Charming Windansea Cottage
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Windansea Community
This location is absolutely perfect in everyway! It is walking distance not only to the most beautiful beach in San Diego but it is just a stroll (less than a minute walk) to restaurants and shops on La Jolla Blvd and Nautilus Street. Pearl Street is less than one mile to the north, where the heart of La Jolla Village awaits you with all it has to offer. Museums, parks, farmers markets, galleries, night life and some of the finest restaurants in San Diego. One mile south of the cottage is the little neighborhood of Bird Rock also filled with sidewalk cafes, coffee houses, bakeries and restaurants.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhouse Cottage
The cottage is fully appointed with all the comforts one would expect and then some! We even leave beach towels, beach chairs, coolers and a boogie board for guests to enjoy. Be sure to check out the Zagat restaurant guide, left in the kitchen, to read about personal recommendations for great places to eat all over San Diego.
Don't miss fabulous outdoor farmers market every Sun 9-2. Great organic fruits, veggies, breads, pastas, local food stands, art & crafts, flowers and more.
Several take outs... including Mexican, Chinese, Italian, bagel shop and sports bar all less than a block away.
Wonderful locally owned shopping including book stores, boutiques, cafes, art galleries, restaurants, not to be missed.
Get out and explore La Jolla. Be sure to enjoy the "Bike Route" signs that will guide up you down to Pacific and Mission Beach.
Owner's Map of Windansea Community
I grew up in San Diego but moved to the Rockies over 25 years ago. The beach has always moved my soul. One of my earliest childhood memories is going to Windansea Beach as a little girl with my family. This cottage is a welcome retreat where I rest, relax and rejuvenate from everyday life. Owning this charming home has been one of the best things I have ever done for living life to its fullest and staying connected with family, friends and everything that San Diego has to offer.

We had such a great time at the Nautilus home. It was perfect for us and I still can’t get over how much thought was put into every detail of the house. They were all top-notch.
