Located in the smart, seaside area of La Jolla, just three blocks from Windansea Beach and Marine Street Beach, this home is a peaceful escape with a mid-century aesthetic. Clean lines and floor-to-ceiling windows fill its rooms with light while its eclectic art and vibrant statement pieces give it a mellow Cali beach vibe. Take one of the bikes provided for a cycle around the coast, or grab a boogie board and hit the beach to get your sand and surf on. With San Diego just a 20 minute drive away, venture out for some tacos or a visit to SeaWorld before coming back home to catch the sunset from your patio. Whip up a pitcher of margaritas and fire up the barbecue for an alfresco dinner under the stars, then gather around the fire pit to see the night off in spectacular style.
