Location, location, location! Cute place, but very small and ideal for just one. Photos are mildly misleading in implying. There may be more than one room. Otherwise great experience love that term Lien beach is only two blocks away and all of the toys and gear is ready to use and be shared. Thank you so much!

COCKROACH1/5 starsOn night 4 of our stay, we found a cockroach in the kitchen sink. This made the sink unusable for dishwashing as required by the house rules, and raised broader concerns about the property’s pest control and overall cleanliness. We left the property that same night, ending our stay early.We reached out to the host directly about the issue and received no response.Pest control in a kitchen is a non-negotiable baseline for any rental property. A host who goes completely silent after a guest documents a sanitary violation in the kitchen is not someone equipped to manage a short-term rental responsibly. We would not return to this property and strongly caution others before booking.

The studio is exactly that, a studio with a small kitchen. We have a small fridge and freezer along with a small stove. We have great pics of all. Furniture is quite nice with a Casper mattress, fold out Futon couch and small table and chairs. We also have a private outside front area along with a washer/dryer outside shower and back sitting area. It’s an amazing value in an amazing area.

This was such a cute little studio with a great location. My dogs and I walked down to the beach each morning, and then to get coffee. Great location with night life not too far, while being very peaceful. I would definitely go back with my pups!

I honestly did not know what to expect when I booked this studio based on the pictures, but I am so glad I did. The space was actually not that small as I had thought- It was the perfect space for my little one and I. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The studio was well kept and was in a nice residential quiet neighborhood and only two blocks away from the beach. Also, we never had any issues finding street parking at all! Would definitely book here again :)!

Great Location!

Although not the most private situation, Tourmaline studio made for a great vacation. The space is comfortable for two people and super affordable. Boogie boards, bikes and beach supplies were excellent to have around as well. We will be back. Thanks Richard and Tiffany!
Response from VrboOwner on 31 March 2020
I'm happy you and your hubby enjoyed your stay, Angie! I'm happy you made great use of the bikes and close proximity to all the restaurants and shops. I don't think you drove your car the entire week! It was great to see you go out for your morning runs along the beach, and you really got into the active Southern California lifestyle. You also took advantage of the cool ocean breeze: opening both front and back doors allowed you to really get the fresh ocean air coming through the studio. I'm sorry about the extra activity going on during your stay as we remodeled the back unit, but that is all over with now. We hope to see you again soon, come down and escape the cold Portland weather in beautiful San Diego!

DREAM Rental Stay Experience

Rental was closer to the beach than we originally thought, location is an A! Bikes were super helpful, just had to call the maintenance man to adjust the height of the bike seats. Rental was fully stocked with the essentials, if we would have known we would’ve packed less (shampoo, conditioner, soap, ice cube tray, cooking tools, reusable containers,etc). Overall a 10/10 experience!

We really enjoyed our time here! Clean space, perfect for the two of us to relax after some busy day exploring the area and doing wedding events. The nice walk to the beach was a great way to start or end the day; we didn’t end up getting to use the beach equipment but they looked to be in good shape. Kitchen is the perfect size for reheating leftovers or making small meals, and was well stocked with things we needed. It was a perfect location to get to the airport/downtown SD area to do museums and the zoo, and get up the coast to La Jolla area. We loved being able to walk to several restaurants for breakfast or dinner when we were back in the area. Parking on the street can be busy on good surf days and/or weekends, but we never had to walk more than a block or so. We felt very safe walking anywhere in the area and neighborhood. Highly recommend this place for a couple looking to enjoy a wonderful beach vacation!

Location!

The Tourmaline studio was a perfect choice for my family's stay in San Diego. For two adults and two small dogs it was a great space and perfect location!! Close walking distance to the beach and multiple cafes, bars, shops, etc. on a quiet side street. Bonus backyard shower/sink which came in handy after beach days and to bathe the dogs after they rolled around in the sand! Space adequate for two and our furry family! Had a great time, thank you!!

Cute little studio. Best aspect is location to beach and is in quiet neighborhood. Free use of bikes, boogie boards, and beach chairs is awesome. Microwave wasn't working and despite emailing owner, no one ever came to check it out. Otherwise great stay for your money.

Hi We are so glad you had a great time. We fixed the microwave the same day you called us and left you a note on the table. Maybe you didn't see it? I am sorry you didn't get to use the microwave. It was actually just unplugged. Again we are glad you had a great time and hope to see you next year! Thanks!

The unit is very nice. The address can’t be seen from the street. The check in process was horrible. The owner and her husband yelled at me over the phone because I went to the wrong unit and disturbed the other tenants. They told me to apologize to THEM (owners) or they would cancel my booking. Very rude couple. They did have bikes but the tires were flat.

Very false and unkind review. This guest went inside another house she knew was not her unit and scared our guests next door. We managed to work it out with our guests but did ask her to apologize for the extreme behavior. I wouldn’t recommend this person to stay in a unit you own.

Perfect for a weekend getaway.

This little place was exactly what they advertised it to be. It’s little, but perfect for a single person or couple wanting to get away for a few days. The only thing that I’d recommend is getting there VERY EARLY on a week day if possible for parking. You must park on the street, and there is terrible parking availability close to the property unless you get there when people are leaving for work. With that written, once you park, everything you need is within walking distance! I highly recommend ‘Latitude 32’, a little bar and grill right down the street.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Norwood

Host profile image
My name is Richard Norwood and I built my first vacation rental in 2011. Since then, I have acquired more and more rentals, and have perfected every unit to be exactly what travelers hope for on their vacation. I professionally design each unit and fully stock each unit with all necessary kitchen supplies, beach gear, and comfortable bedding. My hundreds of five star reviews will attest to the fact that I know exactly what you need to have the perfect vacation. I am always updating and improving as well, and my background in home remodeling means that any issue will be addressed and fixed immediately. I have built a great team of people that will ensure that your vacation runs smoothly. You can be assured that you will get a quality rental when you choose one of my places.

Why they chose this property

This was a studio apartment and I decided that the location was so fantastic, that I wanted to spend the money and make the apartment a charming and beautiful place to have a beach get-a-way. I meet people all the time that get a hotel room is a sparse area of San Diego and have always thought how much more you could get for you money if you booked a Vacation Rental near the beach!

What makes this property unique

The location to the beach is amazing as well as the neighborhood setting. It is a perfect blend of the beach lifestyle, quiet residential feel, and proximity to everything PB has to offer!
