The lodge is in a perfect location. Close to the beach and restaurants. Richard kept communication easy and fast. I’ll certainly comeback here on my next trip.
Everything was very clear on good as expected for our two person stay. Only issue was the bike seats need some work and it may be difficult to squeeze in a third person.
The proximity to the beach, airport, and other points of interest make this a nice place to stay. It was perfect for 2 people who were looking to do some sightseeing before catching the Mexican Riviera cruise.
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!
Clean,kitchen was small but met our needs perfectly. Pet friendly was what we needed and accommodated us well. Place was smaller than expected but adequate for us two and a small dog. Love that it was only a couple blocks away from the beach with the most beautiful sunset. Thanks we hope we can enjoy this place again next year.
Great little place in an excellent location! Our only complaint was that the place had not been cleaned when we checked in, however, the owner quickly sent a team over to get it ready. Very responsive and an overall wonderful experience!
Property is kept up well, and in good order. It was clean, and had just what we needed, including the ability to have our dog with us. We enjoyed taking a walk on the beach each morning!
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 love being able to walk to coffee shops, grocery stores, convenience stores and the beach. I spent 3 lovely nights here.

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.
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!

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!

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!!
I was there for a tournament and the location was perfect, the commute was easy and direct. The neighborhood was quiet.
Parking was a challenge nightly but other than that my stay was great! We felt safe walking back to the house even when we had to park far away. Thank you.
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!

Walk to Beach.
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!
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.
