The place was amazing! Home away from home. They had everything we needed. It's the ultimate beach location for a family to visit San Diego with direct access to the beach and lots to do. We'll be back!

Great stay!

We stayed a month at this property and overall had a great experience. The location is excellent...a few steps from the beach. It is close to Belmont Park which isn't too busy in the winter, but does mean there is a little more walking and gathering traffic around. We liked the energy and the cute restaurants and coffee shops nearby. We did have a couple of issues with the property but Drift responded immediately. This property is third floor, but we viewed the steps as part of our workout each day. I highly recommend and would stay here again for sure.

PERFECT LOCATION AND OCEAN VIEW

Condo is perfect size, furnished well and clean. You can people watch and see dolphins from the balcony as well as the glassed tv room, walking distance to markets, parks, restaurants and bars. Tandem parking is a plus but our Tundra extended cab took up the extra foot we needed for the second vehicle we took so we had to park that one elsewhere. We will be back (with two CRVS) as this condo met all our needs and then some.

Family vacation

Enjoyed our stay with 1.5yr old. Great views. Property mgr is highly responsive and great. Great location. There were some ants on the floor by windows upon arrival but after calling mgmt, they came out immediately. AC unit didn’t get super cool, which was sort of annoying given the price. Listing mentioned it had high chair but it did not have that. Interior of rental is nice. Expensive but overall a good trip. Very walkable location. No beach toys or chairs etc but to be fair we’re not advertised.

Exceeded Expectations

We booked this lovely apartment after another fell through at the last minute. I am so thankful we found it. While it definitely is expensive, the space and view made it worth it. Our two teens needed their space after being couped up in one cruise cabin! The place is large and perfect for families. We loved the a/c. 2 of our family members are always warm. While we would have loved to have lowered the a/c temp beyond 72, the multiple floor fans helped keep them cool. The view and location are great! We watched surfers and dolphins in the morning. I can imagine the sunsets are amazing from the balcony. We didn't get to see one with the "June Gloom" being a reality. The home is right next to Belmont Park, which was a huge plus for families. Easily walkable in 5 minutes. My only issue, which isn't a management issue, but more of a "know before you go" thing, is the garage. We shared the garage with 3 other SUV's. It made parking really tricky and stressful. Have someone guide you in.

Wonderful Stay

We stayed here as a family and loved it! The communication from the property manager was excellent and they set proper expectations so we knew what to pack. We used the coffee maker, beach chairs, umbrella, football and beach towels. They also provide portable heaters (great for the evenings) and fans. The location was really great. The proximity to restaurants and rides/mini golf was a plus! Lastly, my daughter left some birthday gifts and the property manager texted me to let me know, and sent them back promptly. There was a fee involved, but we didnt mind. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location and fantastic views!

Loved the condo. Very nice and spacious. Enjoyed the views and sunsets were amazing from the balcony. I read the reviews ahead and made sure I got a smaller rental car. I thought I was a master at parking until the last 2 days when I had another car next to me! It is a tight fit but very nice to have a garage space. Kitchen was great and had everything I needed. Thanks for a great stay!

Wonderful View!

Our stay at this home was awesome! We did not want to leave the place. The front doors open up wide and let the cool breeze come though. The only thing that was unfortunate is that the elevator was not working, but I was able to carry our heavy bags up the stairs individually. But we were really happy with this home and location. i will definatly recomend it to friends and family.

Wonderful place and location

Location is spectacular, views are amazing… Loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean and waking up to watching dolphins jumping in the water. Excellent communication from the rental agency, beautiful home with nice amenities. Kitchen fully stocked with all of the cookware you would need. Garage is a tight fit so if you bring a car, don’t bring a big one.

We enjoyed everything about the stay here at this beautiful penthouse apartment. The bedrooms are spacious, the beds comfy, everything was clean, the kitchen very well stocked, the views fantastic. The only downside was the elevator, which doesn’t work, and getting heavy suitcases up three flights of stairs was a challenge for us.
