About this property

Steps to Beach/Family Friendly/A/C

Just steps from the Windansea Beach, this beach home has everything you need. Located in the heart of La Jolla you can take a stroll to restaurants and the village of La Jolla or enjoy walking along the shoreline.

Enter this charming 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath, 1,880 sq. ft. 2-story home and find yourself in a fantastic living room with vaulted ceilings (a fireplace for décor only), and lots of comfortable seating. This room opens up to a patio plenty large enough for lounging, sunning, or dining. A modern kitchen has all the amenities you need to create meals and snacks for your family. A kitchen bar with 2-high top stools is right next to a dining area that seats 6.

An enclosed front patio offers the ease of a barbecue and dining al fresco for 8 as you watch the evening sky turn to night. A back yard lawn with a private patio and comfortable seating – creating two ideal outside areas for those who wish to spend more time inside than out.

The king primary suite feels like a large, spacious airy loft with its vaulted ceilings, a ceiling fan to keep you comfortable, a flat screen TV, and an en suite bath that features 2 vanity sinks, a large soaking tub, and a large walk-in shower.

There is a twin bunk bed bedroom on the 2nd floor with an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. This bedroom also has its own private patio. The floor plan lends itself to easy living and entertaining. There are French doors, hardwood floors, and decking. Bliss!

There is a queen guest bedroom on this ground level with a large flat screen TV, and an en suite bath with a shower tub combination, and access to the outside patio. This bedroom makes things easier if any of your guests cannot easily navigate stairs.

This home comfortably sleeps 6 in beds with a maximum occupancy of 7. There is an additional half-bath on the first floor.

A decent stay property

The location was good and relatively close to points of interest. It's also easy to get around that area. The pictures on the website are apparently older, so there have been a few changes to the property. The inside of the property was relatively neat and clean, but the exterior needs work: screens are ragged, exterior needs cleaning, outdoor furniture is falling apart. The master bathroom shower is also out of commission. We rented the property specifically because it was equipped with AC. This turned out to be a waste since the AC would not work, even when the thermostat was unlocked. The property manager was apologetic, and offered to have someone come look at it, but we really didn't want our vacation disrupted in that manner. In short, I would rent from that property manager (Ocean Sands) again, but I would not rent that property.

Wonderful property for family of 5

We stayed for our daughters UCSD graduation weekend. The house was wonderful and had everything we needed for our visit so we could relax and enjoy the weekend. The location is amazing so close to the beach and restaurants close enough to walk. The house has plenty of space inside and outside to relax and visit. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We will absolutely try to stay there again.

Wedding

This house was very accommodating. We had hair and make up done the morning of the wedding and the natural lighting by the patio doors was great.

President's Day Weekend

Positives: The home is in a great neighborhood in La Jolla and steps away from the beach. Small, premium grocery store, coffee shop, and cafes are all within a short walk. Home was well stocked with toiletries/towels/laundry/etc. essentials. Hosts were responsive with communications. Negatives: It was a cooler weekend, and the heat was not consistent throughout the house - the first floor was cold and second floor was a sauna. Also, there were a number smaller things that would be quick fixes that in aggregate translated into a our experience being below expectations based on the listing and pictures (examples: cracked toilet seat, rusty trash cans in bathrooms, soap scum on glass in master shower).
