Forever Views

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

The moment you walk into this lovely home you will be transported to paradise. Experience sweeping views of the ocean during the day and the twinkling lights of the City of San Diego at night. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing on the bluffs below, and spend the sunny La Jolla days on either of the two large decks overlooking the ocean. Watch the surfers and the kite surfers as you look for the dolphins and seals that swim by, or take the short walk to the beach and explore the tide pools at low tide. Starbucks, restaurants, and unique shopping are just a short stroll away.

Just bring your suitcase, because everything else has been provided. The furnishings are bright and comfortable with a fireplace in the living room along with a top-of-the-line entertainment center that includes a new HDTV and iPod connection. There is a separate dining room with walls of windows and 180-degree views of the ocean to enjoy a cozy meal with family or friends. The kitchen has new appliances and everything even the most experienced chef would need at his or her disposal.

The main bedroom has panoramic views of the ocean with a new California king-size bed and a new HDTV. An attached main bath with a new tile floor and a connecting built-in custom closet with lots of storage space complete the main retreat. The second bedroom, which also could be the main suite, has a beautiful wrought-iron queen-size bed with a built-in custom closet, a new HDTV, and a connecting bathroom. The third bedroom also has sweeping views of the ocean and a brand new king bed along with a built-in custom closet. The bathroom is across the hall.

There is plenty of closet and storage space throughout the house. A separate laundry room houses a washer and dryer. Enjoy the outside shower, new barbecue, and a fire pit on one deck to watch the city lights at night and roast a marshmallow or two. Teak outdoor furniture with a dining table that seats guests all under a patio deck cover so you can enjoy the outdoors under shade cover or work on your tan in the sun. A one-car garage and plenty of room to store bikes, surfboards, and toys is available for extra storage, along with plenty of additional parking on a quiet street.

The nearest beach for sunbathing, surfing, and swimming is Tourmaline Beach. A quick stroll up the street to a staircase will lead you down to a smaller beach perfect for tide pooling among the rocks. If stairs pose a problem, you can access the beach from the Tourmaline Surfing Park parking lot, located just a brisk walk away, or a short drive south of the home. This is truly a fabulous and luxurious oceanfront retreat. You'll never want to leave!

Perfect Vibe

We LOVED our stay here! The location is amazing for surf and the views are epic! The layout of the house is perfect for lounging with plenty of space for everyone to spread out. We would rent it out again and again!

Location and view are great, the rest not so much

If it weren’t for the location and view, no one would stay here. Everything was run down, including: bed mattresses were old and very uncomfortable, window drapes and blinds were tattered and dirty, electrical outlet in living room was hanging out of the wall, lounge chairs on back deck were broken and unusable, and we discovered too late there were ants in the living room which bit our dog numerous times. As others have said, the view is amazing and the neighborhood and location are wonderful. It’s too bad as with just a little TLC and small investment in updating the items mentioned, this place could be really fantastic.

4 days of bliss

A few spider webs and a musty smell on arrival but that's beach living. A few minutes of open windows and all good. We had 4 days here. The setting is fabulous and the sound of the waves unreal. Spent hours at the fire pit, two thumbs up there. Great neighborhood, anything and everything is close.

The ocean view from the living room was breathtaking. The house was clean . The appliances were in working order. The only complaint is the bedroom with queen sized bed . It was so hot ! Took over 2 days to equilibriate with the rest of the house , I think because no working vents there. The other bedrooms were very comfortable

Beautiful Views and spacious

The location of this property is perfect. The views are gorgeous. The outside area facing the ocean is my favorite part. There's plenty of seating and the firepit is nice. The pictures on the listing are not accurate though, as the furniture is different. The queen room at the front of the house is extremely hot. Not sure if there are vents in there or not but the extra attached bathroom is nice. The home could use some TLC. New paint inside, update bathrooms, fix outlets, repair the hole in the wall in the hallway, etc. The overall space is nice and plenty of seating provided. At the front door were a few wasp nests and could pose a hazzard if people are allergic to bee stings. An exterminator would be helpful. Paper towels were not provided nor was extra toilet paper. As a host I would make sure essentials were provided. This home just needs some sprucing up and a little more love. It's a great property and is worthy of the investment. Thank you for the stay.

Location was 5 star, the rest was a three

The cliff view was amazing, that’s about where it ends. The mattress was hard, there was only one roll of tp per bathroom, the coffee pot didn’t fit the bottom of the line coffee maker, there was weird (one use) powder shampoo, conditioner and body soap), no instructions or welcoming or suggestions Just not what we are used to from all of other VRBO hosts

La Jolla get-away

We booked this house for a memorial weekend family get-away. The house was as good as the online pictures. Amazing! Watching the surfers, chilling around the outdoor fire pit, and waking up to the sound of waves hitting the shore was pretty cool. Would definitely stay here again.

Not Even the Basics!

The view is the reason to book this property, its in the description! The windows hadn't been cleaned in several months, covered in bird poop, dirt, grime and water spots. I contacted Vacasa upon check-in to address the cleaning of the windows and provide hand-soap in all of the bathrooms. Handsoap was provided in the kitchen, (albeit watered down), and in only 2 of the 3 bathrooms. I figured these two request would be simple enough, given we were staying for 4 nights/5 days, and handsoap is pretty critical into today's covid world. Vacasa didn't respond until 8pm at night. I called the next morning, and spoke to a rep and was told a ticket was opened and would be addressed that day. We never heard from them. We called the following day, and were told they wouldn't be addressing the requests, "they needed to hire professional window cleaners and that they didn't provide hand soap." This was odd, given they hire professional cleaners to clean the residence and did provide some hand soap. We also would have never been told they weren't addressing it, had we not called. Customer Service?? In addition, there are several serious safety issues: -Terrible odor coming from the HVAC vents -Electrical outlets are loose throughout -Hot water is well beyond the limit and scalded my 80 year old father The property is outdated and run-down as many reviews state BUT the safety issues must be addressed and cannot be overlooked because there is a view (which is marred by the bird poop!).

Our second extended visit.

We had a great time at the property for our second stay. Neighborhood is amazing with a quiet, comfortable feel and friendly people. Location works for beach access and shopping w/o having to drive. Should you book the property, be aware that it's dated and a bit 'well worn', but this is easy to overlook with the overall experience of being at the La Jolla, Bird Rock area. The views are amazing!

Unforgettable Beach Getaway: Retro Charm, Breathtaking Views, & Outdoor Bliss

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming beach house, and I must say, it was an experience to remember! Built in the mid-70s, the home has beautifully retained much of its original design charm, giving it a wonderfully nostalgic feel without sacrificing comfort. The views are simply breathtaking - no matter where you are in the house, you're treated to stunning ocean views that make every moment feel special. What truly sets this place apart are the numerous outside seating and dining areas. Whether you’re sipping on your perfect cocktail or enjoying a meal, there’s always a spot with a fantastic view waiting for you. It’s the ideal setting for those magical sunset dinners or lazy afternoon drinks. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, it offered the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle, allowing us to truly relax and soak in the serene surroundings. And the best part? It's dog-friendly! Our pets had as much fun as we did, making our stay even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with a touch of retro charm and unbeatable views, this beach house is definitely worth considering. It provided us with a memorable escape, and we can't wait to return!

Issues

The views were amazing, however the home itself was disgusting, very dirty. The dryer did not work so we were unable to do laundry. The AC only works in one bedroom. The shared bathroom sink faucet leaks on the right side and the left side faucet is frozen in place which means it does not work at all.

What to know before you book.

This is a good location for seeing San Diego. I'd recommend for people with pets or kids. The house is dated and gives a very "old" home feeling which you may see as dirty but it's very clean, just a house that has been left to just age but with pets and kids you won't stress about any accidents that might happen while on vacation. The mgmt company is very good with getting back to you but the internet and TV were not working at all while there and no offer of credit when asked for one which I think was fair to get given the fact they advertise access, and it just didn't work, they had faulty equipment, so I had to find a temporary location to work for one day. That was disappointing in their lack of empathy for the situation and will think twice if I book with that mgmt company in the future.

Great location and view, dated house

Overall, I'd recommend the place. Amazing location and view, and that's really what you're paying for. The house is pretty dated, though, and is a bit disappointing when you first walk in. The photos make it look nicer than it is (though the main common room is lovely). But I guess that's how it's still a semi-affordable rental.

Fantastic views

The views from the house are awesome. Even with an overcast weekend while we were there, we still enjoyed the views from both inside and outside the house. LR furniture was very comfortable and provided plenty of seating for our group. Kitchen and bath were a bit dated for a multi-million dollar home and there were some minor maintenance issues to be addressed. I was expecting something much nicer based on pictures. We were there only for the weekend so we made it work. ``````````````
