We have stayed in this area a couple of times and loved this property. The proximity to the beach is amazing.The yard and hot tub were amazing. The house supplied us enough room to move around, and with a two-year-old with us, it allowed us quiet rooms for naps and sleep.

Despite how old the house is, it’s very clean and the garden is incredible!! We loved relaxing in the yard among an abundance of flowers and beautiful landscaping. The location can’t be beat within a short walk of a great beach and the yard adds to the whole experience. Parking on the road gets tricky depending on the time of day and proximity to neighbors can be interesting but it was worth it! We loved our time in this darling updated beach house!

We visited with 6 adults, so it was a crowded stay - but it you're wondering, it can be done! The house and the host were fantastic. We loved the design inside and out. It has a beautiful garden that I didn't even fully expect from the photos. We had an issue with AC the first night and the host fixed it right away the next day. The kitchen is well stocked with supplies for cooking for a big group and has lots of storage space for food. Both bathrooms were clean and nice. The hot tub control screen didn't work but you can hit the jets button and they work great. It's easy to walk to many shops and restaurants. There's even a friendly cat who visits outside sometimes. Warning that the beach closest to the house is risky for swimming. I saw at least 6 people rescued by lifeguards while I was there. It's a beautiful spot for lounging on the sand or watching the sunset at the top of the stairs, but for swimming I recommend La Jolla Cove or Shores.

We had an amazing stay in this perfect beach cottage! Lots of charm in the house itself and it’s very tastefully decorated, too. Beds were comfy and the house had everything we needed. The location was fantastic- a quick walk to the beach in one direction (we loved watching the surfers) and a quick walk for coffee in the other direction. Owners were very easy to work with. We’d stay again in a heartbeat!

Excellent stay

Fantastic neighborhood and such a neat cottage house, so close to the beach, walking distance to an excellent coffee shop and market place store, 7-11 etc but otherwise very quiet and tranquil. We had a great stay and everything was as advertised. The house is charming, not new but that is the charm. We loved it!

Our host was amazing and very responsive to messages. Beautifully restored cottage with everything we needed for a long weekend stay. Centrally located for everything we wanted to do (the zoo, Torrey Pines, USS Midway, Coronado Island). Very quiet neighborhood just a short walk from the beach and a short walk or drive to SO many restaurants. We felt very safe there and had windows and doors open to enjoy the gorgeous weather. The house was spotless! We would stay here again without hesitation!

We loved this cottage by Windansea beach. It is a very cozy comfortable home. The location is incredible. The house is a very short walk to the beach. Within a block there are several great spots to eat and a very nice market . It is also an easy 15 minute walk to Pearl street with many more dining options including an excellent fish market, an Afghan restaurant and much more. A really sweet cottage in a great beach neighborhood.
