91 Reviews of Property 320957 in La Jolla, California

We (four adults) stayed in the Village Guest House at the end of February, 2010 and loved every minute! Lisa and Michael were friendly and helpful, the accommodations were exactly as described, and La Jolla has become our dream for our retirement years. The Mahers were easy to contact and deal with regarding our stay, and take obvious pride in their rental property which is right behind their own home. When we arrived, there was a bottle of wine, fresh fruit and flowers to welcome us. The living room seating and beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, the Wifi was complimentary and there was a collection of movies for entertainment. They also allow guests to use their laundry facilities which was an added bonus. The free parking was appreciated and you'll find you don't need your car when you stay at the Village Guest House - just about everything is within walking distance.
La Jolla is a beautiful area with a wonderful downtown, pretty beaches and parks and wonderful restaurants. We enjoyed Piatti (in La Jolla Shores) and Whisknladle - and if you drive into downtown San Diego, don't miss De Medici, Kemo Sabe and Rama. We highly recommend this vacation rental and wouldn't have changed a thing about it. One couldn't ask for a better place to call home in La Jolla!

Four of us stayed in this homey vacation rental in February. Everything was just as described or even better. The property is on a pretty side street within easy walking distance of the beach, shopping, restaurants and groceries. The Mahers went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, even setting us up with a wonderful realtor they knew, since we are interested in purchasing property in the area. Communication and the rental process were both quick and trouble-free. The unit was immaculate and comfortable with a full kitchen and outside patio grill, nice-sized bedrooms and a large living room with TV, DVD/VCR player and plenty of movies for entertainment. Wireless internet was complimentary and worked perfectly. A nice bottle of wine, fresh fruit and flowers were there to welcome us when we arrived, and Lisa and Michael were friendly and warm every time we crossed paths (they live on-site). The washing machine and dryer downstairs was an added bonus.
La Jolla is a little slice of heaven, with beautiful views of the ocean, pretty parks and a nice downtown area. Our favorite restaurant was an Italian place in La Jolla Shores called Piatti, but we also loved Whisknladle. If you want to drive into downtown San Diego, we highly recommend De Medici, Rama and Kemo Sabe.
I know we will be back to stay in the Village Guest House and are sure you will be just as happy with your visit as we were!

We were here in February, 2010 for a respite from the snowy Northeast!
Lisa and Mike's place is perfect in every regard: wonderful location with every amenity you can think of, charming hosts, super comfy beds (!), and La Jolla is a beach lover's delight! We will go back!!

The owners are wonderful people living on the property and will accomodate most requests and are very gracious people. The view of the ocean is a little distant but we saw wonderful sunsets. We were within walking distance to nice restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the fireplace in the cool evenings. We will certainly try to return again.

We recently stayed here and what a delightful surprise, enjoyed every minute and look forward to frequent returns. The place is airy and bright, simple and charming and everything you could want is provided. There was Peet's coffee sitting on the counter as well as a lovely bowl of mandarins which we noticed when we first entered. The beds were so comfy with the down comforters (Feb. stay) and the bathrooms with plush towels and fragrant soaps . Want to eat in, no problem, fully furnished kitchen and a grill on the deck. We loved the deck especially in the mornings with the newspaper and coffee. (They provide 3 papers, 1 is NY Times) Nice little fireplace in the living room was great at night. It is within walking distance of beach, great little shops, and a coffee house, Pannikin that we frequented. On Sunday we enjoyed an open air market near Pannikins with yummy foods and unique gifts for self or others.
Truly everything was provided that we could want and we really felt as if we were guests in a friends home. We had the extra pleasure of purchasing some of Lisa's fun pottery, much of it whimsical, all of it unique, as well as the delight of visiting with Lisa. We rented a number of VRBOs in various cities but this really topped it in the sense of feeling like guests. Couldn't have asked for more. Simply lovely. Great for a family of 4 or two couples.

We have stayed with Lisa and Michael a number of times and their welcome feels like coming home. The guest house is the best appointed of any we've visited and we have rented from VRBO around the world. The beds are great and the kitchen fully equipped. Add beautiful La Jolla and you have the perfect vacation.

Just wanted to say that I would return to Lisa and Michael's unit anytime! I loved the "palm tree" sunsets from the living room, the nice deck to sit out and enjoy my morning coffee, the super-comfortable beds, the morning papers delivered to our door, and all the help that Lisa and Michael were to us. The apartment was well appointed, lots of room , and sunny/bright. I hope to return this fall to enjoy the lovely village of La Jolla , just down Fay Avenue. Thanks again Lisa, Michael, and John for you hospitality.

This place is fabulous. Just perfect in every way. Airy, light, pristine, comfortable, well-appointed kitchen, gas fireplace, comfortable beds. The gracious hosts are there when you need them but not when you don't. I really want everyone to choose this place but leave some time on the calendar for us because we will definitely be back.
