About this cottage rental
This precious, enchanting cottage is set on a quiet side street less than half a block to one the most beautiful beaches in the world and the legendary gem of the Southern California—Windansea Beach. The home is furnished by the internationally renown designers/owners. It offers relaxed cozy comfort with sophistication and simplicity of classic modern design with distinct European flavor.
It features top quality appointments from original artworks to luxurious details. The elegantly spacious, light filled, airy space opens through the wall of French doors to the sun-filled intimate tropical patio-paradise. Perfect for a romantic enjoyment of a couple or two-to-four persons.
The home is steps from the shore of Windansea Beach, known for its spectacular scenery, sand and soft rock formations and turquoise-translucent surf breaks created by underwater reefs. The beach with its’ grass-roofed shack that dates back to the early 1940's and is designated as a National Landmark, enjoys a colorful history involving the quintessential California surfing and beach culture integrated into the exclusive high-end community of La Jolla.
Sandstone rocks act as partitions along the beach offering a secluded atmosphere for picnics, intimate gatherings and sunbathing. The magnificent sunsets bring to a peak this unforgettable, phenomenal-and romantic spectacle. It has been immortalized in many an account including the Tom Wolf’s famous book; The Pump House Gang.
La Jolla means ‘A Gem’ and it’s been known as that for more than one good reason. A leisurely walk or a short ride from the cottage takes you to the La Jolla village with landmarks and attractions like the La Valencia Hotel, Seals’ Beach, great restaurants including the celebrated George’s on the Cove, the Contemporary Art Museum and much more. This is a special place that retains its intimacy while providing a range of memorable, high-quality experiences.

This is an older unit, a short walk from the stairs to the Windansea beach. It is well furnished but not updated. Bathroom has tub with overhead shower. Unit is reached via an alley and does not front on street. Large overhead skylights in bedroom. Portable AC in bedroom is quite noisy. TV is more inconsistent than most, but host added channel that we requested.

We come to La Jolla every January and stay at Windansea. This is the best place we have stayed so far! Perfect location, designated parking, quiet and private. Just be sure to bring a sleep mask, the skylights in the bedroom can disturb light sleepers!

This was a fabulous VRBO! Very clean, cozy and well equipped with an easy check in/out process. Location is perfect (close to windansea surfing and La Jolla, Birdrock neighborhoods). Both the owner and property manager were in touch throughout the stay.

This was a very nice, light and airy rental with a private, cute tropical-themed courtyard. The walk to the beach was only 5 minutes tops. I would take my coffee down there in the morning and meditate to the waves crashing in. Very convenient to San Diego sights, seal beach, Mt. Soledad, etc. My only suggestion would be to have a code for check-in to facilitate the process. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone staying in the San Diego/ La Jolla area!

We were very happy to have a quick walk to the beach at sunset. And, we frequently walked to La Jolla Cove to the north and Bird Rock area to the south. The furnishings are fine and the skylights in the master bedroom are marvelous, especially on a warm day because they open for ventilation. The private, locked entrance is greatly appreciated as is the dedicated parking. All in all the price is fair.

Good La Jolla Location
The property is nice and only a 1/2 block from the beach, but it's a bit worn. A cute courtyard. The bed was very comfortable in a large bedroom. The kitchen and bath work, but are original to the structure and could use an updating. We had a problem working the living room TV. (Only could get LG programming). Aside from these minor issues, we really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely casita in great location
My husband and I loved staying in this bright, clean, comfortable place. The casita had everything we needed and wanted for our stay. The outdoor space is perfect for enjoying San Diego weather and the location is perfect for a quick beach walk or a day at the beach. The pictures on the listing are just what it looks like. We enjoy walking, so a walk to the "Children's Pool" to see the seals or to the retail area of La Jolla (we especially like Warwick's) or to Bird Rock were fun. Communication with the owner and property manager was quick and easy. Definitely 5 star.

Beach vibe!
If you love the beach, marine life, great restaurants, and a beautiful walking neighborhood, this is the place for you! You can hear the surf while enjoying coffee on the patio in the morning, and the incredible sunset each night at the beach just two blocks away. The seals, seabirds, sufers, and La Jolla's many beaches are all nearby. The cottage is spacious for two people, or a small family. Many amenities are provided, including a stocked kitchen, soaps/lotion, beach supplies, bikes, a good parking spot right outside, and a welcoming property manager. The furniture and bed are comfortable and the area is very quiet. We look forward to returning!

Walk to Everything
Wonderful neighborhood, as quiet as can be, but just steps from La Jolla Blvd. and steps in the other direction to Windansea Beach. The property was meticulously clean, and the linens top - notch. The rooms were all much larger than they appear in the listing. A real wonderful base for exploring the area.

Perfect Location
This was a wonderful cozy place for the three of us while in La Jolla. Location was great for walking and also for quick access to San Diego sites south or north toward Torrey Pines. Quiet surrounding and had everything we needed. Really enjoyed the stay.

Perfect Vacation Spot
Our family of 4 loved this rental. The place had everything we needed, including sand castle equipment for our toddler. With 2 adults, 1 teen, and a toddler, we had just the right amount of space and didn't feel crowded. Communication with the property manager was spot on. We loved that we could take a short walk to the beach. Looking forward to a future visit.

Beautiful, safe vacation cottage
We had concerns about the safety of taking a vacation during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Lovely Beach Cottage turned out to be the ideal place. It was very clean, quiet, comfortable and airy; we kept the windows and French doors open and ceiling fans on so there was plenty of air circulation and no need for A/C. We able to avoid crowds and never had to enter any other buildings during our stay. Catherine, the property manager, thoroughly answered all our questions and concerns before we arrived, and we felt very safe the entire time we were there. We brought our own food and took advantage of the well-equipped kitchen to prepare all our meals. We enjoyed walking on the uncrowded Windansea Beach as well as reading and people-watching while relaxing on the beach chairs and umbrella that were provided. We had fun taking long walks on the nearby scenic Fay Avenue biking/walking trail. We especially liked spending time enjoying the fabulous La Jolla summer weather outdoors on the small patio filled with beautiful tropical plants and flowers.

Perfect for two
We loved our stay here! It was exactly as the pictures and description showed, and the perfect size for me and my husband. Very private, yet close to the beach and restaurants. Easy walk to downtown La Jolla. The only suggestion I'd give is to have a few games (cards, dominoes, etc.) available as there was only chess, and possibly Netflix as an option. The house had beach chairs, umbrella and towels available for use. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place close to the beach
What a great place to stay for us while we were in the San Diego area. La Jolla is a great little town and the Beach Barber has everything we needed for our stay. We rode the bikes that were provided to the farmers market, could walk to dinner and shopping, and the tavern around the corner was a great place to catch a drink at night. We had one minor issue and it was addressed immediately. Cathleen, the property manager, is super responsive and great to deal with. Overall we really enjoyed our time!

Nice stay
Catherine, the property manager, was very helpful.
As always, any place near Windansea is perfect. And walking to anything in the Village is easy.
The apartment was very clean and included all of the necessities.
The only thing that we suggest is a better use of the patio. A flat surface, usable table and chairs and removal of the bikes would help.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would return .

A terrific two week stay
This is a small cottage but very well furnished with simple but comfortable furniture and clean lines. Lots of light from windows and skylights. Exceptionally clean. Location is excellent, a half block from beach and walkable to grocery, restaurants and downtown La Jolla. Was great to have off-street parking as the street can be crowded.
The garden/patio is small and the small table and chairs don’t lend themselves to spending comfortable time there. But that is the only (and mild) complaint we had.

Cozy cottage, great location
Two of the four days we were in town coincided with torrential rains so we were much more house bound than we planned. That said, the cottage was a cozy place to hang out with our five-year old while we listened to and watched the crazy storm outside.
The bed was comfortable and the shower was good. The decor was tasteful and the kitchen was equipped enough to make meals. The location was great and it was nice to have a dedicated parking space. It was also super quiet for sleeping.
We were very happy with the accommodations. The only suggestion we had would be to have a flashlight or candles available for emergencies. It was no fault of the owner, but the power went out for a while during the storm.

Cute and close to the beach!
Really cute little apartment tucked between an alley and nautilus street. Just a couple blocks from a really nice beach. Beach chairs and towels were provided. The AC unit in the bedroom worked well and was great for the hot day we had. Management was very nice and helped with any minor problems we encountered. I would recommend

Pretty little property close to beach in quiet neighborhood
Very well appointed with everything you'd need to spend a few weeks or a weekend. Super clean and comfy.
A few things were misleading... the courtyard is very small and uneven, so it's very wobbly. My biggest disappointment was the bike. They are NOT the bikes pictured and were rusted, in poor condition with flat tires, covered in cobwebs. No gears, no hand brakes, not even a helmet. I had to wash and inflate the tires, and then take one bike to have a leak repaired. I had indicated that biking would be my form of transportation for the three weeks I was here and really wish the owner had provided the bikes in the picture, or something a little less beat-up.
A note on the neighborhood: this is a highly desirable real estate area, and a lot of the houses are being torn down and reconstructed. There were at least 5 houses on the street under construction at this time of year. If you're planning a trip for January/February/March, you should keep this in mind. The carpenters next door started work at 7.
Aside from that, it was a lovely place to stay.

Charming place, great location
Rental is a three minute walk to the beach. Good coffee shops three minutes in the other direction. Was perfect for my wife, eight month old and me. We will be back! Water pressure in the shower could definitely have been better but no other complaints.
