“Like staying at a very hospitable friend's house”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

We stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of our drive up PCH last September. Marsha's directions were good so we found the house no problem. The front door was open so we walked in to find Marsha, who was lovely and she showed us to our room in the cottage behind the house (Wind'n'Sea, I think). The room was lovely, light and nicely furnished, and is set up to accommodate longer stays as there was space to hang a full wardrobe of clothes and a desk/study area. Although the place was very nice, we didn't spend too long around the house as our main goal was to learn to surf! 'The Cove' was a short drive away and we had surfing lessons at La Jolla Shores which was a little farther, maybe 20 minutes drive away? Marsha had great recommendations for restaurants within walking distance of the house which were just right.
I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a nice, welcoming place to stay in La Jolla. You are staying in someone's house but as long as you are aware of that and are comfortable with that (which we were!) then it's a lovely place.

“The perfect getaway, like home (but much better!)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

I was only able to stay one night, but it was enough to sell me on follow up visits. I felt very much at home, as if I was staying at a friend's house. The location is gorgeous, just steps away from eye-popping ocean sunsets and peaceful strolls through the beautifully treed streets of La Jolla. The house lets in lots of sun while providing plenty of shady sitting areas. It is perfect. I can't wait to return.

“Awesome...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 12, 2012

We found Marsha's B& B from Trip Advisor. My wife and I stayed here for a week when we were relocating. Marsha is a great hostess and creates a home atmosphere for her guests. Along with Lily, they make you feel at home. We have such fond memories of those delicious breakfasts while chatting with the other guests. Marsha knows the San Diego area very well and has all the information you need! Three days of the week dinner is served in the living room and it is a great atmosphere where everyone gathers around and chats about their journeys and Marsha gives inside information about possible trip options! You can easily reach downtown by bus 30. Beach is a short walk away. Overall, it was lovely to stay at the Hideaway! Thank you very much again Marsha for welcoming us to your home!

“A lovely place with lovely people”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 21, 2012

I spent a whole vacation month at Marsha's place but I thought when I left that it was too short! Marsha has been so warm and friendly and helpful that it has been a great experience. She creates such a nice atmosphere that everyone around her feels good.
We enjoyed meeting the other guests around the beautiful breakfast she and Lily prepare every day.
As I was with my 11 year old son, I appreciated she introduced him to nice other kids (including her grand children) so he could make new friends.
The house is located in a very pretty area with gardens and beautiful trees. I had no car but every thing you need was close , within walking distance or with a few minutes bus ride ( bus stop very close). We could visit San Diego or enjoy the beautiful beach.
The 2 rooms we used were very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed staying in the private patio or in the big and beautiful patio, very peaceful too.
My son was very happy to play on the beautiful baby grand piano in the living room.
We loved staying with Marsha and Lily. we wish we can come back next year!

“great b & b”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 19, 2012

My husband and I had a wonderful weekend at the La Jolla hideaway. Marsha is a great hostess and very knowledable about the area. Her recommandations for dinner, George, was perfect and the next day we took a 4 hour walk to Mission Beach and back along the Bay. We are looking forward to going back there again. Thank you Marsha
