My family and I had a lovely five day stay at Surfrider 2 in La Jolla. The location was perfect - barely five minutes to the gorgeous stretch of shoreline known as Windansea Beach. It was also a short walk to shops at an area called Bird Rock, and a brisk walk to the commercial cluster of downtown La Jolla. In fact, with everything within walking distance, we left our car in the garage for the duration of our stay. Trilogy - site of a yoga studio as well as a cafe featuring freshly made juices and an array of scrumptious snacks - and the nearby Warwick Books, both on Girard, are two of my favorite downtown locations. A bit further on Girard is Harry’s Cafe, most definitely the place to go for breakfast.
The place itself couldn’t be beat. Clean, with modern furnishings, and all the appliances and kitchen equipment anyone could need. The beds were comfy, and the showers had excellent water pressure. The living/dining rooms had an L-shaped sofa, a dining room table, and stools along a low counter. Although we didn’t watch any TV during our stay, the living room has an immense flat screen, perhaps 72” diagonal, and both bedrooms had more modestly sized flat screens. The unit is also equipped with Apple TV set top boxes.
The front patio has a round table with four high-backed chairs, and a love seat sized couch facing two oversized cushioned chairs.
The ocean view over the facing buildings is gorgeous. The parking garage is underneath the building, and beach chairs, umbrellas, and a million more beach toys are also in the garage.
All in all, a truly five star place for a short or long stay.
