Great spot relative to the beach. Centrally located between Pacific Beach and Mission Beach. Not too far from La Jolla. We have two small children 10 and seven. And didn’t feel cramped. Garage fit compact SUV. Property was clean. Plenty of beach towels and toys to play with at the beach. Boogie boards, shovels, etc. very positive experience.

This place is accurately priced for the stay. The location is perfect a block to the beach and there are extra boards, chairs etc for use. The beds were comfortable and very clean, washer and dryer in the garage for use. The entire apartment was very clean and supplied upon arrival and communication was the best I have ever had by a host. Be aware there is one very small bathroom. The parking is tricky, garage shared by other guest, the host is clear about that. The street parking usually does not have open spots and if there are the hours are limited on when you can park your vehicle. Also, the owner of the unit behind the garage parks his white small suv directly behind the garage making it even more difficult to pull in and out of the garage.

Stayed here for a week with my 4 kids. This is a great little beach cottage. The cottage met all our needs, close to the beach, stocked with everything we needed for our stay, including surfboards so the kids didn’t need to rent them. 100% recommend!

Visiting from Colorado, it was great to have a location so close to the beach. Just three houses away and you are there. We appreciated having beach chairs and umbrellas available which saved us from renting. The kitchen facilities were great for breakfast and a few meals. The air conditioning worked great, and the host was very accommodating with additional needs we had. We loved the location in Mission Beach, and it was very easy to get to activities like Seaworld, a Whale watching tour, and see kayaking in La Jolla.We would definitely recommend this location for your stay.

Our family of four was really disappointed with our stay. First, the cleanliness of the place (and especially the bathroom) is really poor. Fixtures and finishes were dirty/grimy. They have clearly not had anyone do a deep cleaning or more than a surficial cleaning of this property. Lots of rust on plumbing fixtures. Our second issue is that the upstairs rental unit is incredibly loud. There was a family with a very young child above us and it was pretty unbearable. We are not overly sensitive to sound but this was atrocious. I spoke with the family and they were very gracious. We had young kids at one point so I understand the challenge and don't blame them one bit. The place has car-decking style floors and they are unforgiving, acoustically.I would generally overlook all of these issues and never issue a poor review. However, I brought up the issues and the responses were not satisfactory. The photos paint an image of a quant beach adjacent bungalow but really it's just a run down quasi-basement apartment. There was new towels so that was one plus!

Great location. Condo was clean. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. Plenty of clean towels to use.Garage was small and tricky to get SUV in snd out of. Would have been helpful to have an outside shower/hose to rinse off with after being at the beach. Great place to stay and vacation.

Hi Cynthia,
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the location, cleanliness, and well-stocked kitchen—great to know the space worked well for your vacation. The garage dimensions are noted in the listing, but we understand it can be a tight fit for larger vehicles. We also appreciate the suggestion about an outdoor rinse area—it’s a helpful idea and something we’ll take into consideration for future improvements.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you the best in your future travels.

We loved the stay here. Property management was amazing and checked in on us throughout the stay! Easy location right to the beach!, and easy access to Beaumont park which is about a 15-20 minute walk, same with pacific beach. Nice little grocery shop right around the corner for necessities. Only down fall was a few roaches we found living in the WiFi router, but that’s all we saw. Beds were comfortable and water for the shower was great. Would stay again
30 seconds from mission beach. 15 mins from SD Zoo and 8 mins from Seaworld. Host has great communication.Great location. Property is a bit on the older side but has everything you need. Very small garage

We’re glad you enjoyed the fantastic location and found our communication helpful! Being steps from Mission Beach and close to top attractions like the San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld makes this a great spot for a getaway.
As noted in our listing, the property has a classic charm and is well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The garage is compact, as shown in the amenities, but we’re always happy to provide parking tips to help guests make the most of the space.
We appreciate your feedback and would love to host you again in the future!

First off I would like to start by saying the host was not the issue. Communication was great and they tried to accommodate the issues! I don’t know where all the good reviews came from but this place was the most disgusting place I have ever stayed in!!! The pictures are either AI generated for decor and etc or when they first started renting it out! If I could post pics I would! Rust all over the place, railing, closets, doors and etc. All the blinds in living room and bedrooms were broken. We had to cover holes with paper towels. They ordered new blinds for us but never put them in while we were there. Bathroom door was filthy! Shower cracked and moldy, mold all around bottom of shower, walls cracked and moldy at bottom of door ways, had to request mattress topper for pull out couch as springs were popping through. Mattress cover on couch was stained, bathroom sink was disgusting, floors were extremely dirty, had to wear shoes in shower, no extra bedding like stated, washer and dryer in garage area that was dirty and creepy, parking is horrible… it was just the worst part of our trip unfortunately. I tried to get a refund the day we got there and get something else but they wouldn’t promise a refund so I couldn’t book something else and pay double! Very very very disappointing!
