Spanish Casita in the Village of La Jolla - Walk Everywhere! in La Jolla

Perfect Hideaway...close to everything in La Jolla

Review submitted: January 16, 2012   Date of arrival: January 7, 2012

I travel to La Jolla several times a year for work and always try to find a small place through VRBO rather than staying in a hotel. The Spanish Casita was perfect for me. The outdoor patio is simply fabulous...I can't wait to go back when the days are longer as it was always dark when I got off work, and this patio would be the perfect place to hang out after a long day of work when the days become a little longer. The bed in the living room was so comfortable and the linens and pillows were fabulous! The location was perfect...I didn't rent a car...everything was within easy walking distance...work was close by as well as all of the great resturants on Prospect Street. Many thanks to Yvonne and Eric for a great stay in La Jolla. ***** Five out of five stars!

My husband and I stayed in this wonderful casita in early December. The whole town was decorated for Christmas and the shopping and dining were amazing! We loved staying in the Spanish Casita because it was so close to everything, we walked everywhere and the amenities were perfect for our visit. We barbequed and enjoyed our dinner and wine on the beautiful deck as well as lazy afternoons reading in the sun. We will definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone who plans on visiting La Jolla!

We loved this rental! We were so lucky to find this perfect little spot right in the heart of La Jolla. The area was beautiful and walking distance to most everything. There are many great sightseeing spots to visit that are only minutes away. The rental itself was very comfortable. There is a great patio with a seating area and a patio heater where we relaxed at night, and had breakfast in the morning (Come On In Cafe is within walking distance and served up a great breakfast to go).

If you haven't been to La Jolla, rent this place and checkout all the murals of La Jolla, tide pools, Contemporary Museum of Arts, kayaking and lots of great local food and shops. Drive a few miles and see downtown San Diego, USS Midway, the Aquarium, more museums...an endless list of fun.

Eric and Yvonne are awesome, very friendly, and we really appreciated the almost instant return of our deposit. The rental was well kept and had many thoughtful touches added for our comfort. Coffee, tea, dishes, bathroom supplies, etc. There were plenty of items for beach fun: Ice chests, radios, beach towels. They are the perfect hosts!

The only con we would list would be the traffic getting in and out of the driveway. This can't really be changed by the owners and we dealt with it just fine but it is on a corner and seems the locals are in too much of a hurry to give you any courtesy. We brought our bikes and either rode or walked most of the trip, but backing out of the driveway the times we did leave was annoying. I wouldn't let this hinder us coming here again since all the positives outweigh that minor inconvenience. Also something that is probably the cities responsibility, not the owners, is the steep peak on the driveway entrance. If that was leveled out it would make it much easier getting in and out with traffic. Again, these probably aren't something the owners have any control over.

Overall, this place was amazing and we will definitely be renting here again! Thanks for a very memorable trip.
