A little bit about the area:

La Jolla is another San Diego neighborhood exuding a Mediterranean village atmosphere. La Jolla Shores' picturesque sandy beach runs north from La Jolla Cove and offers great snorkeling and scuba diving. Known for its galleries, shops, restaurants and the highly scenic coastline, La Jolla is also home to branch of the Museum of Contemporary Art of San Diego. To the north of La Jolla is Torrey Pines, home to the Torrey Pines Golf Course, one of the nation's finest public golf courses and the site of the Farmers Insurance Open in late January or early February. Located around the course is the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, which offers paths and rock outcroppings to hike on as you make your way to pristine and often empty beaches.

Perfect Location for UCSD
The deck is amazing. Everything is set up for groups to enjoy time together. We cooked meals in the kitchen and hung out in the living room and on the amazing deck. The best time is early morning with a cup of coffee listen to the birds and sea lions. Wow! Beds are very comfortable. Bathrooms are somewhat dated but everything works.

Issues we had with property wrong lockbox code emailed to us(resolved first day) bathroom sink not draining(fixed next day) grill would not consistently start for us( gave us new propane tank) screen doors do not stay on tracks making it very difficuot to use them fly problem in house due to multiple holes in window screens dryer lint trap caused shredding of clothing when used kitchen sink backed up last day we were there(not resolved until after we left) very poor water pressure in north end bathroom shower This owner should not advertise the home being able to accomodate many guests untill plumbing and window/door issues are resolved. We recd a small refund but major maintenance is needed before future rental in our opinion. Beautiful location.

This place was perfect--It's right next to UCSD and it has amazing ocean views from its new deck. We stayed in this unit two years in a row now and we love it. I hope we will be able to come back and stay in this unit next year.

Beware, No Deck!
Similar to the previous reviewer, the main reason we rented this property was for the deck overlooking the ocean that is clearly shown in the pictures. We rented the property in November and stayed there in February. The description did not state that the deck is no longer there. While this house has an amazing view, it can only be enjoyed from the inside. There is no deck or outdoor seating area of any kind overlooking the ocean. We did not come to California to sit inside. I have been using VRBO for several years and this is the first time I have felt deceived. We became aware that there was no deck a week before our trip by reading the previous negative review. At that point it was of course too late to change our plans or rent another house. When we called to ask if the deck was there or had been rebuilt, we were given a discount but only because we called to complain. I’m just glad we found out before we walked into our rental so that we had time to adjust to the disappointment. That deck and the view is the only thing that makes this house special. The master bedroom plumbing is very bad. The water pressure was so low I had a hard time rinsing the shampoo out of my hair and the toilet barely flushed. Additionally, the fireplace does not work. We had a couple cool nights while we were there, and a fire would have been nice. We would not be writing this negative review if we had been informed when we rented (or shortly thereafter) that the deck was not there. We would have liked the chance to look for another rental with an outdoor deck. This is always the number one thing we look for in a vacation rental. The living room is very nice, the beds were very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed.

FALSE ADVERTISING!!
We rented this property because of the photos of a beautiful deck overlooking the green valley and ocean views. We were extremely shocked when we arrived to find the beautiful deck did not exist!!!! There's a two foot drop from the back sliding door to the dirt where the deck was. It's definitely a safety hazard! With nails sticking out of the sides of the house and the drop off to the green valley with no railing. Dangerous if we had children with us. This was our wedding weekend and I ended up spending several hours on the phone with La Jolla Vacation Rentals and VRBO and all I got was the run around. We would never have rented this place knowing there wasn't a deck. We wanted to be able to sit outside and enjoy the views. It's false advertising with the beautiful photos they have in their listing showing a deck with a built-in bench and table and chairs. The showers/tubs are very old. The master shower water was just a drizzle. There are no mirrors in the house except in the bathrooms. They only provide very few, small packets of coffee and sugar, like a hotel. And there are only two TV's in the house, no cable. I do not recommend this property!

exceptional views
Beautiful views of Sumner canyon and the ocean. Very peaceful. Quick walk to UCSD, 15 minute walk to beaches down La Jolla Shores or Black's Beach road off La Jolla Farms. The house was built in the 1950s as part of the historic Scripps Estates Association, which was created by such UCSD luminaries as Roger Revelle and Walter Monk. You can see the house that Jonas Salk owned across the canyon. The only negative is that you are not allowed to walk in the canyon. This should be explicitly called out in the listing, instead of it saying "private canyon". I've hiked that canyon for twenty years when visiting the Monk's house while Walter was still alive. It's the reason that I spent the extra money to rent this house. But when we went to sit on the bench at Martini Point in the canyon, we got a call from La Jolla Vacation Rentals threatening a $1,000 fine. Grrr.

A great house in a great location. Wonderful views from the deck, dining room, living area and all the bedrooms. The house does not have AC and so can get hot in early afternoon when the sun comes round but there are fans and once the sun drops the temps drop. Overall a great rental.
