Other Details to Note

🌈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.

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. Promotion explanations: deals like "30% off 3rd night" or "60% off 4th night" are instead a 10%/15% discount on a 3 or 4-night stay resulting in approx 30%/60% off the average nightly rate for the 3rd/4th night.

We had a great time here. The location was AWESOME! Took us a few minutes to walk to the beach and it was a very safe area. It was awesome for the price. If we come back we will stay here again. I had issues with the lock (all user error) and he came over ASAP to check it out for me. Very attentive host!

This gem of a cottage is the perfect place to be in San Diego! We were staying downtown for work and moved up to La Jolla for a long weekend and it was literally a transformative experience to be in such a cozy place so close to the beach! Nikki was very friendly and responsive. The value for the location is amazing! Easy parking and charming private courtyard made it instantly feel like home. We definitely plan to come back!
