About this property

La Jolla Modern Beach House

  • Walk to La Jolla Shores from our beautiful villa. We are located one block from the hub of La Jolla Shores (Avenida de la Playa) and one more block to place your feet in the sand and play in the gorgeous Pacific Ocean. Please refer to our location on the map. We are close to UCSD, Torrey Pines Golf Course, and La Jolla Village. Hwy 5 and 52 are nearby, which make downtown San Diego, Del Mar, Seaworld, San Diego Zoo, and many other fun destinations and activities easily accessible.

    La Jolla Shores was awarded the designation of best beach on the west coast by Trip Advisor's Travelers' Choice Awards! The beach is waiting for you! This gorgeous home in La Jolla Shores allows you to walk to the beach, book awesome activities with the vendors on Avenida de la Playa, and dine at amazing restaurants..all within walking distance. La Jolla Shores Modern Beach House has received architectural awards and considerable press due to the beautiful design. The home was featured in the Winter 2015 edition of California Homes magazine, the November 2019 Union Tribune Coastal Homes & Estates magazine, Dwell, and many others. The glass wall, which separates the inside from the outside, completely retracts and allows the two to merge. This makes the house wonderful for entertaining and enjoying the gorgeous weather here in La Jolla. This is a 4 bedroom home. All bedrooms have a bathroom and shower (and tub in two). There is also a half bath (powder room) on the main level and an outdoor shower. It is the home of my dreams and I know you will love it as much as I do!

Perfect La Jolla Getaway

The home was absolutely lovely. Comfortable, thoughtful, well-stocked and beautifully designed and decorated. Jill was so helpful both in the planning stages as well as throughout our time there. Staying there was a true treat and we hope to be able to return soon!

Perfect in every way

We were in LaJolla for a family wedding There were 7 adults and 3 kids under 3 We were able to keep the sliders to open porch open all day long. Walk to beach where there is a playground and the village where there are stores and restaurants is literally a block away! Would definitely recommend 100%

Great house, great location, would return for sure!

We loved our stay at Jill's home. We have stayed at a few places in the area and this property has been the best so far. Beds are comfy, indoor/outdoor space is great, and the location is perfect. Jill also made things very easy, was responsive and helpful. We look forward to our next trip!

Perfect location; Beautiful modern house

The location is perfect -- walk to restaurants, shops, and the beach. We rarely used our car during our stay. The house is ultra modern with glass walls and cement floors that integrate outside and inside living. So many places designed for social gathering -- the courtyard, the upper deck, the living room fireplace -- really made it easy to relax and reconnect as a family. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great Location

Our group enjoyed the great location of this home. Easy walk to beach, restaurants and market. The home embraces outdoor living with its large glass retractable wall. Only downside for our group was the downstairs lacked comfortable seating both inside and out. Outside had pads on cement block bench seating and two folding lounge chairs only. Inside sofa accommodates only 3 so others must use the plastic dining chairs. Otherwise, home is well stocked and layout accommodates a group well. Bathroom with each bedroom is a plus.

Perfect location and Great owner to work with

We are repeat guests and will continue to be for several reasons; Location of the home is ideal given it is one block from several breakfast, lunch and dinner places, inclusive of small markets with basic grocery items. The beach is a couple of small blocks away and easily accessible. The home itself is kept very clean, well stocked kitchen if you plan to cook, beach items if you plan to go to the beach. Each bedroom is ensuite which is great for privacy, the indoor/outdoor areas are perfect for lounging, especially downstairs since the entire glass "wall" folds open creating an inviting and private space to spend your time. The owner Jill is wonderful to work with, she is efficient in her communication and wants to make sure you have a comfortable stay, you can feel the pride of ownership and care she has for her home and guests.

Beautiful, Comfortable, Relaxing, Spacious!

This modern, beautifully designed beach home is well laid out and allows for both time together and time apart. Just a few minutes walk from the beach, we loved that there were no beach access stairs for my elderly Mom. The indoor/outdoor space allowed us to have a lovely socially-distanced dinner with local friends without ever leaving home. And did I mention that it’s a “green” home? We loved everything about this home, it’s location, Jill, and the entire experience. Jill has created a luxury yet homey feel with a well appointed kitchen and a nice little library. It’s a home with a great view and just steps away from coffee, pizza, ice cream, surf shops and a few restaurants. We can’t wait to come back and spoil ourselves again next summer!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Das Haus ist architektonisch wirklich beeindruckend und liegt in einer sehr guten Lage. Umso enttäuschender ist der Zustand, in dem es sich präsentiert. Ein Haus dieser Qualität und Preisklasse sollte selbstverständlich sauber und gepflegt sein – das ist hier leider nicht der Fall.Der Klodeckel ist vergilbt, die Küchenmöbel sind fettig und deutlich abgenutzt, die Einrichtung wirkt insgesamt abgewohnt. Draußen sind die Sitzpolster verschmutzt und von Mäusen angebissen, und der Gasgrill wurde offensichtlich als Kohlegrill benutzt und funktioniert nicht mehr.Schade, denn das Haus hätte enormes Potenzial. Mit mehr Pflege, Sauberkeit und Liebe zum Detail wäre es ein außergewöhnlich schöner Ort. So wie es aktuell ist, stimmt das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis jedoch nicht.
