Architectural Masterpiece on Windansea Beach - Family and Pet Friendly!

Springtime on Windansea is just the best. Sunny and 65, except on days when it is 75! Extremely limited openings are now available in April and May. This is the best time of year in our town!

Some things about our home...

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 upstairs 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 back courtyard.

The state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with the finest appliances and chef-worthy 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 to the south is in the process of an extensive remodel. The project is now in the indoor finishing phase and is expected to be complete by summer, 2026. 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. (Updated March 2026)

We loved our stay here! The view of the ocean was magnificent and we had easy access to the beach just steps away.The house itself is an architectural gem and obviously lovingly decorated. It was super clean and the fireplace and hot tub were welcome amenities after being at the beach.Our host was friendly, communicative, and very responsive to any questions. He also gave us great ideas about places to go in the area.We will be back!

Absolutely wonderful property. So lucky the owner shares this unique beach front masterpiece with his guests. It's immaculately decorated and situated on an amazing beach. Geoff was more than accommodating during our stay. We were at the property over spring break and there was a lot of action in the afternoons through Sunset. Mornings and evenings are very peaceful and Serene. Our favorite part was listening to the waves crash onto the beach each night. One more thing of note. We always bring pillows to our VRBO stays but this place had the most amazing pillows and bedding. It was like staying at a Four Seasons.

We wanted to stay forever! We had a perfect long weekend of mornings by the fireplace, days following surfers catching waves, evenings watching the sun dip below the sea, and nights sleeping with the sound of the ocean tide rolling in. The house is a mid-century masterpiece with every modern comfort we needed, in the perfect spot. We can't wait to return.

The host was incredibly personable, showing us all the details of the beautiful house with great excitement. That set a terrific tone, and he remained quite accessible when we had questions. The sunsets and ocean views were stunning. The location in La Jolla was fantastic. The house was both fascinating and comfortable. It met all our needs. And it was great that the space was so dog-friendly. We'll definitely be back!

We loved our stay in this home. It’s perfect for sitting and watching the waves. We loved the home features and cozy beds. Never slept better. There was plenty of space for the five of us too.
