Stunning view of the ocean at Windandsea Beach. I am a widow who traveled alone from the. Virginia coast to visit my son. It was the perfect amount of space for me and to have him visit for dinner and cocktails on the balcony. Im not sure it would be fair to the owners to crowd this small space with more than two guests.
Janine was very accommodating to me. I cant thank her enough for her hospitality. I strongly suggest that you pack light or use a duffle type suitcase to manage the small spiral entrance steps. That worked well for me as the steps are narrow.
Be mindful of the guests beneath you. There are guests staying in two units below you. Water temperature and pressure were great. I could go on. My only hope is that I can get to stay there again. Many thanks to Janine and Chuck for the opportunity to stay in your home. All the best.

Very nice place for two. Easy to get to anything you need.
We will book again.
If you want to cook I would rent one of their larger units.
For us we ate in town and enjoyed every minute of it.

My husband and I were so pleased with our stay here. Our studio apartment was clean and had all we needed. We ate breakfast and lunch on the balcony with a fabulous view of ocean. It was a 3 minute walk to the beach. The Wind and Cave Beach was so spectacular. The neighborhood was quiet. We had a space for our car rental. Our hosts Janine and Chuck were beyond helpful and friendly. I hope to return with other family to occupy the lower units too.
5.0 / 5.0
We had a great time. The location was amazing and it’s not nearly as crowded as the main beaches. Very quiet at night and close to core La Jolla and Pacific Beach for restaurants. About a 25-30 minute drive into downtown so still accessible to other parts of town. The penthouse had plenty of room for 2 and we were able to fit a small SUV in the parking spot. Janine was very proactive in communicating us details to check in. Would highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Janine and Chuck were quick to respond to a cable issue we had when we got there and was fixed in no time. The place had everything we needed and the bed was so comfortable that we stayed in it a lot!

Great location and well kept! Walking distance the beach, Taco Stand, and many other La Jolla staples.
5.0 / 5.0
The private balcony ocean view was more than I imagined. Very comfortable bed and perfect accommodations for our four night stay. Walkable to coffee, dining, and the beach just steps away. Quiet and peaceful. I would definitely stay here again.
5.0 / 5.0
I greatly enjoyed my stay here. Perfect location, with a block's walk to Windansea Beach and an amazing view on this penthouse's deck. Pretty quiet neighborhood so I could fall asleep to the soothing ocean waves. Also, restaurant recommendations provided by the owners were spot on. Would definitely stay here again.

The place has an amazing view of the ocean and very soothing to listen to the waves crash all night.
5.0 / 5.0
Wonderful location and amenities for those looking for a getaway. We enjoyed the ocean sounds every morning and traffic noise is very light. All basic amenities provided and we where able to cook simple meals and slept well. Neighborhood is welcoming and everything you need is within walking distance. Would definitely stay again.

Great views, quiet neighborhood
Fantastic views overlooking Windansea Beach, just half a block from the beach. Top floor unit (two others below), accessed via spiral staircase in back, easily enough for our family. Main bed was very comfortable memory foam, queen size I think, with very nice comforter and linens. Sectional couch bed was roomy enough for a teen and firm.
Kitchen area very small but functional, full size fridge, no stove, but with a microwave, toaster oven and large induction plate for cooking, along with a set of very nice quality plates, bowls etc. Plenty of clean, very nice quality towels. Plenty of hot water, very good water pressure.
Very quiet at night. Windows on all sides for good cross ventilation, there was also an AC unit which we didn't use as the temps were perfect day and night. Go to sleep to the sounds of the surf!
Off street private parking space, very snug even for a compact car, but great to have, as this area so close to the beach is very popular. Lower units have more accessible parking.
Swimming at this beach was great. Not nearly as crowded as those near downtown La Jolla and rated as cleaner by agency websites.
There is a small gourmet type grocery store just four blocks away, very nice. Very few restaurants close by, but easy enough to park in downtown La Jolla (at least we had no trouble at this time of year), and you could walk there (about 1.3 miles north).
Some very appreciated amenites are washer and dryer access and beach supplies- chairs, umbrellas, beach towels.
Communications with the host were excellent and speedy.

Ocean view from patio
Studio accommodates two adults with everything you need. Great view of ocean from patio and added bonus of beach chairs and umbrella to use. Bed could be upgraded. Overall great for a few days!

Awesome location!
Awesome location! Beautiful views and sound of surf from you studio. You get use to the narrow spiral staircase. Communication with owner was great! We arrived at airport late in the evening and couldn't access address on VRBO. I texted the owner for the address and she promptly responded! We would definitely stay there again.

Cozy
Very nice place to stay for a short getaway. Amazing neighborhood with beautiful beaches and surfing. The view from the balcony was very relaxing.

Great view, great location, great hosts!
The property is ideally located, literally steps from the beach. The hosts could not have been more accommodating. They let us keep our bikes in their garage for an extra day. The place is definitely small so would not recommend for three adults but one adult and two kids fit great. Our only issue was finding a dirty diaper under the bed - apparently from the prior stay.

Rooftop casual studio
This was perfect for us! The 3 story spiral staircase was fine, but wouldn’t be good for anyone with disabilities. The ocean view was gorgeous and the neighborhood was delightful.

Great Stay at Surf Rider
My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at this quaint and charming property. The home is well equipped with everything you could want including extra towels, soaps, paper products, as well as fully stocked kitchen for your meal prep needs. The view from the third floor balcony is truly outstanding and a wonderful place to watch the sunset. The entry through the spiral stairs did not pose an issue for us, although the rear parking access is a little tight for larger vehicles, however there was plenty of street parking available, so it was not a problem. Great walk ability to a number of restaurants, shops and some nice local bars. We highly recommend jumping on one of the rental scooters that always seemed to be nearby to check out the town! We would definitely consider staying at Surf Rider again and recommended it to others. Thank you to the very helpful hosts!

Amazing View of La Jolla Surf
It is a small studio, but the bed looks out over the ocean. Great little balcony with barbeque and table that you can have sunset dinners watching the surf. Loved it so much last year we came back a second visit.

Great location
This property is in a great location. Has everything you need. Don’t stay here if you have a lot of luggage or can’t handle circular stairs!

I love the sound of the ocean from this cozy "tree house". I have stayed here many times and it it the best deal for the location!

Great La Jolla getaway
Great location and views! Everything we needed for our short stay. We found the spiral staircase to be somewhat of a challenge bringing in our luggage. Lots of available parking!

Nice little place
This was a nice little top floor space. It had a nice view of the ocean with an outdoor deck that you could sit in and enjoy the view. The beach was only a couple hundred feet walk away. The stairs heading up to the room were a little tight carrying a full-size suitcase, but if you know that heading into it’s fine. We were able to fit our intermediate size suv in the parking spot, you just have to remember it’s easier to fit into if you enter the alley from the east side. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place. Clean and great view of ocean
Nice clean place. Good look over the ocean. Steps where kind of a pain but worth it. Three words though. Get new mattress. Had a great time n San Diego and would recommend staying here.

Amazing location - heat the ocean waves soothingly all night
Surfrider penthouse is a sweet place! Water view for sunsets! Beach towels being provided and beach chairs - nice to have. Yes - the other reviews r accurate that the parking space is for a compact car but there is ALWAYS street parking right outside the front door! Yes - the spiral stairway is the only access but it’s super easy. This studio is private and charming and set up so incredibly well with a small kitchen- everything u could need is here or provided. We will be back for certain.

Location, Location, Location!
We had a great stay at Surfrider Penthouse thanks to the close proximity to Windansea beach (1 block) and 3-5 minute drive into the village for dining and shopping. The unit itself had a great patio which we enjoyed throughout the afternoon and into sunset! Perfect spot for the two of us!

Great Spot by the Ocean
This is an amazing spot to stay in San Diego. The place was very neat and tidy when we arrived. Janine was very easy to communicate with and they had a book of fun recommendations for the stay.
There was a parking spot right behind the house which was very convenient. The spiral staircase up to the unit was a little tight, as others have said, but it wasn't too bad and the room is worth the trip up there!
Overall we had an amazing time in San Diego!

Nice little place close to the beach
The place was nice, stocked with a lot of toiletries and other things we used. Place could have used a better cleaning; dusty and the floor needed to be vacuumed. The bikes available were extremely rusty, make sure you have your tetanus shot before riding one of them. Spiral staircase is challenging when bringing up big suitcases or bags. Parking space is tight, don't try and park a large vehicle. We still enjoyed staying here and would stay again if ever in the area.
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect location
This cozy little rental is the perfect place to enjoy a weekend away. Just steps away from the beach and shopping is close by. Our favorite restaurant: The Taco Stand is just minutes down the street as well. We ate there every day. We will be back!

Great! Just as advertised
We had a great week in this unit. The view is amazing and, even in late March, we were able to keep the sliding balcony door open, to sleep with the sound of the waves crashing nearby. The apartment is small, but fine for the two of us. This is a quiet neighborhood, away from the activity of downtown La Jolla, but close enough to walk or bike there for meals and activities. Be aware of the three-story spiral staircase, which is the only way into the unit. It's pictured above and mentioned in other reviews. It's not bad - just something to be aware of if you have trouble with stairs or lots of luggage to bring up. Also, the provided parking space in the rear was too small for our (not compact) car, but we never had a problem finding street parking, and the area seemed safe to park in. Thanks for the fun and sunshine!
4.0 / 5.0
Great Location.
We loved the location. It was a block away from the beach and you can see the ocean from the bed. The studio is well stocked with essential utensils, dish soap, paper towels and a fridge. We didn't mind the spiral staircase. The place was a bit dusty and rusty but other than that, very comfortable. The bicycles that come with the building were very rusty so we chose to go with lime bike instead. The location made it worthwhile.
