"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,

| "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." --

"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."

"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!"

"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." --
