My husband and I decided not to do the typical tropical honeymoon and opted to stay in my home state of California and make a little trip down the coast. Looking back, we could not be happier with our decision! La Jolla was beautiful and this little place had everything we needed. The location is perfect-- we brought our bikes and rode everywhere. A morning walk down to the beach took no more than 2 minutes. Windansea Cottage was clean, the perfect size for 2 people, and tastefully decorated. We are so happy now that we decided to do a more relaxed honeymoon and would definitely go back and stay there if we ever get the chance!Recommended for: Girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

We had a weekend getaway at yhe Windansea cottage from Phoenix. With our average temperature here lately being around 110, it was a great relief to get to the pleasant weather of San Diego. We brought our 2 young boys ( almost 3 year old and 3 month old). Cathleen was impressed and said we were brave for bringing them, and after the weekend was over, we agree- it may be a couple years before we attempt it again! The location was awesome. We loved the idea that we could walk to the beach, especially with the boys taking naps, etc. It was nice to go down the hill in the morning, and then go back to the cottage for lunch and naps, and then return to the beach afterwards and not have to deal with parking at a beach in the middle of the day. The cottage was very nice too-very clean and the instant we walked in gave us the feel of a fun beach vacation. We'll definitely be back!Recommended for: Girls getaway, tourists without a car, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.

What a perfect retreat for us from winter's bite! This location is perfectly situated to beach and 'city' activities. The cottage is immaculate and charmingly decorated as the owner advertises. With a beautiful and fully stocked kitchen, we had to force ourselves to go out for meals sometimes. We couldn't have been happier with our choice and hope to return next year.Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, people with disabilities.

We are telling everyone about this Windansea cottage hideaway. Besides being well-appointed to PERFECTION, its neighborhood location is great: walkable, close to the beach, and a short hop to our favorite places in LaJolla. (Gingerbread pancakes at LaValencia, and dinner at George's on the Cove) The bikes are great! Be sure to ask for directions to the nearby bike path. We will stay here again whenever we come back to LaJolla. Absolutely precious.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

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.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

"PB is about 4-5 miles to from the cottage. For a delicous breakfast, lunch or dinner visit JRDN resturant in the hip hotel Tower 23. The lobster club is a must try. Request an outside table on the ocean front patio is the weather is nice! Reservations are a must on busy weekend evenings. "

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2006
About the owner: 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.
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 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.
