DESCRIPTION This vacation rental is a rare oceanfront home in La Jolla with a private swimming pool, spa and direct access to the sand. Playa Vista is a Santa Barbara-style home, sited on the westernmost piece of beachfront land at the dividing point between Windansea Beach and Marine Street Beach.
This exceptional coastal home features ocean-view decks, spacious patios, and a grass yard, all set against the backdrop of the blue Pacific Ocean. When staying at this oceanfront estate home, you won’t need to search for parking or have to walk to a public beach – your backyard leads to a private locked gate offering direct access to two of the best local beaches in San Diego.
Playa Vista Beachfront is gated and located in the exclusive Lower Hermosa neighborhood and on a quiet cul-de-sac. Enter the property and be greeted by a sunny interior courtyard with a swimming pool, spa, and lounges. There is a built-in outdoor grill for cooking your favorite meals and a dining table for poolside lunches.
From the courtyard, you will enter the home through a foyer and into the great room with a 15′ open-beamed ceiling. Saltillo tile flooring and tasteful furnishings create a wonderful space to gather and spend time together. and you’ll find your eyes drawn to the large bay windows that frame the spectacular and expansive views of the ocean and coastline.
Step outside onto the oceanfront patio and gaze north towards Marine Street Beach, a body surfer’s and sunbather’s paradise. To the south is Windansea Beach, an incredibly picturesque beach featuring one of the most famous surf breaks in California and the setting and inspiration for Tom Wolfe’s novel, The Pump House Gang. Step down from the patio onto the grass lawn where you can lounge, or walk out the sea gate and put your toes in beach sand. There's nothing like taking your morning stroll along the beach and seeing dolphins play among the surfers just outside your door.
Besides the incomparable setting, Playa Vista Beachfront has a rich heritage and notable history. Because of its special location, this property was originally purchased as a summer home by a founding member of one of Hollywood’s most famous movie studios. Over the years, Playa Vista Beachfront has hosted major stars, political figures, and behind-the-scenes movers and shakers. Now you have the opportunity to experience this one-of-a-kind vacation rental and discover why this is one of the most coveted pieces of property in Southern California. We invite you to call and learn more and make this your own private retreat!
