Beautiful

The best way to describe it, is to say it felt like being in our own home. It has everything you need to enjoy a stay from cooking to beach gear to location to restaurants.. all fantastic. The host . Owner could not have been more helpful and considerate. And the time we spent here, while being tasked with dropping our kid off at college, allowed us to enjoy one last family vacation before everything changes. I’d give it at least 7 stars if they were available.

A Week in Paradise

I can't say enough good things about our stay in Bruce's beach cottage. Right from the start our experience was great—reserving and communicating and checking in with Bruce was a breeze. He met us upon arrival and walked us through how to operate things and showed us where things were—so nice not to have to puzzle through how to do things. Additionally, he has a book with instructions on how to operate everything which is quite helpful. The house is actually even better than it appears in the photos. The location—a peaceful neighborhood, yet near to stores, restaurants and a beautiful stretch of Windansea Beach couldn't be better. If you like to cook your meals, everything you could possibly need is there for you. The window that opens to the deck is a huge bonus really creating that indoor/outdoor feel, and looking out at the magical lit garden while listening to the soothing sounds of, not one but two water fountains and watching the humming birds flit around is my idea of heaven. The seating on the deck is very comfortable and you have the option of having full sun or pulling overhead coverings over the deck when it heats up. The pillows and duvets are down and and the beds are great. The living room is cozy with comfortable seating and plenty of cozy throws to snuggle up with. I highly recommend a stay here and hope to return again to relax in this lovely oasis.

About the host

Hosted by Bruce Craig

I've owned the La Jolla Garden Cottage since 1998 and I've enjoyed opening it up to those who are looking for a peaceful and beautiful retreat. I am an avid traveler, so I know the importance of a destination being as perfect as possible upon arrival, and you can expect that to be the case when you visit the cottage.

My goal is to exceed your expectations and make the entire booking process easy. That includes professional service such as prompt communication, a timely rental agreement, confirmation of deposit checks, easy access to the property, a complete guest guide, and recommendations for activities and restaurants that suit your specific needs and interests.
