Thank you, Andrew! We're thrilled you enjoyed the beach access and our communication. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another wonderful stay!
Property was exactly what was described and provided us a delightful time. The area is very walkable to beach, food, coffee and markets. The area is safe and full of beach life entertainment. I would recommend staying here.
The location was perfect, just a few steps away from the beach and plenty of food options nearby.
The kitchen has great appliances so dinner in was also easy to pull together.
This was such a nice vacation!
This place was exactly how it is described. The location is excellent for beach access. We were able to walk down to the beach multiple times a day. Everything you might need is within walking distance. We rented a car so it was nice to have a dedicated parking spot. The complimentary coffee and creamer in the fridge was a very thoughtful detail. The place also included beach chairs and boards for the beach which is so nice and thoughful. The beds were very comfortable. I am definitely booking this place every time i come back to San Diego.
Our stay here was great and the property managers were very helpful. Awesome location near the beach and all the bars and restaurants. There wasn't any hot water in the master bathroom when we arrived, but we coordinated with the maintenance team and they had it fixed within 24 hours.
The location of the property is great. You can walk to the beack, restaurants, bars and so many coffee shops. We would stay there again but will double check with the property owner to make sure the deadbolt is unlocked so we can get in without any problems.
Great location relative to beach and restaurants, etc. Nice facilities and great communications with hosts. Only big drawback is it is located across the alley from an adjacent hotel’s very noisy mechanical system (a/c or pool equipment?). Had to sleep with bedroom windows closed and used portable fans as white noise and to blow air in from open windows in other part of apartment (since it is not air conditioned).
I was thrilled to return to Pacific Beach and to discover this place in the neighborhood I know so well from 20 years of vacationing on the same block! Everything, and I mean everything, you want or need is within walking distance. The hosts were 100% responsive to all of my requests, typically within minutes. Looking forward to next year's stay already.
Property was clean, easy to get to and in a great location. It was just as listed. We had everything we needed. Easy walking to restaurants. I recommend this location and would book it again. Thanks for having coffee and creamer so we didn’t have to go looking for it earlier in the morning.

Overall very nice
Overall very nice. Minor musty odor in condo and the floors had enough sand on them to stick to your feet when barefoot. Great location and great price for the area.
