The cozy living room has a soft, down-stuffed sofa that can seat 2 adults and 2 kids.

Accessibility and Availability
Neighborhood
There's a reason a lot of billionaires own homes here ;) The beauty and serenity are not often seen so close to a major city. Grocery, restaurants, and shops within 3 blocks (availability varies). About a mile to La Jolla cove, seals, downtown LJ, Bird Rock. There are hiking and walking trails not far from the home. If you travel with your dog you will appreciate the park up the street, and our local Windansea beach as well. There are great coffee shops, restaurants, convenience stores, Valley Farms Market, and massage spas within a few blocks.
Guest Access
The whole house and one patio/deck are available for your use. Some closets/cabinets are used to store supplies which must remain in the home.
Find us
You can do much of your getting around on foot. There is a bus stop about 250 ft away. The cove is about 1.5 miles away and beautiful to walk about. You can pass the seal beach and go on to see sea lions north of the Cove and enjoy. It's just beautiful. The village is within walking distance and has many fine restaurants, shops, and grocery as well as more relaxed eateries, a movie theater, and just about anything one could need to enjoy a vacation or long term stay without a car.
