Multiple decks provide ample space for outdoor living while taking in the coastline and sunsets. Additional highlights include paid solar, quality custom construction, and ocean views from nearly every room. Located just a short golf cart ride to the Village of La Jolla’s restaurants, shops, and beaches, with convenient access to the I-5 freeway for travel throughout San Diego.
