The property was charming and as described. We loved the location and the privacy. Trish and Justin were both friendly and responsive to our questions. The attention to detail was impressive - kitchen was well-appointed, firewood was provided, there were plenty of towels, pillows, toilet paper, and drinks and snacks awaited us. There was nothing that we needed that we couldn't find.

Beautiful little 1 bedroom quaint cottage nestled in the woods. Quiet location in LaJolla close to Windansea beach and right along the local bike path. Private backyard outdoor dining with hot tub and small seating area with bench to view sunsets. The owner and her son are very nice, keep to themselves but are very attentive when needed. Loved it!

This place is so dreamy and relaxing — it’s our favorite place we’ve ever stayed. Loved the fireplace and hot tub, as well as cooking in the kitchen. There was some rain during our visit to La Jolla which made our stay here feel extra cozy, but we were able to take the bikes out during a break in the rain which was an incredible way to explore the area. Trish and Justin are A+ hosts — super kind and responsive. Don’t pass up an opportunity to stay here! We hope to come back soon.

Late February stay

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Windnsea Bungalow. As others have mentioned, the place is even nicer than shown in the photos. The lush landscaping is gorgeous, and the outside seating areas are well planned and executed. The bed and furniture are super comfy; we even made good use of the fireplace. Trish, Justin and their dog Daisy are fabulous hosts. They think of everything. The binder in the bungalow is full of useful and interesting information. It was such a pleasure to stay with them and hope to have an opportunity to visit again.

We have enjoyed our stay and would love to come back. The house was super clean, the kitchen had nice flatware, plates, glasses, dishes; everything you need to have a nice dinner. The patio is cozy and comfy. We had enjoyed our breakfast and late dinner there. The bonus was a jacuzzi. I also would like to mention the location of the house is in a very quite lovely neighborhood and close to everything. I walk to the beach in 5 minutes, to my favorite hot yoga studio on Pearl street in 20 minutes or you can drive if you want.

Excellent, charming, wonderful host

Charming cozy house. Fully equipped w a hot tub, full kitchen and the best hot shower/water pressure. We brought our kids (20 months and 5) and Trish was super accommodating. While it’s kid friendly I wouldn’t describe it as a place for kids but if you’re just venturing out for the day and coming back for nap/bed it’s totally fine for that. The area is beautiful and there’s ton of restaurants and beaches nearby. Overall was a perfect experience save for the crazy rain (which isn’t exactly Trishs fault ;). Great host, great description, great house and area. 5/5.

An interesting property in a lovely setting

My wife and I were celebrating our 55th wedding anniversary, so booked this property to give us a good base of exploring the city of La Jolla. We live in LA, but had never visited the city. The property was close to a beach with rocky shores and beautiful views. Our stay was marred somewhat by a loud, squabbling couple next door, and next door was VERY close. The hot tub was nice but closer to the angry duo. All communications with the owners were excellent. The house is multi-level, and rather smaller than the photos suggest. Also, it is older, vintage 1945, with all that that date may imply. We in the main liked it a good deal, and as a LA Jolla base it may be very good.

A Slice of Paradise

I have to say: writing this review is difficult -- because I don't want everyone else to know about this place. My wife and I booked our stay to celebrate our 30th Anniversary and we couldn't have picked a more amazing house with fantastic hosts in a beautiful city. Everything about our stay was perfect: from the amazingly beautiful grounds to the cozy nature of the house. Having the kitchen was fantastic and that add in a beautiful outdoor patio and grill with hot tub -- eating in was almost better than eating out in La Jolla. The property feels so secluded: at night it is peaceful and quite -- except for the owl who kept us company at night and he was most welcome. And while the house is tucked away it was very easy to access all La Jolla had to offer from beaches to museums to restaurants. And our hosts provided everything: beach chairs and umbrellas and also bikes to not only explore the nearby trail but get around town if we wanted. We enjoyed our stay so much -- it was difficult to leave. We are very excited to return.
