About this house rental
Great Fall and Winter Rates Recently Added!
Grand Neptune is a Mid-Century Modern architectural masterpiece, updated with modern amenities, curated for years by our family and now available for limited rental opportunities. Pictures do not do this home and the views from it justice. This is an extremely special retreat on one of the finest beaches in San Diego.
This home features 2,700 square-feet of versatile floor space on two levels, with three bedrooms and three full baths. It is ideal for a multi-generational family or two to three couples travelling together.
The main level of the home features two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The main level master suite comes complete with a walk in closet and a full en-suite bathroom, complete with separate shower and jetted tub. The second bedroom downstairs has a queen bed and is adjacent to a full bath with shower. The main level of the home also features the full gourmet kitchen, laundry, serene living area and a tv room, most with unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean.
The upstairs master bedroom is separated from the main level of the home and is accessible though the home's intimate courtyard and up a small flight of stairs. This room, to put it simply, is stunning. Views of the Pacific are unobstructed, the en-suite bathroom is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. In short, words simply cannot adequately describe what a serene and beautiful retreat this is.
With incomparable ocean views from the master bedroom and the living, dining and kitchen areas, guests can savor the natural beauty of La Jolla's Windansea Beach from just about every room in the house.
Glass doors open to fabulous wood decks, just steps from the beach; and a private stone patio with an outdoor fire pit and a hydrotherapy hot tub grace the backyard.
The state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with the finest appliances and gourmet details, suitable for entertaining a group or for preparing a quiet supper for two.
In the late 1960s, famed Southern California architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg designed this home in wood, glass and concrete, complementing the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Years later, San Diego's finest artisans, along with the talent of architect Yum Kee Fu, masterfully updated, renovated and decorated this amazing home into one of La Jolla's most luxurious homes.
PLEASE NOTE: We are very sorry, but this home does not accommodate events, parties or weddings of any size.
ADDITIONAL NOTE... Our neighbor property south has begun an extensive remodel. Though we are mitigating the impact of this project on our home, kindly be aware that there may be some construction noises during your stay. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Beautiful and unique setting with wonderful views of the Pacific . Perfect get away .

We recently spent close to a month at this stunning beach home in La Jolla, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty of the house. The interior is beautifully decorated. Every room was immaculately clean and well-appointed, providing everything we needed for a relaxing stay.
But the real magic happens outside. The outdoor area is simply breathtaking, with a spacious patio that overlooks the beach. We spent countless hours hanging out, people watching, enjoying the sound of the waves and the gentle ocean breeze. The view is absolutely unbeatable, especially during sunset. Every evening, we were treated to incredible sunsets, painting the sky with vibrant hues of orange, pink, and purple.
The location is perfect—just steps away from the beach, making it easy to take morning strolls along the shore or simply relax by the water. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, offering a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle, yet still close enough to enjoy all the dining and shopping that La Jolla has to offer.
Overall, this home provided an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, reconnect with nature, and enjoy beautiful sunsets, this is the place to be We can’t recommend it highly enough!

Beautiful home with a wonderful layout for entertaining and the views are just majestic! The hosts were 5 star plus during our entire stay. Thank you for sharing your fabulous home, we will see you next year!!!

An absolutely perfect stay for us. We were looking for a quiet oceanfront area during the holiday and to avoid all the fireworks that scare our mini poodles. Having the ocean waves as a backdrop definitely helps! The area is incredible with essentially a private beach where you can watch surfers enjoying the massive waves from sunrise to sunset. The front patio of the house is the ultimate hang out area to have a coffee or cocktail as you enjoy the refreshing breeze of the ocean. The house itself is a masterpiece! Well designed, well maintained, fully stocked, and everything functional. Geoff was an outstanding host with great communication, and he even provided us snacks & bottles of water at check in which was a nice surprise. Overall, I can't say enough positive things about the area, the house and Geoff. I would definitely recommend it to others, and I would definitely stay there again if available. Thank you for the opportunity, Geoff.

This home is one of the most beautiful, thoughtful, well equipped homes I have ever stayed in. Listening to the ocean all night was such a treat. The views cannot be explained well enough to do them justice, you will just have to go stay there yourself :)

I booked this house several months ago while planning for my wife's 60th birthday. When we arrived our friends surprised us at the airport. The next 3 days were absolutely amazing. This house was spectacular, every thing about it is planned and designed. We never wanted to leave there. Hot tub was great and the views are second to none. Close to everything and yet somehow quiet and peaceful. Thanks Jeoff for your kind hospitality and advise for the best food in the area. Wayfarer for breakfast, The taco stand and Rocky's hamburgers were a hit. Can't wait to return.

The property was as good as advertised. Unique home that was spotless. Incredible ocean views throughout. Steps from beach. 5-10 minute drive from anywhere you'd want to go in La Jolla. And, Geoff was easy to get a hold of and very helpful with check-in info.

This was perfect for a getaway with our adult children- plenty of room and so much nearby. The ocean is just steps away and made for constant people and surfer watching. Loved our stay!

A very special home in a fabulous location. I live nearby and rented the home for our extended family that were visiting for the holidays. They absolutely loved the home and amazing beach location. We hope to do it again soon.

This home is breathtaking. The views from the front of the house are perfect. The house itself has so many artistic details. We spent many moments taking in the ocean and snuggled into chairs reading and laughing at the table with a game night. Loved every minute.

Great experience! The host and his wife are very kind upon check in and through our entire stay. They were not only accommodating but also super helpful in giving us recommendation on where to shop and dine.
We loved the property as well, my husband really loved the books as they have a great book selection!
They have a full kitchen with everything you can think of… from the basic coffee machine to all the cooking seasons and utensils.
Only thing is bring your own toiletry as there were none provided.

Zen like interior and exterior. The owners were wonderful. Sitting outside on the ocean side patio eating breakfast at sunrise or dinner at sunset was magical.
Look forward to returning,

House was fantastic. Location is great, house is more beautiful than posting pictures. Opening windows and doors lets in great ocean breeze and sounds of crashing waves. Everything worked, no issues during stay….would definitely stay again.

What a special place! The views are stunning, the house is uniquely adorable, and the hosts could not be better! Loved their recommendations for dinner (especially Harry’s (diner) and George’s at the Cove (nice)). The little touches within the house are lovely if you can drag yourself off the patio overlooking the ocean. Definitely recommend!

This is an amazing and luxurious house, a very special place to stay. Jaw dropping ocean views and the constant sound of waves. Also a great place (WindanSea) to people dog/watch, see the expert surfers and an occasional dolphin (yep, we saw some!). Our small well behaved dog was also in heaven. Lots of beach walks and yummy local food. Thank you to the owners who obviously take care of this special vacation home. We hope to return!

Photos don’t do this property justice! The setting is picturesque- beautiful location on the ocean! The home is very clean and has everything you need. We enjoyed cooking in the well-stocked kitchen and the beds were very comfortable. You can’t beat the view and the close proximity to coffee shops, restaurants, and nearby Downtown SanDiego. The host was responsive and so accommodating! We will definitely be back! Thank you!

This home is a zen retreat with the ocean right at your finger tips.
We woke to the rolling waves and pro surf scene every morning., sipping our coffee by the pacific and marveling at the surfers abilities.
We enjoyed the private garden, deep spa-like hot tub & fire pit in the evenings.
The expanse of windows, fun Frank-Lloyd Wright architectural vibe and location made this stay a true 5 star experience.
5.0
The hosts were wonderful and made some great recommendations for places to eat and shop in the area. The home was comfortable and the perfect size for 4 adults to cook meals & enjoy the epic views. We really enjoyed the outdoor spa in the evenings. It was quite large and deep. We had a fun movie night as well. All around a great place to call home away from home!

Our 40th Anniversary celebration was a huge success due much in part to the wonderful accommodations. Located on the ocean, we were able to enjoy both the beach and the breathtaking sunsets. Moreover, its close proximity allowed us excellent access to the surrounding areas shops, bars and restaurants.
The place itself was clean and very well maintained and had everything one would want in their own home. I would most certainly recommend it to anyone looking to get away with family and/or friends!!

What a spectacular perch. Great people and sea watching from the deck. All the necessary amenities for a perfect stay..
Separate “crow’s nest” bedroom suite upstairs is wonderful and private. Great location and walkable to coffee shops & more. Architectural delights abound.

This home exceeded our expectations--it is simply stunning. In the last 12-months, we've stayed at the Four Seasons Sensei in Lanai, the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur (one of those ridiculously priced $3k/night waterfront cottages that accommodates only two people, but, admittedly, had an outdoor tub overlooking the ocean), and a 5-star lux resort in Santa Monica (that I can't remember the name, but it's beachfront and has a beautiful lobby) and this was, hands down, my favorite. It's decor is reminiscent of Post Ranch Inn, with abundance of warm woods and understated, low key elegance. The key differences being that this home could fit six people comfortably, accepted my senior 75-lb dog, and had the coolest art that is Asian influenced, including carved sliding doors that looked laser cut, so cool.
For renters: you might want to go out for lunch and stay in at dinner. After eating out the first night, we canceled all dinner reservations because we realized that one of the great pleasures of this home is sitting on your private patio, sipping wine/beer, and watching the sun slowly set over the Pacific, with the sound of crashing waves lulling you into contentment.
It's easy to eat in because they have an outdoor grill that has high heat, so grilling steaks and fish took little time (a gourmet grocery store is a four minute drive away) and a very nice range (easy to saute veggies and roast some potatoes). Our last night we Doordashed from Din Tai Fung (like room service, but way less pricey than 5-star resorts and you're eating top tier Taiwanese food).
We did have a plumbing issue that was addressed by Geoff (the owner) and Yolanda (the house manager), as promptly as they could, which was much appreciated. They're both very nice and responsive. We interacted with Yolanda more and she deserves a shout out as she is warm, knowledgable, detail-oriented and welcoming. Usually, plumbing issues would put a damper on my vacation, but this home is just that beautiful that once the issue was resolved, we just sipped wine and watch the sunset, and all was well with the universe again.
If I had any constructive feedback, it would be a few more coffee/tea mugs with handles and maybe a few beer glasses. And that's it to my "criticism."
Every person on this trip (my spouse and my in-laws) said nicely done booking this home. If we did not live so far away, I'd rent this house again in a heartbeat. It was worth every penny.

Beautiful property with amazing views. Beach is literally across the road. 2nd time staying and can’t wait to come back again! The design of this home is creative and fascinating. Walking distance to great coffee and gourmet market. Quick Uber to the cove for amazing dining.

Perfect View of a Perfect Beach
Everything went perfectly for our first stay with VRBO. The home met all of our expectations and exceeded them. The location and view of Windansea Beach could not have been better. We were about 8 minutes from the dining on Prospect Street (where parking is an adventure in and of itself) and close to CVS and VONS so that we could do our shopping. Close to Mission Beach and Torrey Pines. Absolutely a wonderful and very special place to stay.

Beachfront Luxury
Everything about this place was perfect for a long weekend getaway for my family (5 of us), and our Golden Retriever! The house is unique and luxurious with so much attention to detail and plenty of outdoor space for dining, grilling, people watching, staring at the beach and surfers, sitting around the fire pit or hanging out in the hot tub. The beautiful beach is just steps away! The location is perfect for exploring LaJolla, but honestly, we were so content hanging out at the house because it was just that beautiful! It is very clean and comfortable with high end accessories and appliances. Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were! We loved opening up all the doors to let feel and hear the ocean! A huge comfortable dog bed and bowl were provided for our 4-legged family member! Geoff and Ianna were great with communication and Yolanda made sure we had everything we needed upon check in. If you are considering staying here, just book it, you will not be disappointed!

Amazing Views - Instant Relaxation
If you want ocean views, this is your place. The completely private courtyard has a comfortable hot tub. You can easily people-watch, but it doesn’t feel busy, or like you’re on display in the house. We loved this house so much we booked it in February and then again in April.
Beach access is literally right across the street. The beach isn’t too rocky - nice sand beach.
The bathrooms have large showers and plenty of room to put all your toiletries etc.
The neighborhood is pretty quiet, but street parking can be hard to come by during the day. This home can easily accommodate a large SUV in the driveway, but you’d be hard pressed to park two cars side by side.
Sometimes, food delivery can take a long time, so order enough in advance if you plan to do that. There are many nice restaurants within short driving distance.
The beds are comfortable, but not quite as soft as we prefer (we have a Purple 3 at home). The couches and chairs could use a little more lumbar support, but there are plenty of pillows to find a comfortable seating position. And those are really the only things I’d change; and those are really just personal preference.
