Property Description
Welcome to Sunset Cottage!
Tucked away on a quiet little cul-de-sac, this beautiful home sits atop a small hill and offers gorgeous views of La Jolla Shores and the La Jolla Cove. This quiet street allows you to enjoy the beauty of the sand and surf all from the serenity of your private home! When you're ready, just walk a few short blocks to the beach and/or local restaurants and shops...all on flat ground. No hills, except the short driveway, to climb!
When you walk into Sunset Cottage, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time....the kitchen cabinets, wood paneling and bathroom tile are all charmingly vintage! That said, all the amenities are brand new. Beautiful 400 thread count, 100% Egyptian Cotton sheets grace every bed with 100% cotton bath towels in each bath. The furniture, including all bedding, is brand new and designed to help you and your friends and family sit back, relax and enjoy each other's company.
There is a large dining area with fireplace and extra seating for relaxing meals at home. The dining area opens into the large living room with sectional couch. There is a large, 65" TV to enjoy your favorite shows or movies – or just curl up on the couch and play a board game or enjoy a good book!
Inside the house, there are 3 bedrooms - all with older, vintage ensuite bathrooms, AND a separate, detached 1BR studio guest house with a queen bed, walk-in closet and a private vintage bathroom. (PLEASE NOTE: The detached guest studio is only suitable for adults as it is outside near the pool and is not attached to the house.)
There are two master suites with California King Beds and brand new bedding. The front suite offers beautiful views of La Jolla Shores from the bed. The second Master Suite also has a California King bed and window seat and ensuite bathroom. The middle bedroom has two queen beds and is great for two teens or four young kids (that don't mind sharing a bed). The separate guest studio is out by the pool and offers in-laws or teenagers a little bit of privacy!
All 4.5 bathrooms are older and have vintage pink, yellow and/or blue tile. The shower/tub configuration is a little smaller than many modern bathrooms and requires a step over the side of the tub to get into the shower.
The kitchen is well stocked and offers everything you might need to make meals at your home away from home, including; a coffeemaker, microwave, toaster oven and pots and pans. Featuring a built-in banquette, you can sit comfortably while in the kitchen talking to the chef! There is a small desk in the kitchen if you need a place to set up and work! That said, we highly recommend sitting at the dining room table with your laptop as the view is better from in there!
There is wonderful space outside by the pool where you are protected from the breeze, but can still look through the house to see the beautiful ocean views! This is a wonderful spot to just sit back and read a book! There are 2 chaise lounge chairs (with umbrella) and a dining table for 4 people. There are also lots of extra chairs for those that just want to sit and enjoy an afternoon glass of wine with family and friends. For most rentals, we have a pool-safe fence around the pool to protect children from falling in. If your rental is for adults only and you would like the fencing removed before your stay, just let us know and we will make sure it is taken down before your arrival.
There is a small yard in the front of the house where you can throw a football or just set up some beach chairs and watch the sunset!
The laundry room is located just off the kitchen outside the main house next to the garage. There is an ironing board and iron and all laundry supplies available for your use.
Once you’ve stayed here once, we’re sure you’ll come back again! Sunset cottage is truly a wonderful place to relax and recharge your batteries.
PLEASE NOTE: There is AC in house bedrooms only! No AC in living area, kitchen or pool house bedrooms. The house is designed to open all windows and doors and let the coastal breeze cool off the house.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call Jennifer at 858-232-2522!
We hope to hear from you and welcome you to La Jolla soon!

Gorgeous Views with Amazing 70s Beach Bungalow Vibe
We absolutely loved our stay here. The views from here are breathtaking with magical sunsets. It's just a short stroll down to the beach. The home was so full of vintage SoCal charm. We hated to leave and cannot wait to return.

Wonderful Week
Jennifer, our host was one reason for the excellent rating. She was responsive and always available to answer questions and respond to our questions and requests. She always responded the same day and often within minutes. The house fit our needs in every way. Large rooms for our family of nine, great swimming pool and hot tub and while it is an older home (built in the 60's) the design of the home was very comfortable. The only reason for the four score instead of a five was we had a few problems with the windows not opening and closing and one of the path tubs not draining. Yet, Jennifer had all the problems fixed prior to our departure. It would have been better to not have the problems. I recommend this home and location. I would book it again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Sunset Cottage! Built in 1954, it is a true mid century modern gem, harkening back to a time where these houses were common in La Jolla. The teak paneling, ceilings, and fireplace in the living and dining room is stunning! The house is very roomy and comfortable throughout. The pool area and the pool itself are large and inviting ( to hot tub was a hit with our older children!). We had the optional screen placed around the pool and it really gave us peace of mind with our grand daughter about. The kitchen is well stocked with plates , glasses , etc. It has the original pine cabinetry which we loved! The bathrooms are well stocked with towels and the bedrooms well appointed and super comfortable. Our hostess Jennifer was super helpful throughout our stay and check in and out was easy. Finally - THE VIEW!! Totally spectacular from the living room, dining room, and front yard. We spent hours looking out at the Pacific and the sunsets. Absolutely priceless!We’ve been coming to La Jolla since the ‘80’s and in all that time we haven’t stayed in a place that has it all like Sunset Cottage. We will definitely be coming back , hopefully for many years to come!

Christmas with family
This was an excellent property to celebrate Christmas with our family in San Diego. The views were fantastic, even better than the pictures and it was only a few blocks to the beach.Jennifer was an excellent host and very responsive anytime I reached out to her.The beds were very comfortable and every bedroom had its own bathroom which was convenient. All the rooms were good size and the furniture was very cozy. We didn’t use the pool but hope to on future visits.I can’t recommend this property enough. We hope to stay there again.

Healing Trip
This is exactly what my family needed. It is a great house. Charming MCM, everything that comes with that. The location is ideal, easy to get at areas north and south. My almost 3yr old granddaughter cried when we got off the plane, she realized when went going back to the house.

An absolute gem!!
This was the perfect property for a family vacation with two little ones. The owners were wonderful to work with and very accommodating. The fence around the pool was a huge help in keeping our little ones safe when we weren't swimming but wanted to be outside. Gorgeous backyard. The house only has AC in the rooms but the windows open kept a beautiful breeze going throughout the house and it stayed comfortable.
The location was perfect. walkable to the beach, coffee shops, restaurants and a playground. Would
Highly recommend to anyone!
