This ground floor unit does not have a view of the bay, which I was aware of, but is literally several steps away from the sand and water. For the price, the unit is very nice and had everything we needed. Great location not far from all our favorite restaurants, bars and shopping. We could hear the people above us talking and walking but they were in bed at a decent time so it wasn't a problem for us at all.

Great location for small family!

Cute and clean property! We loved our stay with our 3 year old. The pull out bed was so comfortable, we hardly find this anymore! Located next to our favorite restaurants and a quick walk to the beach. AC worked wonderful and we were so grateful for it on the warmer days. We would definitely stay here again!

Quaint cute clean place

The place was cute, clean and walking distance to bay and beaches. Everything was great only downfall was no where to put your clothes as far as dresser or a table for suitcase just 1 big closet. Very clean and everything we needed was already there. Would highly recommend

Nice little beach house

The place was much smaller than we anticipated but other than that, it all looked like it does in the photo representation. The property management company was very easy to work with and responsive. Check in and out was a breeze. The private-feeling beach access was also very nice since the main walk could be a bit crazy. I would highly recommend this place for a couple or very small group of three.

The only item I would add is some larger pans and some spices- at least salt and pepper. Perhaps a small dresser for clothes - enjoyed our stay with added excitement of Super Moon and high tide!'

It was lovely

The only complaint I have was the parking, but that was more my misunderstanding. The parking is very tight & I have a large truck that barely fit. Next time I will rent a smaller car. Other than that, it was perfect & we really enjoyed our stay!

It's a beautiful little place on the Bay. We always have a view, but were ok with this unit. Loved the way it was decorated. There does need to be a chester of drawers for underclothing. Maybe a tall thin one in the bedroom. 4-5 drawers. We enjoyed our time in San Diego, as always. Thank you.

Cute place, small spaces

The place was as advertised, and the decor was comfortable and attractive. I missed not having any outdoor space to relax in. The bedroom was tiny with little space to move around in. And there was no good space to put your suitcases. The only place to put a toiletry/makeup bag was on the back of the toilet.

Great location but unit way too small. No where to put clothes, etc. Parking would be fine if everyone drove a small compact car instead of Expeditions and Land Cruisers which was the case while we weee there.

Great location

Location was great because it was pretty quiet, but yet steps from bayside path and just a 2 blocks from mission beach / oceanside.Listing says newly remodeled, maybe a few years ago, so would recommend taking that off of listing. Property managment company responded pretty quick. We were missing sheets the first night for the pull out bed but they dropped them off the next day once we asked. But once we asked for some sort of compensation for not having the extra bed that we needed they then lied saying that they were there and thanks for staying. So you dont always get what you pay for.

Cute place

I will start with the positives first. The place is very close to Bay and close walking distance to places to eat, coffee etc. It’s decorated very cute, and everything (furniture, dishes, etc) was clean. The communication was pretty good with the company. We enjoyed our stay, and it was nice having a clean kitchen to make breakfast in the morning, and not have to go out for every meal. The down sides-There were 4 of us and this place is not for 4 people. There was only one blanket Total for 4 adults and even after telling them that we only had one blanket no one brought us a blanket. There were only 2 coffee mugs, there were 4 towels total for 4 adults for 5 days. This place would be perfect for a couple. The other downside is there is no dresser so you will have to leave your stuff in your suitcase. There was a closet but it was filled with stuff from the owners so there was no where for us to put our stuff. Although it wasn’t dirty It is musty. It smelled very musty when we got there is got better opening the windows but our allergies got the best of us and we had to check out a day early. There were a group of girls staying above us and you can hear the people above you, so that was a problem when it was time to go to bed. I am writing this because if I would have read a review like this I would have picked a different unit from this company. They have a lot of other places to choose from so if you are a group of 3 or more you may want to look into a larger unit.
