Responsiveness and effectiveness of the AvantStay local property management team was impressive. Outside their scope, the AvantStay main contacts were sloppy about adjusting our checkout time, and rely too much on bots.
The house was fine except that the laundry machines were worn out and not functional. The dryer did not turn and the washer left a robust soap residue. Both need replacement and repair was impractical during a holiday week. The bathroom showers are sized for people about 5 feet tall and should be modified with an extension--an easy fix. The tub was peeling and needs refinishing or replacement and the bathroom (at least) needs repainting.

My family, friends and I enjoyed our stay in this cozy home. Walking distance to ocean view/cliff. Comfy beds and furnitures. House did have a noticeable smell but not terrible. Also carpet was worn out.

We had a nice experience staying at this property and would stay here again.
We could walk to restaurants and shopping with short drives to the beaches. Typical of a lot of rentals, the house could use some TLC (old carpets, sky light roofed over in one of the bedrooms, oddly placed pony wall in one of the bathroom, etc).

Great location. Home desperately needs paint and new carpet. Air conditioning has a tough time cooling on warm days.

Great location, little pricey for rental
Overall we had a nice experience staying at this property. The vacation rental company made it nice with all of their swag. I was a little surprised by condition of the carpet in the home. It definitely needs a refresh. As far as the location, we could walk to all kinds of restaurants and shopping. The beach on the other hand required a short drive.

Great Location for family trip
The house is in the perfect location for our family of 6 plus our dog. We walked to great food everyday, and our daily walks with our dog were so beautiful and fun. The house itself is funky—white carpet that should be replaced with something durable, original kitchen, but everything except carpet was clean and comfortable.

The location was great -- right near the water in the great neighborhood. Walking distance to shops and tacos/coffee. However, the house needs updating and repairs. They could spend a few hundred dollars and make a difference (e.g., there is no icemaker, only one dish towel). The rugs were dirty and one of the skylights leaked in the rain. Some repairs have been attempted, but were not quality work. None of these are deal-breakers, but for the money, they should do better. That said, I'd still book again for family, just not a valued client.

The 4 bedroom house was very comfortable and perfect for our group of 5. Location is convenient to La Jolla and all of San Diego, neighborhood quiet, beds comfortable, spaces to eat and relax numerous and tables were the right size. Plenty of chairs. We would love to stay there again someday soon.

The property was a lovely mid-century modern design. The location was great. Short walk to ocean viewing and nearby restaurants and stores. The bathrooms need updating. The bedrooms could use a fresh coat of paint. The wifi was not reliable.

Overall the experience was fantastic. The location was perfect. Close to beach to hear the waves and close to coffee and bars. The only comments I have are that for the price, I felt the kitchen and bathrooms need a little upgrade. The bedrooms and hang out spaces were great. But the showers and vanities are really old and run down. And the floors in the kitchen are falling apart. No other concerns. And overall would stay again. But a little remodel would help.

The location was perfect for us, ocean was near, shops and food walking distant, away from the crowds. The size of the house was what we wanted, but the place was in need of some updating . The garage was an added bonus.

The house was perfect for our last minute family get away.
Walk away from the ocean. It was cool to watch all the surfers. Unfortunately, right outside the home is where they all park, but it's cali, with the ocean right there, so we understand.
Wasn't the cleanest when we arrived, and had to unclog the vacuum. So maybe that was the problem for the floors? Something totally fixable. Other than that the rooms were perfect size and had plenty of storage for our clothes. There were plenty of towels for our family of 6. Thanks again for a nice stay @ Bird Rock!

Extremely Disappointed
We were extremely disappointed with this home. The house claimed to accommodate 10; however, they failed to mention 2 people would need to sleep on a blow up mattress in the living room. Nothing about the home would accommodate 10 individuals. There were 6 plates and 1 bowl to eat off of and no sharp knives. Furthermore, if you gathered every chair in the house only 7 people could eat at the dining room table. The entire house had 2 wash clothes and no hand towels. We have used VRBO for years to book large family gatherings- in Europe, Hawaii, throughout the states... this home was by far the WORST. We don’t mind paying for quality; however, there was none. Please skip this home..

Overall the home was fine but we were disappointed with the smaller kitchen. If you don’t want to cook you’re fine, but not enough utensils. Very old coffee pot that ended up breaking...
Bath tub had mold in it..
For the price we paid we felt disappointed.

Lovely property in a quiet neighborhood
This was a cozy property in a great area with lots of amenities. It is steps from some tide pools and a few minutes’ walk to the coffee shop and boutiques. We enjoyed our quiet stay and would certainly return to this property.

location great, state of the house not so great
It is a wonderful location a block from the ocean and that tends to override everything else. You do need to sit on the outside lawn by the curb to enjoy the ocean view however! The house seemed shabby for the high daily price; bathrooms needing work, rugs worn and dirty. All manageable but overpriced in my opinion.

Best Location!
This was the BEST location I could have ever asked for. I wanted beachfront, but not touristy, and I still wanted it to feel plush and less beach bum shack. This home checked all of the boxes and it did not disappoint once we got there! It was so cute and fully stocked. We had the best time there. The hosts were great and were quick to answer any questions we had and offered suggestions on "must do's" while here. It was so enjoyable. We will be back for sure!!
