    I love the decor and how conveniently located it is. I appreciate feeling like we have our own little beach bungalow.

    The mattress seemed a bit worn out, but everything else was so lovely we made do.

    Extremely quiet and peaceful getaway, still close to many restaurants and sights in La Jolla. We were able to walk nearly everywhere we wanted to go. A tiny, charming oasis among the more modern condos on Prospect Street.

    The little portable AC in the room did not function well. There are way too many pillows in the cabin, we had to put them in the closet to be able to find places to sit. However, neither of these things would keep us away. We plan on returning soon.

    The cottages are hidden by a beautiful garden, you don’t feel like you are in a city. It’s a short distance to the tide pools. It isreally a lovely place.

    Charming, quiet and private, in a prime location, Redwood Hollow Cottages is a great place to stay.

    Though quaint, I didn't love the barn door to the bathroom area, it didn't open or close smoothly, so I just didn't use it. Also, if you like a very dark room, you might have trouble, but it's the beach! In La Jolla, so if you get up with the sun, more time to spend in it!

    My cottage, that I had all to myself, was a minutes' walk from the beach! I easily walked to the tide pools, children's pool, la jolla cove, and 2 other beaches south of there. There was a grocery also within reasonable walking distance. My cottage had a full kitchen with a Keurig, dishes and cutlery, things to cook with, and a full size fridge. It was private, and quiet. There is also air conditioning, which worked well, and a laundry room around the corner. It is easily the best location I have ever stayed at in La Jolla, and I would book again. There were also many restaurants in the vicinity.

    It would be nice if there were USB ports somewhere, like on the base of the lamp next to the bed. I didn't see any trash baskets other than the one in the bathroom.

    The room(s) were cozy, I liked having a space to put my computer but I needed more outlets. I use a CPAP machine and the outlet on the floor next to the bed worked fine. The location was perfect, only a 7 minute walk to the venue. The neighborhood was a bit further away from all the restaurants but the Uber came fast and was reasonable.

    Cumbersome online check-in process and forms. Cottages are very old, thus musty and stuffy. Be aware if you have respiratory issues. No housekeeping, disappointing for the expensive price. Onsite laundry, for a fee. Bring your own detergent.

    Charming, garden cottage setting, walkable to all La Jolla. Clean, cozy (read: small), and tranquil. Well-equipped kitchen, comfy bed, great pillows. Good a/c and ceiling fan. Spacious patio with nice furniture. Good shower pressure with ample hot water. Nice staff.

    We were at a front cabin and guests kept coming in thinking we were the office. There needs to be a bigger sign for where the office is located. We had to turn quite a few people away and direct them.

    I did not like having to load and send images of my photo ID and credit card before I arrived. I worked out a compromise with the front desk that partially protected me, but I have received several scam and phishing emails that referenced San Diego since I sent the documents. It could have also been on the local wifi, that I turned on once and and that would not work when I tried to use my VPN. Better internet security and a better check in process would help.

    location was excellent. It was close, but not too close to the fun restaurants and shops. And far enough away that parking was free. We walked everywhere easily. Parking at night was also easy. Harder when it got close to the weekend, tho. We loved the uniqueness of the site and the wonderful vegetation! The size of the apartment was perfect for my daughters and me. There was plenty of linens and extra blankets and laundry! Flor at the front desk set the tone for our stay. She was personable and very accommodating. She seemed to really care that we had everything we needed and that we enjoyed our stay. I would come back because of her.

    The studio was cluttered and furniture and pillows were old. Both the bed and small couch were too soft. Towels also were old and stained.. With just a few updates the cottage could be more comfortable .

    Sadly, the other property behind our room had construction occurring leading to loud work sounds outside our room from 7 am to 7 pm.

    Wonderful property tucked away in La Jolla. Beautiful rooms, just beware that the parking is tight. Normally that would be alleviated by street parking, but they were doing construction there during our visit.

    I suppose the parking situation. But it really wasn’t that big a deal or a strike against this delightful property. We were always able to find parking on the street nearby.

    The cottage was adorable and we all loved everything about it, from the decor to the comfy beds to the beautiful landscaping. And it was magnificent to be a five minute walk from the beach! We walked over every night to watch the sunset.
