Architectural Masterpiece on Windansea Beach - Family and Pet Friendly!

Great Winter Rates Recently Added. Best time of year in La Jolla!

Grand Neptune is a Mid-Century Modern architectural masterpiece, updated with modern amenities, curated for years by our family and now available for limited rental opportunities. Pictures do not do this home and the views from it justice. This is an extremely special retreat on one of the finest beaches in San Diego.

This home features 2,700 square-feet of versatile floor space on two levels, with three bedrooms and three full baths. It is ideal for a multi-generational family or two to three couples travelling together.

The main level of the home features two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The main level master suite comes complete with a walk in closet and a full en-suite bathroom, complete with separate shower and jetted tub. The second bedroom downstairs has a queen bed and is adjacent to a full bath with shower. The main level of the home also features the full gourmet kitchen, laundry, serene living area and a tv room, most with unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean.

The upstairs master bedroom is separated from the main level of the home and is accessible though the home's intimate courtyard and up a small flight of stairs. This room, to put it simply, is stunning. Views of the Pacific are unobstructed, the en-suite bathroom is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship.

In short, words simply cannot adequately describe what a serene and beautiful retreat this is. With incomparable ocean views from the master bedroom and the living, dining and kitchen areas, guests can savor the natural beauty of La Jolla's Windansea Beach from just about every room in the house.

Glass doors open to fabulous wood decks, just steps from the beach; and a private stone patio with an outdoor fire pit and a hydrotherapy hot tub grace the backyard.

The state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with the finest appliances and gourmet details, suitable for entertaining a group or for preparing a quiet supper for two.

In the late 1960s, famed Southern California architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg designed this home in wood, glass and concrete, complementing the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Years later, San Diego's finest artisans, along with the talent of architect Yum Kee Fu, masterfully updated, renovated and decorated this amazing home into one of La Jolla's most luxurious homes.

PLEASE NOTE: We are very sorry, but this home does not accommodate events, parties or weddings of any size.

ADDITIONAL NOTE... Our neighbor property south has begun an extensive remodel. Though we are mitigating the impact of this project on our home, kindly be aware that there may be some construction noises during your stay. We apologize for any inconvenience.

My favorite place I’ve ever stayed
My husband and I stayed here when I was in town for a live show I was performing at. I was very stressed out about it all and it was an exhausting weekend and this house could not have been a better place to come back to afterwards. It was so beautiful and relaxing, wonderful location right on a quiet beach. Every day I noticed something new about the house that I didn’t see before. My husband was absolutely in love and says he never wants to stay anywhere else. The hosts wore also wonderful and warm and gave us tons of great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. We will absolutely be back!

Beautiful home in a beautiful location
What an amazing place! Very comfortable with gorgeous views and a crazy amount of floor-to-ceiling glass walls, but without feeling like you're on display. The courtyard was beautiful... we used the hot tub and fire pit almost every night. The front deck has a picnic table and chairs, which were great for sitting and watching the sun set. There is a set of stairs down to the beach just across the street, super convenient. My only complaints are small... it's an older home, so it's harder to find an outlet when you need one. Would have been nice to have a charging block by the bed. Also, some towel racks would have been helpful, as the towels are so fluffy and the air so humid, they never really get dry. These are small nitpicks though. I would highly recommend.

Beach Front Retreat
We recently spent close to a month at this stunning beach home in La Jolla, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty of the house. The interior is beautifully decorated. Every room was immaculately clean and well-appointed, providing everything we needed for a relaxing stay. But the real magic happens outside. The outdoor area is simply breathtaking, with a spacious patio that overlooks the beach. We spent countless hours hanging out, people watching, enjoying the sound of the waves and the gentle ocean breeze. The view is absolutely unbeatable, especially during sunset. Every evening, we were treated to incredible sunsets, painting the sky with vibrant hues of orange, pink, and purple. The location is perfect—just steps away from the beach, making it easy to take morning strolls along the shore or simply relax by the water. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, offering a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle, yet still close enough to enjoy all the dining and shopping that La Jolla has to offer. Overall, this home provided an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, reconnect with nature, and enjoy beautiful sunsets, this is the place to be We can’t recommend it highly enough!

Beauty & Peace in Paradise to Celebrate the 4th of July
An absolutely perfect stay for us. We were looking for a quiet oceanfront area during the holiday and to avoid all the fireworks that scare our mini poodles. Having the ocean waves as a backdrop definitely helps! The area is incredible with essentially a private beach where you can watch surfers enjoying the massive waves from sunrise to sunset. The front patio of the house is the ultimate hang out area to have a coffee or cocktail as you enjoy the refreshing breeze of the ocean. The house itself is a masterpiece! Well designed, well maintained, fully stocked, and everything functional. Geoff was an outstanding host with great communication, and he even provided us snacks & bottles of water at check in which was a nice surprise. Overall, I can't say enough positive things about the area, the house and Geoff. I would definitely recommend it to others, and I would definitely stay there again if available. Thank you for the opportunity, Geoff.

Happy happy birthday
I booked this house several months ago while planning for my wife's 60th birthday. When we arrived our friends surprised us at the airport. The next 3 days were absolutely amazing. This house was spectacular, every thing about it is planned and designed. We never wanted to leave there. Hot tub was great and the views are second to none. Close to everything and yet somehow quiet and peaceful. Thanks Jeoff for your kind hospitality and advise for the best food in the area. Wayfarer for breakfast, The taco stand and Rocky's hamburgers were a hit. Can't wait to return. Loren
