Swimmers, snorkelers, scuba divers, kayakers and surfers can enjoy the golden sands of La Jolla Shores, the Cove and Windansea. And be sure to keep an eye out for migrating whales off the coast as they travel to and from Baja California.

The house was clean and has a nice open floor plan. My kids loved a dip in the hot tub. The reason we left off one star was the water pressure was very light. It took 30 minutes to fill the tub half way for a bath! Also the kitchen could have used a spatula and other basic items. But overall we enjoyed our stay!
