We had to leave the house after realizing that the doors and windows would not safely close due to rot and damage. The cleanliness was appalling, but we ultimately decided to leave because we did not feel safe. Two of the windows were hanging off of the hinges and would not close. This absolutely ruined the first day of our vacation... having to find an alternative place to stay was not in the plans.

It was beyond our expectations. We had so much fun staying here. The pool was great. Close to the beaches. Thank you.

We booked this property for a long weekend and ended up leaving and staying at a different place. The house was not clean, infested with bugs, and had cracks in the ceilings and walls, water spots on the ceilings, and the pool looked like the water was dirty and green. I contacted the property manager immediately and they told me to find the can of raid under the sink and spray for the bugs myself, then also told me they would send a cleaning crew out, but we would have to leave the property. At that point I wasn’t satisfied and asked for a full refund. I would definitely not recommend this house for the price that it is listed at.

Definitely wouldn’t stay here again…. No a/c so close to the ocean was not a problem, but having no screens on the windows certainly was. We had spiders, tons of mosquitoes and ants everywhere. The house seemed as though it hadn’t been cleaned recently with cobwebs under tables and in the corners, but also floors not cleaned well. My niece and nephew’s feet were nearly black after running around the living area and kitchen in the first hour.

The location of the house is excellent, other than that it has very little to commend it. The photos in the listing do not portray the reality of this house. It basically needs a gut renovation. Most of the windows are decayed, some you can't open because the winder is broken. The french doors to the balcony in the (tiny) master bedroom do not lock or close properly. As a result they kept blowing open during storm Hilary and the rain lashed inside the room. In the end we had to move furniture against the doors to prevent them opening. Totally unacceptable. Overall the house is very scruffy with scuffed woodwork and floors and stained furniture. Bathrooms are very very dated. The back yard could be nice but again needs renovation. The decking is old and worn and the concrete area by the pool has been covered with some sort of coating that has come off in multiple areas. The listing said you could dine outdoors, but there was just a small high table with no chairs?? The area was full of dead leaves and rotten fruit and the pool was not clean when we arrived. The managers did send a pool guy out when I told them. When we arrived the kitchen was infested with ants which we managed to get rid of for a while, but they resurfaced a few days later. . With no AC in the house it was necessary to keep windows open to stay cool. As there are no screens on the window the kitchen soon got full of insects and bugs Bed linens and towels supplied were good and kitchen well equipped.

We really enjoyed our 10 nights in Bird Rock and the home’s proximity to so many great restaurants and beaches. We loved the backyard for our dog Duke. Home needs some updates, such as screens for windows and replacing shower head in downstairs bathroom. Also many spiderwebs outside and inside. But overall, we had little to complain about. Thanks for sharing your home and neighborhood. Interested to see what the plans are for remodeling it (per sign on gate).

Everything was beautiful. The decorations, the views, the outdoor spaces plus the pool, and the location. Much thanks to Surf Style, we really enjoyed our stay.

House kit was well accommodated and the location was perfect to explore all SoCal has to offer. Convenient walking to cafes, CVS (always with kids!!), and central La Jolla. Easy check in/out.
