Perfection! We loved, loved our stay at this true gem. Can’t wait to come back!
Space: The massive outdoor patio with ocean view was so inviting and relaxing, it was hard to leave! We had plenty of space for early morning yoga and also enjoyed drinking wine and watching some pretty gorgeous sunsets over the water. The accordion patio doors opening up to the main indoor space were a perfect design feature and allowed for true indoor-outdoor living. The design throughout the unit was very thoughtfully done. The kitchen had all high-end Kitchen Aid appliances, which was an unexpected bonus. All of this made for a very comfortable stay. We felt very at home!
The owners were also very generous to allow a pet exception so we could bring our dog. She loved running around the deck and lounging in the sun!
Location: The location in Bird Rock is so great! Some many fun shops and restaurants to explore — our favorite was Wayfarer Bread, which makes fresh bread and pastry most mornings. You are also a very short drive from La Jolla which is gorgeous (but staying in Bird Rock was much less touristy). Walking from the unit, you have a ton of beautiful ocean vistas to enjoy and everyone in the neighborhood was very friendly.
A few important things to note: The location of the unit is above a barre studio and adjacent to other businesses on the main street in Bird Rock. Overall this was great because you could easily access the cute restaurants and stores. But, one bedroom overlooking the main street was a little noisy at night/early in the morning. One issue we had was with dogs barking and (one day) crying at the pet groomers next door. As dog lovers, we chose to spend the day out instead of at the unit for this reason. We communicated this issue with Airbnb management and they reached out to the owner of the pet groomer. The next day was much better. On that note, communication with the managers was great. Thanks again for a great stay!
