High quality- close to beach

Great house. Upgrades throughout. Nicely decorated, bbq worked great, and relaxing back yard. Short walk to a nearly private beach. And then a short walk longer to where the surfers and small groups hang out. Excellent place to stay. We enjoyed a short walk to the Shack restaurant and bar. Good food! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

Relaxing stay

Nice curb appeal in a very quiet neighborhood. Spacious apartment with nice back patio. Weber gas grill was easy to use and worked great. Apartment had every possible amenity and was tastefully decorated. We came down from Northern California to watch the youngest daughter receive her Masters Degree from UC San Diego. Very relaxing stay. Highly recommended.

Windansea in LaJolla

Location is great. Having a driveway to put the car and a backyard to sit out and read is a definite plus. We rented the ground floor of this house for a month. It is roomy, especially for 2, and comfortable. Neighborhood is a little noisy but friendly. Walking distance to restaurants and 3 blocks to the ocean. Nice get away.

Great family rental!

We brought our two young daughters with us to La Jolla and found this VRBO perfectly suited for our family! The check in and check out process were seamless and the backyard area was beautiful. Perfect for hanging out after the kids went to bed. What we loved most about this house though was the location! It was literally blocks from the most gorgeous beach and a short walk away from restaurants, shops, a cute grocery store, a park for our toddler,etc. One morning we even took the kids in a jogging stroller down to see the seals at children's pool. We had a tahoe and were able to park it in the driveway each day without any issues. There is an upstairs unit, but we never heard them! Would highly recommend this place!

Lovely La Jolla

Windandsea 1 was perfect for our mother/daughter weekend. Everything we needed and wonderful extras were provided. The backyard was so beautiful for an evening glass of wine and conversation. We had upstairs neighbors and had we not seen them occasionally coming or going, we would never have know the upstairs was occupied. There was a very minor issue that did not impact our experience in the least, but I notified the mgmt company on the weekend (after hours) and received a very prompt response in which they offered to attend to it immediately or at our convenience. Very accommodating. Beautiful property, nice, quiet neighborhood, wonderful restaurants, shops...too much fun to mention. My only complaint is a weekend was not long enough!

No hot water in the kitchen, when we called you said that you would send a plumber. No hot water. Beds, bedding insulting. Filthy duvet cover, stained! Old pillows, flat!dust and spider webs and spiders everywhere! Upon arrival the couch was disassembled, furniture out of place. Odor of chemicals so strong to cover the musty, moldy smell.

Not a fan with this rental

The rental was well cleaned and had what we needed. HOWEVER, I wouldn't stay here again because of the following: The carpet is really old and feels yucky under foot. The shower curtain tension rod fell several times which was annoying. The linens and blankets are cheap and the pillows are really old. It's also a dark apartment. The lighting was dim. The windows are really dirty so that didn't help. A fresh coat of white paint, new carpet, and a window clean would go a long way. The most notable flaw was the smell. The entire space smells VERY musty!!! Like it's coming up from a dank basement. This was apparent the entire stay and made it very unpleasant. This apartment is obviously an investment for someone who really doesn't care. I have stayed in Surfstyle rentals before and this was not what we have experienced in the past.

Great location but a few quirks

Great location. Can walk to beach and grocery. Clean. Kitchen is well stocked but no coffee :( Sharing the driveway with the upstairs unit renters is challenging. Also, it was awkward when upstairs renters came down to sit on the outdoor loveseat which is right outside the lower unit bedroom and bathroom window. Internet was spotty and there is no basic cable TV - just internet TV so no live programming. Pro tip: if you are looking to stay here, rent the upstairs unit.

Great Location!

We were 3 adults, a young child and a baby. We brought our own infant bed, there is not one at the rental. Yard was great for hanging with baby! Location was great, house was very beautiful, esp from outside. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was decent. Overall just fine, not luxury, but simple and ok. The pullout bed would be unusable for any adult with a back - maybe for kids? It’s just too uncomfortable. Also there is only a light rain shower - no bath and the shower head is just sprinkles so takes forever to wash your hair. We never heard upstairs neighbors the whole week. The end

Shhhh. I do not want to tell anyone about this house. I want to keep it my secret. It was perfect for a one month escape from cold weather. Two of us remote-worked from this house. WIFI was good. Running and biking along the ocean was very pleasant. Neighborhood was very walkable. We did not hear the upstairs neighbors. We parked on the street the whole time and had no trouble. We will be back.
