We had a wonderful experience at Surfrider. Janine was available to answer any questions via text message very quickly, like where is the closest grocery store. The location is wonderful for beach access. The shoreline has large, flat boulders perfect for setting up beach chairs and watching the surfers. The condo has beach chairs, toys, 6 boogie boards and a wagon to haul it all to the access stairs a block away. We parked the wagon up top out of the way. In November, we were able to enjoy a large expanse of sandy beach around 1-4pm when the tide was lowest. If you are a runner, you will have miles of trail/sidewalk along the shore. For mealtimes, we used Uber to get us to the grocery store. You could also ride one of the many bikes. Walking to restaurants is about a 15-20 walk (with kids) to reach a coffee diner, gastropub or Promiscuous Fork. We again opted for Uber to get into the village where there are many options. The Cottage for brunch is delicious, El Pescador for an amazing fish market and of course George's for the undeniably best view in La Jolla. Overall, we really enjoyed the well-stocked, clean and convenient Surfrider condo. Have a wonderful time!
