About this property

FLASH SALE!* FIRST CLASS  ACCOMMODATIONS AT COACH CLASS RATES! CLICK FOR DETAILS

Already included are a genuine concern for your comfort, a fully equipped residence, and VIG treatment (Very Important Guest.)

Enjoy a wonderful vacation at our authentic Spanish home.

Your 3 bedroom 2 bath casa with parking is located just two houses (a 30 second walk to the west) from the sand at the world famous La Jolla Windansea Beach.

Savor the salty air and see incredible sunsets, including an occasional Green Flash when the horizon is a clear crisp line. Land's end here, where the Pacific kisses the California coast is hard to top.

Built in 1926 (and tastefully remodeled in 2012), your vacation awaits.

We have many beach toys for you, surf/body boards, beach chairs, a BBQ, old-fashioned floor heaters (the best!), air-conditioners, and a new laundry. We have a pack 'n play, toys, and high chair/booster seat combination.

Relax in the private patio or spend the evening in the cozy living room with tall coved ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace.

We also provide an office/den for the business traveler. (Or enjoy a peaceful breakfast there.)

The centrally located dining room can be the focus for a family vacation or serve as a quiet dining experience for adult vacationers. It’s easy and fun to prepare a delicious meal using the modern appliances in your charming kitchen with a gas range.

Other key features include 2 off street parking spaces and, upon request, a garage. A two minute walk east in our quiet and safe neighborhood brings you to several charming eateries. 

We strive to provide upscale accommodations and service. Our family considers it an ultimate compliment when valued guests return. 

So come, be our guest in the beautiful Windansea community, play in the sand and waves, and then let the surf lull you to sleep.

Your comfort is our business. And we take it seriously!

Our family had a wonderful week at the beach, getting together in this lovely home. There is plenty space inside for having relaxed dinners, catching up with children and grandchildren. The home has everything needed for a comfortable stay, the toy cupboard was particularly brilliant for the children's imagination. Paula is very responsive and helpful for any needs. Great times!

We had a great stay at Paula's place. The location could not be beat - could hear the ocean from our open windows! And also walk to neighborhood restaurants, local market, and great coffee. Would I call it "first class accommodations"? Not exactly. Upholstered furniture is a little worn, mattresses & linens were not the most comfortable, at least one bedroom lacked a/c, etc. But it was a really good value for the money, Paula was a communicative and kind host, and I would book again.

Incredible place!!

Our stay here was fantastic! The house was extremely nice, the owners were extremely accommodating and friendly, and the proximity to the ocean was incredible! There is so much to do in La Jolla and a lot of it is very walkable. The whole experience was very memorable. We would definitely recommend this place to anybody looking to relax and enjoy some time near the beach. The beach is literally about a 1 minute walk down the hill from the house.

We loved staying here and were so impressed by the amount of things for a young family at the home to make our vacation so much easier and more enjoyable. The location was perfect and an easy walk to the beach with young kids. I would definitely stay at this house again!

Wonderful home away from home !

This was my first time ever booking a house for a trip. One daughter was getting married in La Jolla and I thought a house, rather than a hotel would be better for 5 adults and a toddler. This place was perfect! It was clean and comfortable, stocked with all the essentials, and a short walk to the beach. It was perfect for us! Communication with Paula was easy as well.

Quintessential beach cottage on a gorgeous block

This beach cottage was a great place to stay in La Jolla. Beach at the end of the block is amazing, and the cottage had a lot of great beach supplies, which was very helpful. The host is very thoughtful, and the house was comfy. It was the perfect place for our stay.
