The rocky shore of Windansea Beach is perhaps best known for its beautiful scenery and surf breaks created by underwater reefs.

Stroll down to the white sand beaches and lay out in front of the sandstone rocks for a relaxing day at the beach.

Clean and comfortable

Very clean property and well stocked with kitchenware. The backyard is lovely. We enjoyed everything about this place except for the inability to turn off the porch and yard lights, which were so bright in the bedroom that we couldn't sleep and had to drape a dark blanket over the blinds.

La Jolla small family getawY

Beautiful property for a relaxing time. The place is nicely appointed wjth kitchen needs, beach chairs, umbrella and blankets. Air conditioning worked well and needed at times. Backyard is gorgeous and comfortable for eating, reading and relaxing. Small mixup at check-in was taken care of immediately by host. My daughter slept on nice pull out couch. A family of four with small kids would be comfortable here. .5 mile walk to the beach. Would definitely stay again

Nice set up

This place is very modern and nicely set up/decorated. The neighborhood was relaxing and very quiet. It is managed by a property rental company which hinders the real time communication you get with other properties that have an owner that can respond faster. I ran into a few hiccups that weren’t answered until the next day or after I found a resolution.
