It was such a pleasure staying here we booked an extra night! The photos don't do it justice. Cute clean cozy condo. Stayed in September and the weather was perfect! We brought fans but they provided some. Our 2022 4runner fit just fine in the garage so i was super happy about that! The view is beautiful! We used the propane grill and the community free washer dryer so that was a nice plus! Walking distance to every and anything you want and need! Thank you so much i highly recommend and i can't wait to come back!

Our time staying at The Whale was excellent:Very quiet, clean, comfortable, provided everything needed, including the convenience and safety of a garage and laundry facility. The beds are extremely comfortable! Enjoyed the beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony and the breeze. The location is perfect. Truly a few steps from Pacific Beach, and an easy walk to local restaurants and grocery. Tammie and Meagan responded immediately when I reached out regarding an issue with one of the televisions and replaced the television while we were enjoying the beach. I hope to be able to stay at The Whale the next time I visit the Pacific Beach area.

The apartment is about 1/4 block from a great beach. Luckily it has a garage to park in because due to hot weather and spring break there was no street parking. It is very quiet as it sits above the garages and gets a wonderful breeze off the ocean. It had everything I needed for my week stay.
