Welcome to The Sea Dahlia, circa 1914, a summer cottage, in a much sought after location, the heart of downtown La Jolla and the last of a dying breed of simple spacious turn of the century homes and across the street from La Jolla's Cultural Zone. Architecturally, it emulates the look and feel of an earlier, quieter era of village life.Our spacious kitchen catches the morning sun. Pressed tin ceiling tiles are used as back splashes and warm earthy tones of our unique floor make for a very cheerful ambience.A fireplace in the living room adds to the sense of warmth and hominess as does our large shaded porch which is a great place to watch the parade of life on warm summer days.Our corner yard with fountain is fun and interesting.Our front yard is dominated by a very forty foot high, 90 year old, magnolia tree. When we remodeled the Sea Dahlia, our plan was to accommodate the oldest living resident on the property the tree.And the tree pays us back by shading us from the afternoon sun and keeping our home about ten degrees cooler than the ambient temperature.In fact, we did not even need to install air conditioning because the combination of being just a few blocks from the beach and shade from the tree, our home remains cool.A Jacuzzi and shower are in the backyard. The Jacuzzi fits three adults or four children and is very nice after a day of snorkeling and swimming at La Jolla Cove.
Upstairs is newly carpeted. So extra care is required.
But we also have an ever changing vegetable garden area of which you are free to use whatever produce you can find.In season your might find; blueberries, tomatoes, onions, lemons, tangerines, apples, nectarines, oranges.There are usually fresh herbs; rosemary, basil, oregeno, curry, etc. Dual pane divided light windows and hand crafted rafter tails are a delight to the eye and catch the attention of passersby throughout the day. Our corner lot assures you that there is natural light throughout the day and our ten foot ceilings add a sense of quiet grandeur to each of our four bedrooms, all of which are quite comfortable.We have a wide variety of entertainment for children.Four Boogey boards, three surfboards, multiple wet suits, masks fins, four tennis rackets, Wii, 4 bikes, etc, are yours to use if you wish.And of course we have a wide variety of board games Scrabble, monopoly, billionaire, Life, checkers and chess.
For any family that stays for the week, you will have free access to the La Jolla tennis club, one block away. The Sea Dahlia is one of the few true village homes remaining in La Jolla Village and is walking distance to everything you will need during your entire stay. Parks, museums, grocery stores, restaurants, beaches, bookstores etc. The Children’s Pool, shell beach, La Jolla Cove and Marine Street Beach and the Coast Walk are a pleasant ten minute walk. Yet, it is quiet, private and absolutely, delightfully relaxing in a very unimposing way.
