We enjoyed our stay very much at our house in Pacific Beach. The host was very accommodating, the rooms were spacious, kitchen more than adequate, and had a cute backyard for our dog.

This property was super convenient for everything we wanted to do in and around San Diego. Only difficult was in the parking spot. Grateful that they had one, but it’s a tight fit. Small SUV was the absolute biggest vehicle that would fit. Truly only a block from the beach, which the kids loved. I would absolutely stay here again.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear the location worked so well for your family and that the kids enjoyed being so close to the beach. We appreciate your feedback on the parking space—it’s definitely a tight fit, and we’ll continue to highlight that for future guests. We'd love to welcome you back anytime you're in San Diego!
We had so much fun staying here. The kids loved having their own rooms and bathrooms, and everything we needed was either there or within a five minute walk. The washer and dryer were incredibly convenient for our large family. Thank you!
Each upstairs bedroom has its own full bath in addition to the half bath downstairs. The bedroom downstairs has bunk beds and the living room couch pulls out, giving flexible space for families. Close to the beach, shopping, and restaurants.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear you appreciated the layout of the home, with its private full baths for each upstairs bedroom and the convenient half bath downstairs. We're glad the flexible sleeping arrangements worked well for your family. Being close to the beach, shopping, and restaurants is definitely one of our favorite features too! We hope to welcome you back for another stay soon.
The property was perfect for us: 2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 3 Littles fit into this 3 BR, 3 Bath condo very close to Laws Beach (Pacific Beach). The high use place is a little worn, but clean and priced accordingly.
My adult kids and grandson had a memorable time for the week, very clean, all cooking utensils, all beach necessities in the unit and was walking distance to all restaurants, stores and beach!! The only thing needed to bring was the cloths to wear!!! Great place 👌
We four enjoyed this homeaway, especially with the 2 master suites affording privacy and plenty of room. A two-block walk to the beach added the perfect end to our evenings in SoCal.

Great location
Location was great and matched listing. Cleanliness was not what expected
Dishes were dirty in Cabinets and carpet and steps caused tripping hazards. Hosted family of 6 for Thanksgiving and space was cramped

Thank you for your review and for choosing our property for your Thanksgiving gathering. We're glad you found the location to your liking and that it matched the listing.
We’re truly sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with cleanliness and the space. Your feedback regarding the dishes and carpets is concerning, and we’ve already addressed this with our cleaning team to ensure this does not happen again.
Thank you again for your review—it helps us improve. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again under better circumstances.
Location was perfect to walk to beach, restaurants and shops. We had a family of 8 which included 2 kids under 6. We fit perfectly. Anymore than 6 adults would mean someone would be on the top bunk. The only bump in the road was trying to stream a sporting event. It kept stopping and buffering. Not a big deal though when the beach is so close by.

Enjoyed the home. TV a bit difficult. Loved the location. Graduations were going on and got loud in the night a couple times. But not terrible.

This condo is in a great location in PB! The unit is a bit tired and not updated and photos don't reflect current state unfortunately. Some issues are just from dated space - poor water pressure and limited hot water and others are just lack of upkeep - rusted out bikes, broken beach stuff. Kitchen is a stand out for the equipment - great tools in the kitchen for cooking but be sure to bring basics like olive oil, spices, basic cooking supplies in that regard. Again, location is awesome but condo/apartment space feels tired and like a serial rental that could use some love and attention.
This house had nice updates, but it kinda felt like your grandma’s house. Everything was super clean, but old. Like the towels were well used/old, but clean…like at grandma’s house. The table in the kitchen is strange and made of metal so not great for kids. Places for eating is cramped, but was totally fine for us. The living area is small but has a really nice big couch. They have lots of games for kids. Super close wall to the beach and it was nice to have a parking space, which is located at the back of the entrance.

Pictures are not to be believed
Property needs major updating! Carpet looks original and worn out and filthy with carpet tack strips exposed. Pictures look great and don’t show the real condition of the property. They put rug down in living room to hide worn carpet.I would not recommend it to any family.
Very tight parking, hope you have. A compact car. Place is about a 5 minutes walk from the beach. The kitchen sink drain smelled like rotting fish when we arrived. The bikes that are available are very rusted, probably a tetanus shot waiting to happen. The back patio is small and a bit closed in. No view to speak of. As a place to lay my head down at night, it was perfect. I would probably choose a place with a little bit of a view.
My family and I had a great stay at this property. You can't beat the location, specifically the proximity to the beach. The check-in and check-out process was easy.
A couple of notes:
The home is a bit more dated than the pictures demonstrate, especially in the kitchen. None of this impacted our ability to cook meals.
Some of the beach equipment is worn and could be replaced. Specifically, chairs and seats on bikes were provided. It was great to have an umbrella we could use. You must bring a wagon to transport the chairs and other items.
The parking is tight, but street parking is available.
There is compositing, which is great for those who plan to cook a lot.
If you bring a pet, ask ahead of time about the cost. I was surprised about the cost of bringing my two small dogs, as the specific amount was not provided on the listing.

So glad you all enjoyed the stay and appreciated the feedback!
Very helpful to read the complete listing, under the amenity summary and in the policies it states: "Pet-friendly! (with additional pet fee, please contact us for details) "
We must always vet the pets for acceptance. For example; we may not be able to accommodate 3 Great Danes.
We have replaced the beach chair(s) that were getting sun worn and bike seats. We will check with the owner about getting a wagon which is helpful toting beach stuff.
With over 70 properties to choose from, whether The Ocean Awaits or another home, we hope you will be our guest again soon!
