This is a fabulous property. We loved the location being minutes (walking) from the ocean. The house was immaculate and had all the amenities we needed. It was quiet and comfortable. The bedrooms were spacious and equipped with appropriate linens and storage space. There were areas that we could gather and all be together. Communication with the host was timely and efficient. Really enjoyed our time here and would love to return.

Our family enjoyed our stay at this property. The checkin process was very easy and self-explanatory. The house is beautiful with beautiful tree lines along the street. The walk to the beach is a breeze and the property has beach chairs for use as well as beach towels. We enjoyed the board games in the evenings with our young children. Thank you and look forward to our next trip to La Jolla.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Surf Nest! The house is beautiful and is in a prime location between Bird Rock and Windansea. The neighborhood is quiet, and you’re less than 2 blocks from the ocean and a prime sunset viewing spot! Our hosts were very communicative and check-in was a breeze. We would definitely stay here again, and fully recommend it to others!

This is our 3rd time staying at the Surf Nest. Melanie is the best host. Check-in and check out is very easy. The house is always very clean and the pool/patio area is very nice. The bedrooms are spacious along with the kitchen and family room. The house is only a two block walk to the Windandsea Beach. We walked down most nights to watch the sunset. Beautiful way to end your day. Restaurants and coffee shops are an easy walk and the highways are not too far of a drive. We absolutely love the Surf Nest and look forward to our next visit!!

This surf nest is AMAZING! It is close to Windandsea Beach. We walked down every night to watch the sunset. Great restaurants in the neighborhood. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. The grill and pool area is private and perfect for a BBQ. This is our second stay there and we will be back again in the Spring.

Property is wonderful and was perfect for my wife and I as I had work in the area for a week. Loved the short walk to the beach and the outdoor area with a fireplace was just what the doctor ordered to wind down while enjoying dinner outside. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could want as we cooked in most nights, they even have an Instapot which was an added bonus. Bedrooms are well appointed, one with a memory foam queen mattress more on the firm side and the other extremely soft king bed in the master.We are headed back in March for another business trip and were disappointed that it was already booked.

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Marsh

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We love the Windansea and surrounding area and were so happy when we found this perfect Surf Nest just 2 blocks away. Not only was it in walking distance from everything we liked, it also a private pool, and a nice size yard so we can enjoy a garden and grow vegetables, herbs, and fruit trees.

What makes this property unique

We liked the older mid-century charm Surf Nest offered and decided to play it up. A few of the key furniture pieces you see in the home are actual mid-century pieces collected by us through estate sales, auctions, dealers, or antique shops.

Also, the majority of the art hung up around Surf Nest was made by the home owner with local seaweed from Windansea beach. The goal is to add to the collection with other local artists and would be available for purchase for those interested.
