Perfect spot for Family Vacation

Our group of adults found plenty of space thanks to the rooftop deck! We enjoyed the amazing sunset views and fire pit. The location was steps from the beach and the hot water outdoor shower was an added bonus. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood a short walk from great shops and restaurants . The host was very accommodating and and responsive..

yearly family beach trip

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.

Amazing Beach Hoise

Isabelle’s place was fantastic. The view of the ocean was amazing and it was a 5 min walk to the beach. Everything was there for us: beach chairs, boogie boards, towels. The unit was spacious for our family of 4 (2 teens). Everything we needed was there including easy parking for our car. I would recommend this place 10/10!!! We will come back!

A superb experience

This upper level apartment was perfect for two families and the two-year-old. We had a view of the ocean and a quick walk to the ocean. The hosts were kind, accommodating, and the whole visit was excellent. I would highly recommend this property for a short or long-term 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!

Excellent VRBO!

We have stayed here 6-8 times. We started out staying a couple of weeks and each year we add more days. The owner lives downstairs and is very generous with her time, advice, and beach toys. The accommodations are perfect. My favorite spot is the sunroom which has 4 windows that you can roll up to enjoy a clear view of the ocean view. In addition, there is a table that seats 6-8 people where I sit at my computer or iPad while enjoying the ocean view. I also read or nap on the trundle bed. The private roof deck is great for relaxing, sitting by the fire pit, sunning, or viewing the fantastic sunsets. It is a short walk to the beach and the 2½ mile boardwalk. There are numerous bars, restaurants, surf shops, an amusement park, etc. along the way. Kono’s on the boardwalk at Crystal Pier is one of our favorite places for breakfast or lunch.

Great Place

We stayed here with a family group of 8, including 2 in their 80’s, and loved it! The place is warm and comfortable and we especially enjoyed the rooftop porch for evening sunsets. It’s a short walk to restaurants along the ocean walkway. We met both the owner and next door neighbor who were both very welcoming. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Property and Even More Fantastic Location!

My friends and I rented this property for our annual friends retreat that we take. We like places that allow us to both congregate and chat while also being within walking distance of places we can go for coffee, dinner, attractions, etc. This place checks all the boxes. It was clean, stocked with amenities, and the views were just as described! The only areas where I have any criticism are: 1. Put check-in details fully online so there's no need to call for entry code. 2. Have furniture covers removed on the deck so guests don't have to remove them and then figure out where to put them as the deck area is pretty crowded. Other than that, we greatly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property to others! Points of consideration: If you have small kids or elderly relatives, please note that this property is only accessible via steep stairs. Further, if you have a large vehicle, parking may not be available as the driveway parking is quite limited in space and the street parking is often full as this property is very near to the beach.

Perfect San Diego Beach House

This house was wonderful for our family group of seven. It had indoor and outdoor spaces, plenty of seating, great views, and a rooftop deck where we watched the sun set and the city lights come on. The neighborhood is quiet and at the north end of the boardwalk, so good for sleeping but close enough to everything that you can find loads of restaurants within a 5-10 minute stroll. Groceries are a 15 minute walk. The owner lives downstairs and is super generous with her time, advice, and beach toys. We used her boogie boards and kid wetsuits and loved the outdoor shower. The furnishings and decor are much nicer than the average beach rental. This isn’t a party house. It’s a classy, well-loved, comfortable place for family or friend gatherings. We’d definitely come back and enjoy the beach again from this beautiful home.

July Family Stay

The location and porches do not disappoint! Just a short walk to the beach and boardwalk. Plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores nearby. The rooftop porch with gas fire pit is a great place to watch the sunset and fireworks from Sea World. Well stocked kitchen is also nice for cooking meals. Just an FYI, there is a coffee maker but no Keurig. Gelsons grocery, which is just minutes away, does have fresh ground coffee. Definitely would recommend this home if you want to be near the beach.

About the host

Hosted by Isabelle Piccini

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.
