Lovely getaway
Loved everything about this house, from its location to its room flow to its eclectic decor. We had an issue with the water heater and the property management had someone at the house to fix it five minutes after I called. I’m already planning a return stay

House needs MAJOR TLC INSIDE AND OUT!
When we arrived we thought wow this looks nice once we got inside there is an array of different furniture and broken furniture, not safe to sit on. No wifi or cable to watch tv, we had to spend one day of our vacation there with cable guy, Windows do not open, door handles coming off, doors that do not open or close right, ants on kitchen counters, spider webs everywhere especially outside on deck, patio furniture broken unable to use, no kitchen essential’s only one pan, carpet is old and very dirty, the list just goes on and on. Very disappointed with the way this house was pics on listing very deceitful!

Stellar views but old house
The house is huge, a lot of space for everyone, with epic views from every room. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. The beds were clean and comfy. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Beach towels, toys and chairs were provided. The house was a 15 minute walk from the beach and a 10 minute walk from restaurants and shops. Vacasa was very responsive and even gave us early check in for free. The negatives aspects were: the house is very old and needs renovation. The furnitures were very old and had a strange odor, mostly the couch in the main living room. The hill was very steep if you want to walk to the house.

Great location, but..
We have mixed feelings about the cost vs value provided. The view is nice, but the house and its contents are in dire need of some fixes/updates. The interior has a wide array of furniture, most of which is worn, or worn out. One of the master bedroom mattresses was rock hard, which might have been OK except it is also worn out, having a sharp drop-off on one side. With 2 people in the bed, this required a balancing act to be able to sleep. The frame for this bed had metal pieces sticking out that caught my legs at least 1 time. The attached bathroom looked like it was not quite ready, missing covers for the recessed lighting. Various handles and doorknobs were broken, or missing entirely. Access to the deck for the view requires the door be unlocked inside, but then someone use the knob outside. We had other knobs/handles throughout the house that would fall off in our hands when used to access. The fridge leaks, we had a stack of paper towels arranged around the base of the fridge by the end of our stay. The wifi did not work the first 2 days, but when it did work the number of clients that could connect was limited. I am not sure why you would have a house that can host 10, but then limit access. If 10 are visiting, you can assume you will need at least 30 available connections. Better would be to not limit connections at all. There was two trash cans, and 1 can for recycling outside, and all were full. Someone came by and was standing in the cans to smash down the trash. The cans were overfull when we left. The driveway is STEEP and angled. Drive up the street and make a u-turn to approach driving downhill. We scraped the bottom, front, and back of the bottom of the car every time we arrived/left, no matter the approach angle. Some positives? The view was great, the sunsets were nice. The heat worked great, when needed. Considering the $700+ per night cost to stay, we will likely look elsewhere should we be in the San Diego area again.

Great space and location - but needs TLC
The best thing about this property is the location: slightly up a hill, so fantastic views, and quiet, yet only a few minutes walk into La Jolla village and cove. The second best aspect is the space - not only many rooms, but large rooms. And it has character. Where this property fell short is its general condition - it needs some TLC. And some better outdoor furniture. And wine glasses - there was only one. A deep clean - especially the carpets, although I realize that is hard in a house that allows pets. For those coming with a small pet - make sure that they have fixed the cat flap in the kitchen door - there was no flap, just a hole. Vacasa were very responsive, so they get full marks. And despite the gripes, we had a great week here.

Great location/views
My family and friends stayed for a quick weekend stay. The views were beautiful and the deck/living area was the perfect size for our group. We especially loved it’s close distance to downtown La Jolla.
