Great ocean veiws, unfortunately we did not know there would be 20 young men below us?While the views are great and the property fully stocked with everything you need the property does need some TLC, and windows fixed since they are nearly all damaged and in need or replacement.We enjoyed the location and for the most part had a great time. Host was very responsive when we reported a leak from the ceiling but unfortunately was unable to fix it.

Condo was clean and welcoming, kitchen and dining room were very comfortable. Beds were uncomfortable and shower door and patio screen door come off tracks easily but didn’t impact our stay. Grill was a nice touch. Plenty of garbage bags and cleaning supplies to keep our stay fresh and clean. Spice rack was a nice amenity and plenty of cups and plates. Overall above average!

BEWARE! This property is NOT a house rental. It is a top floor apartment. There were many, noisy, annoying people with young children occupying the lower level. We would have never rented had we known from the listing that this was not the entire property. We paid a significant amount for a beachfront property not for a house converted into apartments. The listing presentation is a catfish scheme. The house has been divided into a top and bottom floor to be rented separately. Please list the property accurately. For shame. I would not rent this property again. The house is in dis-repair. The master shower is no bigger than a phone booth. One person can barely turn around. One side of the shower is not sealed or attached. There is a 1/2 sink and zero counter space. By no standard could this be defined as a “master bath.” So beware and know this is not a luxury beachfront property. It is a rundown home divided into at least two possibly more units.

hank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the property did not meet your expectations. We do want to clarify that the listing accurately describes the property in the very first sentence as the “upper level unit of a duplex.” The two units are attached, as is typical with a duplex, but they have separate addresses and are two separate properties. We also want to note that the bathroom countertops and shower sizes are represented in the listing photos, including photos of all three bathrooms, so guests can review the layout and size before booking. We understand that the home may not have been the right fit for your expectations, but we appreciate your feedback and will continue working to make the listing details as clear as possible for future guests.

Love the area! We have been coming for years and tried this new location for us. Beach view is awesome. You can see for miles each way. The main deck overlooks the lower rentals open deck and increased the noise level to our unit unbelievably. We were sent messages throughout our stay saying we were complained on for the noise level however it was the lower unit the whole time. Other then a a mini shower in the upper master bathroom the unit was clean and all amenities were were taken care of, towels and such.

Thank you for your thoughtful review Leroy! We’re so glad to hear you loved the area and those incredible beach views! It’s great that you were able to enjoy the scenery and that the home was clean and well-stocked with essentials. We do apologize for the confusion regarding the noise concerns during your stay. We understand how frustrating that must have been, especially if the noise was coming from a neighboring unit. We’ll be sure to review this with our team to adjust the sensitivity for this unit and help avoid any similar mix-ups in the future. We also appreciate your note about the upstairs primary shower and will take that into consideration as we continue to evaluate improvements to the home. Thank you again for your feedback, we truly appreciate it and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future!

The views were amazing along with the weather! The beds were very comfortable along with the furniture. It could have been cleaner bit it was ok. Also there was absolutely no kitchen extras as in foil or cooking oils etc but they warn you of that. Also there are no beach chairs or toys so you need to prepare for that. It’s a great location with so many great restaurants within walking distance. Don’t miss the Lucadia farmer’s market on Sunday. It’s great. Overall it was a wonderful trip and hopefully will be back.

The views on the property are breathtaking. Easy to see the sunset and there were so many surfers all day, very fun to watch. Very spacious living areas that maximize the view. The location was within easy walking distance of two beaches access stairs. Kitchen was well equipped with plenty of dishes/glasses for a large group. Off street parking was great. The whole area felt very safe. Property had beach towels, but no other beach items to use. Some beach chairs or a boogie board or two would have been a nice option. Lots of good food and coffee nearby. Not much in the way of shopping, but no biggie. Primary bedroom was huge with amazing views. The beds were very comfortable. The primary shower was very small and the showerhead hit the wall in way that was hard to use. The only other downside was that there are two units on the property. So if the people in the other unit are out of their patio you are right above them and basically can hear everything. Overall a great property with amazing views.

San Diego beach-front property. The view and cool breeze is amazing. We stayed for 8 nights. It’s a short walk to the neighborhood surfers beach or you can drive to Moonlight in less than 5 minutes, where there are smaller waves, a snack bar, playground and showers. We walked to dinner and coffee shops. The house came with all of the necessary amenities. I like that there were 3 full bathrooms.
