Windansea Beach Home La Jolla

We had a great time. The home is two blocks from the beach, walking distance to markets, restaurants, and pharmacies. The host responds quickly if needed. The host is friendly, personable, and wants his guests to enjoy themselves. Highly recommend this property for either long term stay or short getaway.

Lovely location in La Jolla

Cute home just a few blocks from the beach and a mile from all La Jolla Cove and related stores and the Open Aire Market. The home is comfortable and furnished well. The patios make the place with comfortable seating, umbrellas, plants and trees. While no AC in August was a little rough when the wind isn't blowing, the fans helped.

High School Friends

The location was in a very quiet neighborhood but still close to restaurants, shops and walking distance to the beach. We especially enjoyed the outdoor patio area where we sat and caught up on many years of having not seen each other. Overall the place was very comfortable and clean. When the fire pit was non functioning, the home owner was very responsive in helping out.

Cute beach getaway

Overall the property was wonderful and the location was fantastic. Check-in was very easy, however originally it stated a 4pm check-in, which later changed to 5pm once we received the codes for the property. Very late check-in times but overall well worth the visit.

Wonderful stay - looking forward to returning!

We sincerely enjoyed our stay at this house. The owners were professional and friendly; they answered questions promptly, plus provided great communication before and during our stay. The house was very clean and fully equipped; we had everything we needed to be very comfortable. We especially liked the secluded courtyard and outdoor spaces. And the location is fantastic: on a quiet neighborhood street that’s close to both the beach & town. We absolutely recommend staying here!

We had a wonderful stay at this home. Very clean and cozy, with 3 comfortable bedrooms and all you could need in the living room and kitchen. The patio is a dream with a fire pit. 10 min walk to the beach and short drive to La Jolla cove and all the shops and restaurants around there. Highly recommended!

We had a perfect girls weekend. The house is very clean and has everything you need. The outdoor space is beautiful and relaxing. The beds are very comfortable. The neighborhood isn’t very lively, but the location is central to everything San Diego has to offer, so get out and explore. The sea kayaking and sea lions were the highlight of our trip. A close 2nd was the amazing sunset at windandsea beach!

I needed same day check-in & also extended our stay 2xs & Roland was accommodating & gracious. House is spacious & well stocked, beds comfy, front & back patios lovely. Very clean, & location is great - walkable, safe neighborhood with grocery, awesome coffee shops, & cafes a block down street. Beach another block further. Would stay here again. Thanks for everything, Roland!

Family trip to La Jolla in July

My family of four really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful beach home. The highlights included, the lush garden courtyard that provided privacy and a scenic backdrop of hibiscus plants and aromatic scents of sweet honey suckle. The weather was spectacular during our stay. A short couple blocks to the beach. We enjoyed morning walks in the neighborhood and walking down to the coffee shops on Pearl street. The gas fireplace in the courtyard was a hit, we spent a lot of time relaxing here. The host was quick to get back to me with any questions i had. There were no surprises. We had a fantastic stay here and hope to come back again!

Nice well located beach house with a few downsides

This is a sweet beach cottage located 2 long blocks from the Windnsea beach. It is also within walking distance of a lovely grocery and several good resturants. The best part of the cottage was the outdoor space, which was private and well appointed. The downsides were poor WiFi, lack of water pressure in showers and onerous rules for a moderate retal property. Also, after we checked out the owner submitted a damage fee on the insurance policy for an item that my family did not damage.

Great house and location for Legoland and La Jolla Beaches

This house was a great fit for our family of 4 (5 and 10 year old). Windansea Beach is a short 10 minute walk, which is great for an early morning walk, or the evening sunset. Legoland is a 30 minute drive to the North, and Coronado Beach is a 30 minute drive to the South. Everything else (SD Zoo, Petco Park, La Jolla Shores) are all even closer than that. The house is well furnished, clean, and has plenty of space (3 bedrooms) for a family of 4. Also, the gated patio in the front yard is a great additional living area that we used for coffee in the morning and sharing a bottle of wine at night. This is a great place for those that want to have a quiet, relaxing place close to the beach, in a great community with access to plenty of restaurants, groceries, and shops.

Wonderful Property

We have a family of five with children ages two, five and seven. This property was perfect for our trip to San Diego. We like to have a little space. Everyone had their own room to sleep in with the seven-year old on the pull-out couch in the family room. The location was incredible as the beach is a short two minute drive up the street. Our kids couldn't get enough of the tide pools and rocks to climb on. Ja Jolla is a great town and this property is five minutes from anything you could want. The outside space was fun for the family. The hot tub is separated from the rest of the patio so our two year old could play outside without us having to worry about anything. Roland was also very responsive and helpful. I don't think I waited more than ten minutes for replies to my questions. I highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit San Diego.

Outdoor oasis

Our family was looking for a place to enjoy outdoors as much as possible and this home did not disappoint. The front courtyard provided many options to relax in the sun and the plant life kept it private and pleasing to the eyes. The hot tub was very clean and a wonderful place to relax in the morning and evening. The kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy meals in the home and the beds were very comfortable. Roland also provided beach chairs, towels, and plenty of books and tv options to keep us entertained. The home is about 3 blocks from the beach - so not a bad walk at all. Unfortunately we were on vacation during the corona virus shutdown - so much of the local entertainment wasn’t available. But when our flights home were delayed by a day, Roland was an exceptionally gracious host and helped us out with an additional night for free. There were only a few minor things that kept me from giving the property 5 stars. 1. A few of the beach chair straps were broken so were harder to carry to the beach 2. The carpet on the back patio doesn’t dry very fast, so its wet most of the time. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would definitely stay again if we returned to the area.
