful place

Deserving More than 10/10

Wow - this property exceeded all our expectations! The location cannot be beat - all-in-all it was the best home in we've ever stayed. Its outdoor areas and inside views are breathtaking, offering expansive water views and the serene sounds of waves, which photos simply cannot do justice. During mornings and evenings on the deck, we enjoyed listening to the sounds of birds and crashing waves while watching the lively scenery—a flawless setting for our unforgettable family vacation. The house itself leaves nothing to be desired, equipped with every conceivable luxury. Its location is ideal, only a short stroll from the beach and local attractions including top-notch recreation spots, excellent dining, and quaint boutiques. Every corner of the home, inside and out, is meticulously crafted and maintained to ensure maximum comfort and relaxation! Our host, Simon, was a joy to interact with—warm, attentive, and exceptionally responsive. He swiftly addressed any inquiries we had, enhancing our stay with his commitment to guest comfort and meticulous attention to detail. This property is truly unique, and after our experience, it's difficult to consider staying anywhere else. We even extended our stay and reluctantly left only because we had to. We highly recommend this home for anyone seeking a memorable and genuinely relaxing vacation. We are certainly planning to return!

Stunning views. Can't wait to go back.

What a great house to rent for the week! Pretty much fully stocked. Kitchen had all the utinsils you could think of. Fully stocked bathrooms and lots of towels. Beds were all super comfortable. You absolutely cannot beat the view. We will definitely be booking again. The rooms have some weird configurations but it's totally doable. The master is wonderful with its own private patio and full bathroom. Second bedroom has an incredible view via windows and another small patio looking over the ocean. Other rooms are a small converted closet or office maybe with a single twin but the view is stunning. There's another very small room with two twin beds and no room for much more. It connects to to a shared laundry for the upstairs apartment. I would recommend taking the upstairs unit also and we will try to do so next time also. There were people above us walking around like elephants with the TV on super loud. Def not the owners fault but the upstairs unit is very loud, you can hear everything. The parking garage is tight and I would recommend to the owners just designating a side to each rental to prevent confusion when the units are both rented. It will fit two small SUV if you don't mind being tight. I'd also recommend another big and comfortable couch in the living room if possible. It isn't super comfortable and I think we would have spent more time there had there been more comfortable furniture in that room. Almost every room has a gorgeous view. We will be back soon!

The house was in a beautiful location! Can't beat the walkability and the view! Plenty of room for our family. The owner was very prompt at responding to messages! Like other reviews mentioned, the garage was small but it does fit a small crossover SVU (probably not a van or any 3 row car...).
