Windansea Retreat is part of a duplex that has been completely renovated both inside and out.
The Retreat is a one bedroom, one bath home that sits just blocks from the famous Windansea Beach.
Pulling up to the duplex, Windansea Retreat is located on the right-hand side with a very large driveway, native garden and private front patio. This unit has 1 parking spot on the far-left side of the driveway. The right-side tandem parking will be saved for the adjoining cottage.
Once inside through the Ocean Blue front door you will be delighted by the warmth and modern feel of the unit.
The living room has a comfortable, queen size sofa sleeper, Smart TV and dining area for 4.
The kitchen which has been fully renovated comes complete with dishwasher and all new appliances.
There is also a breakfast island that is perfect for a casual meal or glass of wine while chatting with the cook!
The bedroom features a King size bed with Smart TV and plenty of closet space.
The bathroom with its ocean blue tile in the walk-in shower, is modern, clean and very chic.
The piece de resistance is the back patio with outdoor kitchen.
Plenty of comfortable seating, a fire pit and lots of privacy for summer bbq's.
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.
If you feel like a short 15-minute walk you can find yourself in the heart of La Jolla Village amongst some of the finest restaurants San Diego has to offer as well as boutiques, galleries, yoga studios and coffee shops.
Windansea Retreat is a place you will want to return to year after year.

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.
