About this property
Architectural Masterpiece on Windansea Beach - Family and Pet Friendly!
Springtime on Windansea is just the best. Sunny and 65, except on days when it is 75! Extremely limited openings are now available in April and May.
Also, summer is almost full. We almost never have openings that time of year. If you are looking for the perfect summer spot, it is time to book!
Some things about our home...
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 upstairs 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 back courtyard.
The state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with the finest appliances and chef-worthy 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. The project is now in the indoor finishing phase and is expected to be completed by end of summer, 2026. 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 April 2026)

We loved our stay here! The view of the ocean was magnificent and we had easy access to the beach just steps away.The house itself is an architectural gem and obviously lovingly decorated. It was super clean and the fireplace and hot tub were welcome amenities after being at the beach.Our host was friendly, communicative, and very responsive to any questions. He also gave us great ideas about places to go in the area.We will be back!
Excellent stay. Everything as described. Absolutely can't beat the view of the ocean and proximity to the beach. Host communication excellent. House well appointed, clean and in excellent shape. It was an honor to be able to stay here. Thank you.
Geoff and Yolanda are wonderful hosts. They go over and above to make your stay memorable. The home is beyond beautiful. The master bedroom upstairs is absolutely incredible. Thank you for sharing your home, we look forward to coming back.A birthday I will never forget! Rich and Katie
10/10 Excellent! This home is pristine, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. From check-in to check-out, the host was very accommodating and helpful. It’s rare to find a rental so clean and a host so attentive. I highly recommend giving this home a try!"
Absolutely wonderful property. So lucky the owner shares this unique beach front masterpiece with his guests. It's immaculately decorated and situated on an amazing beach. Geoff was more than accommodating during our stay. We were at the property over spring break and there was a lot of action in the afternoons through Sunset. Mornings and evenings are very peaceful and Serene. Our favorite part was listening to the waves crash onto the beach each night. One more thing of note. We always bring pillows to our VRBO stays but this place had the most amazing pillows and bedding. It was like staying at a Four Seasons.
We wanted to stay forever! We had a perfect long weekend of mornings by the fireplace, days following surfers catching waves, evenings watching the sun dip below the sea, and nights sleeping with the sound of the ocean tide rolling in. The house is a mid-century masterpiece with every modern comfort we needed, in the perfect spot. We can't wait to return.
The host was incredibly personable, showing us all the details of the beautiful house with great excitement. That set a terrific tone, and he remained quite accessible when we had questions. The sunsets and ocean views were stunning. The location in La Jolla was fantastic. The house was both fascinating and comfortable. It met all our needs. And it was great that the space was so dog-friendly. We'll definitely be back!
The house had an elevated California coastal vibe. The architectural prowess was noteworthy. The sound of the surf was haunting. The views were neverending. The beach was 15 steps away. The location was convenient for many desirable place. Great host! Our dogs loved the interior courtyard. Can’t wait to return!
This was perfect for a getaway with our adult children- plenty of room and so much nearby. The ocean is just steps away and made for constant people and surfer watching. Loved our stay!
Awesome property exactly as advertised. We were there with family and friends for our son’s wedding. Host was very accommodating. Even gave us some good insight on the history of the house. Would definitely stay here again
The view is amazing for this lovely home. It was immaculate and pleasing. The only thing we had a problem with was the very low to the ground furniture, which was hard for us to get in and out of. Very responsive owner.
We had the best time! The home was beyond the photos posted! The beach was right across the street, that was not real busy! We would stay again! An architectural delight!
Couldn’t have asked for a better stay in LaJolla. Check in process very efficient. House manager Yolanda met us there and walked us through all the details. All the comforts of home in one of the most beautiful settings in the US.

About the host
Hosted by Geoff Longenecker
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.
