Reviews for Tranquility
Fidel de la Garza, Monterrey, Mexico says:
Tranquility is a excellent descirption for the feeling in the home. Loved the house, was very cozy. Liked the location close to everything we needed. Great for running in the mornings close to the beach side.Vegetation on the house is amazing. Weather makes a real difference in San Diego. Thanks...

sueuktexas , Texas says:
This is an excellent home, the master suite and the roof top deck definitely earn the description, 'Designer Birdrock Retreat'. The rest of the house is also of a very high standard, nice bathrooms, kitchen and outdoor space with BBQ. Be aware that the large screen home theater is actually in one of the bedrooms but there are other flat screen TV's.
Lives up to its description: Designer Tranquillity
There was a Starbucks within walking distance for morning coffee and a beach within a short drive. We liked Birdrock because it is less hectic than La Jolla itself.
We just booked again for this summer, only wish we could stay for longer than a week.

Tranquil Stay at Tranquility. My family and I were in La Jolla for a funeral, but our stay was made very comfortable by the beauty of the home, the setting, and the poeple at SoCalVacation Rentals. I will look them up again some time.

Lesley Punt, British Columbia, Canada says:
This home is beautifully designed and appointed in a quiet neighborhood. The house is landscaped such that you feel as if are not in a neighborhood at all, but in a secluded spot. Everyone in our family enjoyed it. Highly recommend it.

Elizabeth A. Haydn-Jones, London, UK says:
Our stay at Tranquility exceed our already high expectations! The property itself is sublimely decorated and situated in a wonderfully beautiful, friendly, and safe family neighbourhood, and it felt like a home away from home. We were there with our three year-old son, my parents from Canada, and an aunt and uncle from Wales. Our son was warmly welcomed by the neighbourhood children and we have all agreed that we plan to return to Tranquility and La Jolla again next year (and the year after, and the year after!). The only thing that wasn't up to the high standard of everything else on the propery was the telephone: it is a very old portable and only manages to hold a charge for about five or ten minutes. We only had one working cell phone, so the phone was necessary. It is a minor point, but worth upgrading so that the entire property will be pitch perfect! Thank you, SCVR and David Robinson for a utterly fabulous week!

Tom, Atlanta says:
We stayed for a week over the Christmas holiday. The location was super, we could walk to the Starbucks and shops at Bird Rock... and the drive to LaJolla's central shopping and dining district was just 5 minutes....
This home was definitely "as advertised". The ocean views were much better than we expected. The roof top deck was awesome, even inspiring. The hot tub was clean and we used it ever day. The interiors were really so well done, so thoughtully executed. The only suggesstions we would offer would be to replace the living room sofas and chairs, which were not comfortable, though they have a great design and to offer more TV/Movie options. We would love to have been able to download movies and have access to HBO... or use the Apple TV. We'd have been happy to pay for it. Also, the 10 am checkout - and surprisingly strict check out instructions were not customary, in our experience. That said, this was a FINE property and we'd stay there again anytime. Our memories of this trip will be of wonderful wine and cheese sunset views and sunny ocean vistas from the master bedroom. Thanks to the owner and the Staff, who were very responsive.

Peggy Selvey, Reno, NV says:
We enjoyed this beautiful home. My family felt right away that this was the best home we have rented on our annual trip to San Diego. It was a pleasure to work with the team at Southern California Vacation Rentals. You are all very professional and accommodating to our requests. We'll see you in the summer!

Jamie Bordoshuk, Chicago and Phoenix says:
Thank you so much for the wonderful stay at Tranquility last week. The house is beautiful and the location is perfect.
Just a few things you should know about our week. The BBQ never did work even after the guy fixed it. We tried to use it on Friday night for out big dinner and it never lit more than a pilot light worth of heat. Had to skip to Plan B and cook our steaks on the stove top, which wasn’t as good as if they had been cooked on the grill.
The Jacuzzi really did have an odor and we did not use it all week. Our kids went in it once on the first night and then even they never went in it again. We just thought “that’s how this Jacuzzi smelled” and kept it closed. We were disappointed to find out that there was a solution to the odor on the last day.
We couldn’t get the house speakers system to work at all. Even my tech savvy daughter read the directions three times to no avail.
No margarita blender machine as we were told.
All the bikes had flat tires and could not be ridden.
The garlic press and the colander should be replaced, unless you are advertising them as antiques, then they should be set out as decoration. Clearly they are both over 50 years old.
That’s it.. La Jolla was beautiful and the weather was fantastic. Thanks again.

Susan Dabkowski, Southlake, TX says:
The house was clean. We enjoyed the location. A new can opener is needed, plus a hair dryer, and a vacu van for wine would be nice. Our stay was great. Shade structure on the roof difficult to slide-maybe needs lubricating.

Wallace Roberts, Highland Park, IL says:
The house was sparkling clean! Great location- walking distance to restaurants, coffee, etc. Kleenex in bathroom would have been helpful. Extra windex for dining room table. You may want to replace table place mats -several are stained.

Mark J., Seattle says:
Great house, great location! The home entertainment system needs a better set of instructions. The bikes had flat tires and no pump to be found. Bird Rock Coffee Roasters is a 10 minute walk and a great place to hang out after a morning walk or run. Watch sunsets from the roof deck, Mt. Soledad, or Torrey Pines State Reserve.

Joe, Kansas City says:

Reviews for The Shark
Kathryn , Florham Park NJ says:

Thank you for the great location. being by the beach and close to main roads was definitley a great convenience.

Dear Heather,
Thank you again for providing a great vacation for my parents. They absolutely loved “the Shark” and were very pleased with the location.
3 houses from the beach was by no means an exaggeration!
It was a pleasure working with you again,
Thanks again,
Pieter

Dianne, Seattle says:
Good location, clean and cozy. This property would be much improved however if it had a more comfortable master bed. It was small, queen size, squeaky and too firm. The pillows were flat and the sheets were scratchy. Would also be nice if the property had extra blankets, a throw for the couch?

Brian Olivas, Phoenix, AZ says:

Debi Heileman, Scottsdale, Arizona says:
This was our second year staying at this property and this time we brought my in laws and siblings. The location is great and the property was very clean and neat and had all the comforts of home. I super nice feature is that the bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs and beach towels are all included and in good condition. We had fun just hanging out at the property or taking the short 1 min walk to the beach and hanging out there. We were able to walk or bike to many different and delicious restaurants. We will be back!

John DeForest, Brawley, California says:
This place is a little small but perfect. The location was perfect also. We were literally steps from the beach and the best place for our kids to boogie board. Everything is within walking or bike riding distance. The neighbors were very nice and quiet. Overall, a great place that we would like to stay at again.

Jesse W, Scottsdale, AZ says:
The place is perfectly located next to the beach and all the night life in Pacific Beach, would definitely come back. All the things you need for a beach stay are included ie, cooler, beach cruisers, and some boogie boards. Amazing Labor Day weekend plus parking is not an issue with the garage spot included.

We had a great time at the Shark. The accomodations were comfortable and fit everything we needed. The bikes, cooler, chairs, beach towels and boogie boards in the garage were an added bonus! We really loved the fact that we could bring our dogs. The house is just a short walk to the beach, boardwalk and a little grassy park where we could walk the dogs. Thank you and we will keep you in mind for future visits!

Kevin, Houston, TX says:
The Shark was comfortable, very clean and the location is very close to beach access. Plenty of beach towels, boogie boards, etc - makes it easy to spend a full day or even just a couple of hours on the beach. The queen bed is very squeeky with cheap linens and the wireless router (internet) was not working well (failed at least once per day).

David Dumler, Littleton, CO says:
The house looked great, great location! It doesn't get much better than this. Only thing we didn't have was a spatula for the frying pan. It was great. one of the beach chairs is broken but we didn't need them all so it was fine. Quiet enjoyment. Very good job of keeping the guests satisfied in one area with no disruptions! That made it very relaxing.

The home was very clean. (one small scuff inside bathroom door)- Laundry area- Dryer lint screan is broken need a new one. Perfect location. Quiet neighborhood close to the beach. Needs cutting board, collander, trash can in master BR, extra bath towels, and a few recommendations for pizza ETC. The master bed makes a lot of noise when you get in and out or move. Thank you for the beach supplies. The towels were great. The boogie boards were epic. The bikes were new as were the chairs, umbrellas and cooler. Wow. I loved the wagon. Very convienient to take stuff down to the beach.

Thomas Albro, La Mirada, CA says:
The unit was very clean. The bathroom was smaller than I envisioned. The location is great, even better than I hoped for.

Allowed us to check in early.

kathy, yuma az says:
It was absolutely darling! We enjoyed it thoroughly, immaculate, everything was there you just have to bring your clothes. From the street you are able to look at the ocean and it is just a few steps to the ocean. I would say in the summer it may be a little warm with no air conditioning but it has ceiling fans and stand up fans in the bedrooms. We had five women and we all had enough room. Thanks so much for keeping the property in great shape.

Reviews for Yellow Cottage
Laurel Estrada, Wyoming says:
Livin it up in La Jolla. We had a great stay in the house, it was very cozy. The beds were so comfortable. We loved using the provided bikes to cruise around town, we actually felt like we were locals, The farmers market up the street was amazing, we went twice during our stay. Windnsea beach was beautiful and clean and blocks away from the property.

grandma9, Maryland says:
Perfect for our needs. We rented both the Yellow Cottage and Heritage Place to accommodate our entire family for a week's visit to San Diego. The set-up was perfect with the front door of the yellow cottage only a few steps away from the back door of Heritage House. The baby monitor allowed us to put some of the kids to bed and still hear them next door. The location of the houses was great! The house was clean and well supplied. It was great that there was a washing machine right in the house. However, there were a few mainenance issues with the house. It "rained" in the kitchen when the shower was on. Secondly, one of the shutters kind of fell apart when we opened it. We were able to fix it. Both were reported. Overall, it was a great space and we were happy with our week in the two houses.

San Diego Vacation , Santee says:
The whole family had a great time. We have three kids of all different ages. It was nice to have a vacation that everyone had a good time. Even though we live in San Diego it was nice to stay so close to the beach. We were able to relax and have a great time with Family. The house was clean and so many fun things to do. We can not wait until we can stay again. We hated to pack up and go home.

From the moment we walked in we felt the soothing calmness and peacefulness we were to enjoy the whole week. Not even record breaking rain and mudslides everywhere could dampen the wonderful week we have spent here at the yellow cottage. From the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, Legoland, extreme shopping and delicious meals from La Jolla to Mission Beach and two great days spent on the very kid friendly La Jolla Shores Beach. We were always happy to return to the soothing seclusion of the cottage. Thanks to everyone for an incredible week. We look forward to a February tradition in the making. No doubt we’ll return the warm memories of La Jolla in the bitter cold winters of Chicago. Lots of love!!!!!

Although the weather was truly horrible for San Diego (having previously lived there for many years, we return at least twice yearly to escape the Midwest) - it was still SOOOOO much better than the rest of the country that week! The Cottage was absolutely lovely and its accessories (beach bikes, sand toys, picnic gear) would have been totally fabulous any other week! It was a block from the beach, and walking distance to Pannikin (Best. Coffee. Ever.), Yoga and Pilates, and downtown La Jolla and the Cove. The staff was wonderful (and the Champagne and chocolates after our trip out were very tasty!) and responsive. Thanks! We hope to stay there again!

Megan, Kansas City says:
Our stay in the yellow cottage was nothing short of amazing. The location can not be beat. It sets in a beautiful neighborhood of charming and elegant houses and is just a two minute walk to the beach. Shops and restaurants are just around the corner. We found the neighbors to be so welcoming... everyone approachable and warm. They even showed us a secret entrance to a secluded part of the beach! The house is perfect size for family of 4-5 and we wanted for nothing. My only request might be for new pillows... they were a bit flat.

Melinda, Tualatin, OR says:
The Yellow Cottage was just what we had hoped for. Our family of 5 (with kids in jr. high, high school and college) thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this very charming house in a quiet La Jolla neighborhood. Our kids liked having bikes to ride to the beach and in to town. My husband and I enjoyed our 20 minute walks to town for coffee, shopping and visiting La Jolla Cove. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed, including beach towels. The staff was very professional and friendly and helped us get discounted tickets for Sea World and the San Diego Zoo.

Carey Brekken, Minnesota says:
We loved the location which was close to the beaches and the village of LaJolla. The staff was great to work with! Our only complaint would be that the some of the amenities at the Yellow Cottage were in need of replacement or updating. Some of the hardwood floor boards were loose and the toilets were so loud when flushed and the upstairs toilet kept running after flushing. We thought that all the "upper" shutters on the windows should be removed to showcase the wide window moldings and high windows. They are so not necessary for privacy and it was hard to open the lower shutters because they always stuck or got caught on the upper shutters.

The Yellow Cottage in La Jolla was the perfect location for exploring San Diego and the surrounding area. We have 3 boys and filled every day we were there with Legoland, San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, San Diego Safari Park, the aircraft carrier and all the boat museums,etc. There is a beach 5 minutes from the cottage which is quiet and you can watch the surfers and there are more excellent beaches along the coast, including the children's beach where the seals come onshore, and the shell beach. We didn't need to travel into San Diego for great restaurants - La Jolla has it all! La Jolla is also a great stepping stone if you want to include LA in your travels, we spent a week in the Yellow Cottage and then drove up to LA for a few days.
A great 'home away from home'!

Becki Hanson, Bay Area says:
The Yellow House was very cute and the living room furniture was clean and very stylish. It was very close to the beach and the wagon and bikes were great. The downside to the place was the stairs were very steep and not good for kids at all. There was a baby gate for the bottom but it was broken and would not stay up. When I called for another one it was a $25 fee to bring another one. Another downfall of the location was it was located to a busy street and there was no gate for fence off the driveway. There is a gate but you can not pull it shut. Cute house but I don't think I would stay with little kids, older would be better.

Midwest Guest, Missouri says:
This was a very cute little place. My husband and I stayed here with our daughter and her husband. We enjoyed the location of a neighborhood over a tourist area. The home was clean but because it is very old it had an "old home" smell. It would probably help if it were deep cleaned and repainted, inside and out. Despite that, we enjoyed the home. It was nice to have a kitchen to fix breakfast 2 of the 3 mornings we were there. La Jolla is a very nice area and the home is close to many shops/restaurants, as well as a short walk to the beach. Checking in and out of the Yellow Cottage was a breeze with Southern California Vacation Rentals! We have stayed at vacation rentals before and the process of checking in & out was a nightmare. I would definitely recommend dealing with SCVR and will check with them the next time we come to California.

Erin, Denver says:
We had a lovely and relaxing stay at the Yellow Cottage. The house was extremely clean and well-stocked, bright and cheery. Appliances all worked well, the bathrooms were a decent size with plenty of hot water, very comfortable, well-maintained furniture, and immaculate grounds. We were lucky that no one was staying in the neighboring houses and it was very private and quiet on the property. It was an easy walk to the beach, especially with the wagon stocked and ready to carry everything we needed, and an equally easy ride into town on bikes. The only two issues we had were that the street noise from La Jolla Boulevard was fairly constant (not a surprise given the location, but noticeable) and the loft bunk bed had been switched out for a queen with twin trundle. Both were very comfortable, but the bunks would have worked better for my younger kids and the space. SCVR were extremely responsive and helpful, acquiring both bikes and Legoland tickets for us and delivered to the house. It really couldn't have been easier.

Chloe and Keaton's Mimi, Yuma/Phoenix AZ says:
While my daughter and son in law were on vacation in Cancun, I got the better part of the deal and rented the Little Yellow Cottage to spend the week spoiling the grandchildren (8 and 11). We had a wonderful time, they loved the cottage, eating fresh berries from the farmers market, spending a day at the zoo, Seaport Village and, of course, getting to eat anything they wanted. The highlight for the 8 year old was getting a guitar from Old Town (not sure his parents agree:-) Thanks for helping me to make great memories for two great kids.

Great job with cleaning! Wonderful location- We loved the neighborhood and enjoyed walking from here in to town for shopping and dining. The house feels very homey and the decorating is so cute! The bunk bed was very squeaky. more bath soap was needed and a bath mat. There should be a mat at the door and a few packets of coffee. Thanks for helping us get discounted tickets for the Zoo and Sea World! Staff members were very polite and welcoming.

House was clean on arrival, near to shops which was great for getting household supplies. Ideal Location. We were the only in the home to sleep as we had an active vacation planned. It would have been nice to have a small vaccume to clean the area rug. More beach toys would have been nice (buckets and spades) only surf/boogie boards available. I had not read on the web site that there was a washer/dryer -we would have packed less had we known.

Home is located in a great location. Close walk to beach-safe area. Nice restaurants & shops near by. The home is in need of some updating, specifically new t.v's, air conditioning (it gets very hot & stuffy in the house & we were there during a cold spell), air vents need to be cleaned, wallpaper pealing in kitchen, house needs to be painted. Despite these needed repairs, the house is comfortable & the location can't be beat.

Reviews for Sand Patch One
Jason Brook, SandPatch one says:
We love this place, even better the second visit.
Location is ideal -easy walk to Beach, fantastic restaurants, kids park.
Very secure so munchkins didn’t escape. Decks outdoor living is 100% us. Plenty of space, beds for 5-7. Beachie, bright enough- we love it & will return.
PS Looked at Sandpatch 2 exactly the same - yard a bit different.
Suggestion, walk to Snackoplus (sp?) (UCSD cafe on cliff) and visit the cute grocery store (easy walk) cars are a drag. Jason

Phoenix Family, AZ says:
We enjoyed staying at Sand Patch One. The house was very well appointed,
clean and roomy and very close to the beach. My children enjoyed the front
and back yards and the bikes were a bonus. The only issue was the checking out policy. We were required to strip the beds/ all linens and "clean" prior to the cleaning crews arrival. After paying "fees" (cleaning fee, insurance and such) out the nose I thought it inappropriate to have to do this "pre-cleaning". I also didn't appreciate the threat of yet another fee if I didn't comply to this check out policy.

Britta and Family , Munich, Germany says:
Close to beach wonderful located house with style and good price. We came from Germany and had chosen Sand-Patch Two the year before as well. Due to the dates, we had chosen Sand-Patch One and Two (moved from one house over to the other) and loved both of them. Nice, clean, modern-styled furniture, nice garden, beautifully located. To be honest, it was a dream to stay there. We loved every minute and the service of the rental agency was PERFECT. Whenever we will come back, we will try to stay there again. We liked best the relaxes atmosphere, the arrangement of the room, the kitchen, the extra room that was created in the garage, the garden, the closeness to restaurant and beach. Then real only set-back was the watering of the garden starting at 4 a.m. and that the running water could be heard in the house. But this was changed by the owner within one day. As a family with one kid it was also so nice to have all the necessary items in the playground.

One Week in Paradise"
We had a wonderful stay at Sand Patch One in La Jolla. Just blocks from the beach, and readily accessable to San Diego's many destinations, we were able to enjoy many memorable moments during our stay.
The house was clean and roomy. Having our groceries delivered prior to our arrival was an added bonus. As was the use of a jogging stroller, beach toys and other baby items for our child.
We look forward to making a return visit soon.

The location of Sandpatch is its biggest asset--it's a quick walk to La Jolla Shores beach and the kids loved boogie boarding there everyday.
It was a comfy base to stay and the kitchen was well equipped.Booking was easy by internet and the staff at SCVR were helpful without being pushy.
San Diego is a superb holiday destination, there is just soooo much to do. Sea World, the zoo, kayak tours of The Cove,Padres baseball,Coronado-- it's the first holiday I've lost weight on!Of course you could just chill at the beach but having come from the UK we packed in as much as we could!
La Jolla is very safe and upmarket,the downsides are the traffic if you don't go out early (thank goodness there is a car park space at the house)and it can get a bit hot inside with no aircon.Overall it is worth the financial outlay!

Fabulous Beach Vacation - We'll Return Again Next Year.
Lovely little neighborhood. House is just blocks from the beach. Our 2-year-old loved the amazing playground on the beach. Avenida de la Playa has some great little restaurants. Osteria Romantica has incredible Italian food. Very easy to get everywhere in San Diego. I couldn't recommend this more highly. We'll definitely be back!!

Nadia, San Francisco says:
Last December, I stayed here with my husband, two infant and my parents! We had a great time, and eventhough the house is not huge, we were all quite comfortable. There are no outside views, but the inside is cozy and cute with a whimsical oceanside theme throughout. We used the house as our base, since we were out everyday. And it was great because we would come back and give the kids naps and then go out again and come back at night. We also used the fully stocked kitchen (has everything except food) to prepare breakfast and dinner most days. That was really convenient and saved us some money.
The location is AMAZING!! Walking distance from La Jolla Shores, and less then half hour to the SD Zoo, Seaworld and downtown SD. It is a beautiful area.
Cute house with everything in it, well-kept and clean.
We had great family vaca while staying here!

Amy Hall, Salt Lake City says:
Overall this was a good place to stay for the money. It was affordable and convenient to beach and other attractions (zoo, Legoland, etc.). Some improvement, however, should be made to the property. First it needs some landscaping work. Second the king bed in master needs a king size duvet instead of a king size cover and a smaller duvet. Third the property needs a brownie pan/ 13x9 pan (people use this pan a lot on vacation). Finally, the bathroom needs rugs as do the bedrooms. It may mean minimal additional cleaning but would enhance a renters experience. I didn't bring slippers (don't normally bring them on vacation) and forever felt I was walking in sand (even though we were careful to clean up in the backyard before entering the house).

Alexis Thompson, San Francisco says:
We traveled by car from San Francisco to stay at Sand Patch One for a week of rest and relaxation...with an 18 month old. While looking into properties for our vacation, I was most concerned that we have easy access back and forth to a kid-friendly beach as well as outside space that was safe for our little one. This could not have been a more perfect fit! The beach was a five minute walk--in a very safe, quiet neighborhood--from the house and adjacent to a GREAT playground. The house was stocked with great beach toys and a wagon we used on our daily (sometimes twice daily) trips to the beach.
The house itself was lovely, with very minimal decoration (a plus in our situation) and very kid-friendly. Well stocked kitchen, working fireplace, laundry facility, spacious rooms and nice outdoor spaces all added to our enjoyment of our stay.
Also, the Birch aquarium is a 3 minute drive from the house, and the zoo was fairly close as well. Next time we *might* adventure to Lego land or the Safari Park, but we were just as happy to be close to home and enjoy the beach!

Thank you so much, will stay again!

Reviews for Heritage Place
Molly K , Anthem AZ says:
This rambling, historic home has it all! My family filled this beautiful, rambling home to capacity (13) last winter for an extended family reunion combined with an 80th birthday party for my mom. We couldn't have had a better space for it! This home has undergone a beautiful remodel that still allows for the historic character of the house to remain. Remarkably, the bedrooms all felt private, in spite of the large expanses of communal space in the middle of the home. The home has several levels, providing lots of spaces for impromptu meetings or for taking a moment for quiet and privacy. There were several cooks among us, and all were very pleased to find everything we could want in the kitchen. For any given meal, we had 4-5 people involved preparing and cooking, and there was more than enough room for everyone. The walk to the beach was easy, and it was a pleasant stroll past lovely homes on quiet streets. The beach itself was also perfect. From the 6 year old to the 82 year old, even in December, all agreed that there just wasn't enough time by the water. To top it off, when I needed to reach out to the management company about some items that were left behind by a family member, they were friendly and responsive, and their cleaning staff had already brought them the items for safe-keeping. Overall, we had a magical three days at Heritage Place, and my family agrees we will try to return to the same property again for a future reunion.

Great Place to stay with family! My family and I stayed at the Heritage place in the first part of January 2010 and have nothing but rave reviews for this property. It is walking distance to a very nice beach, and a short drive away from La Jolla village. The place was very clean and is a very good place to consider for large groups, especially when you factor in the other two houses on the property. The owner/manager were very helpful in resolving any questions/issues, and were very prompt in completing all paperwork (contract, refund of security deposit, etc.). I would recommend this property to all friends and family, and am confident that you will find this a relaxing place to enjoy La Jolla/San Diego. Curt

Our family stayed at all 3 houses on this historic property for my mother's birthday/family reunion. We were coming from all over the country with children of varying ages and personalities. This setting allowed us the best possible vacation. We had plenty of room to spread out, but the kitchen/living room area in the heritage house allowed us all to gather for meals comfortably accommodating a large group. We could walk to the beach easily. Some could stay up late, others nap or go to bed early, and there was room for it all. We could not have been more pleased and would happily stay there again.

Everything was perfect even the weather cooperated too. For most of the stay. Keep doing what you are doing. I definitely will book more So Cal Vacation Rentals.

We were here Feb. 9-13 and the house was a last minute decision (literally we booked the place within 24 hours) because another owner backed out in Coronado Island. In hindsight this house was way better and it allowed us to entertain family and friends on the desk. Plus the house was very cozy for afternoon naps. Thank you for opening your home to us, and hopefully we will be back to San Diego soon.

Rebecca Long, Bay Area says:
The heritage house is a spacious beautifully furnished home in a great location in La Jolla, within easy walking distance from the beach and stores. We had no trouble sleeping 7 adults and 4 kids, though we could have used a 4th bathroom! The outside patio was a welcome respite from the heat and there were numerous places to choose from for socializing or just sitting and reading. The kitchen is very well equipped and the beds were super comfy. I hope we get a chance to return one day.

Kristen, Boston says:
The home was extremely well-furnished and well-stocked (especially the kitchen), the beds & linens were very comfy and the location close to the beach was handy. However, the location on La Jolla Blvd made the home very loud. It was difficult to get a good night's sleep. It also would have been nice to know that someone else is living on property. That was a surprise.

Heritage Place was perfect for a family of seven. The kids loved the hot tub at night and also exploring La Jolla on bike.

The weather was great- sunny every day- a nice change from the cold and snow in Minnesota. We are sad to leave!!

Reviews for Kai Vista
David, Batesville says:
Our family had a great stay at Kai Vista. The unit was newly remodeled - very nice and very clean. Slept our family of 6 (including 2 teenagers and 2 children) comfortably with 2 king beds and a futon. The place might be a little cramped for 6 adults, but was fine for our family. The unit had a well-equipped kitchen and we cooked dinner in several nights. There is a grocery a few minutes drive away.
The location is great...a block from the beach and a perfect view of the surfers off Windansea (they are usually out from sun-up to sun-down) from the balcony. The beach itself is very scenic with a mix of rock and smaller open areas of sandy beach, but it is less ideal for swimming especially for smaller kids when the surf is high. However, LaJolla Shores Beach, which is a wide sandy beach and a bit calmer surf, is only a short drive away. Location is also ideal with respect to proximity to San Diego. We made several trips downtown for a Padres game, zoo, Sea World, etc., and it was only a 20-25 min drive each time.
The neighborhood is quiet - there are people out and about, and light traffic at times with people vying for parking spots to go to Winansea Beach, but we never had a problem with noise or other disruptions day or night.
Check-in and check-out was very smooth with no issues. I was very pleased with the reservation process and follow-up provided leading up to and during the stay. Since we had no issues or problems with the property, we did not need to contact the rental company for any service during our stay.
Overall very satisfied with the unit, location, amenities, and service provided. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

The place is very nicely decorated, and the interior and appliances were upscale.
The house was very clean and nice. We had our groceries delivered prior to our arrival, and that was great.
We have a 10-month old and a 6-year old, and the use of the jogging stroller, beach toys and other baby items for our children worked out nicely.
We look forward to staying here again.

Chris D, Wiltshire, England says:
Everything about Kai Vista was perfect, it was spotlessly clean, many items appeared brand new and had everything you could possibly need - including a great selection of DVDs and even beach equipment. We're a family of 5 - 2 adults, 2 young adults and a teenager and there was plenty room for us all.
The beach is less than 2 minutes walk away and, in our opinion, it was the best beach along the So Cal coast. We were visiting our son who is at UCSD so the location was perfect for driving to him each day and also to downtown San Diego.
Really glad we chose this rental and only sorry that we had to leave.

Nancy, Chicago says:
This 2 bedroom condo was perfect for two couples. Each bedroom was spacious and had access to its own bathroom and small outdoor space. The water pressure in the bathrooms was good. The matresses and pillows were very comfortable. The linens and towels were soft and of good quality. At night, you can hear the surf. The living/dining area were comfortable. The balcony offers a nice view of the ocean, especially at sunset. The cushions on the outdoor furniture could probably be replaced. Although we really only used the refrigerator, the kitchen is well equiped. The only negative feature of this rental is that the Internet service was very weak/slow which made even attempting to check email frustrating. Despite that single issue, everything else was perfect. The beach is one street away and there is a paved walkway with benches. The La Jolla shopping area is close with good coffee shops and casual restaurants. Travelling to downtown San Diego area attractions was easy.

Carissa McKinney, Omaha, NE says:
I can not say enough about this property! The location is perfect, literally steps from one of the most breathtaking beaches in San Diego. Gorgeous ocean and sunset views from the patio/deck and from the main living space. Sounds of the ocean can be heard with the sliding door cracked, very relaxing, a true oasis getaway from a busy lifestyle. Overall the condo was designed/decoreated with superb taste, with high end finishes and appliances. We traveled from Nebraska with my parents, husband and 3 year old son. There was plenty of room for all, the roll away bed worked perfectly for our 3 year old. The beds were extremely comfortable and each bedroom had its own private bathroom. There was also plenty of beach necessities (towels, chairs, toys, beach cruisers, etc.). We also saw some baby gear for littler ones, pack and play, potty seat, etc. The owners have seriously thought of everything!
The property is conveniently located just south of the La Jolla cove and shops on Propsect, and just north of Pacific Beach. Lots of little shops and places to eat within walking or biking distance.
I very highly recommend this property, we will definitely be back!

Spencer B., Vancouver, BC says:
This place was perfect for our family of 5. The location was very central for Legoland, Seaworld, both the Zoos and other San Diego attractions. It was a major bonus to be so close to a wonderful beach- no worries about finding parking spots when you can walk across the street to the waterfront (prime parking spots at beaches fill up fast.) I'm not sure if it was the great beds, the peaceful sound of the waves at night or being exhausted from having so much fun around San Diego but I slept better here than I have in years! The deck was a great place to sit, watch the surfers and unwind with a glass of wine after a busy day. Heather and crew at SoCal rentals did and outstanding job heping make this one of our best trips ever. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place!

We LOVED the Kai Vista property. The Windansea Beach was stunning. There were many local restaurants that were hidden gems that were walking/bike reading distance from the property. The property itself was lovely and comfortable for a shared travel experience. It was a bonus to have a bathroom in each bedroom and the view was lovely. I would stay here again in a minute.

Simon Hodgkin, Nottingham says:
Cleanliness was to a high standard although we had to get a duvet cover changed as it had grease marks. The location was excellent and the house well equiped and very comfortable. The only thing lacking was egg cups! Additionally we purchased a toilet brush from one of the bathrooms! A local street map may have been useful. Wi-Fi instructions need updating as theres a typo. When we did have an issue (Duvet, coffee machine, bike locks) you dealt with it quickly and satisfactorily. Overall a fantastic place -brilliant location and just about perfect for a family holiday!

Family A, United States says:
So much better than staying in a hotel: our family could socialize in the living area, walk to the beach, eat meals in rather than at a restaurant, watch the waves from the balcony. Kai Vista is a perfect location. We could hear waves at night, and it was quiet during the day. I was on bedrest for three days following a medical procedure, and it couldn't have been a better place to be for 72 straight hours: nicely appointed, the most comfortable beds and linens and bright/light. This property actually made San Diego/La Jolla a vacation destination we never would have considered before. My only recommendation is that there be one more comfy chair in the living room area and perhaps some suitcase stands. Besides that, it was perfect!

NKM, Cincinnati says:
The location of this family home can't be beat! It is located in a very quiet neighborhood with very little foot or car traffic. We literally walked less than half-a-block to reach the beach. Wind and Sea beach offers lovely and interesting rocks and is family friendly. There is a lot to explore on this beach. Also, we watched surfers all day long. There were great waves the whole week. My husband and I walked everywhere around La Jolla and the Cove. The layout of the house worked well for our family, and it was updated and comfortable. The only reason I gave it 3 stars for clealiness is because some of the kitchen drawers hadn't been cleaned thoroughly and some of the drawers were not working properly. Overall, it is a gem of a vacation rental in the moderately priced bracket.

Linda, Los Angeles says:
Nice little condo with a great view of the ocean and just a short block to lots of beach access. Well appointed, great for two couples or a threesome who are doing things together but want separate sleeping areas and bath. For longer stays, lack of washer dryer could be a negative. We traveled in winter and did not actually go into the very cold water, so it was not an issue for us.

The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood. The Wind & Sea beach is only 5 min walking but not that impressive but La Jolla shore is really close by and it's a great beach. If you want a more lively neighborhood then you should reconsider this house.
The house has cute decor and everything you need is in the house. It'd be great if it can provide more soap and shampoo.

Bay Area Family, San Francisco says:
The Rushville Cottage is a decent place to stay. We were satisfied overall but there were a couple things that we were disappointed with. First, one of the biggest reasons we chose this property was because of the yard (traveling with 3 kids under 5). However, the yard was not usable because it was flooded and muddy due to sprinklers that came on every morning. We called to ask that they be turned off but they weren't and even so it wouldn't have mattered because it never got sunny enough to dry up the lawn. Second, there were no extra linens or blankets and it got cold at night. Third, the kitchen is not well stocked as far as pots and pans. There are the basic items but if you need a big frying pan, forget it. The cottage itself was very clean and cute and in a great location so I guess that's what you're paying for.

John, Boulder says:
The was lots of seating and the house was very home-like. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, dishes, and utensils. We were surprised to find the dining room had two pull-out leaves. There was room for Thanksgiving dining for the whole family and guests. The lime tree out back and the quality gas grill were special treats. There was even a frozen margareta mixer. Wow!
The living room TV is not a flat screen and the controllers didn't work for anything but basics. There were not instruction on how to use the dishwasher. The check out instruction in the contract and in the house info book were different and partially contradicted each other.
We had a great time and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. Very pleased.

Luisa Gabriela Flores & Genaro Perez, Scottsdale, AZ says:
The house was really clean and it had all we needed, however, the master bedroom was probably a garage converted into a room and the heat/AC doesn;t really work well in the room. If you visit the house during the winter season there's a lot of cold air coming from the adjacent closet and laundry room and the heating vent is super small and not enough for the room. Also the bathroom was too small, not really a master bedroom. The two other rooms in the house are good and the shared bathroom is large enough. The house is conveniently located and everything worked well but we will probably choose another more updated property for our next trip.

Tina Swift, Mission Viejo says:
We had trouble with the second bathroom! You should be very thankful that we heard water running when we were watching a movie in the front bedroom (couldn't get the dvd to work in the living room) and knew right away to turn off the main water supply line.
Also, the dinning room front window/screen was not securely in. We had a gentleman come to the door late on Sunday night selling something!!! and needless to say that window not being tightly shut made us a bit nervous.
I would highly recommend replacing all the tube tv's -
I am very surprised and disappointed that no one in your company felt it would be good customer service to pick up the phone and call me - due to the fact that we had to have Mark come out and fix the toliet at 10pm - which was not fixed, but just temporarily patched up. We did not use that bathroom at all after that. Very inconvenient.

Supreme Perfect Penthouse!! I had so much fun on this property with my closest girl friends! We were over due for a getaway, and I am so happy that we choose this place! From the get go we had absolute, top notch customer service! (Thank you so much!) And not once were we in need of anything! I think the most fun we had was taking the beach cruisers they supplied up for a ride! Very good times! - Everything was so close and convenient, but best of all, the property was perfect in every way. There were five of us and it was a perfect fit for us all! Very clean, new/updated, and parking for two cars made things very easy! I will definitely be back! I would recommend this for all family/friend vacations!

Missy and Megan were all the time in contact, polite and very helpful with answers. I would highly recommend this property for family vacation!

The service we recieved when booking the property was excellent. We spoke with very friendly agents who answered all our questions in a professional manner. We really enjoyed the property, it had all the comforts of our home with an amazing view and location steps to the beach. The location was great, very family friendly, but we didn't go at peak season when there might be more parties and a tougher time at finding parking. I liked the location the best. I didn't like that there were no bikes to use, but with many rental places on the boardwalk, that problem was easily solved. We would love to rent this place again and look forward to planning our next vacation in San Diego.

J Kaplan, Los Angeles, CA says:
We have stayed at the Periwinkle Cottage for years now and love to come back each time because it never changes (and that's a good thing). The cottage is a great old home in a fabulous location in La Jolla and has been lovingly preserved while around it the old homes have been replaced by lifeless condos. The location is about perfect - a block from the beach, 5 minutes to the art museum, symphony and restaurants. The cottage has a lovely kitchen, a secluded rear patio and some views of the water. It is so quiet at night that you can hear the waves crashing on the beach! If you prefer the beach at La Jolla Shores (it is a better swimming beach), you can be there in 5-10 minutes. The house is just right for a family of 3 or 4. I hope you enjoy the Periwinkle Cottage as much as we do.

We had a good experience here. The rooftop view and master suite are the best things about it. It's just a very short walk to the beach, a very short drive to great shopping and my son rode his bike around the neighborhood in the evenings. The high end appliances were difficult to use and and the very steep stairwell and balconies are dangerous for young children, so bring a gate if you have rug rats.

Andrew Lattimore, England says:
We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the property and location. Unfortunately the property went into foreclosure shortly before our stay so it will no longer be available - otherwise we would have recommended it. The foreclosure meant we had some interruption to our time with people driving by to look at the house and even knocking on the door to ask to look around with a view to buying it. However, SCVR staff were really helpful with this and put 'do not disturb' signs up and offered us some money back (unprompted) for the inconvenience. I could not fault them and would highly recommend SCVR to others.

Jason Freund, Cupertino, CA says:
The house is mostly good and the management company that processed the rental was very nice. The location is great, and the house works well for extended family groups because of the separation of bedrooms between 3 levels.
However, I couldn't give it 5 stars because there were a lot of minor issues that should have been addressed by the owner to make it a great overall value. For example, many appliances are very old and were either broken, noisy, or unreliable. I learned the hard way the driveway is not shaped properly -- you can see lots of deep scrapes at the top of the driveway -- but there was no warning in the welcome email. The paint is very marked up, and we had to keep showers short to avoid cold showers.

Doggie Mama, Texas says:
What an amazing home and dog friendly too! We won't travel without our dog BoBo and finding a home that will allow him that is of the quality that we prefer is not easy to do. However Seaview exceeded both mine and BoBo's expectations. The home was BEAUTIFUL, clean, and included many of the high end items I have at home like the mattresses, linens, furnishings, etc. Plus it was a great house for BoBo because of the tile and wooden floors, fully enclosed yard with lots of shade AND grass, plus it was only a half-block from beach access where we took walks every morning and played in the sand. We will definitely be back. This is our new home away from home now that we have found it.

Nancy Lisa, Maryland says:
My family was in California to welcome our son/brother/boyfriend home from a year in Afghanistan. We decided to rent a house so we could all be together in a homey, more personal setting rather than a "cold" hotel room. What we found upon arrival at Via Maria was ideal!! The house was lovely and the neighborhood quiet. The beach was only a short walk from the house and believe me this out of shape 56 year old would let you know if it wasn't short. The house was exceptionally clean. Renting through Southern California Vacation Rentals was a pleasure! They were an absolute delight to work with. We requested a few extra towels and they were delivered immediately and with a smile. They were able to get us last minute tickets to Disneyland and even brought them to the house for us. The most appreciated favor was picking up and delivering a special package that had been overnighted to me. I would rent through them again without any hesitation and recommend them highly!

furniture needs to be upgraded in living area. Arm chairs at dining room set very loose. Not enough towels. Wearing white socks inside got very dirty from tile floor. King bed was comfortable, but sheets rather scratchy.
My girlfriends and I did have a good time. I filled out paperwork at the house and hope to receive the $25.00 towards future bookings, like mentioned.

There were no tv's in the master or second bedroom.Im not complaining!We really loved the house,those few details just would of made it more comfortable.

Bill, Wisconsin says:
If you are looking for a perfect Beach front space and one outdoor parking space this is ideal. Jackie and her staff at SCVR were very helpful and accommodating to our needs. However has far as luxury goes don’t let the pictures fool you. It is much smaller than it looks and needs some maintenance. Be prepared to go to the store and purchase all your small cooking supplies from coffee, salt & pepper to paper towels, & cleaning supplies etc. The cupboards are bare! We run out of TP within three days and had to make another trip. There were no dish clothes or towels to clean with so we used the hand towels in the BR. No broom to sweep up sand, etc. Had to go the laundry matt to purchase soap to wash clothes and towels with! It became a lot of work to keep running to the store for every single thing and not as relaxing as we had hoped. We found tons of beautiful places which were much less expense. So do your shopping or be ready to go shopping upon your arrival. But if you’re just there for the spectacular views and closeness to the beach this is perfect. Many amenities they promised were not available for this unit such as bikes so also be prepared to rent what you need!

Nick LoRusso, Yellowknife, NT Canada says:
The property came as advertised, with no bad surprises! It was clean upon arrival, the location is fabulous and the staff very helpful when called upon. The only minor item we had was that the bed boxspring was rather noisy, not a huge deal normally, but can pose an issue if you're sleeping in the same room as a toddler. This did not make the vacation any less enjoyable though! Would DEFINITELY return to this property, and would refer others to it as well.

Charmaine, Toronto says:
The elevator didn't work and we had gotten the house with one because one of the guest had a knee injury so the 4 floors was quite inconvenient without an elevator as promised. A few of the tvs in the bedrooms also did not work and the air conditioner did not kick in for many hours leaving the house extremely warm and uncomfortable. Aside from that, house is large and very nice and didn't feel crowded at all with 10 people. The staff at Southern California were very friendly and helpful. Location was great, a short walk to the beach and it's beautiful by the water. Neighbourhood was nice and short drive for grocery store, cafes, etc. Having the bikes, boogie boards were a bonus. The pool table and exercise room was great to have as well.

Dave Borror, Long Beach, Ca says:
The house was fantastic. Perfect location for enjoying La Jolla and San Diego. Also, the house is located in the hills giving a gorgeous, 180 degree panoramic view (city lights) from the back of the property. The house was clean, the rooms were good size (with the exception of one) and there was plenty of room for the 12 of us to lounge around. The one small room was mainly an office and only sleep one adult with the kids on the floor. The main dining area was large enough for us to bring in another table so we could have all our diners and board meetings together without any space limitations. The kitchen was great. We cooked all our meals in the wonderful kitchen and were able to move around with ease, even with 8 people helping out. The living room was large enough for us to enjoy a movie two of the nights and the surround sound made us feel like we were in a theater. The only trouble we had was with the Hot Tub. It was not hot and we could not seem to get it warmed up. Perhaps we did not know how to work it - not sure. Anyway, we loved this house and hope it is still available for us for our next board retreat. I highly recommend this property!

This was by far the most "homey" home I have ever rented as well as the best stocked. So many utencils and extra towels ect. so there was everything and more. Many places I stay such as Catalina Hamilton cove condos, allow you to get in as much as 3 hrs earlier at no charge if no one has rented priviously I would extend that if possible. If the house is ready. Then there should be no problem. Other than early enter. I think everything was great. The So Cal staff was helpful and very responsive although with everything so satisfactory we didn't need to communicate once we were in!

MALJAMAR, NM - President Obama had a simple greeting for his New Mexico hosts upon arriving at a Roswell airfield this afternoon: I come in peace, he said.
The words a playful reference to the famous 1947 Roswell UFO incident that continues to capture imaginations could have as easily been directed to skeptics of his energy policy.
Obamas visit to an active oil field on federal lands was squarely aimed at counte <a href="http://www.putbackwatches.com/Watches-Jacob-Co/">Replica Jacob Co</a> ring criticism from the right over rising gas prices and claims that domestic oil production is declining on his watch.
Weve quadrupled the number of operating oil rigs to a record high. More than 70 of those rigs are right here in this area, Obama said in a speech before a ConocoPhillips rig, idled for the event.
In fact, business is so <a href="http://www.putbackwatches.com/Watches-Jacob-Co/">Fake Jacob Co Watches for sale</a> good that today the biggest problem is finding enough qualified truck drivers to move all the oil thats coming out of these wells down to the refinery. Too much oil thats a good problem to have, he said.
Domestic oil production overall in the U.S. is at its highest level in the past eight years, according to the Energy Department.
But production on federal lands was down 14 percent year-over-year in 2011, and overall remains 13 percent lower than it was in 2003.
Still, Obama who has made renewable energy a hallmark of his administration insisted hes not backing away from drilling or searching for more oil.
You wouldnt know it from listening to some of these folks running for office, but producing more oil here in our own country has been, and will continue to be, a key part of our energy strategy, Obama said.
Were drilling all over the place, he said.
As for those other, secret government activities taking place in the Roswell area, Obama said they would remain a mystery.
Let me tell you, there are more nine and ten-year-old boys around the country, when I meet them they ask me, Have you been to Roswell? and, Is it true what they say? And I tell them, If I told you, Id have to kill you. And their eyes get all big, he said.
So, were going to keep our secrets here. SHOWS: World News <a href="http://www.michellebranch.com/content/obama-we-weren%E2%80%99t-sent-here-wage-perpetual-political-campaigns%E2%80%99">Replacement Watch Bands</a>

m5Kxg6MYAG, Ngehku9Rxl says:
MUNICH - Chelsea players made it clear they wanted Roberto Di Matteo to be given the coach's job full-time after the Italian's whirlwind three months in charge ended with the Champions League trophy - the prize owner Roman Abramovich had craved the most.
A 4-3 penalty shootout victory over Bayern Munich on the Germans' home ground after a 1-1 draw following extra time was the culmination of a stunning sequence of results.
Chelsea's first European Cup looked highly improbable when they trailed 3-1 to Napoli after a last-16 first leg but Di Matteo took over from the sacked Andre Villas-Boas and masterminded a comeback against the Italians and then wins over Benfica and, heroically, holders Barcelona.
Asked if Di Matteo should now get the full-time job, captain John Terry told ITV on Saturday: Look at that trophy. We hope so. Robbie has been fantastic since he came in.
It was a superb display from the whole squad. When our backs are against the wall we step up to the mark.
Goalkeeper Petr Cech, who saved Arjen Robben's penalty in extra time after Didier Drogba had equalised Thomas Mueller's goal in the 90 minutes, echoed Terry's view of the former assistant coach.
Whatever happens to him, he has got two fantastic cups. He has done enough to get the job but that is for the board to decide, said the Czech, pointing out Di Matteo also helped Chelsea beat Liverpool in the FA Cup final earlier this month.
Captain for the night Frank Lampard said Di Matteo had helped turn the club's flagging season around.
It is not a question for this moment. He took us from a struggling team maybe going out of the Champions League and now we have won it, so just look at that, Lampard said.
The Londoners finished sixth in the Premier League, their worst placing for a decade, but the Champions League triumph ensured they would make next season's top European competition.
Media reports have linked Chelsea with former England manager Fabio Capello and neither Di Matteo and Abramovich have spoken publicly about the future.
I'm enjoying this moment. I won't talk about it now, former Chelsea midfielder Di Matteo said.

Chris, San Francisco says:
Fantastic location and views right across the street from Windansea in front of the Pump House shack. Get any closer and you'd be in the water. The property was clean and well stocked. The interior was a bit dated, but didn't matter because we spent a majority of our time on the beach or the balcony. The unit was clean and comfortable. We will be booking this property again and making it an annual trip.
We would recommend this place to anyone looking to lounge on the beach or needing a quick surf vacation. We surfed Big Rock two-three times a day the whole time we were there.

TLC, Chicago says:
The SCVR staff was incredible. However, Scott who is hired by the owners, Terri and James. is totally incompetent and condescending in his approach to helping me. His attitude was apparent from the start: He did not want to be bothered! I did not have cable service (as advertised). Consequently, he set up installation after I moved in. Rather than taking responsibility, he called and told me that I needed to be up the following morning to give the cable guy access to the apartment. The dvr player only worked in black and white and he was never able to correct that issue. I watch many dvds in black and white (unintentional and unnecessary film noir). Finally, there is an inherent problem with the plumbing. The sewer backed up into the apartment next door to mine and did so much damage that the floor had to be torn out. When it backed up into my apartment, Scoot told me, "You used too much toilet paper". Thereafter it back up into the kitchen sink. I met the owners , Terri and James, when Scott deferred to them. They are great and are taking steps immediately to resolve the issues and were very apologetic. They even bought a gift card for me for having endured this major inconvenience. Scott is the weak link in the system and I hope that the owners will realize this soon. To sum it up, Scott just wants to have SCVR rent the place and take his cut. His wife then "cleans" the place. It was a slice of hell in an extremely convenient and beautiful location.

Stacey, San Antonio, TX says:
This condo is amazing. The views alone make it worth the stay. You get sweeping views of the beach, surfers and the coastline. At night you can hear the rolling waves crash. It is better than a sleep machine. The condo has all the amenities you need and more like bikes, toys, beach towels and etc. It is spacious, clean and comfortable. The upstairs neighbor is super friendly and gives great ideas on where to eat and what to do. My husband and I traveled with our toddler son and my senior parents and we all had enough space to be comfortable and relax. The staff at Southern Cailfonia Vacation Rentals were extremly helpful and courteous. Overall I give this place an 11 out of 10. I'd highly recomend staying here.

Reviews for Corey House
a fan from northern california , Yuba City, CA says:
I have now stayed at both the Yellow Cottage (next door to the Corey House) and the Corey House and found them both delightful. It is great to have separate but side by side houses for family to vacation at . The grounds were well kept and the house was meticulous. The closest beach just private enough and the waves just big enough. The bus stop on the corner made our evening excursions easy as we did not have to worry about directions or parking. Heritage Park's and the Corey House's historical backgrounds in La Jolla made the stay that much more stimulating.

RE, Nashville says:
I spent spring break at eh Corey House with some friends and family and it was amazing. We were in biking or walking distance of downtown La Jolla, Pacific Beach, and Bird Rock. The beach is two blocks away. The house was a great place to come back to every day, and perfect for vacation because it is so open.

I came here for a short vacay with two girlfriends and what attracted us to this property was the house having so much character! It was way more spacious than we had expected and has really nice upgraded appliances. Of course the location is prime! Close to all shops, food, beach, and fun! The staff was incredibly helpful and nice! I will definitely be back for another trip and would recommend this fully to everyone!

TJ, Chicago says:
We rented The Corey House, Heritage Place, and the Yellow Cottage at the same time. It was amazing. It accommodated our entire wedding party so nobody stayed in a hotel. My parents in particular stayed with my brother and his wife in the Corey House. They absolutely loved it, and said that it was 10x better than staying at a hotel. They went to the grocery mart up the street and got things for breakfast and were able to use the kitchen for a homemade breakfast everyday. A semi-private beach is right down the street for a little fun in the sun. What can I say, all three places were perfect. I would absolutely recommend this accommodation to my best friend!

This was a great location in La Jolla. Great distance for walking to town and shopping, eating, going to the beach or seeing the seals at the Cove. It is on a main road but is very quiet at night and the cars aren't bothersome at all when you are in the yard on inside the house. Has all the amenities of home and is very clean. The backyard is great with lots of vegetation and a patio table where you can relax or eat outside. I would definitely stay here again when visiting San Diego.

Sally Beck, St. Louis, MO says:
We had a great time and loved the charm of Corey House. The downstairs layout, the kitchen, the front porch and patio in back were wonderful spaces. But since you asked, I will mention a few things that were not very handy. It was advertised as 2 1/2 blocks from the beach, but "four blocks" would be more honest. The shower apparatus wasn't functioning, and we could have called you about that, but didn't. A couple of hooks in the bathroom and a soap/shampoo holder in the bathtub would be most helpful. Then there's the bedroom. It turned out to be only two of us, so it was o.k., because we used one bed for our stuff. If there had been four people it would not have worked very well. What about some built-in shelves, at least, on the landing at the top of the stairs? Also, we found out that we could bump our heads three different ways, getting in and out of bed. Bummer. Thanks for listening.

J'sMom, Texas says:
The Corey House is a very sweet little cottage that is located close to Windansea Beach and La Jolla Cove (both easily within walking distance). We had a great vacation and particularly enjoyed the front porch and the backyard area of the house. The house is located on a street that does get quite a bit of traffic, and there is a bus stop just outside the courtyard. We kept the windows open since there is no a/c, and the street noise was sometimes bothersome.

Matt G, Denver, CO says:
I wasn't sure what to expect going to the San Diego area and staying in La Jolla. We ended up booking the Corey House as it had a lot of amenities for a family traveling with a 1 year old. The house is very nice and clean. Our only issue was the no air conditioning (which we knew about before booking). I thought San Diego weather would be ok, but it was really humid the whole week we were there which made sleeping a little difficult, especially for our 1 year old. We also didn't want to leave the windows open at night as the home is right on a major street with a bus stop right next to it. Not that it wasn't a safe area, we just don't like to leave windows open that are on ground level. We probably wouldn't stay in La Jolla again, but not because of the SCVR staff or the house. It's just a little to glam and high end for us.

Margaret, Bungendore, Australia says:
Interesting architecture, immaculate landscaping, WiFi and a well-equipped kitchen were disappointingly overshadowed by a number of inconveniences which were individually not enough to cause a major problem but together amounted to a less than acceptable standard for this little cottage. Issues included: double bed located under a very low loft ceiling meaning one person needed to leopard crawl into the bed; shower located over a claw foot bath with water escaping at both ends of the bath and creating puddles on the floor that stayed all day - both unpleasant and slippery; sofa with sunken springs; slippery steps to the loft area - my husband slipped 3 times despite being very careful. All in all not good value for money.

La Jolla is a wonderful neighborhood to stay in with fragrant gardens, charming homes & a cool downtown just a short drive from the house. The cottage itself is lovely with wonderful details such as marble countertops, gas stove, washer & dryer & a cozy sitting area. It is ample space for a couple or small family & I would highly recommend as an alternative to a hotel stay.

Reviews for Seaview at The Shores
Sara_H, Portland, Maine says:
"Much-needed relaxation and family fun!"
My husband, daughters, parents and I loved our stay at Seaview! We loved this home and, if it's a good example of other SCVR properties, we would stay at any of them in the future. The staff was quickly responsive, the house was impeccably clean upon arrival, and Heather gave us some great family activity recommendations.
Initially, I was a little nervous about staying in a rental home instead of a hotel or resort for our long awaited San Diego vacation, but I was overwhelmed with what a better experience it was for us than other traditional vacations have been. We had relaxing evenings with cocktails in the comfortable, private, spacious atmosphere after my girls fell asleep during the evenings, the children enjoyed the yard during the times we were preparing our own meals, and the proximity to the beach was perfect.
My husband and I found a couple of great nightlife spots while our folks stayed with the kids, so we had a great mix of perfect family time and rekindled romance.
Our experience puts San Diego at the top of my preferred domestic vacation list!

Every morning before 9 am we would begin our day walking our dogs on the beach to tire them out for the rest of the day allowing us to hit the local shops and upscale boutiques on (a 5 minute drive away).
Location, location, location! The home provided easy access to the beach with a leisurely 2-3 minute stroll, and within walking distance to various romantic dinner restaurants. Kayaking rentals and swimsuit shops were plentiful for adventurous fun during the day. Right off Torrey Pines Rd, it provided great access to Interstate 5 or Junction 52 which gives you an unimpeded entrée to all areas North, South, and East of beautiful San Diego. The Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, within short 10 minute drive at most, let us stock up on great organic food for the week. We definitely recommend staying at this lovely home.

Beautiful home by the sea. Our family had a wonderful stay at the Hacienda. This was a great house for a large group of people - with 7 adults and two young toddlers we had plenty of room to spread out as well as ample dining space. Despite the wet weather(the worst storms in SD in 15 years!) we enjoyed the proximity to the beach for walks and the great playground. There are nice restaurants within walking distance (Piatti Locali was a favourite) and lots to see and do within a short drive. The Hacienda was very comfortable, clean and well appointed.
If you take just a short walk from the Hacienda, Piatti Locali is a fabulous restaurant with delicious food and great service. The outdoor seating area is particularly lovely and great if you have young children. They have a kids menu and drawing supplies for little guests.

The location of this house was very close to the beach. A short walk away was
worth the beautiful shores of La Jolla. The house was very spacious and
accomodating. The outside patio provided a good atmosphere for BBQing.
There was only two issues that I had with this house. The first is the annoying
pipe noise that occurs everytime someone uses the bathroom/turns on the
water. It work me up in the middle of the night. Second, is the detail cleaning
that wasn't mentioned before renting the house. Picking up around the house
is fine, but I didn't realize that scrubbing the grill was part of the deal. Overall,
I enjoyed my stay there with a few nuances.

Wonderful place to make long lasting vacation memories with family. The layout of the home is superb. The ameneties are perfect for those who seek luxury, without ostentatiosnas. The outdoor patio is a vacation destination unto itself, more so when dining under the stars with a chill in the air, while the outdoor heaters are on. And what more could you ask for, having the beach only yards away and hearing the ocean waves hit the shore as you settle down for a wonderful nights sleep. Come here with friends or family and forget the everyday. You will always want to come back. This is what fond memories are made of. Make sure to view the sunset every evening from the second floor room with the Queen size bed....wonderful. Also, make dinner and eat out on the patio with the stars up above...it can't be beat.

Barbara, Phoenix, Arizona and Oslo, Norway says:
We stayed at the Spanish Hacienda for a week in July. We were 8 adult family members and we were delighted with the comfort and spaciousness of the home. It is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is well stocked with just about everything you need to prepare your meals if you feel like cooking. We couldn't resist dining on the lovely outdoor patio, even though there are wonderful restaurants nearby (Piatti being a favorite). You really don't need a car unless you want to see the sights in San Diego or visit wine country in Temecula. The beach is just steps away, and a grocery store, surf shops, and restaurants are all within walking distance. There are also great dining spots in the Village of La Jolla, a short drive from the Hacienda. The house was spotless and the owners gave a lot of thought to small details -- there were even little soaps and guest shampoos provided in the bathrooms. Plenty of beach towels and beach chairs were provided, and there were a couple of bicycles for use as well. When we arrived we had some minor problems with the smoke alarm batteries and outdoor heaters, but the staff got right on it that day and we settled in nicely. They were never able to fix a nonworking TV in the master bedroom, but they tried three times, so we appreciated their effort. If you select this property you won't be disappointed. All of us look forward to staying there again.

Spanish Hacienda was amazing. We stayed there with 2 other families. It is perfect for adults and kids. The kids room was nice, quiet and away from the main area so the adults could relax and have fun in the evenings. We were pleasantly surprised by the ocean views. The living area was large enough to accommodate everyone at once and was still very comfortable. The kitchen was updated and had everything we needed. The place was very clean, walking distance to the beach and a 2 minute drive to shopping and restaurants.
The SCVR staff was very helpful. They set up Zoo and Sea World Trips for us, made dinner reservations and even scheduled a sitter so the adults could enjoy a nice dinner out. The sitter was friendly and we all felt very secure leaving our children in her care.
We would love to stay in Spanish Hacienda again!

Todd N. , Missouri says:
My wife and I stayed at the Dolphin for a week and we would have liked to stay for a month. It was a great house with everything you need for a nice, relaxing stay. Great location, three houses from the beach and broadwalk. We walked every day down to the broadwalk and beach area. There are dozens of restaurants nearby. It's close to everything in San Diego. Beds were comfortable and space for kids too. Very quiet neighborhood. Would recommend for couples and families. Can't wait to go back.

Overall, we had a great stay. There were a couple of minor issues and SoCal's staff were incredibly quick to address. A few quick suggestions for anyone staying there: 1. The stereo is old school boombox style. There isn't anything to dock your IPod to. Plan accordingly. 2. Consider bringing a pillow from home. No issues in terms of cleanliness, but they were pretty soft. 3. Consider RedBox DVD rentals if you are thinking about renting a movie. They are all over the place, cost something like $1 per night. Put 00000 as your zip code if you aren't from the USA. 4. The burgers over at Bare Back grill were really good. 5. The atmosphere over at Miller's Field Bar was a lot of fun, especially during a Texas Longhorns game. 6. Appliances, pots/ pans, etc. were all good if you intend on cooking at home.

My recommendation is to remember to codes for the gates, house, bike, etc. We went to the Padres game, malls and restaurants. However, the most fun was just relaxing out in the beach and drinking coffee in the morning at the park. Hope other visitors have fun + God bless!

Jerry Snyder, Florida/Washington says:
The following comments are from My Father-in-law, who stayed in the apartment.
The reason I couldn't open the condo door is because they gave you the "key" numbers by e mail and not me. You were the principal renter. Perhaps the emails with check in information could go to all names on the contract.
As far as comments about the unit are concerned, the condo was very clean and updated. The things that could be improved were;
In the kitchen there were no microwaveable bowls. They have plastic bowls which cannot be used in the microwave oven.The toaster was "toasted". The frying pans were old and scratched. They probably would be better to provide stainless steel pans or new "stick free" pans.
As you know, the 4 burner gas grill was grungy and should be cleaned, As a result, it was hard to light and one burner was out. The grill needs maintenance.
The walkway from Law St to the alley on the West side of the building is not lighted and difficult to walk the narrow path at night. This could be a safety and potential liability issue. Also the 2 gates on the alley stick and are hard to open. They should be adjusted and cleaned.
The front door exterior light was out. I reinstalled the bulb that was in the bush.
Overall it was a good experience but some attention is needed as stated above.
Thank you.

CDolen, Canada says:
We rented this unit for two weeks in March with our three children, ages 1, 3, and 5. We could not be happier - this unit was perfect for us! The location was unbelievable; in a nice, quiet neighborhood, steps away from any amenities you can think of and a bike ride away from Sea World. It's also literally 3 houses from the beach - it doesn't get any better! The laundry facilities were handy, and when we plugged the garbage disposal one evening, a plumber was there the next morning to clear it out for us. We loved every minute of our holiday and can't wait to go back again!

We especially made use of the patio where you could see the water and see everyone enjoying their day. We wish we lived there at the Dolphin!

It was private and quiet. We look forward to staying there again

Reviews for Pelican Ocean Views
Mike, Great Falls Montana says:
Spring break on the beach. This was the most amazing trip. Everything I intended to do was close to the house and the view of the ocean was magnificant. There was plenty of room for everyone plus 10. Bikes and water equipment were already at the house so there was no rentals. I give this a 5 star rating and am waiting for next years trip.

It was also a great place for our bride and her bridesmaids to get ready and have photos taken.
This home is a family vacation home and I can see why the family enjoys it and wants to share it. We would love to come back again when we really can just relax and enjoy the scenery! Thanks so much! Kim & Steve.

Brett B, Columbus, OH says:
The house was beautiful, sitting on cliff overlooking ocean. On low tide you could see a huge expanse of bright green, moss covered rocks. La Jolla is a great location to rent, with lots of shops and a quieter atmosphere. The only downside we had at all was the proximity to the beach. If you want to get there any way besides a car be prepared to bike down to the end of the street, wall down the cliff stairs, and go another couple hundred yards over rocks on the shore to hit any sand at all. But even that wasn't too bad, as there are plenty of good beaches around town.

Melinda at Better Vacation Rentals, San Diego, UT, CO, MA, AL says:
As a vacation rental property manager, I've seen a lot of vacation homes. Besides the location, the most important thing to me is that the place is clean and as advertised. SCVR hits the mark spot on. Veronica & Heather were able to accommodate us at the last minute for a place for my family from out of town who came in for a celebration of my mom's life. They were able to answer my questions and accommodate my special requests. This La Jolla vacation rental has a magnificent outdoor patio and entertaining area unparalled in the area. The home slept 8 comfortably and we never felt crowded even when all of us were there for food and reminiscing. The neighborhood is secure, quiet, and private without the unwelcome feeling some areas have. The only issue at all is that La Jolla is a pain to get to, so once you get there you won't want to leave.
Tips: We used the following companies for our celebration of life:
Sail Jada Yacht Charters Harbor Island (Brad) - scattering of ashes at sea via sail
Mona Lisa Catering San Diego (Chuck) - Italian dinner and desert catering at the vacation rental
Jitters/Perfect Bite Catering from Oceanside, CA (Vallie) - Celebration brunch catering at the vacation rental

Richard & Gail , Pennsylvania says:
Dealing with everyone at Southern Cal Vacation Rentals was very easy. Any questions I had were answered quickly and to satisfaction. We enjoy the area and visiting with family.
This year we had a baby grandson to visit, along with daughter & son-in-law. This home was equipped with a high chair & packNplay which we used. This particular home had a wonderful view. Though I must say the beds were uncomfortable and as hard as the rocks outside. Cleaning was so so, surfaces were clean... it's those high up and out of the way places that needed a bit of attention.
Location was great, views & neighborhood all fives!
I would recommend to a friend if the mattresses were changed to more comfortable.
We will definitely be coming to the area next holiday season. Will probably be looking for another home to rent.
Again... thank you to the staff at SCVR, you are to be complemented on your easy to deal with approach.
The BEST to you all in the new year 2013!
Thanks! Richard, Gail & Mark Along with Dawn, Jon & baby Cooper.

La Jolla lover, Davis, CA says:
Wonderful location! Exactly 1.5 miles between La Jolla and Ocean Front Walk. Beautiful ocean view. Listened to the ocean sounds every night. The property was very clean, and the kitchen had every utensil and pots and pans that you could use. We didn't use the bbq or bikes, but they were available. The only downside of the home were the mattresses were not comfortable - hard as bricks. And, there was only spices available, no other condiments like cooking oil, mustard, ketchup, so if one were to cook there, you would have to either buy all those things or bring them with you. Recommendation: get new mattresses. Also, although it does have wifi, it is spotty at the home at best. Had much more reception when downtown.

Kitchen is well supplied. Loved this home and it's privacy.

Reviews for Heart of the Village
S, Vancouver says:
We had a number of issues with this place. Lights not working. Bathtub not plugging. No BBQ tools. Fan had no cover. We had to ask for the 2 house keys we were suppose to have been provided because we only got 1. The freezer and fridge leaked! The 2-car parking garage was full of stuff making it very tight to squeeze 2 cars in. The beds were too soft/sunken. The SCVR staff was helpful when we could get a hold of them during business hours, and helped get some things sorted out, but wasn't able to get it all sorted. The only thing really going for this place is the location. It is in the heart of La Jolla village, so that was great. But otherwise, so-so.

cape cod guest, Cape Cod, Massachusetts says:
We were a little pessimistic about the property after reading some of the customer comments. This condo/townhouse was very comfortable and made our stay in LaJolla pleasantly memorable. Beds were very comfortable. Linens/towels were plush and plentiful. Walking distance (very close) to the village. The house was hot (we were in an unusual heat wave) the two bedroom window air conditioners made the sleeping in those rooms fantastic. To make this short and sweet - if/when we go back to LaJolla, this will be our first house/choice to stay in.

I write this review with mixed feelings. We loved our trip to LaJolla and loved the location of this home. We walked EVERYWHERE. the grocery store, farmers market, shops and restaurants. The beach and was a block away and I walked every morning along the coast and loved its breathtaking views.
Now back to the house. The house needs a renovation, it is very tired. The living room furniture is stained as are the carpets covering the upstairs. There was so much dust on the blinds and ac units that our eyes itched. Knobs were missing from dressers, paint was chipped on the walls and doors. The master bedroom bed needed to be replaced. I will say the towels and sheets were very clean and pristine. The kitchen was clean and fine for our needs. The staff was great about replacing a broken bike which was a nice addition as we used them often. All in all I would stay there again if the owner made some much needed updates because the location was so perfect.

Reviews for Birdrock Beach Home
Karyn, Orlando, FL says:
I travel a lot for my work and I didn't want to stay in another hotel when I went on my vacation. Southern California Vacation Rentals had so many beautiful properties to choose from. My husband and I decided on the Birdrock Beach Home. It was perfect. Walking distance to the beach (beach towels, chairs, coolers, etc included with the rental which was very convenient) Easy parking. Beautifully and comfortably furnished. Also walking distance to cute shops and great restaurants, although we loved grilling our dinner and having cocktails while watching the sun set on the magnificent deck. Heather and her staff at Southern California Vacation Rentals couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. It was a fantastic vacation. We will definitely rent from them again.

Especially liked the outside terrace with its amazing view of the beach. Only issue we had is the bedroom has a sunroof and it got very hot. However, the staff were very helpful in getting us a portable AC.

We had a wonderful time. The view from the deck was spectacular. We loved how quite the neighbors were. What we found in the Birdrock home was "exactly" what we were looking for. My family would definitely stay there again.

Kristin, South Carolina says:
we got to relax in the comfort of this home. I am usually a bed snob (but have started to become embarrassed to travel with my own pillow) but everything about the master bedroom screamed comfort. Starting with the crisp linens, perfect down comforter and ending with a mountain of pillows to choose from made my favorite part about this trip the naps and late mornings. In the south we are known for our Southern Hospitality, however, I have to extend this reputation to the staff at SCVR. How unexpected to receive a voicemail upon landing that my house was available and ready for my arrival. I hope my travels bring me back to San Diego!!

Jean-Pierre Jette, Candiac, Quebec says:
We were delighted with the condition of the home. Everthing was satisfactory, with no umpleasant suprises. Nice decoration easy to maintain. Accessories for the beach were of good quality. We wer satisfied. however with air conditioning, it would have been better, especially since we had to sleep with open windows and there was noise in the morning. So Cal was helpful with questions about food. Their advice and discounted tickets to the Zoo were appreciated.

The house was clean and the cleaning staff kindly let us set our bags inside when we arrived from the airport. We walked to starbucks for a coffee till check -in time. Thanks. Wonderful location! Great ocean View! The kitchen was well stocked. Except for glasses with 5 of us we were running out of them. Garbage disposal doesn't work. Dishwasher top drawer is stiff. The pullout bed needs to be replaced. The lovely pots and plants on the decks and walkways were a real treat- lots of hummingbirds!

Susan Hughes, Bow NH says:
The house was in excellent condition when we arrived. The house was exactly as I imagined it from the photos on the website. Loved the location more than we could have imagined. Truly felt like a vacation home with the amazing views. We had 5 adults staying here for almost a full week. Extra sheets, towels would have been a big plus especialy since the home does not come with laundry detergent. The beach bicycles were such a huge plus. Our teenage sons loved them and the independence they had with them. The boogie boards, cooler, etc, beach chairs were a terrific plus as we treked here from New Hampshire and coulden't have brought any of these.

Joe Chambers, Omaha, Ne says:
We weren't sure what we were getting into with the Birdrock Beach House but once we were there our concerns vanished when we explored this cool house on the hill. It's not on the water but you can sure see a lot of ocean from the back deck. The house was clean and well equiped and we especially enjoyed the extra large LCD TV's. The location is great and close to all of the action from Mission Beach to La Jolla Cove. Eating at Oscar's on Turqouise St., across from Albertson's, is mandatory for awesome fresh tacos and they are cheap, too.

With all the beautiful places to go in La Jolla how could are stay go wrong.
Breakfast on the deck each morning was as good as it gets.
Cocktails at sunset looking over the ocean was incredible.
We wished the sun would never set and the colorful sky lasted forever.
Our morning walks to the beach was easy and close.
I only wished we had more time to stay

Brian, Boulder says:
My fiancé and I stayed here for a mini vacation and were very pleased with the property. It had everything you might expect to have at the house if it were your own. Many well cared for plants and succulents. We like to cook and the kitchen was fully stocked. There were even some spices. The pans were a little warped however which made cooking on the ceramic range less than ideal but we managed ok. There were books in the bookshelf, DVDs, music CDs, beach towels, candles, and even a margarita machine. The view was spectacular and the property is close to la jolla and pb.

Reviews for Marthas Vineyard
Jaclyn
The Perfect Getaway!"
Warm and cozy- Martha's Vineyard really reminded me of my childhood home. Spacious and so clean, it was the perfect size for a group of friends looking to get away for the week. We love to cook and the kitchen was the perfect size for all of us. We ate all our meals on the huge deck overlooking beautiful La Jolla. We lounged all day on the deck or the beach down the street, and the large sitting room was nice and quiet for when we needed to get out of the sun. Had to work on the trip and there was wireless internet that I could access with my laptop. Everything we needed for the beach was already at the house, plus we had a blast riding the provided bikes everywhere. It was located so close to the main street in La Jolla but we still felt like we had some privacy. Loved every minute of our trip, and checking out was so easy. I am definitely coming back to this house as soon as I can!

This well appointed home served as a wonderful retreat for my husband, his parents from the UK and our 16 month old son. From al fresco dining to walking to the tasty shops in the village to easy access to all the san diego attractions, we knew we had picked the right vacation home. This was our first home rental and we were beyond pleased. Thanks southern California vacation rentals for taking the stress out of vacation planning, organizing our lil guy's crib and giving us the foundation for wonderful memories as a family! I'm still dreaming of our time at Martha's Vineyard and can't wait to return.

David B., Oregon says:
SoCal Vacation Rentals and Martha's Vineyard was the perfect combination for a great Holiday Vacation. Two Adults and two children had plenty of space and comfort in this nicely appointed home. Centrally located to all the family attractions: Legoland, Zoo, Safari Park, Harbor, Aquarium, and Beach. A note to those who want to frequent the Zoo and Safari Park; it is less expensive to buy an annual membership as we did by using the Martha's Vineyard address as only locals are allowed membership. Plenty of great places to eat close-by (Cottage for breakfast, and Karl Strauss for dinner were our favorites).

Reviews for Ocean Breeze
TGPlunkett, Phoenix, AZ. says:
Beautiful Location - amazing Service!!
We've used several vacation rental services to visit San Diego's beaches, and we've never experienced anything like the personal services from Southern California Vacation Rentals!! Ocean Breeze was increadibly clean, inviting, and relaxing. And the end to end service we recieved from Heather and her crew was better than anything we've ever experienced. Never have we experienced a company that under promises and over delivers! Thank you Heather and Southern California Vacation Rentals! We've already booked next year's vacation! See you next June! - Tom and Gail, Phoenix, AZ.

We enjoyed this spacious comfortable home. It was a wonderful place to receive guests, with plenty of indoor and outdoor eating areas. The kitchen could use an island/divider as it is a bit too open to the living room and dining room, but it wasn't a big deal. We requested, and the owners ordered new window treatments, but they never arrived during our 3 month stay so we had to hang extra material to cover the breezy, yet transparent, curtains in the bedroom. We loved walking to Calumet Park for sunrises and sunsets. The staff at SoCal vacation rentals were courteous and prompt with assistance.

Jean and George, La Jolla - Bird Rock says:

K. Henley, Mississippi says:
Ocean Breeze is a charming property. It was built in the early 60's and sits in the 2nd row of houses from the beach. There is an ocean view from the living room. If direct beach access is important for you, this is not your property, BUT, we loved the house for it's ocean view (from the living room) AND there is a small green space (grassy area with benches) just steps from the property's front door. We walked down there and enjoyed the sunset every night--ocean front, but no beach access. It was quiet and a great place to enjoy the ocean! The property has no AC but we were very comfortable. We loved the small patio and the family enjoyed the ping pong table. I suggest a few extra chairs for the family room to allow extra seating when a large groups wants to gather in that room. The landscape of the entire property was lovely' 8)

Candice Castro, Chandler, Az says:
Ocean Breeze property was centrally located for all our needs. We wanted the quietness and beauty of La Jolla, with easy access to Sea World, downtown and restaurants. We enjoy strolling Mission Beach's boardwalk, but don't feel like it is very family friendly. Our only complaint is that the nearest La Jolla beach is about a 10 minute drive north, or Mission beach that is a 5 minute drive south. We assumed since it had ocean views, walking to the sandy beach would be easy. But since the house is on a cliff, there was no easy access. With this being our first time using SCVR we were not sure of the check in process. When we arrived we were baffled as to how to enter the property. Luckily within minutes we were able to get a hold of someone who walked us through the keypad and checkin. Apparently there was an email sent to us that explained everything, which I never received. Had I been told to await that email, I would have known before the trip to contact the company to let them know I never received it. As for the house itself, it was clean and equipped with everything to entertain our family. We loved using the bikes to get coffee at Starbucks up the street in the morning, and the kids loved the ping pong table. We would definetely recommend the house to others.

The property was clean and well maintained; however when we first arrived the house had a bad odor.

Not a problem, just thought you would want to know.

Reviews for The Whale
Golfer, timbucktooo says:
You might warn renters about the parking ticket patrol that comes by on a daily basis. Since you cannot park a vehicle in the garage due to the beach items and bikes, if you have a full size car or SUV as we did your vehicle will stick out into the side walk area. That was a $40 ticket. Also if a very nice neighbor had not left a note on the front gate about the street cleaning services I would have received another ticket as well. I don't blame the management, I could have also read the signs, but a note in the home would have been nice too.

The view from the unit is unmatched -- and the outdoor spaces were wonderful. Amenities included (bikes especially) were very appreciated.
We did have a bit of trouble with the grill - both lighting it and with the grates. As we cooked several meals in, we could have used a few more pots and pans. We were fully prepared to clean the unit, and would have done so more fully if there were cleaning supplies (especially for the bathroom).
Overall, the rental was all we hoped for though, and we thank you. Next year, could you just make it WARM!!!??? For two years in a row when we have visited, we froze! Guess we Coloradans are just wimps when it comes to Cali weather!!

JPurdon, Phoenix says:
This condo is literally one block from the beach and has a fantastic view of the ocean from its Westward facing second story balcony. Upon arrival (after a 6 hour drive) I opened the garage to find the bikes in the way of me parking my car. First of all, it's a tiny garage. My Volvo S60 barely fit.
Then the bikes, chairs, boogey boards, and beach toys are stored in there. I had to rearrange the bikes before I could do anything else. This meant lifting them up onto the ledge, putting them overlapping one another, and getting battered and bruised in the process. Not a good start. After finally parking and making it up the stairs with my first load of stuff I was greeted by the Welcome mat. The old, tattered, worn, ugly welcome mat. Not very welcoming. Really? Spend 10 bucks and buy a new one. There are no keys needed to enter the condo, just a numerical code to plug into the door. This is really convenient, but I worried that they didn't change the code between guests. It was 2468. Now they'll have to change it! The condo is decorated nicely with a big comfy couch and chair in the living room along with a nice big flat screen TV that gets a zillion channels. The kitchen is well stocked, has granite countertops, a great big cold refrigerator, and Margarittaville blender. The only thing I found it to be lacking were wine glasses. There are ceiling fans in every room which is wonderful because there is no A/C in the unit. Unfortunately it was really hot when we were there and we really needed the fans. The bathroom is small but sufficient and includes a blow dryer, small shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. The 2 bedrooms are pretty similar except one has a TV and cable box (which didn't work) and alarm clock, and the other has 2 closets with plenty of hangars. Both rooms have Sleep Number beds which we found to be horribly uncomfortable. Mattresses are a personal preference, so hopefully someone actually likes them. There are 2 windows in the unit that have lost the seal between panes and are clouded over.
Unfortunately, one is in the living room so it obscures part of the lovely ocean view. Outside there is a BBQ grill that we didn't use and 2 chairs along a granite countertop for ocean viewing. That was the best part of the condo! Downstairs was a laundry room shared by the 4 units, but the washing machine broke on day 4, so we couldn't use it. The walk to the beach is down a steep hill, so I got great exercise schlepping stuff to/from the beach, but some people might not like that. The condo is walking distance to tons of restaurants and bars--try JRDN, Duck Dive, PB Alehouse to name a few. I've pointed out a lot of little things that need to be improved, but all in all I would return here again if only for the view and the location.

J.R.Richardson, Lincoln, Nebraska says:
Nice place with great view of the Pacific. Close to the beach and small park at the end of the street. Easy walk by the ocean to many bars and restaurants. Since the condo was right on the edge of PB, it was pretty quiet at night.

Elizabeth, Austin, TX says:
Delighted. We have been here before, lovely view, light and airy, great location. Everything in the kitchen is excellent. Very impressed with quality, newness, and abundance. The fan in the bathroom was rattly and loud, needs fixing. Great concierge- Erika! Beach towels were nice, bathroom supplies were nice, and kitchen supplies were good. Second time stay but it won't be our last!

Great location, very comfortable and very clean. NOTE: Would prefer not to have to wait for dishwasher to finish before leaving. Seems preferable for staff to do dishwasher, so I would be sure it was run and clean before being put away.

Brise Carpenter, Bend, Oregon says:
Wow, talk about value, who knew you could get such a great place with a ocean-view-roof-top-bar! The whale is perfect in almost every way. Close to everything in San Diego County, a stone’s throw away from the beach, comforts of home including a full kitchen with margarita maker, comfortable living room with fireplace and TV. Best of all, when you stay here you never have to miss a beautiful Southern California sunset, I mean how could you, with the awesome roof-top-bar and panoramic-view seating? I traveled by myself but can see how this would be a perfect spot for family get-togethers or company retreats since the Whale connects to several other separate properties. Thanks so much SCVR team, you always go above and beyond when I stay with you. They even had cold beer waiting in the fridge, talk about personal service. Great experience + great property = I’ll be back!

Kenneth, Canada says:
You really can see and hear the ocean from the balcony! The Whale was very clean and well equipped. The SoCalVacation staff were excellent, so responsive and helpful. The location is very close to the beach and the walkway, and also to many very good restaurants. The supplied bikes were a joy to use, including the bike locks. We were fortunate to be able to stay at the Whale for a month, and were so sorry to leave as we enjoyed it so much.

Cristina, United States says:
We had simply the best time staying at the Whale. The condo was clean, quiet, and centrally located to many fun places. This was a vacation for my surfer girls (one learner & one surf team member). So, the ability to walk to the beach for morning and afternoon sessions was perfect. We loved riding bikes to the arcade for some mid-day fun. I loved being able to pack super light and have a washer/dryer right in the complex. And because we could cook in the condo, not one beach moment was wasted going out to eat. We will definitely return!

House was more spacious than we expected. Great location- we walked to the beach and restaurants. Nice to be close to everything, but in a quiet spot. View is better than we expected. Great to have on-site laundry! Extra blankets would have been nice. Kitchen was well- stocked. The parking issue was described, however on vacation we're not thinking of days of the week- planned to move the car Mon. night, but of course should have moved it Sun. night. Could you put a laminated note on the front door, or fridge, "Sunday night: Move car for street sweeper & put out trash"? Your company was very responsive to calls and emails.

Great to have a garage with lots of beach equipment, bikes etc too. Will definitely recommend this property.

Reviews for La Jolla Mar
Julie, NYC says:
Great choice in La Jolla. The home is conveniently located in La Jolla, and it's easy to walk to downtown and services like groceries. Even an early morning stroll to Starbucks was a pleasure. We liked the location because of the many restaurants and easy access to what we wanted to see. Parking on the street can be challenging, but there is a garage-- though the remote opener did not work during our stay. We had to get out of the car and push the button, a minor inconvenience. The closets are very generous, and the bathrooms, pleasant and up-to-date. A carpet in the master bedroom would have been nice though.

The Curry Family, Indiana says:
We absolutely loved staying at this spacious and cozy place. We were there with one other couple but could have easily fit more people very comfortably! This home is located within a few block walking distance to all the wonderful shops and restaurants LaJolla has to offer. I loved all the variety and quality of all the non-chain shops and restaurants! The guys came with golf on their mind and Torrey Pines Golf Course was within a 15-20 minute easy drive. We were also within a few blocks of the ocean and the Modern Art Museum. The home had almost everything we needed during our entire stay. We used the fireplace off the patio nightly and it warmed the entire room in only a few minutes. We were there in March and the temps really drop in the evening so plan for that when you pack! The kitchen has everything a person could need to prepare a meal. We grilled salmon one evening on the outdoor grill which worked perfectly (once we called to find out where the gas valve was). There are some spices and oils but you might want to plan ahead and be sure you get what you need for your particular meal when you go by the grocery store. There was plenty of cookware, dishes, glassware, and utensils. There is a really neat Margarita blender (and recipe) on the counter which I now wish we would have tried, a large sized coffee maker, and a built-in microwave above the oven....just to name a couple of small appliances. It was nice to have the full sized washer and dryer upstairs in the hall....just be sure to pick up your laundry detergent on your grocery trip. If we go back to that area, I already know where we'll stay....this house is it! Most importantly, Southern California Vacation Rentals did a SUPER job from the time we signed the lease through the departure. They were there for any and all questions we had and even made a special trip out to show us how to light the fireplace. The sweet girl even came out prepared to vacuum it out because my husband had told her he thought that was why we couldn't light it. We got a real chuckle when she lit the fireplace in about one second and told me what my husband said....too funny! Anyways, that is the perfect example of how helpful and friendly this company was! And, she had the best and biggest smile on her face and made us feel as if we truly were her priority even though phone instructions would have sufficed! I wish I could remember her name....A big "thanks" to her...those personal touches are appreciated!

Dahni Tsuboi, South Pasadena, CA says:
The house was very clean. You should thank your staff and please let them know! House and location satisfactory. The furniture/amenities/supplies... everything was great! It was nice to be able to walk to the ocean, as well as to nice resturaunts, shopping, etc. And house was perfect combination of comfortable and almost luxurious! Really can't complain, but maybe replace the kitchen trash can. Everything was wonderful. We also want to compliment So Cal Vacation Rentals. Bonna and all the staff we dealt with were incredibly professional and responsive! Just make it available for us to rent next time.

Doug, Victoria, Canada says:
We stayed for a month Nov/Dec 2012 in this lovely home. In the property description it says you will feel at home the moment you enter and that is totally true. In fact the property details tell you exactly what you will get. It is completely as advertised. The kitchen was the best equipped of any rental we've ever had. The best part was everything was new or nearly new and so much better quality than your standard vacation rentals. It was so well equipped i was able to make Thanksgiving dinner. Everything I needed was right there. There's a lovely and very private courtyard off the family room. We loved the location as well. It's on a quiet street but everything is an easy walk. Von's Jonathon's Market and BevMo are 3 to 4 blocks away. We started everyday with a leisurely stroll to the beach walkway or to the downtown village. There are so many good restaurants within walking distance as well. We rented a car but only used it to go into San Diego. Everything about this home was extremely comfortable and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return in a heartbeat. Truly a great find and a real Home away from Home. I almost didn't do this review as I don't want too many people to find La Jolla Mar and ruin it before we can return...

We had a great stay- we will need to come back as it was too short.

Great Beach House in Pacific Beach"
We got to the beach house after 2 weeks of intense partying and travel around LA and Vegas, and this was just what we needed, a great clean tidy place that had a home feel to it, everything you need is there, we were able to walk to the beach the shops enjoy the sites and come back to a place with all the comforts you need TV great furniture clean comfortable beds.
Pacific Beach as a whole was great and this beach house was in a great location.
I hope to visit again someday.. I love PB!

Sarah Lewis, Northern California says:
My only "constructive criticism" would be to store the bikes and charis in the garage overhead on some sort of rack. There is BARELY enough room in that garage for all that stuff and a car. I damaged my bumper trying to park in there. Parking wasn't really necessary for the winter, but in the summer I am sure it is.

Vicki Raven, Phoenix says:
We thouroughly enjoyed our stay. The unit and property was everything it was advertised to be. Our only suggestion is to provide some maintenance to the bikes that were made available in the garage. All had low tires and required minor repairs. One of the highlights of our trip was taking a bike ride on the boardwalk each morning. Being from Arizona this is something we don't get to experience too often. The staff was wonderful; we accidently locked ourselves out on the day of our arrival. We had gone for a walk and taken all the codes except the door code. Upon our return after business hours, we were in somewhat of a panic once we determined we didn't have the right code. We placed an emergency call and was responded to within minutes. The rest of our stay went without a hitch. This was a girls weekend; we're talking about making this an annual event and will be staying at the property again.

The SCVR staff were very helpful, friendly and responsive. I felt very safe in the Marlin and the surrounding location. The cottage was very clean. I might suggests a little more spot cleaning on the carpet in the living room area. The keyless entries were easy to use. I appreciated having an enclosed garage. It took some skill to maneuver the car as I enterred and departed. It is important to assure that the dividing wire between garages is secured properly in order to avoid any snags. All in all the location, facility, etc. were very accommodating.

We had a delightful Thanksgiving holiday at the Marlin. It was nice to come "home" after taking in a full day of San Diego's activities.

However, our overall experience was great.

We had a great trip, the home was very clean, very quiet, and the staff super helpful! They had a bike & a boogie board for each of us -which was fabulous! Loved being able to take the whole family riding. The garage is VERY tight...with the bikes, there was no way our toyota van would fit. Lucky for us, parking on the street in front was easy -in the "peak" months it may be difficult to find a spot. overall it was a perfect way to start the summer!

This was a great place, across the street from the beach, very clean, fully stocked kitchen and we were pleasantly surprized to find beach towels, beach chairs, bicylcles and boogie boards in very good condition as part of the rental.

Chuck and barb Matzker, Colorado Springs, CO says:
The Marlin is about a block from the beach - a great location. It was clean, and the photos were accurate. My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights.
The plusses - great location, roomy, clean. Good kitchen facilities. Garage. bikes and boogie boards in garage - caring rental agents. Families in the other units, not party goers. We could hear the ocean at night.
The minuses - no air conditioning (San Diego was having a very hot spell at the time of our visit, but the ceiling fans helped a lot). Getting into the garage was a challenge - recommend entering the alley from Mission Blvd and turning right into the garage. There was no real kitchen table - just a high table in small quarters. Kitchen was spartan as far as being stocked with any spices, coffee, napkins, oil, plastic wrap, etc. Only salt and pepper - we are used to our condos in Keystone CO where there is an abundance of food preparation items left by previous guests.
All in all, this is a nice place, simple and livable, especially for a family.

Had a great visit down to San Diego for my 30th birthday with 8 friends. We rented The Shark and The Marlin, and had an excellent time. A block away from the beach, a ten minute walk away from the action. The location was excellent.

Reviews for Salt Water
Colorado Family , Colorado says:
Cute House - We really enjoyed our stay!"
We stayed at Salt Water in February of 2010 with our two young boys (ages 3 and almost 5). The house was great and works well for a family (i.e., 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plenty of space for everyone, laundry room, nice kitchen, TV's with DVD players, etc.). Our boys really liked the rooms with two bunk beds. The inner court year with BBQ was also nice.
The house is well located near the La Jolla Shores beach and other local beaches. It is short driving distances to grocery stores like Whole Foods.
We would definitely stay at Salt Water again in the future.

Some light bulbs were out. A key lighting problem was the front yard area. We almost had a bad fall because we couldn't see the sidewalk near the front door. Also, the front door lock mechanism needs alot of work. Very difficult to operate and not a normal mechanism found today. The front gate would not lock either, so leaving belongings like bikes or allowing small children out there would be a poor decision. Would still rent the property in the future. Fix the locks, improve the lighting and you have a winning property.Mark

Nice house, very clean and well kept. The location was great for us - we had 3 teens with us and we had no problem letting them get on the bikes and go wherever they wanted; and they had a great time, especially building a fire on the beach at night. The beach is a short walk and an even shorter bike ride. It was also great to have beach towels, chairs, etc. Only suggestions would be to leave light for guests arriving at night, replace the front door lock (had a hard time with it), and keep things like sugar, coffee, olive oil, etc. better stocked. Overall a nice place to stay - helped make our vacation great! We felt at home and even got to hand out Halloween candy.

This was the perfect home for our vacation. We had three generations sharing the home and everyone raved about it. It had all the ammenities for a baby plus yard space with a teeter-totter for the older child. We also loved that we could walk to restaurants and the beach. The only downside was that we could not keep the drain water tight in one of the bathtubs, a really minor inconvenience. We definitely hope to return to the area and rent this home again.

More importantly, the children's teeter-totter, which because it was there, the children constantly wanted to use. It would be better just to remove it.

The house was very clean when we arrived. The house was great -very spacious with plenty of areas for different groups (grankids, parents, and grandparents) to be doing their own thing inside and outside. Close to the perfect beach for kids (an easy walk). Our 4,9,and 11 year olds loved staying here. It is an ideal house and location for familys with children. We took surf lessons and stand up and paddle from Surf Divas. Both were good. Kids loved playing with games/toys(hula-hoops!) at the house. We needed more oven metts/pot holders. It would be good to have a few more cutting boards too. The internet went down two days before we left. Otherwise very well appointed. A list of a few suggested restaurants in walking distance for the first day here so that there are a few places to know about before vacationers get there bearings.

Reviews for Sand Patch Two
Amy Stevens, New York says:
This patch is ideal for two adults traveling with two children (as we were), who want a comfortable retreat after days spent outside. The layout is excellent, making the space feel much larger than it actually is. We found the house to be in near-pristine condition, clean and well maintained. The location is unbeatable. It's cleverly separated from the other patch, and very quiet (though one night we were slightly troubled by noise from a party next door). I'd recommend it highly.

MR from Canada, Calgary Canada says:
We stayed in Sand Patch 2 November 2010. The location is fantastic, only a block from the one of the best beaches in La Jolla. All the amenities you would need are only 2 blocks from the house and the villiage is only a 5 minute drive. The place was very clean, updated and had a lot of space for what we needed (2 adults and 2 young children). My only criticisms would be that the street was a little busy/noisy (we closed the windows the second night and it wasn’t an issue)… and the beds were a little uncomfortable… I would recommend this to anyone looking to stay in La Jolla and we will be back."

This is the perfect winter getaway to escape the cold and snow. Renting a home is ideal for families with small children. Eating every meal out is not an option when you have little kids. The layout of the home provides enough space for parents to relax while the kids play.

jpphsimpson, New Jersey says:
Everything was as it should be when renting a place to spend a vacation with friends or family. Check in was simple and easy, the house was immaculate and true to the photos in the advert. We have 2 yr old twins and I am extremely fussy about where we stay; if we were going to go back to this area we would stay here, no question. The location is great for walks to downtown la jolla shores where there are some quaint little shops and restaurants. A very short drive to La Jolla and all the attractions the area has to offer are very close. We had a small issue with the heating cutting out but not only did the owners and Southern Californian Rentals respond immediately they went out or their way and insisted on paying for some take out food for us. Altogether a very pleasant trip. Kitchen was well stocked and amenities were great.

We were very pleased with our stay at Sand Patch 2. The location was ideal. Only two blocks away from the beach and park. A short drive (3 minutes) to the village and a short walk to a street with businesses such as a market, Starbucks, ice cream shop and many restaurants. We also visited the San Diego Zoo and Sea World and the drives to both were very reasonable (15-20) minutes. I cannot stress what a great location Sand Patch 2 is in. We have two little girls and the house worked very will for us. Grandma and Grandpa visited for three of our nights there and the home could accommodate all of us, but with one bathroom it did get a bit tight. The house came with all the kitchen items you would need. It also came with a bunch of large beach towels and a hair dryer. The sand toys, wagon, bikes, grill lawn chairs were great. The additional floor fan, pack-n-play and highchair were great too.....with no additional charge.. The converted room that was once the garage is pretty basic, but would work for a sleeping area for an older child or adult. I didn't feel comfortable with either of my children in this space. There are three doors in and out of the house. One is the front door, one is the back door which is located in the room with the two twin beds and one is another back door which is in the laundry area which is in the back of the converted room. I didn't like that there were so many points of entry especially in sleeping areas, but it ended up being just fine. The staff was very helpful as well. Check out time is 10am, but if you request you can check out at noon with no additional cost. We will be back!

Marti, Washington says:
Sand Patch is a great little place and convenient to the beach. An easy 2-block walk with an 18 month old and 3 other children in tow. The beach is beautiful and the park was a great transition when trying to get the kids to leave the beach. If you have young children the gate around the property is secure so little ones can't get out. We had everything we needed and used everything, including the sand toys, wet suit and boogie boards. We did have to rearrange a few drawers for safety issues with the little guy as there are no safety locks on them.... Overall it was a fantastic stay and I'm already planning my next trip.

Andrea Tumialan, Phoenix says:
We really enjoyed how close the house was to the beach. The street is a little noisy during the peak season. And the 3rd bedroom is a converted garage. We ended up not using that room for our toddler and instead opted for the pack n play option in our room. However, the 2nd bedroom with twin beds worked out perfectly for our 2 boys. This is the perfect house for a family of 4. We would love to come back, but might out grow the house before our next return. Also, we loved the very private yard and how secure we felt with the kids playing in the yard.

Aaron Keil, Washington D.C. says:
We are originally from San Diego, living now in D.C. Sand Patch II was awesome! We have two young children, had a couple of get togethers with other young families (and lots of kids) which worked out just fine. Plenty of room. Fended in yard was perfet. and you can walk to one of the most popular beaches on the west coast in less than 10 minutes. all in all, our experience at Sand Patch II was fabulous.
I would highlight, some of the pictures on the website are for Sand Patch I (there are no french doors in the master bedroon in Sand Patch II.) but the property is still amazing.

guest, northern california says:
Decent location, decent house, however the "3rd room" is in the garage that has been split into two bedrooms. So our unit and the unit next to us share a thin wall and you can hear everything that is going on in the room next to you and you dont even know them. There is no ventilation and to top it all off each "room" in the garage has a washer and dryer in it so it gets so hot and muggy in there, did i mention there are NO WINDOWS, no ventilation! Not the best if you or your kids intend to have a afternoon nap in your own bedroom. LOUD, Hot, Muggy!!!

The house was very clean! The House was even nicer and more private than we expected. The wrap-around yard was great for our kids. Location was perfect! We would love to stay here again. The kitchen was well-stocked and we liked the generous supply of towels! We could have used a few more hangers-cheap plastic ones are fine. The most important things we missed were enough boogie boards- we had to buy two, which we gave to friends that live here when we were done, and a good sturdy beach umbrella, the kind that screws into the sand. Not really feasible to purchase and obviously we cant bring one ourselves. We think its not unreasonable to expect these things at an expensive beach house.

The house was absolutely clean. It was terrific how close the house was to the beach as well as restaurants in La Jolla Shores as well as proximity to La Jolla. The Knives could have been sharper! It was great to have access to beach chairs and boogie boards!! We understand it was unseasonably warm this week. Could you figure out how to improve air flow to keep things cooler, especially at night?
Our stay was great the house was ready early -wished we would have planned better to have gotten in earlier to enjoy it.

Lawn people came during our stay and we had to keep our little ones inside while they were working, plus the sprinklers came on -we understand theres never a good time for this though!

From the booking process to the check out, SoCal Vacation Rentals made our Fall Break experience very smooth and enjoyable. The house was two blocks away from the beach and the neighborhood shops and restaurants. It's a three minute drive to Prospect Street. The house has plenty of room and the backyard with it's grass and chairs, etc. is perfect for the kids when we were back from the beach. Just a truly great home for a vacation getaway.

Lindsey, Colorado says:
Sand Patch Two was a wonderful place to stay and perfect for a toddler! The place is all one level and has a fenced in yard where he could run free. There were also beach toys and a wagon that we took the 2.5 easy blocks to the beach every day. Also close walking distance to restaurants and a coffee shop. We also rented a bike trailer through SCVR that was lots of fun! The only reason I gave it a four was that there was no laundry detergent which I didn't realize until after we had already been grocery shopping, and we were told there would be a roasting pan there as it was Thanksgiving week and there was not. A staff member did drop one off very quickly when we called though and they were very nice about it! We would love to stay here again!

The Eller's, Utah says:
The Kitchen was immaculate. The house was great- perfect for a couple with 2 small children. Distance to beach as billed- easy with essential wagon!! Trivial stuff- sharpening the knives would be nice. The non stick frying pan is at the end of its life. The toilet was a little precarious but worked ok after the handyman fixed it. It was great- extremely helpful staff from searching for properties to booking to help with the toilet issue the first morning. We realized on the last night that there's just plywood between the extra room and neighboring room. It was rough with having kids in there until we realized that closing the kitchen door helps tremendously. Just a rec. you should advertise 2BR + a bonus room (maybe you do?) It was no problem for us. We had a great stay at Sand Patch 2 and will definitely use So Cal Vacation Rentals in the future. Thank you!

Our family had a great stay at Elements (accurately named). The house was conveniently located for us as it was within walking distance from shops as well as the family we were visiting. The house was very clean and had a great supply of towels (bath and beach). We would definitely stay here again. We loved going to the beach near the Beach & Tennis Club just a little further walk north of the beach directly in front of the house.

My husband and I stayed at this beach house for 10 days in September while relocating from California to Florida. It was awesome! The house is gorgeous -- absolutely spotless and beautifully decorated. If you like the beach, the location is ideal. You can walk to everything in a block or less. We plan to stay there every time we go back to California -- if it's not already booked!

Greta, Minneapolis says:
The house was great and staff very helpful in planning our stay. The only downside was a little difficulty finding the house and, although a 2 car garage was advertised, we found it impossible to fit 2 cars in the garage so we needed to find street parking. It wasn't until the 3rd night that we realized there was paid overnight parking area right off the alley. That information would have been helpful.

Quinn and Jessica, Denver, CO says:
First, I would like to start by letting every parent out there know that this is a great place to stay if you have children! My wife Jessie and I stayed here with our son (2 years old) and we could not be more happy with our experience. I cannot overstate how nice it is to be within 2 miles of Sea World. SoCalVac rentals arranged a full week pass to Sea World for us and we were able to head over to Sea World in the morning and come back in the afternoon so he could take a nap. We felt no rush to see all the attractions as we could simply return to Sea World anytime we felt like it. It was wonderful for us.
Next, the location is great! There were many, many restaurants near the property and we felt right at home from the start. The property is also located very close to downtown San Diego so we felt that none of the attractions in San Diego were our of our reach. During our stay we also visited the San Diego Zoo and LegoLand. If you have young children I highly recommend both of these attractions as well.
I really can't stress how relaxing it was to stay at the Island Paradise. The staff was awesome and they went out of there way to see that we had a nice/memorable vacation. I would not hesitate to go back again next year.
As for the property itself, it is very nice. It has an awesome "beach house" feel to it that we really enjoyed. Everything was very clean and we have no complaints. If you are planning a vacation to San Diego and you are considering staying at a hotel over this property I think you would be making a big mistake. You will be giving up that "local" type feel that you just can't replicate in a hotel.
Thanks again to SoCalVacation rentals and everyone involved with making our stay so memorable. We can't thank you enough! Quinn & Jessie

We stayed in the Island paradise house for 3 weeks with a child of 8 and a baby of 8 months. The house was in perfect location with 30 sec. walk to the bay and 2 min. walk to the ocean and belmont park. Every major location is within 10 min drive. So the location is perfect. We loved the bike rides on the bayfront and ocean front, visiting belmont park whenever we want. House facilities are perfect nothing is missing. Even the smallest detail is thought of such as some toys. On the arrival the house was perfectly clean. Before and throughout our stay the socal vac. staff was extremely helpful answering all the questions quickly and helping with every need. I am amazed with the very high quality service delivered by the company. We are very very happy and satisfied for choosing this house and renting it through Socal vacations. It is what we were hoping for after travelling from the other side of the world. Thank you all..

The location of the Island Paradise home was perfect, nestled between the Bay and Ocean boardwalks.

We also loved that we could see fireworks each night from Bay beach (courtesy of a nearby attraction). The home and surrounding area gave our family memories that will last forever, and we would be blessed to stay at Island Paradise again one day.

Robert R, Littleton, Colorado says:
Our experience at Island Paradise was amazing! Having the amenities of home while on vacation made our stay a relaxing one. We took advantage of the outdoor grill on the patio more than once. Eating out was convenient too because there were lots of fun places to eat within walking distance. A highlight of our stay was the short drive we took up to La Joya Beech. There is a beautiful park with colorful flowers, a cove where you can skuba dive and an abundance of sea lions! This is a nice place to take photos and make memories. We have a toddler and Island Paradise had everything we needed to take care of him. Some of these things include a high chair, a pack-n-play, a wagon, beach toys, a T.V. and DVD player. Having a secure double car garage to park the car in was also a nice touch! Our family created many wonderful memories and had a great time. There are many places to stay in San Diego but Island Paradise is well kept, clean and very close to everything. Sincerely, Robert R

Reviews for Sea Lodge
John & Tara, Defiance, MO says:
This was a special vacation for us. Not only the first real vacation in a while but we were also joined by my Wife's Sister and our Nephew. So, of course, the zip line and pool were big hits. I could not have asked for anything else in the house. It was clean, comfortable, well taken care of, and very welcoming. The neighborhood was very quiet. A big plus for us since we love peace and quiet. We love to cook but did not take too many opportunities to do so, but the kitchen was fully equipped. The beds were very comfortable, the living room very accommodating for family gatherings or to watch a movie. The outside areas were just unbelievable. One does not get too many chances to get up in the morning, pick a few oranges from the tree in your yard and make some fresh squeezed juice.
I would HIGHLY recommend this property to anyone looking for a good location in San Diego to enjoy the beach, Legoland, the Zoo, the many fine restaurants in The Village, Sea World. All of this for a very reasonable price. Not to mention Southern California Vacation Rentals was on top of everything. They even sent me a note about some items I left behind AND sent them to me. If I get a chance, and I think I will, we will be staying there again. probably with a few more members of our family.

The house was great, big, lots of room and beautiful backyard and pool. The location was unbelieveaable being one block from La Jolla Village (a lttle quaint community with restaurants and surf shops) and a few blocks to the beach. Everything was within walking distance or even better by the bikes supplied by Lee the property owner. It was also easy to get on and off the freeway from there to get anywhere around the area you needed to go.
The kids loved the zip line in th back yard and spen hours in the pool. Lee, the owner of the property was great and made sure we were all very comfortable in the house.
The house was well stocked with kitchen utensils, beach supplies and electronics for entertainment. We felt the kitchen and garage could be a little cleaner and there could have been a better supply of hand and body soap. Otherwise it was fabulous.

The house was Absolutely clean. The location was excelent and the home exceeded our expectations. The kitchen needs a new toaster possibly a four slot.

This is a great property in La Jolla Shores. The house is so charming and has great amenities. The pool was awesome and my kids loved the zip line in the back yard.

Everything was clean. Although the dryer was full of sand, just one small thing. The location was fantastic. We really liked being in a residential neighborhood. The beaches within walking distance were lovely. Several toilet seats are loose or missing bolts. Towel racks in the bathrooms would be nice. It was a really nice place to stay perfect for big familys.

Reviews for Casa del Sol
Jessica S., Scottsdale, AZ says:
The property was beautiful, very quaint and has a wonderful patio. It was great to be on the bay side where it was a little quieter and away from the business of the boardwalk. However, I loved the fact it was so close to the beach side as well! The only negative feedback I have is that it got a little stuffy at night time. I would have loved a fan to circulate air and to drowned out some noise. Otherwise,we had a super time and loved Casa del Sol! I would DEFINITELY go back!!! (and I'm looking forward to it!)

Reviews for Sea Star Beach Cottage
Susan, Phoenix says:
When I booked Sea Star Beach Cottage it was an upcoming addition to the Southern California Vacation Rental properties, so I didn't know exactly what the finished home interior would look like (pictures were very limited). I trusted the staff member who told me I wouldn't be disappointed, and she was so right! The decorating reminded me of a HG TV makeover - so cute! The charm of an older home with new modern updates through out. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of closet space, and the kitchen was equipped with everything (including a margarita machine!) The location was great - quiet, safe neighborhood - close to beach and shops. It was nice having bikes available too. So happy...didn't want to leave!

B's 3rd birthday celebration. The BEST thing about having kids is an excuse to celebrate their birthdays! Go across to the Marine Room and tell Dan the bartender Joe sent you. Ask Ron the Execurive Chef how are Joe's sunglasses working out. Until we meet again, "Don't miss me!"

Lynn Gerardo, Phoenix, AZ says:
The house was immaculate! Please tell Ana how happy we were! Beach access does not seem to be in walking distance, only views of the ocean from bluffs. The house needs a sea salt grinder, ice cream scoop, soft scrub (to clean pans), mirror in small br, light near patio light??(no switch to turn all off at once). You should provide two foam style pillows for guests who prefer a firmer pillow. The operations manager came and fixed bed frame issue same day problem reported, brought trash can, scissors and spatula(stainless), set up dish rack , put out garbage -wow!! brought more hangers, towels, and amazing linens!! Everything is new and stylish!

Very clean! The house was exactly as expected from the internet listing, the only difference is the listing says there is off street parking.

items -matches or "fire" for fire place -livingroom screen door sticks on the left. The house is amazing and the beach towels you provided were outstanding! Infact, all of the beach items provided were above average -The garage was full of PERFECT beach necessities that are not usually provided -It made us want to take care of the house even more.

Reviews for Endless Views
T. Tran, United States says:
This property is fantastic! Large estate with all the amenities you need and would expect. The great kitchen, outside eating area, big screen TV's, and workout rooms for the adults. The playroom with bins of Legos, toys, DVD's, and foosball for the kids. And of course, there's the great pool and hot tub for everyone! Backyard is expansive with unbelievable views. We've stayed at many fine hotels such as the Ritz Carlton and Hotel del Coronado but our vacation at Endless Views was the most enjoyable and most memorable.

Reviews for Beachfront at Windansea Surfbreak
Marla and Steve, Fayetville, Arkansas says:
We arrived for a cousins wedding anniversary to find ourselves in heaven on earth! All we had to do to get to the beach was walk accross the street. We were entertained by big surf and a constant display of people watching. Pelicans flew by the windows and in the evening we could stand on the balcony or sit on the couch and watch the sun sink into the ocean. We even saw doplhins and a seal
from the balcony. This was one of the best vacations we've ever had! What an amazing spot. You will never want to leave!

Elizabeth & Daniel, Bethesda, Maryland says:
We will return to this amazing place....We felt like locals in this wonderful beachfront home. Unparallelled views, surf and ambiance. We loved walking to a few great restaurants - "Su Casa" for Mexican and the delicious "Promiscuous Fork". But our favorite was making dinner with the kids and watching sunset while we ate dinner. My kids never slept better; probably the sounds of crashing waves.
Great proximity to the La Jolla Cove where we walked to see the seals and play in the park.
Only wish we could live there forever but that's what vacations are for...to appreciate.

Lisa , Mammoth Lakes, CA says:
Wow, the house was right on the beach looking at 'the shack'. It was entertaining to sit on the deck and watch the surfers and the ocean. We had so much fun playing in the waves with the kids. It was hard to get them out of the water. Loved eating dinner at the house while watching sunset, we even saw a green flash.

Warren, Darlene, Ginny and Lynn, CA says:
Perfect Nest/Location for our families to have our grandson baptized. The condo was clean, well equipped and comfortable. We look forward to staying here again. Since we also have a VRBO listing on our lake front property in Tahoe City, I am always pleased when I receive positive reviews and suggestions for improvement. For your condo, move the fire alarm to another location- the toaster oven causes it to go off when we made toast. The toilet in the Master Bedroom needs fixing. Would it mane sense for you to have one or both of the sofas convertible to beds? Perhaps you are limiting the number of guests by not having them convertible? MINOR issues. We loved staying here! Thank you!
P.S. The rug used as a doormat to the balcony is very nice!

Garrett, Portlandia says:
I'm almost hesitant to mention this but Windansea is not only a great surf spot, the beach is beautiful. Fortunately parking is hard to come by so it tends to keep the crowds down. Had our 2.5 y.o daughter with us and couldn't ask for a better spot for her to explore the sandstone formations, clear water and clean sand. House had a few quirks to be expected but worked out well for our family. The village is close by with lots of great restaurant options. Perfect spot to check the surf in the morning and if you're really lucky you might get on it with less than a dozen locals. One note for those with small kids, little heads can fit through the front deck rails.
