This historic property (site of the La Jolla/Pacific Beach Electric Railway in the early 20th century) is surrounded by six acres of permanent open space. The property fronts on a paved path for bicycling and walking, so there is no street noise. Guests have their own private spacious covered patio with an outdoor dining table and chairs as well as a cushioned chaise lounge, softly lit for evening relaxation. Just a few steps up from the patio is a hot tub for two under a custom-designed redwood enclosure with tiny lights, equipped with two soft terry robes and beach towels. A classic double hammock provides a peaceful, relaxing experience.An outdoor fountain offers a serene background soundscape.

The property is on a gentle slope. Guests enter through a short private path. Spend time on another short path up the hill to a secluded platform and bench with an ocean view. At the base of the property, there is an alcove in the foliage with two adirondack chairs and a small table, perfect for morning coffee or tea. The entrance to the house is secured by electronic key pads and keys.

Lovely property, wonderful hosts! The hosts were easy to communicate with from the time we booked until the time we were home (and they found my missing sunglasses!). The property is in a great location for all things La Jolla and San Diego. Provided bikes were awesome, we took the trail to downtown for breakfast one morning. The beach is an easy ten minute walk. Don't underestimate having dedicated parking either, especially after a day of sightseeing and parking spot hunting in the rest of the city. Overall, a wonderful stay for my daughter and I for a long weekend!

The property was charming and as described. We loved the location and the privacy. Trish and Justin were both friendly and responsive to our questions. The attention to detail was impressive - kitchen was well-appointed, firewood was provided, there were plenty of towels, pillows, toilet paper, and drinks and snacks awaited us. There was nothing that we needed that we couldn't find.

During our month long vacation in California, our stay at the Windandsea bungalow was a perfect choice! Trish was very welcoming - we arrived to a basket of snacks on the dining table and various drinks in the refrigerator, which we appreciated after our drive down from Los Angeles. Her kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything needed to prepare meals. When vacationing and eating at restaurants, it is sometimes enjoyable to prepare a meal and enjoy eating "at home". This was what was so great about Windandsea Bungalow - it felt like home. Our own private patio and hot tub, an array of beach chairs, beach towels, umbrella and even some beach toys if you have kiddos! The beach was just minutes away by car, or walking if you wanted to get some exercise. The location was very convenient for traveling to San Diego and points north. We enjoyed trips to The San Diego Zoo, hiking in Torrey Pines State Park, San Diego Safari Park and many other local spots while staying at WindandSea Bungalow. Truly a California style beach home with loads of charm!

A Rare Find

Beautiful little 1 bedroom quaint cottage nestled in the woods. Quiet location in LaJolla close to Windansea beach and right along the local bike path. Private backyard outdoor dining with hot tub and small seating area with bench to view sunsets. The owner and her son are very nice, keep to themselves but are very attentive when needed. Loved it!

Wonderful

This place is so dreamy and relaxing — it’s our favorite place we’ve ever stayed. Loved the fireplace and hot tub, as well as cooking in the kitchen. There was some rain during our visit to La Jolla which made our stay here feel extra cozy, but we were able to take the bikes out during a break in the rain which was an incredible way to explore the area. Trish and Justin are A+ hosts — super kind and responsive. Don’t pass up an opportunity to stay here! We hope to come back soon.

Late February stay

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Windnsea Bungalow. As others have mentioned, the place is even nicer than shown in the photos. The lush landscaping is gorgeous, and the outside seating areas are well planned and executed. The bed and furniture are super comfy; we even made good use of the fireplace. Trish, Justin and their dog Daisy are fabulous hosts. They think of everything. The binder in the bungalow is full of useful and interesting information. It was such a pleasure to stay with them and hope to have an opportunity to visit again.

Amazing

We have enjoyed our stay and would love to come back. The house was super clean, the kitchen had nice flatware, plates, glasses, dishes; everything you need to have a nice dinner. The patio is cozy and comfy. We had enjoyed our breakfast and late dinner there. The bonus was a jacuzzi. I also would like to mention the location of the house is in a very quite lovely neighborhood and close to everything. I walk to the beach in 5 minutes, to my favorite hot yoga studio on Pearl street in 20 minutes or you can drive if you want.

Excellent, charming, wonderful host

Charming cozy house. Fully equipped w a hot tub, full kitchen and the best hot shower/water pressure. We brought our kids (20 months and 5) and Trish was super accommodating. While it’s kid friendly I wouldn’t describe it as a place for kids but if you’re just venturing out for the day and coming back for nap/bed it’s totally fine for that. The area is beautiful and there’s ton of restaurants and beaches nearby. Overall was a perfect experience save for the crazy rain (which isn’t exactly Trishs fault ;). Great host, great description, great house and area. 5/5.

About the host

Hosted by Trish Stanley

Host profile image
I'm a couples' therapist by profession, and love the freedom that being self-employed gives me, to play with my schedule, plan travel, and take off on adventures. My next trip will be a live aboard boat trip to the Channel Islands off the coast of Santa Barbara for hiking, snorkeling, birdwatching and kayaking.
I have always loved entertaining on a small intimate scale, and now, hosting this vacation rental gives me the opportunity to welcome guests from all over the world. I've always loved connecting people with what they are looking for, and now I get to recommend spectacular hikes, the most perfect local beach, tucked away restaurant gems, art venues, Kayak adventures and more.

Why they chose this property

I have lived in this amazing setting for 44 years. The front house, where I live, used to be a train station on the La Jolla-Pacific Beach Electric Railway over a hundred years ago. The Bike Path which runs in front of the property (instead of a street) was the right of way for the railroad tracks. Some of the original Monterey Cypress trees still provide shade! The back bungalow was built in the postwar period, and has a mix of mid-century modern and craftsman styles in its ambiance. Water features, wild bird and hummingbird feeders, a few carefully placed wind chimes: all contribute to a comforting, restorative environment.

What makes this property unique

What's really special about this property is that there is only one neighbor on this side of the bike path. To the north and east we are surrounded by permanent open space. And then, it's only a two-minute drive, five-minute walk and 3 blocks to the world famous Windansea Beach. Champion surfers claim the surf breaks here, but there's room to swim, boogie board or rest and read in one of the sheltered sandy spots between the large sandstone formations.
On-site are an ocean view bench for sunset watching, a new double hammock with pillow for daydreaming, a alcove under a tree with two cushioned Adirondack chairs for morning coffee and a private covered patio with a teak table and chairs and a cushioned chaise. I am tickled when guests rave about the quiet, the feeling of spaciousness and the unique ambiance of Windansea Woods!
