The large galley kitchen is fully equipped for making a gourmet meal or simply packing a picnic lunch for the beach. The grounds of the building contain a barbeque area, outdoor shower, beach toys and boogie boards and bike racks.

Just okay. A bit rundown, the bed was very soft and uncomfortable. Neighbors let their dogs run about off leash and made some noise. On the plus side:it is close to the beach and parking was not as bad as expected.I wouldn’t go again.

We have stayed always upstairs but this time we tried downstairs and it worked out perfect. Love these apartments. So close to the beach and shops. Very clean with beautiful landscaping. The only thing was there was no gas to BQ so that bummed us out. Nice to be able to walk to everything. Highly recommend.

Comfortable and Cozy

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of staying at this cozy apartment. It is just as described, and literally a block from the ocean, and within walking distance of many restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Quiet and friendly neighborhood and would definitely stay here again.

Great Location in Pacific Beach!

I was in San Diego for a short stay and loved the location of this property. You are steps away from Pacific Beach. There are tons of restaurants, shops, and bars within walking distance. The property management were super responsive and extremely helpful! I 100% would stay here again!

Sweet spot close to the beach!

Loved this apartment - it was well equipped and had what you needed. It was just a few 100 feet from the ocean walkway and close to lots of restaurants but it was quiet on the street. Nothing fancy and well worth it!

Perfect Location

You cannot get a better location. Just steps from the beach, and perfectly set back in a quiet small condo community. The host was always quick to respond and helpful with anything needed. The unit is quaint, clean and has all necessary amenities.Street parking was also easy to come by.

Great place to stay close to the beach

Great location! Lots to eat and do in the area. FYI, since it is within 1/2 block of the beach parking is difficult during the day and there isnt designated parking.

You can’t beat being so close to the beach! A spot if you’re looking to be close to some bars etc (we weren’t hence only 4 stars for that). Communication with the host and property manager were prompt and helpful!

Party beach

Check in was quick and easy. Property was nice. Walking distance to all the bars and beach areas. The apartment was perfect for my wife and I. The only issue was parking. There were alot of campers on the street, they took up all the parking.

north pacific beach haven

the location of this property is outstanding...a block to the beach and away from all the noise of pacific beach bars..etc. Megan Rose was outstanding in assisting with check in, check out and any inquires....called back in minutes. The condo is not brand new so expect some history..cracks in walls or peeling paint...still very charming...perhaps 4 new cushions on the bed as they were pretty lumpy. Kitchen was so well appointed..everything you need! All in all would definetely stay there again!

ok place to stay for a weekend, very close to beach.

The apartment was just ok. My husband is a general contractor and saw many needed repairs to be done inside and especially the outside of the building, its been neglected. The biggest asset is the location, walking distance to the beach. Parking on street, but if you leave good luck finding a place when you return, we were lucky.
