About this property

La Jolla Modern Beach House

Walk to La Jolla Shores from our beautiful villa. We are located one block from the hub of La Jolla Shores (Avenida de la Playa) and one more block to place your feet in the sand and play in the gorgeous Pacific Ocean. Please refer to our location on the map. We are close to UCSD, Torrey Pines Golf Course, and La Jolla Village. Hwy 5 and 52 are nearby, which make downtown San Diego, Del Mar, Seaworld, San Diego Zoo, and many other fun destinations and activities easily accessible.

La Jolla Shores was awarded the designation of best beach on the west coast by Trip Advisor's Travelers' Choice Awards! The beach is waiting for you! This gorgeous home in La Jolla Shores allows you to walk to the beach, book awesome activities with the vendors on Avenida de la Playa, and dine at amazing restaurants..all within walking distance. La Jolla Shores Modern Beach House has received architectural awards and considerable press due to the beautiful design. The home was featured in the Winter 2015 edition of California Homes magazine, the November 2019 Union Tribune Coastal Homes & Estates magazine, Dwell, and many others. The glass wall, which separates the inside from the outside, completely retracts and allows the two to merge. This makes the house wonderful for entertaining and enjoying the gorgeous weather here in La Jolla. This is a 4 bedroom home. All bedrooms have a bathroom and shower (and tub in two). There is also a half bath (powder room) on the main level and an outdoor shower. It is the home of my dreams and I know you will love it as much as I do!

House was so beautiful!!! My family and I enjoyed our stay so much! Such a close walk to beach and food! The outdoor area was very relaxing with such an indoor/outdoor feel with the doors that open completely. We will definitely be coming back to this home for our next vacation!

Amazing house. The tall ceilings and full wall of opening glass doors make the living/dining area twice as big and so open. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen cupboards had plenty of pots & pans, dishes, and utensils (we did have to purchase a casserole dish for the night we cooked in.) The property says it accommodates 8 people, although the dining table is really only comfortable for 7, and we needed to pull a few chairs over to watch TV later. Not a big deal. The house is 1 block from a nice Italian restaurant and 3 blocks from a great beach. Our group swam, surfed, and enjoyed a beautiful sunny day just hanging out in the provided beach chairs. We would rent again!

Perfect location; Beautiful modern house

The location is perfect -- walk to restaurants, shops, and the beach. We rarely used our car during our stay. The house is ultra modern with glass walls and cement floors that integrate outside and inside living. So many places designed for social gathering -- the courtyard, the upper deck, the living room fireplace -- really made it easy to relax and reconnect as a family. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Stunning!!

This house was perfect for our family of 7, plus one. The weather was gorgeous, so we took full advantage of leaving the doors open whenever we were home. Walking distance to beach and lots of fun shops and restaurants. The hosts were great, they were readily available if we needed them by text or phone call, but gave us our complete privacy. Would stay in this house again in a heartbeat!!

We were in LaJolla for a family wedding There were 7 adults and 3 kids under 3 We were able to keep the sliders to open porch open all day long. Walk to beach where there is a playground and the village where there are stores and restaurants is literally a block away! Would definitely recommend 100%

Great Location

Our group enjoyed the great location of this home. Easy walk to beach, restaurants and market. The home embraces outdoor living with its large glass retractable wall. Only downside for our group was the downstairs lacked comfortable seating both inside and out. Outside had pads on cement block bench seating and two folding lounge chairs only. Inside sofa accommodates only 3 so others must use the plastic dining chairs. Otherwise, home is well stocked and layout accommodates a group well. Bathroom with each bedroom is a plus.

Perfect location and Great owner to work with

We are repeat guests and will continue to be for several reasons; Location of the home is ideal given it is one block from several breakfast, lunch and dinner places, inclusive of small markets with basic grocery items. The beach is a couple of small blocks away and easily accessible. The home itself is kept very clean, well stocked kitchen if you plan to cook, beach items if you plan to go to the beach. Each bedroom is ensuite which is great for privacy, the indoor/outdoor areas are perfect for lounging, especially downstairs since the entire glass "wall" folds open creating an inviting and private space to spend your time. The owner Jill is wonderful to work with, she is efficient in her communication and wants to make sure you have a comfortable stay, you can feel the pride of ownership and care she has for her home and guests.

Perfect location, but you never want to leave the house!!!

I chose this house due to the proximity to restaurants and to the beach...and because the photos and reviews were top notch. It fit all of our needs. My father is elderly and has a difficult time walking for long distances so this was a perfect choice. Having a bedroom downstairs was also perfect for elderly family members. The location is dynamite, it is also equally wonderful and relaxing to stay at the house. The home is truly unique. Beautifully furnished and comfortable. Every bedroom having it’s own bathroom is outstanding. I highly highly recommend a stay here for families or small friend groups. Wonderful. Thank you!!!

Beautiful, Comfortable, Relaxing, Spacious!

This modern, beautifully designed beach home is well laid out and allows for both time together and time apart. Just a few minutes walk from the beach, we loved that there were no beach access stairs for my elderly Mom. The indoor/outdoor space allowed us to have a lovely socially-distanced dinner with local friends without ever leaving home. And did I mention that it’s a “green” home? We loved everything about this home, it’s location, Jill, and the entire experience. Jill has created a luxury yet homey feel with a well appointed kitchen and a nice little library. It’s a home with a great view and just steps away from coffee, pizza, ice cream, surf shops and a few restaurants. We can’t wait to come back and spoil ourselves again next summer!

Das Haus ist architektonisch wirklich beeindruckend und liegt in einer sehr guten Lage. Umso enttäuschender ist der Zustand, in dem es sich präsentiert. Ein Haus dieser Qualität und Preisklasse sollte selbstverständlich sauber und gepflegt sein – das ist hier leider nicht der Fall.Der Klodeckel ist vergilbt, die Küchenmöbel sind fettig und deutlich abgenutzt, die Einrichtung wirkt insgesamt abgewohnt. Draußen sind die Sitzpolster verschmutzt und von Mäusen angebissen, und der Gasgrill wurde offensichtlich als Kohlegrill benutzt und funktioniert nicht mehr.Schade, denn das Haus hätte enormes Potenzial. Mit mehr Pflege, Sauberkeit und Liebe zum Detail wäre es ein außergewöhnlich schöner Ort. So wie es aktuell ist, stimmt das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis jedoch nicht.

About the host

Hosted by Jill Nooren

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Jill. I am originally from the Midwest. I moved to California in 2008 and absolutely love it here! My kids and I like to surf at La Jolla Shores and Scripp's Pier and love that we can walk to the beach from our house. We live one block from all of the wonderful shops and restaurants in the Shores. We are regulars at all of the establishments here in our neighborhood and can recommend great places to dine, shop, and learn to surf. We occupy this home most of the year, but rent it for a few select weeks during the year. We can help you find activities that your whole family will love...just ask us!

Why they chose this property

This home was finished in April of 2013. The home is LEED Platinum Certified and has received architectural awards and considerable press due to the beautiful and simple design and it's sustainability. It is the home of my dreams and I know you will love it as much as I do! The glass wall, which separates the inside from the outside, completely retracts and allows the two to merge. This makes the house wonderful for entertaining and enjoying the gorgeous weather here in La Jolla.

What makes this property unique

Everything is within walking distance of this lovely home! You can go for a run on the beach in the morning, learn how to surf in the afternoon, and have a gorgeous dinner with fine wine in the evening....all at your doorstep! This is truly the best location if you are coming to La Jolla to enjoy the beach. If you have kids, it's possible for the kids to do surf camp right on this beach (ask for recommendations). In addition, there are bike tours, kayak tours and rentals, and scuba diving one block from the house.
