Paradise
Review submitted: November 28, 2010 Date of arrival: September 18, 2010

I have stayed two months from Sept. 18 to Nov. 21, 2010 at this adorable property. I left for one week only to return for another month because it was a great experience. It is tastefully decorated of the era it presents; a La Jolla beach cottage Spanish adobe with lots of color and charm. It is remodeled with granite hardwood maple floors throughout, although it is a historic home with its original charm and immaculately clean. In response to the surprising remarks by a tenant of the house on this property, I find it difficult to believe that if a bug appeared, it was a cockroach. I am very familiar with the property because of my two months’ stay and was here during the couple’s stay. They were here for a few weeks, and from my understanding, left earlier than anticipated because of the birth of a child. The house and cottage are elegantly furnished and decorated, including the patios and yards with tropical landscaping, and everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided and more. The inside and outside of the properties are exceptionally clean with consistent housekeeping, yard and housing maintenance services. I have not had bugs inside the cottage during my total time here and have talked with ongoing tenants in the house, and each and every one of them has loved their stay. I have viewed the inside of the house because I was considering renting the house as an option to come back between renters. I am a return renter to the cottage because of loving the property and the pleasant and gracious owners. I was permitted to stay and pay late when a paycheck was delayed, and you do not find that with many property owners! Owners Liza and Mike are always available and accommodating giving rent discounts to me and other renters. They definitely go above and beyond in their service to their guests! I talked to many of the other renters during my stay and they have all been happy with the property. I would highly recommend it and feel anyone staying here will enjoy it and find it a safe, clean and beautiful property near the beach and best of all, Liza and Mike will take care of you! If you wish to speak to me you can contact the owner for my info. Glori

We had so much fun! What a beautiful home with TONS of character. Thank you for renting to us at the last minute. We had our dream vacation....

It was great. We had a wonderful time there - the rain never came :)

I was going to email you regarding some feedback for the house.
- I love the fresh flowers, definitely a plus.
- Love the outside fireplace, we spent time out there on Friday night and it's really nice.
- Another plus to your property that it has a long drive way. We had 3 cars and did not have to park any of them on the street!

Everything was great.

Thanks for opening your home to us.

Dear Mike & Liza,

Wonderful memories were created this past weekend at your La Jolla home. We celebrated a graduation with family and friends.

Thank-you for sharing your home with us. It was perfect!!

Also, I appreciate your cooperation to retrieve the suitcase left behind and to meet my daughter.

With respect,

Emily

Good Morning,

We had a very nice time in La Jolla. Everthing was well within reach including the beaches and especially our grandchildren who live in Scripps Ranch.
I trust that you found everything in order at the cottage.
Thank you once again.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the house this January for a romantic getaway. From the start the owners were gracious, flexible and friendly. The house is charming and well-kept, with lovely furnishings, plenty of room, and wonderful amenities. The claw foot tub is wonderful for soaking, and the kitchen is perfect for vacation meals.

We were taken with the backyard patio, which included a large sitting area and a wonderful outdoor fireplace. Perfect for those chilly nights! The wood burning stove inside kept us nice and warm and added a romantic tone to our stay. The house is well stocked with linens and cookware, and there are a number of great grocery stores within easy driving distance.

You can walk to a wonderful little beach from the house. A quick drive takes you to The Cove, one of the hot spots for shopping, dining and enjoying yet another beautiful beach. It was easy to drive up the coast, or down to high-end shopping. In short, everything we wanted was easy to get to. When we wanted to stay in, the house was quiet and peaceful. Perfect!

As a business traveler, my affairs have me between San Diego and Seattle often. Staying in hotels can inevitably “tire” one out as there never seems to a sense of home. Vacation Rental By Owner has provided me with a fantastic array of opportunities to stay in a home with more of the creature comforts of day to day living. I met Liza through this site and have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience at staying at her Wind and Sea house. Liza was generous, flexible and the home offers plenty of space, amenities and comfort. I would highly recommend staying at Liza’s place over a hotel anytime.

Sincerely,

James “Jage”.Owner

With a house full of kids from 3 to 15, you can imagine we needed a
place that had lots to do. We could walk to everything and the beach in minutes.
This wind n Sea House was great, although historic it is remodeled very cool with beach them and artwork and new furniture. The kitchen was fantastic with all the kitchen extras you could imagine, from two bbq's to casserole dishes and even spices! olive oil and vinegar. We had condiments and didnt have to spend a lot to
buy extras. The dishwasher was a stainless steel bosche and a new kitchen with granite and lots of cutting knives. We cook alot so this was great for us. The outdoor patio was even better with an outdoor fireplace and living room with lots of seating and great yard for the kids and adults to hang out. Every bedroom had a different flavor and there was a new Marble travertine bathtub with shower that had beach shells! the owners were very nice and brought us
a special long glass pan for our family of 15! the house and cottage together made a family summer reunion possible. Thanks Liza and Mike! we will be back next year!
