To the north of La Jolla is Torrey Pines, home to the Torrey Pines Golf Course, one of the nation's finest public golf courses and the site of the Farmers Insurance Open in late January or early February.

The bungalow
What a great little place, tucked in the back of the property, so no road noise. A short walk to the Ocean, with great views. This place was comfortable, clean and definitely had the vibe of a surf shack.

Amazing Place!
I can't say enough about our stay at this property. The location was perfect. We loved having access to a grill, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and boogie board. This was one of my favorite rentals of all time.

Surf and Sand
We fell in love the moment we walked in the door! Perfect for two people. We stayed for two weeks. We were able to walk to the beach every day sometimes twice. It’s a three minute walk. So beautiful! The kitchen was the perfect size, we cooked and ate in quite a few times. There is a little dishwasher, which was very helpful. They have a few different ways to brew coffee. The bed was very comfortable. Lots of pillows, including a memory foam in the closet. Laundry on site, outside. Very helpful! We use the outdoor shower after the beach. Indoor, the bathroom, shower and vanity set up is very nice! There is a book with lots of recommendations of things to do, places to eat, etc. We loved Carolines Seaside Café down by La Jolla Shores. We walked a lot, very nice area We recommend this place so much, and I hope we will be able to go back someday!

Amazing stay
The bungalow was just the right size for us and tucked away so it was quiet and away from the crowds- which is our preference. Karl was very friendly and helpful with excellent restaurant recommendations. We were extremely happy with the proximity to the beach and everything about our stay. We didn’t want to leave!

Incredibly cute and comfortable cottage - location, location, location!
My partner and I enjoyed a delayed honeymoon here. All amenities were as described. The hosts were welcoming, friendly, and respectful of privacy. Windansea Beach is a few minutes walk, with amazing views. Nighttime sleep is accompanied by waves sounds and little else. An absolute gem and excellent value. Thank you!

Great stay
Cottage is very well outfitted with everything we needed and seems brand new inside. Location is excellent, half a block walk down to the beautiful ‘Windansea’ beach. Restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance also.
Bikes and surfboards in picture belong to neighbor but there are beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie board available.
Hope to stay again

Lovely Break in Windansea
What a sweet little property! No AC in the unit, but plenty of shade, windows, and a super-powerful fan in the main room. My friend and I celebrated her birthday with sleeping in under the marine layer, reading and yoga-ing on the brick patio, and daily walks on the beach. We saw sea lions, pelicans, and bush squirrels. We did a lot of slowing down and this rental was the best possible "frame" to the weekend. Thank you!

Perfect Getaway
Absolutely perfect location. Steps to the beach. Easy walk to food, coffee, shopping. But really, the ocean is the draw. Friendly host. Everything you need is present. Comfy beach chairs and umbrellas. Tastefully decorated, space best suited for a couple. We will be back.

I could hear the waves
The cottage was sparkling clean and very quiet. Nicely equipped mini kitchen. I felt like I was one of the first to stay there and really enjoyed morning coffee and afternoon wine on my patio. Minor concerns- there was no table/chairs, the end tables were not handy to eat from; I don't think I liked not being contacted by agency to check on me. The contactless check in was too impersonal for this old lady and would have appreciated more info on the TV, I am in my 80's and not tech savvy. Despite these concerns, I would recommended it to my single/widowed friends and would like to come again.
