🌈Aloha! Thanks for checking out our vintage villas by Windansea Beach in lovely La Jolla! All guests must read the property description and comply with the house rules. ✌️We offer our rentals only to guests who'll keep our neighborhood clean and peaceful. Expect normal suburban neighborhood noise. 💰Save! We partner with a super-cleaner who you can pay directly—no markup, no 12.75% tax, and no 15-20% platform fee. Guests pay just $25/hr, saving $60–$100 on a typical cleaning, compared to nearby rentals. If a back-up cleaner is needed, the cost will be typical for the area. 🧻To start your stay, you'll receive a free 2-day supply of essentials like soap, toilet paper, and paper towels. 🌿 Pet & wildlife-friendly! We abstain from using harsh toxins that will harm pets or wildlife. If a bit of hair or a surprise visit from a four, six, or eight-legged friend might ruin your trip, this might not be the right fit. By booking, you acknowledge that the presence of tiny locals is part of the experience—not a cleanliness issue and not grounds for contacting Airbnb, requesting refunds or leaving less-than-5-star reviews. ⏰ Same-day bookings may require later check-in for last-minute cleaning. 🐕 Well-trained, friendly pets are welcome. Pet rent is $25/night/per pet (minimum $75, 2 small dogs can stay for the price of 1). Akitas, Cane Corsos, Chows, Dogo Argentinos, Pit Bulls, Presa Canario (canary dog), Rottweilers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, and any wild canine or hybrid thereof. No animals other than domestic dogs and cat approved by Host are allowed on Property. 🎉Big group? Book up to four of our adjacent cottages for up to 24 guests! 🌊 Provided beach gear include chairs, towels, and boogie board(s). If desired, snorkel gear may be be rented at nearby shops. ❄️A/C is available for when indoor and outdoor temps exceed 75 degrees Farenheit. 👶Kids n Furkids 🐶 extras**: Pack'n'play: $30* Dog bed: small-medium $30*; large $40* Dog crate: medium $40*; large-XL $60* Dog stroller: $50* *extra charge if dirty/worn/damaged **Try to reserve these items at least 4 days in advance so we can order them if needed. We cannot guarantee the availabiity of these items for last-minute bookings, but we typically have all of these available. We can connect you with a baby-gear rental company if you need a high chair and other baby gear. ❗We deeply discount weekday rates, expecting to rent full weekends at a premium rate. So, if you take half a weekend, one weekday will be charged at the weekend rate unless it's a same-day booking, of course. If you don't got the bucks, pls message us for a compromise. ❗ Villa Serena is not a great choice for travelers who pound on the floors. It's floor is elevated and the sound percusses, disrupting neighbors. Our other cottage-style vacation rentals are a better option if you have hyper kids or like to jumprope or???.
