About this property

Architectural Masterpiece on Windansea Beach - Family and Pet Friendly!

La Jolla and summertime... a match made in heaven. Very limited spots in September, October and November are available.

Grand Neptune is a Mid-Century Modern architectural masterpiece, updated with modern amenities, curated for years by our family and now available for limited rental opportunities. Pictures do not do this home and the views from it justice. This is an extremely special retreat on one of the finest beaches in San Diego.

This home features 2,700 square-feet of versatile floor space on two levels, with three bedrooms and three full baths. It is ideal for a multi-generational family or two to three couples travelling together.

The main level of the home features two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The main level master suite comes complete with a walk in closet and a full en-suite bathroom, complete with separate shower and jetted tub. The second bedroom downstairs has a queen bed and is adjacent to a full bath with shower. The main level of the home also features the full gourmet kitchen, laundry, serene living area and a tv room, most with unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean.

The upstairs master bedroom is separated from the main level of the home and is accessible though the home's intimate courtyard and up a small flight of stairs. This room, to put it simply, is stunning. Views of the Pacific are unobstructed, the en-suite bathroom is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship.

In short, words simply cannot adequately describe what a serene and beautiful retreat this is. With incomparable ocean views from the master bedroom and the living, dining and kitchen areas, guests can savor the natural beauty of La Jolla's Windansea Beach from just about every room in the house.

Glass doors open to fabulous wood decks, just steps from the beach; and a private stone patio with an outdoor fire pit and a hydrotherapy hot tub grace the backyard.

The state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with the finest appliances and gourmet details, suitable for entertaining a group or for preparing a quiet supper for two.

In the late 1960s, famed Southern California architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg designed this home in wood, glass and concrete, complementing the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Years later, San Diego's finest artisans, along with the talent of architect Yum Kee Fu, masterfully updated, renovated and decorated this amazing home into one of La Jolla's most luxurious homes.

PLEASE NOTE: We are very sorry, but this home does not accommodate events, parties or weddings of any size.

ADDITIONAL NOTE... Our neighbor property to the south is in the process of an extensive remodel. Though we are mitigating the impact of this project on our home, kindly be aware that there may be some construction noises during your stay. We apologize for any inconvenience. (Updated Feb 2025)

About the host

Hosted by Geoff Longenecker

Host profile image
I've lived in La Jolla for 27 years. This house is a family home, one which we treat very carefully. This is not a typical vacation rental. It is a cherished family home which we love sharing with guests on a very limited basis.

Why they chose this property

Windansea is the ultimate southern California family beach. One of the most beautiful beaches in the world, every afternoon before sunset you will see professional photographers taking pictures with local families who want to commemorate their time. It just so happens to be across the street from the front door of this home!

What makes this property unique

You'll see. This home is a jewel of mid-century modern meets modern building finishes. It is a special home.
