not as advertised
Generally a fiasco. Upon arrival the door code did not work and it took several calls and maybe 30 mins to get the correct code. We had to wait outside with our luggage after a long day of traveling. There is NO street parking- only narrow alleyways. The garage door code did not work either. Mgr suggested opening manually but the pull was removed. It didn’t matter anyway bc the garage was occupied by a boat trailer, to the surprise of the property mgr. We were also told the garage did not fit large SUVs. Imagine our delight. There is no overnight public parking nearby (signs say they will tow). Property Mgr eventually got us permission to park in a neighbors spot, which is good bc we would have had to get a hotel. The inside of the property was no was no better. The screen door and latch were broken. Many outlets did not work. Not fun when it’s December, there’s no heat, and you can’t plug in the space heater. Walls are partially painted/painted over dirt. Ceiling, wall decor and fixtures are very dusty. Furniture is aged. I wouldn’t recommend. Pics online do not reflect condition of the property. (I took my own!) Definitely some editing there! Not worth the price whatsoever. This is a place for some kids to crash near the beach and nothing more. Must say that the property manager was very nice despite all of this.

Mike's Place review
Mike's Place is basic, nothing fancy, but it's super clean and quite close to the ocean. Communication by the host was excellent. But that said, they might consider a couple things for improvement: supply some coffee and/or tea for guests; and amend the check-in and check-out times. We're all used to 3pm check-in and 11am check-out times, but their 4pm check-in time and 10am check-out are a bit extreme and cuts 6 hours out of a 2 day booking. We were offered an early check-in, but had already made plans and were notified so late, that we weren't able to take advantage of it. Also, if it's cold, be aware, there are a couple of space heaters in the closets. Overall, a good experience

Our stay here was just fine. The place was clean, and the one small problem we had was addressed promptly. The location is fantastic, only about 50 steps to the beach. The unit has comfortable furniture/beds, and all the linens needed. A major plus is that there is convenient, free and secured parking for one car. The kitchen is not very well stocked. All the basics are there (cups/plates/silverware), but if you plan to cook, you may want to bring some measuring cups. etc! The feel of the place was very mediocre. The building is clearly very old, and it is showing. While the unit was clean on our arrival, there are parts that are just yellowing and rusting that can't be cleaned. The appliances are outdated but functional. It also feels very dark inside. There is very little natural light that filters into the unit since it is on the bottom level and surrounded by other buildings and foliage. It felt a bit like staying at a Holiday Inn - you have the required basics but nothing more. It was not a bad stay - just nothing special.

Great area. Was easy to walk to many shops and eating establishments. Easy to drive to area attractions. The unit is fully furnished and easily accessible. There was one of the beds in the two bed room was squeaky when slept on. Having a nice area to come back to made our vacation a great experience in San Diego.

Location!!
The location of this spot was excellent. Only 2 houses down from the beach, you can literally hear the waves with the windows open. They had every we needed, pans, silverware, beach toys, parking, tvs in each room, lovely patio, and comfy couches. It’s a little bit of an older home but Definitely worth the price! Only complaint would be the laundry. It worked 1x but swallowed out $4 when we tried again. Dryer works okay ish. And it was hard to find quarters around the area. There are plenty other Laundromats around if u really need to do laundry. Great stay!

Great location makes up for few issues
Generally, great location and accommodation. Main issues were just with small details like not having enough bath towels for everybody. Only one mirror for a location that sleeps up to six people. Two dollars for coin operated washer and dryer is a new experience and was especially frustrating as it was not consistently working

great location
Property has a great location. The place made for a good stay. The bed in the bedroom alone droops in the middle bad like a taco, but the bedding was clean and we slept alright, just woke up smooshed to each other. There was sand all over the coffee table and floor, but maybe that's to be expected that close to the beach. It rained pretty hard while we were there and the bedroom with 2 beds in it got some water in it, not sure how, the windows were closed. Over place made for a good quick weekend stay with our friends.

Great access to beach, Belmont and eateries. Check in instructions need to be updated as there is a keypad at the garage now and no security door only the front door…issues with pizza sauce on the wall above the trash can inside ( that we cleaned off with a paper towel) and the patio table was filthy-we cleaned it also so we could use it…there were only 2 beach chairs that were usable…we enjoyed the cool temps and the close proximity to the beach 🏝️

Nice Beach location
Not ever staying in San Diego before we didn't know quite what to expect. It was wonderful being so close to the beach. Easy walking to everything you need. You are pretty much on top of each other-not much privacy (curtains very thin) but I think that's just San Diego. Neighbors were respectful of noise at least, but have to keep windows open at night if you don't want to feel hot and stuffy. Definitely a challenge to park in the garage unless you are very confident in backing up in tight spaces (primarily a challenge because of the large dumpster right behind the garage) and we had a full size car...suv or truck would be even more challenging, as listing suggests. Home is old and dated but clean and sufficient for what you're getting (location!!) In small print, the lack of AC is mentioned and we didn't catch that before we booked. If you stay in warmer days, the house does not cool off much. It was very stuffy when we first arrived and took a long time to get comfortable the first night. We were very warm the entire time, even with keeping fans running and windows open, though it improved a little keeping windows open (note-there are a couple of screens that have tears...might want to repair) If you don't sleep well when it's warm, might not be the place for you. Back bedroom bed we found out our last night was very comfortable but the room with two beds are very saggy. Might consider replacing with one similar to the other bedroom. Overall, a good experience. Would stay again if there was AC or. better fans to cool things down and move the air better.

Perfect price for the location. Got what we expected, a decent base for a San Diego stay. The beach is a stone’s throw away, the paths on both the ocean and bay sides were great for walks and runs. The upstairs dining chairs are very loud when moved but the guests upstairs were conscientious. The area homeless are evident but not a problem.
