Easy walk to the beach, restaurants and shopping. The cottage is in a prime location and within easy walking distance of much that La Jolla has to offer. There is a Pavilions grocery store less than a 5 minute walk away. Shops, restaurants, a museum, art galleries, a movie theater (that serves meals and adult beverages in reclining comfort), and the eclectic downtown La Jolla shopping area are also very close, just past the grocery store. You will even find that some people prefer to park in our neighborhood and then walk to the downtown area to avoid the traffic. The cottage is that close. The beach and tidepools are a quick, relaxing 10-15 minute walk, depending on how fast of a walker you are! Both front yard and back patio are fully fenced. All mattresses in the bedrooms are Tempurpedic. The queen sleeper sofa also has a premium tempur foam mattress. All sheets and pillowcases are 800 thread count Egyptian long staple cotton.

More about La Jolla: With a dramatic coastline boasting incredible views, it's no surprise that La Jolla is one of the most popular beach destinations in California. Surrounded on three sides by the sea and backed by the steep slopes of Mt. Soledad, La Jolla's natural beauty, abundance of activities and upscale village lifestyle ensure that it lives up to its nickname as "the jewel" of San Diego. Consistently voted one of the top beach destinations in the world, La Jolla offers museums and art galleries, one-of-a-kind boutiques, great restaurants and a slew of outdoor activities. Home to the famous Torrey Pines Golf Course and The Lodge at Torrey Pines, the scenic cliff area offers well-groomed hiking trails with spectacular views, and world-class golf. At Torrey Pines Gliderport you can soar out over the beach cliffs on a hang glider or just relax and watch the action above. Along the dramatic coastline lies Scripps Park and La Jolla Cove (easy walking distance from the cottage), where families can picnic throughout the summer, while enjoying Fourth of July fireworks and concerts under the stars. Just south of the park is the Children's Pool, where a seawall was originally built to protect kids from incoming waves, but has been long taken over by a local seal colony. People are no longer permitted to swim here, but you can walk out along the seawall for a close-up view of the wildlife. However, the North facing La Jolla Cove is IDEAL for swimmers, snorkelers, and scuba divers, where water visibility oftentimes exceeds 30 feet. La Jolla is also home to Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institute of Oceanography and plenty of cultural attractions including the La Jolla Playhouse and the Museum of Contemporary Art, all situated in close proximity to The Village. The Playhouse and Museum are within easy walking distance of the cottage. The University of California San Diego, which hosts the popular Geisel Library and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, are both located in La Jolla as well. La Jolla's biggest draw for locals and visitors alike are the beautiful beaches. During the summer and autumn months, the surf is relatively gentle, with warm waters in 70s. Swimmers, snorkelers, scuba divers, kayakers and surfers can enjoy the golden sands of La Jolla Shores, the Cove and Windansea. And be sure to keep an eye out for migrating whales off the coast as they travel to and from Baja California.
