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 addition 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. A new deck has been added off of the master suite. It is large and is wonderful for viewing and resting right on the ocean. Enjoy morning coffee or evening wine at sunset.
The second bedroom has a queen sized bed and full bathroom. A third bedroom has 2 twin beds made exremely comfortable with microfill and feather fill treatments. 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 La Jolla '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 truly magical.
The cottage is just as magical as the cliffs. The matriarch and owner is an active historian and geneoligist. 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.A stay here is a treasured experience.
