Amazing

The house was much bigger than we imagined from the pictures. The view was great and the location was perfect because it was on the border of Pacific Beach and La Jolla areas plus only a 20 min from the Zoo, Downtown and Sea World. We spent many days lounging in the back yard or walking to nearby parks and beaches with our dogs. Definitely a must stay for families and dogs.

Excessive cleaning fee

Our stay was good the location was wonderful. The only problem was that the house allowed pets so our son and daughter in-law, who live in San Diego, came to visit us several times and have two precious dogs, we were charged an additional $400.00 cleaning fee due to some hair from their dogs. I can see an additional cleaning fee but I feel $400.00 is extremely excessive.

Bird Rock Cottage

We loved the location, quiet area, fantastic parking, layout of the home, having well equipped and stocked kitchen and bath, cleanliness, and ease of checkout procedures of this home. The cons are few but worth noting that this house is very dated and in need of some repair or renovation. We did notice a lot of staining on some of the furniture. Overall the Pros out weigh the cons but if we're staying longer we may look to another home that isn't as dated as this one.

Best house in La Jolla for small group

We have been to the area many many times. This was by far the best house for a small group and absolutely the best agency we have ever used. Drift Vacation Homes. Reasonable value. Can’t wait to return next September Location is superb. Kitchen is beautifully and completely equipped. Comfortable and spacious outdoor patio. Absolutely silent at night for sleeping. Good Internet service. Powerful air conditioning with your own thermostat control when it gets scorching out. Comfortable living room and bedrooms. Dedicated genuine dining room area. Entire house is light and spacious and open. Local park is less than a block away and ocean view is out the living room window. It’s fun to be part of the neighborhood gathering at sunset.

Perfect!

We loved this home. We stayed here before moving our daughter into her college dorm. The house was clean, great decor, and the location was fantastic. You can walk to great coffee shops, restaurants, fantastic walks, close beach entrance, and loved having the park so close. We will be back!

Perfect Family Retreat

We were very impressed and pleased with the house AND the rental process! The location is beautiful and feels very safe. The house was clean and well stocked. I was able to text with any questions, and received a shockingly prompt and polite response. We felt very comfortable the entire week we enjoyed the property. 10/10 would stay here again and recommend to others!

Beautiful property

We booked one month mid Jan to Feb and even with 3 big rain storms, had a very pleasant stay. The views are spectacular, Calumet Park a very short walk away for dog walks and fabulous sunsets. Oscar’s, French gourmet, beaumonts and wayfarer did not disappoint. Costco a short drive away. enjoy afternoons in the backyard reading and resting. Grilling was easy with a dedicated gas line.

Great Bird Rock home

Location was just wonderful. Home was very clean and spacious. Back yard area was great. Only detraction was that the bathrooms, while very clean, were really outdated. We did not overly use the kitchen but it was well equipped and generally very pleasant.

Perfect Spot

If you are looking for a quiet location in a perfect neighborhood, this is it. Almost like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, this house was just right. Perfect amount of privacy, space and amenities. Sunsets at the park across the street, perfect coffee from Bird Rock Roasters and a short trek to the beach. We'd stay again.
