Overpriced and uncomfortable, and a little scammy, but charming decor.
Pros:

The location is great. Very close to a great beach and very close to restaurants and shopping. The property is very cute and cozy and well decorated. I also appreciated the modern toilet with bidet.

Cons:

First of all they charge a FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR deposit up front on the day of arrival. Insane. This is not clear that this is going to happen until you’ve arrived and it’s in your arrival paperwork. Additionally, and egregiously for how much the rooms are, the mattresses on both the queen bed and the pull out beds are ancient coil mattresses that are bowing and extremely uncomfortable. We ended up sleeping backwards on both beds just to achieve a modicum of comfort. Worst nights of sleep in my life and I woke up sore each day. Additionally the ceiling fan was filthy as if it had never been cleaned and there were leftover toiletries and perfume samples from a previous guest left over in the bathroom and kitchen, which raised questions about the cleanliness of the entire cottage. They should use the exorbitant deposits they collect to invest in some new mattresses at the very least.

Tiny, over priced and kind of deceptive.
Pros:

Location is very convenient, but has no views at all.

Cons:

Online views and descriptions give impression there is a common space indoors. There is none. Our room was smaller than any cruise ship cabin I’ve experienced, and the sink was the size of a small shoe box.

Darling community of cottages right in the heart of La Jolla Cove
Pros:

Very cute little bungalow right near La Jolla Cove! We could walk everywhere! our bungalow was darling!

Cons:

Needs more surface area and bathroom and beyond. Need some towel hooks to dry your bath towel.

Not my favorite
Pros:

Beautiful garden and location was perfect.

Cons:

Was a little worn. I liked the cottage style, but there were some things that should be updated. Some outlets didn’t work, the window a/c units were noisy and disturbed our sleep, the sheets were worn, the towels were mismatched and old, some of the light fixtures didn’t work. Also, the pictures online made the rooms look much larger - a bit deceiving. The rooms were small and there was no space to put suitcases or clothing. One thing that really made the stay uncomfortable was not the property’s fault, but it was super hot when we stayed and there was a terrible mosquito issue in the garden so it wasn’t possible to enjoy the outdoor space.

Great stay. We will definitely consider returning.
Pros:

Adorable classic cottages set in a beautiful garden. Great location close to water, restaurants and shops. Off street parking a big plus.

Cons:

Preassigned parking would be better than not knowing whether parking spot available even if there was a charge for it. Parking in the neighborhood on the street is difficult. Our cottage was super petite but cozy.

Has potential but needs some help
Pros:

The property is cute, quaint and nice location.

Cons:

The one bedroom cottage we stayed in had very light, sheer window coverings, which are nice during the day. However at night, there is a light outside the bedroom window next to the bed and one outside the entrance door (which has a glass panel) so it felt like daylight in the middle of the night. We had to hang towels and blankets over the windows every night to make it dark enough to go to sleep. The room was below what I think may be where the employees gather in the mornings. At 7:30am every morning there was stomping and what sounded like chairs scraping across the floor above us. Employees talking outside the bedroom window where they were sitting cleaning the vacuums and then tearing down boxes the next day. Literally right outside the window. It is also connected to the laundry room, so we could hear the employees doing laundry early in the morning too. The other cottages may be amazing, but the one attached to the office building was a bit disappointing. We did not feel rested and refreshed from our stay.

Relaxation in La Jolla
Pros:

Location in walking distance of the two centers of La Jolla: The upmarket one and the availabilities on Pearl St. Calm and relaxing after a stressful day - the setting really set this accommodation apart as off the beaten track while still in the center of La Jolla. It was in a way an oasis or a time pocket.

Cons:

They cannot guarantee an onsite parking lot, even if it was part of the booking. We got lucky and always had one of the four spaces, but resorting to street side parking would have been a nightmare, because they are almost all taken.

Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend and return when I come back to San Diego. None of the negatives
Pros:

Such a cute place! It has a very homey feel and was clean and spacious! I didn’t cook, but there was a full kitchen and cute patio area.

Cons:

The description wasn’t clear that there are 2 bathrooms and 2 bathTUBS, but only 1 shower. Also, the 3rd room doesn’t have AC. The master mattress needs to be replaced. Parking availability is scarce.
