World famous Windansea Beach House- DISCOUNT LISTED

This was the perfect house for our family of five! Owners are great and have everything you need from bikes to boogie boards. Windansea Beach is a 2 min walk down the street. We’ll definitely be back!!

First, I'd like to say that overall, our stay was great. We were celebrating my wife's birthday with some friends and we had a blast. The home was very cozy, had everything you could need for the beach, kitchen, bedding, bathroom, etc. The patio area/backyard was great for having morning coffee. We didn't use the hot tub but it was there and the water was hot! We happened to come during a week when San Diego was experiencing some unusually hot weather, and since the house only has an air conditioner in the main bedroom, the rest of the home was rather uncomfortable, especially to sleep. Once it cooled off later in the week, comfort became much better, but I still wish the rest of the house had AC since the humidity was in the 80% range the entire time we were there. My biggest issue with the home were the ants. They were all over the place and even somehow found their way into the refrigerator. I have seen other reviews mention the ants, so I would encourage the owners to have regular pest control rather than taking reactive measures to this issue. It didn't bother me enough to where I wouldn't rent this house again, I would. The location was amazing. It is literally a leisurely 3 minute walk from the beach. Parking can be challenging, as the only parking is in the street - but we were always able to find a spot, even if it was a little bit down the street from the house. Another thing to be aware of is that the owners live in the house behind the rental. The yards connect through a gate and you will sometimes find the friendly owners walking their dog or watering the plants of the rental house. If you are looking for complete privacy (indoors and out), keep this in mind. I would like to reiterate that despite these small drawbacks, we still really enjoyed the home and our stay. I almost never give 5 star reviews (my mind really has to be blown beyond all reasonable expectations for that to happen). This home still exceeded my expectations, and I would stay here again.

The beach house was comfortable, clean, and charming, and came well stocked with everything you would need for a beach vacation.

A few quibbles. Most homes on the street do not have driveways or garages. As a result, there's a lot of competition for street parking, and open spaces next to the house are infrequent. This is not the landlord's fault, but a warning to renters would be helpful. The front gate porch should be fixed. One side of it drags as you swing it open. Finally, a couple of the towels are frayed and should be replaced.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the house!

Loved our time spent in San Diego. The little, blue beach house was just perfect for our family. The location to the beach was wonderful. The hot tub was great. Parking was a little tough but doable, and 1 of the toilets didn’t flush very well, but we made things work and had an excellent time. The owners were very helpful and right onsite which is great. We will definitely stay at this property again!

Our two year old is still talking about "vacation house" and the ocean. We had an absolute blast in La Jolla/San Diego and this was the perfect place to stay as we explored the area. The location was so perfect- a quick walk to a beautiful beach, no traffic going to major attractions (San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Sea World), and a comfortable and relaxing beach house. We sat on the front porch for almost all our meals, enjoying the ocean breezes and relaxing. We never had trouble finding a parking spot despite there being only street parking, and we loved that we could take a long walk or a quick drive to restaurants, the grocery store, and to Children's Pool. The property was spotless (no idea how they can keep out all that sand but there was no sign of it), the listing was accurate, and there were so many amenities. Our daughter enjoyed discovering new books, toys, and stuffed animals. The owners were wonderfully kind to us throughout our booking process, going out of their way to show what truly wonderful people they are. We are so lucky to have found this wonderful place and if you wonder if it is as good as it sounds, it is! :)
