Redwood Hollow Cottages

This is an extremely well located place to stay. It's easy to walk or drive to the beach and to La Jolla village. It's more like an air bnb than a hotel in that maid service only comes if requested and you have a kitchen. It's an older place, but that's part of the charm. My group needed 3 bedrooms, and this place was able to accommodate us. Some might even call this place charming. I might possibly stay here again next time I'm in the area. The front desk isn't open 24 hours, which is slightly annoying. Overall, we had a pleasant stay here.

We rented a two bedroom cottage facing the street. Upon opening the gate to our cottage we saw a beautiful front yard with a water feature two, lounge chairs, a barbecue and a table with four chairs. It was beautiful. If you love old, vintage homes, you will love this place. It is beautiful. It is a short walk from the beach. With the windows open at night you can hear the waves. Standard bathroom amenities are provided, as well as water and coffee pods for one day. When we needed anything, the staff are at the front desk was very kind and helpful. What was not so wonderful was a functioning electric outlet in the tub shower combination bathroom that was actually on the tiled bathroom tub wall! Yikes! Both beds had new mattresses that were as hard as rocks. The staff at the front desk said she thought they would soften the longer they were on the bed. We love this place, and would book again, but would ask the staff which cottage had a softer bed.

We absolutely loved this little cottage! For my husband's 30th birthday we came here for the weekend with our almost 6 month old. We stayed in #242 - a studio which was perfect for us. I loved the vintage coastal charm and unique touches. It wasn't a basic hotel room or vacation rental with everything from Amazon. The bed was very comfy, they had robes, all cotton towels, and they didn't use scented laundry detergent so none of the linens gave me a headache. The kitchen was adorable with the blue appliances and was perfectly on theme. We got there about an hour before check in time and the 2 women at the front desk were so kind and let us check in early. They helped hold my baby's carseat while I was directing my husband where to park and were overall super friendly. I chose La Jolla since it's a small town and we wanted to be able to walk everywhere and not deal with crazy parking. We didn't drive anywhere once. Parked in one of the spots at the cottage, and walked everywhere we wanted to go. The location of the cottages was great because it's close enough to everything you want to do, but at night it gets quiet and there's not a ton of people around since its not right in the downtown area. My husband and I have already talked about renting one of their larger cottages with family for a longer period of time.

Star of the Sea was perfect for me. Very small, but it had everything I needed, including a cozy garden setting outside. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The entire property is uniquely charming and feels completely removed from the surrounding hustle and bustle of La Jolla. I would gladly stay there again.
