What a gem!

Isabelle's home had everything our group of 7 adults needed for a long weekend. The location was peaceful and perfect and the rooftop deck was amazing. We loved having our morning coffee with the sunrise and cocktails at sunset. The bars and restaurants are a 10-15 minute walk away so the sounds we heard were exactly what we were hoping for: crashing waves, sea birds, surfers and beach goers.

Loved This VRBO

We have stayed here in January and February for the last nine years. I loved the dining area that overlooked the ocean. You can pull up the blinds in this room to enjoy an unobstructed ocean view. There's also a balcony with a table, umbrella, and chairs just off this room. The daybed is a perfect spot for napping. The beach and boardwalk are just steps away, featuring numerous shops, bars, and dining options; Kono's is one of our favorites. The lovely owner is downstairs and available to answer any questions. Another favorite feature of this place is the roof. You can go up there to sunbathe, eat, read, and enjoy the fire pit, which keeps you warm on chilly nights. We have stayed here in January and February for the last nine years.

Family getaway

It was a cold weekend in San Diego but we still took advantage of everything around. The 6 of us ate in on 2 of the nights and really enjoyed the dining porch. The short walk to the beach was perfect. We wish the weather had been better so we could have made better use of the rooftop deck. Overall, it was a great place to stay.

Pacific Beach Home

The home was in a residential area; a block from the beach. Amazing plants outside. Numerous stairs to access the upstairs rental. It was an older home that had a musty smell once you entered - probably due to being so close to the ocean. Some windows were difficult to open/close. The furnishings were nice and two of the beds were comfortable. There were plenty of toiletries, towels, kitchen supplies, etc. Owner was very nice. It was comfortable but nothing fancy.

Fantastic location with cozy sunroom

Located a block from the beach, if you love surfing, best waves just in front of the property. Kitchen well appointed, extra spices/oil, we cooked dinner a few times with no issues. Bedrooms small but cozy, and on a nice night, sleeping in the sunroom listening to crashing waves is serene. Spiral stairs to rooftop, views are somewhat blocked by other homes and wires. Fire pit is a nice touch. Inside was clean but outdoor area and furniture needed a sweep/wipe to get rid of webs and debris. We could not find a washer/dryer, which would be helpful to wash towels and bathing suits. But for the location, views of the water, and near the boardwalk to many restaurants, it’s an ideal place for a beach holiday.

Wonderful place, great host and the roof patio is awesome!

It was as advertised. Great location. We spent a lot time on the roof patio. It is an easy walk to the beach. They have all the beach amenities like towels and chairs and umbrellas so you don't have to buy anything. There are lots of people walking and hanging out on the beach but the neighborhood is quiet. The host is so helpful and is a great resource. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location, great home

This Pacific Beach location is prime time for beach or nighttime activity, along with being within a 20 minute ride to Del Mar Racetrack. Host and neighbors were top notch. Outdoor areas are a plus with the great rooftop area, and has plusses of laundry and outdoor shower. Run, walk or play by the beach and this place works out just fine!

Everything was well stocked. Property grounds and neighbors were all very nice. Sun room was beautiful. Roof top was great too. Had to wipe down outside tables and chairs and hot water button in kitchen was a bit inconvenient if you forgot to activate before you used sink and shower in bathrooms. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect place, perfect location

This property was exactly what we needed and just as advertised. There were five adults and everyone had their own space. The upper deck with fire ring and view of the surf was unbelievable, let alone the other deck for breakfast. The kitchen has literally everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinner. Lunch was a short walk to hundreds of choices. Bars and night clubs were all walkable. The two bathrooms and showers were clean and had great water pressure. All towels and linens were ample. The TV had all of the March Madness games. Parking in the driveway was valuable in such a popular area. We walked to the surf every day just one block away. Communication with the property manager has been quick and easy. We loved it. Didn’t really want to leave!

About the host

Hosted by Isabelle Piccini

Host profile image
We have owned our beach home since 1966 and are happy to share this rare and wonderful location with guests. My mother has long been known as the 'Queen of Hospitality' by her friends and family, so it is perfectly fitting to be involved in hospitality with her home.

We love the beach and grew up surfing the local break out front. Our view from the roof deck spans from Pt. Loma to Pacific Beach Point and is a fabulous place to relax and enjoy the sun, sunsets, or stars.

Why they chose this property

Years ago when my parents parted ways, my single mother of 3 young girls took a big chance and bought this duplex across from the beach in the early '60s. The idea was we would live downstairs and rent out the top floor with the view to help ends meet, which has turned out to be the best idea she ever had. I am a native San Diegan and am thankful for growing up in such an awesome location. It is with great pleasure we are able to share this special location with people that would never have a chance to visit Pacific Beach in such a 'locals spot' sort of way.

What makes this property unique

I have traveled throughout the world and have decorated the beach house with treasures from around the world. The view is wonderful and our fire-pit on the roof deck makes relaxing up top a treasured moment - very enjoyable. Order dinner to be delivered from some of our local favorite restaurants, Thai, Italian or Mexican and enjoy a memorable roof-top dinner - you will not be disappointed. Beach walks, sunsets, R&R! We offer a shopping service to have your vacation rental pre-stocked with your favorite food and drinks.
