About this property

Historic Cottage with Zen Feel. Full Ocean Views in Village

La Reinita translates as 'The Queen'. And a Queen it is. Built on a hill overlooking the pacific it was one of the first homes built in La Jolla by the first village's doctor. But please don't get the idea that it is old, on the contrary, it is very new inside with an up to date kitchen and modern comfy furniture. It is where historic and zen come together.

You enter the cottage property through a wrought iron gate past a small office building. An outdoor seating area and a hot tub greet you in the backyard.

As you enter the cottage you are greeted by hardwood floors, panoramic ocean views, and a wonderful living room. There is a brand new sofa bed plus two new chairs - 2024 upgrades - in the living room that are directed towards a large mounted TV that sits above an electric fireplace. Two additonal chairs are set up for ocean viewing and reading.

To the right, as you enter the cottage, is the kitchen and dining area that seats four. A large window with a kitchen nook is the perfect spot to look out on the lawn with beautiful gardens. The motif is black and white with all up to date appliances and is fully equipped with dishes, pots, pans, and even wine glasses!

On the far side of the living room to the right is the master bedroom. Very cozy with a queen size bed, an attic with extra storage, and a full bath room.

To the left of the living room is an outside deck with ample seating, patio umbrella, fire pit, and a hot tub. All of which can be enjoyed with a beautiful ocean view.

By the door that takes you to the deck is a spiral staircase leading to a second downstairs bedroom with a queen bed and full bathroom. A washer and dryer is just around the corner.

The colors are white beige and blue making it very cottage like but with a strong Zen feel of peace and comfort and tranquility.

The home can sleep 5 max. including kids.

Rental includes 1 free reserved parking spot located in the garage next door, a coveted amenity in this area. Please note that you will need the parking fob to enter and exit the parking garage to avoid being charged.

The cottage has a yard. The seating/bbq/hot tub areas are in the back side of the yard, next to the cottage, and are for the use of the cottage guests. Vendors - gardeners, hot tub cleaners- will have access to the yard when necessary. There is also a deck attached to the front commercial building. That deck is for the use of the commercial builiding tenants. To access the deck they need to go through the iron entrance gate and the front side of the yard. For these reasons guests that bring dogs will be asked to keep them on a leash when out in the yard.

Once a Reservation is made Guest will receive our standard Rental Agreement, this will need to be reviewed, signed, and sent back to us.

The house is pet friendly, please inquire first about bringing your pet.

2024 upgrades include, new sofa beds and living room chairs, new dinning set, new outdoor patio set, and new refrigerator.

Fab location but super quirky

Quirky place in perfect location.Directions for getting in are long and unnecessarily complicated and extremely difficult if you arrive after dark. Downstairs bedroom smelled of mold and dank. Staircase to it is super narrow and treacherous.Place has seen better days but is clean. A few nice amenities. Overall we felt it was.expensive for what you got.

Adorable cottage in amazing location

This vintage cottage is nestled in a quiet spot, yet 1.5 blocks from the beach and steps from shops and restaurants. The hot tub and fire pit are great. We stayed with our three adult kids over xmas. This house does have a tiny spiral staircase down to one bedroom and if you're going to use the attic, very steep/deep stairs, so not for someone with orthopedic issues if they need to use those rooms

This was our fifth stay at the cottage. Another perfect stay. Great location and only one hour to the wineries in Temecula. Handy to have two bathrooms and the outside seating has new furniture. Very comfortable. We’ve already reserved for next year.

Amazing La Jolla location!

This cottage is walking distance to everything in the Village of La Jolla: grocery, restaurants, waterfront. We were there a week. It's rustic but it grew on us due to it's amazing access to all that La Jolla has to offer.

Great ocean view

The property is shabby chic, but in a good way, with an updated kitchen and baths with strong showers and plenty of hot water. It is a short walk to the Childrens Beach as well as many others. Lots of restaurants within easy walking distance too, so we did not need to move our car, which was parked for free in a nearby covered lot (covered by rental). The managers were responsive and helpful when needed.

Exceeded Our Expectations

This place was so nice and the area is very quiet. If you walk out the front door up the hill, through 2 hidden gates, it opens up to all the local stores and restaurants. Never once heard any traffic.

Lovely little cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in La Jolla. The cottage is cute, quaint, peaceful and delightfully rustic. Loved the entrance covered in ivy. It seemed like our own little secret cottage. Loved it all! If I wanted to give any small area which could be improved upon, it may be the comfort of the living room furniture, but I dont expect ultra expensive comfy stuff. We coped and the trip was wonderful...thanks so much!

Great location!

We stayed here with my parents and our toddler for a wedding nearby. The property was perfect for our visit- needing to be in town and walkable. It was exceptionally great for our toddler and having the private yard for her to play in and a great playground at the community center which was very close! We enjoyed sitting on the patio, hot tub and being able to easily walk down to Childrens Pool to see the seals an incredible views. The hosts were great in being communicative in ensuring we'd have a pack and play and high chair. Also very nice to have a dedicated parking spot. Highly recommend!

It’s our home away from home

This was our fourth stay at this cottage. Myself, my wife, her brother and his wife; ages range from 64-78 This is the perfect spot for us. An easy walk to many restaurants and the coastal walk. We usually hang out the afternoon we get in then on Thursday and Friday we head to the Temecula wine country. We visit old favorites and some new ones Saturday is the day to hang around lajolla. The cottage is perfect with two baths and two bedrooms. The deck is a relaxing place to spend our evenings Laura and Gabriela are wonderful to work with. Very quick on getting back to us in case of questions. I can’t think of another place in La Jolla that gives you downtown access and total privacy. We have already booked for next year and hope to keep coming back

Wonderful Location

This is a cute house in a great location. There are many good restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The outside patio with the fireplace and hot tub was great to have. Unfortunately, the home was not clean in some areas such as the windows (the view could have been so much better if the windows were clean) and the downstairs bedroom floor (extremely dirty). The outdoor lights were not working and the outdoor furniture cushions really need replacing. For the price the house could use a deep clean and repairs as needed.

Peaceful cottage and beautiful views.

The cottage is very centrally located in La Jolla. Walking distance to the beach, shopping, dining and parks. Very quiet and wonderful views. Beds and couch inside the cottage are very comfortable. Very enjoyable stay although the hot tub was broken and we were disappointed we couldn’t use it the entire time we were there and it was a main feature we were excited to use daily. The only suggestion I have is newer and higher quality towels. It’s a great place otherwise. I’d recommend and I’d stay there again. Thanks for the great cottage!
