La Jolla Shores Beach Bungalow w/ Balcony, 2 Units in 1 & Steps from the Beach!
This freshly decorated condo, is the epitome of beach living. It is the perfect spot for your family or group to kick back and relax to truly enjoy the laid back La Jolla Shores vibe. Just a couple blocks from one of the most beautiful coastlines & family friendly beaches in the world, this La Jolla Shores hideaway has everything your group could need for a La Jolla beach adventure. Have two groups? This condo has two separate kitchenettes & entrances to accommodate each groups' privacy.
THE SPACE The "Windansea" Beach Bungalow at La Jolla Shores has recently been completely redecorated with a clean, modern, beach aesthetic. The condo has been designed with two separate entrances, and two separate living areas (kitchenette, living room, bathroom) that are joined in the middle, so that if there are two groups travelling together, each can have their own privacy if desired while still being able to easily connect with the other group. Alternatively, they flow together easily, if one family/group wants to spread out in the entire area.
The front living area has a separate bedroom with closet & King size bed. The back living area has an open concept with living room area, kitchenette & King size bed all open to each other. The back living area can be closed off completely from the front area, if your group would prefer it that way, or left open to flow easily through each side. Both living areas consist of a living room with ample seating including swivel chairs, a sofa that pulls out into a queen size bed, large TV with cable and Roku, kitchenette & full bathroom with marble clad, walk in shower. There is free Wifi throughout the condo.
The kitchenettes each have a microwave, sink, full/apartment size refrigerator/freezer, toaster oven, Keurig coffee maker & electric kettle. There is also a propane BBQ grill available on the front deck with utensils.
There is a large deck off of the front living area which has an ocean view and overlooks Avenida de la Playa. The deck is private only to your group and has a comfortable/cushioned seating area, sun lounger and propane BBQ grill.
We have boogie boards, beach toys, umbrella, beach towels & beach chairs available for your use. We also have a small selection of board games to occupy your time when you aren't out exploring the area!
GUEST ACCESS The entire condo will be available and private to your group while you are there.
It is important to note that the condo is on the second story of the building, therefore you will need to be able to climb one flight of stairs to access the condo.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE Please note that the La Jolla Shores Hideaway is above a restaurant and right in the middle of the main part of La Jolla Shores, so there can be some background noise and music heard from the restaurant while it is open and people walking down the street. It isn't extremely loud but is definitely audible. The restaurant is open from 11am- 10PM.
Also note, that both kitchen areas are kitchenettes, so there is no stove or full size oven. We do have toaster ovens, microwaves, full size refrigerators, BBQ grill, electric kettles, etc. for cooking, warming, & storing meals.
Also, please note that two of the beds are sofa beds. One is in the main living room which is separate from the other bedrooms and one is in the same space as the second bedroom as it is set up like a studio apartment.
The Condo is on the 2nd story of the building, therefore all guests will need to be able to climb one flight of stairs to access the condo. There is no elevator available.
As required by the city of San Diego, all our guests must review and comply with San Diego's Good Neighbor Policy. We will be requesting for your email address in order to send this document as well as the stay packet prior to your stay.

Amazing location in the center of the cutest street in La Jolla. This gem is a quick walk to the beach and surf and is incredibly clean and comfortable.
The thorough instructions were very helpful. The place was great and the extra TV features were nice. Stephanie was very flexible with adjusting our stay when our work schedule changed.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. We needed to stay somewhere pet friendly while our house was being painted. We loved the location and proximity to the beach. There are many restaurants nearby which was very convenient. The host was very responsive and the check in was very easy. I would highly recommend this property.
The property was perfect for us. It was very pet friendly, quiet bedrooms, walking distance to everything, nice clean comfortable space, and Stephany was very helpful and responsive.
The property was exactly as described, and very clean. The location was perfect for our girl's weekend and the property was perfect for relaxing and sleeping all of us. The host was responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
This property is perfect spot for a fun family beach adventure! The property is clean and comfortable. Being close to the beach, restaurants and shops made it a perfect location!
If you like LaJolla Shores, this is a great place to stay. We liked being next to places to go and eat and then only a very short walk to the beach. The balcony overlooking all the action was fun.
Wow... this property is immaculately clean, comfortable and steps from the beach, restaurants and shopping! This is the best location and value you will find in the La Jolla Shores area. Highly recommend!
Enjoyed being in the action of La Jolla Shores. The property has everything needed and you are steps away to eat any meal, treats as well as a little market to pick up any item you may have forgotten.
Everything about this place was absolutely perfect for our girls trip. Possibly the best beachy, surfy, Cali vibe available anywhere. It’s a short block and a half to the beach, surrounded by restaurants, surf shops, general merch stores and shopping. We loved sitting on the deck watching the vibrant street scene below, Mount Soledad dead ahead and the ocean to the right. The place was well stocked with coffee/fixings, full size shampoo, conditioner, body wash and blow dryer in each bathroom, extra pillows, beach supplies (towels, a few chairs and a wagon). Stephany was a great host who answered every dumb question we had immediately. 10 out of 10! Can’t wait to come back.

Great property right in the mix of La Jolla Shores. Restaurant downstairs. Beach is a 3 min walk. Shops, other restaurants and market/general store all within a 60 second stroll; literally. Stephany (owner) is responsive and courteous. Quintessential "beach place". Clean and updated.
My family and I absolutely loved this rental property. It had a great amount of space, extremely comfortable beds and very clean. I think the best part about it was we have two teenagers and so they felt they had their own separate living quarters, which was great for them and us as well! We loved staying right in the heart of LJ Shores. Stephany was great to communicate with and we would definitely stay here again!

Great pet friendly place. However, it sits on a street that is pedestrian only making initial access to the property difficult. You are moving "stuff" from a distance. There is NO way to pull up, even briefly, in front of the property. There is an alleyway in the back, but the steps are pretty shaky.Also the "restaurant" is open air and a very popular bar in the area. It's noisy until 10:30 p.m. (as in music and talking). Sleeping with the windows open in an option only from night owls.

HI Patricia,
I'm sorry you had a hard time getting into the property. There is actually an entire area in the street, that is formed by the end of the pedestrian area that is easily pulled up next to for a brief drop off/pick up. I believe it is visible in the pictures on the listing and this description is in the stay information that is sent to all of our guests. I am sorry that you did not see this.
Additionally, I assure you that the back stairs are not shaky. I use them regularly to carry up portable a/c units, large bags of supplies and laundry, etc. I've never felt them shake. They are very solid. I always try to understand where a guest is coming from in order to improve so I even tried running up and down the stairs with the intention of testing to see if I could find a shaky spot and I cannot determine where the stairs are shaky. I do wish that this had been communicated to me so that I could help clarify the pull up area and be able to determine where you were experiencing shakiness in the stairs. Perhaps, I could have improved your stay and future stays of other guests.
Finally, the listing does note that there is noise from the restaurant below. I am sorry if you did not see this either before booking the property. The area is pretty peaceful much of the time. La Jolla, in general, is very sleepy into the night and in the morning hours. The restaurant opens at 11 am and closes at 10 pm but as I say in the listing and in the stay information, there may still be some noise as the patrons and restaurant staff finish up. The restaurant is not allowed to make noise after 11. Although there is noise from the restaurant, we have had many guests also note that they didn't find it bothersome. We do have minisplit a/c and heating units in each room of the apartment as well so that you are able to control them individually and keep the windows closed for your comfort. We also provide noise machines in each room and ear plugs if you find that you need additional help to sleep comfortably.
