Lovely property, wonderful hosts! The hosts were easy to communicate with from the time we booked until the time we were home (and they found my missing sunglasses!). The property is in a great location for all things La Jolla and San Diego. Provided bikes were awesome, we took the trail to downtown for breakfast one morning. The beach is an easy ten minute walk. Don't underestimate having dedicated parking either, especially after a day of sightseeing and parking spot hunting in the rest of the city. Overall, a wonderful stay for my daughter and I for a long weekend!

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.

During our month long vacation in California, our stay at the Windandsea bungalow was a perfect choice! Trish was very welcoming - we arrived to a basket of snacks on the dining table and various drinks in the refrigerator, which we appreciated after our drive down from Los Angeles. Her kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything needed to prepare meals. When vacationing and eating at restaurants, it is sometimes enjoyable to prepare a meal and enjoy eating "at home". This was what was so great about Windandsea Bungalow - it felt like home. Our own private patio and hot tub, an array of beach chairs, beach towels, umbrella and even some beach toys if you have kiddos! The beach was just minutes away by car, or walking if you wanted to get some exercise. The location was very convenient for traveling to San Diego and points north. We enjoyed trips to The San Diego Zoo, hiking in Torrey Pines State Park, San Diego Safari Park and many other local spots while staying at WindandSea Bungalow. Truly a California style beach home with loads of charm!

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.
