Monse and her team has been very accomodating. I love the historical feeling of the house. The condition of the house js so well maintained, it feels very comfortable and home like. Breakfast and happy hour have been pleasant. It feels like coming home after an afternoon at beach. I love there's a fireplace in the second room, it feels very nice. The house is close to Coronado beach, restaurants and cafes.

Situated right on the beachfront, the location can’t be beat. The staff were very helpful and allowed us to store our luggage as we arrived early via Uber. Comfy bed and the room was quiet. Great features such as filtered water and espresso machines and an honesty bar too. The outdoor lounge area with music is such a nice touch. The nearby grassy knoll park to the south is gorgeous too.

Location was pretty good for my plans but it's NOT near the downtown (obviously) and it does not have anything to do that's walking distance. You either need to be driving or ready to get rides everywhere.

The bird rock location is fantastic! Easy to walk to the ocean, many cute coffee shops and bistros for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Close to downtown La Jolla and Pacific Beach. My room had a stand up desk which was great for some conference calls. Staff were super friendly! Everything was very clean. Parking was included and easy. The room had a fridge too! Would stay again!
