“The weirdest thing happened,” she says at the beginning, before her sister added that it was “unsettling”.
The pair explain that they arrived at the Airbnb in San Diego, to which they had “no connections”, before her dad made the unusual discovery.
“My dad is like, ‘This looks like me’,” she said.
“And I’m like, ‘Oh, Dad, what’.”
But on closer inspection, the family realised it was not just a look-alike in the photo.
“This is my dad,” Ms Birrell said, pointing to a man in the ocean.
“That’s my sister,” she added, before panning the camera to Libby.
“And that’s Brady, my brother, 10 years ago.
“They’re literally in the Airbnb picture.”
Ms Birrell added that it was “the craziest thing” to find themselves on the Airbnb wall.
In the TikTok, both sisters are giggling with their hands on their head, shocked at the revelation.
“We are on our Airbnb wall, this can’t be real,” Libby said.
“We’re actually spiralling.”
Many commenters suggested it was “the start of a horror movie” or “a prank”.
Ms Birrell said her family were searching for their own photographs from the beach included on the canvas, and would be contacting the Airbnb hosts about the image.
