KEY Curation Notes

Beach access is a 5-minute walk from this newly built modernist home in La Jolla's sought-after Bird Rock neighborhood. Ocean views frame the property, and the location puts you a short walk from local coffee shops, bakeries, and dining along La Jolla Boulevard.
Two master suites occupy the main floor, each with private ensuites and wheelchair accessibility. Upstairs, an ocean-view king suite features a private patio, work desk, seating area, and spa-style ensuite with dual vanities and soaking tub—ideal for a primary suite or office hybrid during longer stays.
The pool and hot tub require advance planning: heating the pool costs $100 per day with a 3-night minimum and requires 48-hour notice before check-in. A cozy firepit and multiple seating areas dot the backyard, along with an outdoor BBQ for entertaining.
The chef's kitchen boasts high-end appliances, a large breakfast bar, and a built-in outdoor grill capable of feeding an eight-person dining table. Two queen sofa beds on separate floors add flexibility for larger groups or overflow sleeping.
Beach gear is fully provided—chairs, towels, umbrella, and boogie boards at no extra cost. The driveway is standard-width (277 inches) and street parking is abundant; note that the garage is off-limits to guests.
