Dolphin Bay

Dolphin Bay: California

Waking up to ocean vistas is a scene you'll never tire of at this immaculate beachfront home, placed just steps from the golden shores of La Jolla - San Diego's most desirable seafront neighbourhood. Bright, light, and breezy with vaulted ceilings and cool, wooden floors – this is Californian-style living at its finest. The large windows invite you to gaze out over the green parklands and the sea beyond, and if you're lucky, you might just catch a glimpse of dolphins splashing around in the open ocean. A home begging for a large group of friends or family to come together, there's heaps of space to spill out here including two detached king-sized bedrooms for that added bit of privacy. Pad out into the backyard for a relaxing soak in the spa after days at the beach, while little ones can let off some steam playing in the fenced grass yard, or with a game of table tennis. When thoughts turn to food, gather your troops around the eight-foot dining table for memorable evening meals overlooking the ocean –⁠ cooking is a joy in the made-for-action, sociable kitchen. Or head to the bustling local restaurants for an evening meal – we hear the local pizzeria and ice cream parlour (both seven minutes on foot) are unmissable. Just be sure to make it back to watch the sunset over the horizon – there's a front-row seat waiting at home.
