Location: Windansea Community, La Jolla, San Diego County, California, USA (25 minutes from downtown San Diego and the airport.)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Den, 3 Baths (Sleeps 7-8)
NEVER BEFORE AVAILABLE YEAR ROUND: A Unique property- a combination of the original La Jolla Beach cottage that has been enlarged and modernized without losing its historic charm. Being just one house behind the famous Wind'nSea beach (listed by Men's Journal as one of the most famous in the world) allows the ocean view and falling asleep to the sound of the surf with greater privacy.
The entire property is about 10 feet above street level, promoting privacy. There are 2 full sun decks and a shaded patio that is cool and quiet; it is comfortable for outdoor dining or entertaining, and has a soft tub spa. The house remains cool from the ocean breezes, making air-conditioning unnecessary.
The upstairs master suite has its own deck that is a spectacular place to watch the sun set over the ocean, an indoor "crow's nest" for reading or sunset viewing, a fireplace and comfortable seating with a view of the garden and the ocean. This area is large enough that there could be an sprivate and separate area for a small child to be near parents or for an infant crib or pack'nplay.
The den opens out onto the patio, and you can enjoy music from the stereo anywhere in the house. The sofa in the den opens out to a Queen size bed. Since the room can be closed off, this room serves as the fourth bedroom.
The 3rd bedroom currently has a very comfortable single bed, but there is room for a comfy mattress or blow-up mattress. It could sleep 2-3 children easily, or be a lovely private space for an adult.
The kitchen in fully equipped as I love to cook. There is a BBQ and a choice of outside eating areas, either in full sun or shade. There are more cookbooks than you will ever be able to use.
The neighborhood has wonderful walks. The old "Village" of La Jolla is just over a mile away, with its charm and lovely restaurants and shops. Bird Rock has a variety of small neighborhood restaurants and stores, and is about a 5-10 minute walk. Scripps Aquarium and the Salk Institute are also nearby. The park at the Cove has free Sunday afternoon concerts. San Diego, with its famous Zoo, Wild Animal Park, Sea World,Museums and many theatres is 20 - 30 minutes away.
Wonderful sports activities abound:
San Diego boasts over 65 golf courses, and its most famous, Torrey Pines, is a municipal courses, just 15 minutes away. There are several free tennis courts within a mile.
At WindnSea you can swim, sun, walk, roam tide pools, BBQ, boogey board, surf and kayak.
Boating, sailing, jet-skiing, wind-surfing and fishing is nearby.
