Perfect Beach Getaway for Our Family!
Our stay at this beach house was perfect! The location couldn’t be better—right on the beach with stunning views and easy access to the sand. The house was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with four comfortable bedrooms that provided plenty of space for our family gathering. Having a garage for parking was a huge plus, making it easy to come and go without any hassle.This property was ideal for our family get-together with my sons, offering everyone a relaxing and enjoyable environment. We truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches and amenities that made our stay comfortable. We can’t wait to come back again!I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic beach getaway!

Spectacular ocean views and convenient location
This ocean front property offers lovely views and is separated from the beach only by a pedestrian walkway. The neighborhood has a few breakfast/coffee shops within a few blocks and a dozen restaurants within a 10 minute stroll. The bay is a few blocks away and the more lively Pacific Beach is a 20 minutes walk north. The condo is reasonably well equipped though sparsely decorated. A washer/dryer, plenty of hot water and some beach equipment add to the conveniences. I would absolutely return.

Pristine Location - Home Just A Little Less Than Pristine
I understand this home is a true rental, however, for the price I was expecting a bit more in terms of finishes in comparison to the photos. For example, the base boards are pretty dinged and scuffed up, along with some markings on a few walls, and a pretty cheap couch. The front door has a pretty large gap, although I don't believe it's a safety issue, and also missing blinds (there's a very bright outdoor light above the front door). There's also no dedicated beach gear (chairs and umbrellas). That was a pretty big bummer considering how expensive rentals are from in town. However, the listing was accurate in this regard. I just think it would be great to provide, and then take an inventory. If someone doesn't leave the beach gear at the house - charge them. All that said, the home is still amazing and in an awesome location. On top of that, the management team is absolutely superb. Extremely responsive, helpful, and even tried to help me when our car battery died.

Annual Family Beach Vacay
We love going to San Diego every summer for the 4th of July holiday and staying right on the beach! The grandkids loved it! We all had a great time. The beach house was large enough for all 10 of us! It's a very nice house with great views. The kitchen is great. Our SUV even fit in the garage, which is a major plus. We really enjoyed being so close to the water. That's the best part!!! Can't wait for next year!

Absolutely amazing property!
A small group of friends stayed here for a birthday celebration and we had an amazing time. We had a small hiccup at check in that was quickly fixed with a quick phone call. Property was spotless and the view can’t be captured in photos—it takes your breath away! Location is near by places to walk to for eating, coffee, and to play (we went to Belmont park daily for shopping and rides). Property management checked in multiple times to see how our stay was and to let us know they were a text or phone call away if we needed anything. Absolutely recommend this property!

Very nice condo in a GREAT location
We had a wonderful week and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful ocean views from the third floor with great outdoor balcony space. The property manager was very responsive to our needs. The unit is as advertised. A very small investment in upgrading a few things could make it feel like a stay at the Four Seasons. Still, it was great.

Loved being up on the 3rd floor with all of the great views and people watching, just with a bit of privacy. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. Very short walk over to the quieter bayside. Kitchen fully stocked with dishes and plenty of beach towels. Some beach chairs for use would have been appreciated. Lovely stay.
