The Ocean's Smile

The Ocean's Smile: California

Perfect for a coastal family getaway, this home boasts enviable views across La Jolla Shores beach. With two living rooms and all five bedrooms offering en-suites, there’s plenty of space for the whole family to spread out and relax here – we particularly love the upstairs family room, with ocean views and doors onto the terrace to enjoy a spot of sunshine over a glass of wine. With a modern, well-equipped kitchen, rustling up a meal is a breeze, but if you don’t fancy cooking, a stroll along the main street will take you to a great selection of eateries.

*If you're travelling by car, there's private driveway parking for two cars here – in addition, there's very limited street parking
