Understated elegance, a quiet refuge, a timeless beauty. These are comments we often get about our cottage. It is on the Historic La Jolla walking tour, San Diego Home and Garden tour, and many a design class "must see" list.
The man who built this cottage, Eden George, in the early 20's was a devout sea lover. Every room faces the ocean and is cooled by sea breezes. The sound of waves help you fall asleep. The house sits up on a bluff with nothing obstructing the view. Every night one can sit on the private balcony and watch the sunset over the pacific horizon.
My family bought this house in 1957. It was updated and an adition was added in 1987. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and a sofa. Its private bathroom has a whirlpool tub. A den ,connected to the bedroom ,is a perfect place to read many of the literary treasures found in the house or surf the net on the wireless system. The second bedroom has a queen sized bed and full bathroom. A third room may be converted into a bedroom with 2 chairs that turn into twin beds. A living room and dining room, plus full modern kitchen, make this place a self contained retreat.
A large private patio is used year round for dining and sunning. An outdoor shower helps wash off sand from the beach, (right down the bluff), where one can surf, boogie board, snorkel, or comb the tidal pools. The famous LaJolla 'seals beach' is a block north. Restaurants, museums, and shopping are two blocks east.
The cliffs in front of the cottage are known as Whale Watch Point. People come from around the world to sit and gaze at the beauty of the Pacific Ocean at this very spot. Artists work their magic here. Picnickers with bountiful feasts watch and couples say their vows as the sun sets over the horizon. The cliffs are truely magical.
The cottage is just as magical as the cliffs. The matriarch and owner is an active historian and geneolgist. The house refelects this as it is filled with literary treasures and historical artifacts. A stay here is not just a bed, but a living lesson and a tribute to the quiet coastal beginnings of a little sleepy hamlet known as 'the jewel' or La Jolla.
The motivation for offering this place for rent is to bring in income that will help in preserving and maintaining this cottage for generations to come. |

Testimonials |

"We did not want to be in a stuffy hotel room so we searched the Internet and found this historic cottage right on the Pacific Ocean. It sounded very nice, and we hoped that the descriptions were accurate. They were not. The cottage in all of its splendor, history and charm far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we entered the front door it felt like a home away from home.
We enjoyed every nook and cranny of the cottage. We discovered everything from an extensive library to an incredible variety of history right at our fingertips.
The views were soothing and at times breathtaking. Each night, we would meet on the porch to watch as the sun would set into the Pacific Ocean and we would watch for the legendary green flash. The mix of the natural beauty of the landscape and the animals that are easily viewed through the windows of the cottage, from the porches and decks that overlook the ocean or from the cliffs that are merely steps away are a magnificent treasure. The combination of history and modern day is rare, but the physical location and this wonderful cottage provide just that." -- CK, Washington, DC, 2004
"My brother, daughter and I did quite a bit of Internet research to find the perfect place for us to meet this past December for a much needed escape from Boston and Phoenix. How fortunate we were to find La Jolla Cove Cottage. Ideal in its location and accommodations, we could not have imagined how perfectly this home would suit our visions of Pacific Coast beauty and peace coupled with comfort and understated elegance. The charm and intrigue of this historic cottage seriously rivals its dramatic coastal location. Simply put, we can't wait to return." -- WH, Boston, 2004
"Tomorrow we leave this wonderful house with all of it's history, but we take with us our own memories. I understand why this place is considered a piece of heaven on earth. Thank you for sharing it with us my new friend." -- JA, Cleveland, OH, 2004
"It is time for us to head back to Michigan but this cottage and your gracious hosptality will linger long in our hearts. This past week has been filled with wonderful La Jolla memories. It has provided us with the perfect spot for our little family reunion. We hope to return again some day." -- SD, Ann Arbor, MI, 2004
"It is time to leave, our suitcases are packed and we have taken our last walk along the coast line. It has been all we hoped for and more. I believe this is a trip my parents will always remember. Thank you for opening your home and hearts to us. It has felt like home from the time we walked through the door. It will be hard to go back to work. I am going to take a picture of the cottage to work on Monday - it will be my 'retreat' when I need to escape. Thanks again!"
-- CM, Cleveland, OH, 2004
"On other trips to LaJolla, we have walked by this cottage and admired the design and the gardens. To pretend to live here while people are 'ahhing' and pointing has been great fun. How we hate to leave! We especially enjoyed meeting Mary Ruth, the owner." -- SS, Seattle, WA, 2004
