Ideal Location for a Beach Vacation

This property was clean and comfortable for a family of five. Best of all, it's about a 3 minute walk to a very nice beach, which made spending plenty of time relaxing by the ocean so easy, especially with younger children. We would definitely stay again.

Great location!

We really enjoyed the location of this property. Steps from the beach and lots of food/coffee options. The property manager was very easy to work with and helpful. The garage is small so don’t rent a large car or truck if planning to use the garage.

Family visit

We loved the location-close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Property managers were very responsive-the bulbs burned out in the bathroom and they were replaced promptly. The hot water and water pressure in the bathroom were awesome.

Really quit, cool, comfortable apartment. Great yard and surroundings. Good place to decompress. Had a tub draining problem which required call to property manager and then a plumber next day, but it was handled. Nice relaxing stay.

Great place for the bride's family

This was a beautiful apartment and in the center of everything. We enjoyed beach walks with my daughter and families coming in every day for the wedding. The place was super clean and well-appointed. We had both the bride and groom over for a get-to-know-each-other dinner. The place was perfect for that. Fabulous response from Megan the Property Manager when we could not figure out tv and she went above and beyond replacing lightbulbs. We will return!

Nice location but needs some love

This property is close to everything. Beach, stores, grocery store, restaurants ... but the place needs a little (a lot) of love and a very (very) good cleaning. Everything was there, but old and not always fully functional. There are 2 microwaves. One works, the other doesn't. The dishwasher is not attached and almost fell out every time we opened it. The stove top was not attached either. Be careful if you use it. The refrigerator bulb didn't work. The pillows are of poor quality. The couch smelled like wet dog. Celling fans are too noisy (and shaky) to be used at night. The windows need to be replaced. They are not solid. The outdoor common areas need a good cleaning and painting. Small details, but they make all the difference between a 4-star and a 3-star property. Note : there is no A/C.

Predominantly Positive

Pros: - Great location - Clean - Beach Toys/Chairs/Towels Provided - Super Responsive Property Manager Cons: - Our rental minivan did not fit in the garage and we purposely chose this property because it came with off-street parking. We had to try and find street parking for our entire stay. The garage will probably fit a small sedan but definitely not a minivan or SUV. I feel like they should be more transparent about the size of the garage in the posting, especially since it is the two-bedroom rentals that have access to the garages and therefore more people and likely a larger car. - The double sofa bed was more like a futon, not a sofa (it was not what is pictured), and it was broken upon arrival. The property manager responded quickly when I told her about it but there wasn't anything offered besides an air mattress with a hand pump. Given that two of my kids had to sleep on a broken and unstable futon instead of a sofa bed, as pictured and advertised, it would have been nice to at least receive some type of discount.

Convenient and quiet

Close to everything and had enough room for our family of 4. We enjoyed the quick walk to the beach, garage, and having my kids in their own beds. Lots of restaurants were just down the block. Overall worth it for a long weekend trip. The only snag we hit at check-in was the gate from the garage code wasn't given on our instructions, luckily it matched our front door code so we didn't have to send someone on a jog around. Also walking instructions to find the property were given from the front not the garage so we had to orient ourselves in the dark. The property is dated and kind of felt like staying with Grandma but with a bigger TV and new couch. Pillows that deflate to flat, not the most comfortable bed, and doors that stick due to years of painting. That being said it worked, was in a great location, and I'd stay here again. The kitchen had needs a good cleaning, bigger coffee mugs, and a baking sheet. The oven's seen better days but it worked. The dishwasher had an error code on it so we didn't even try. It was so nice to not worry about parking and just pull into the garage. We had a Nissan Altima that just barely fit if everyone on the passenger side got out before pulling in. Anything wider than that or my h longer wouldnt fit. It was worth it to have guaranteed parking. There's no light in there so be prepared.

We wanted a place within walking distance to the beach and were not disappointed! The apartment met all of our other needs as well - lots of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance, parking (garage is small but there is space to park in front of the garage), and quiet. Just a note: Apple maps took us to the other side of Mission Blvd.; Google maps got us to where we needed to be.

A good condo with a great location in pacific beach. Many restaurants are within walking distance and the boardwalk is very close, too! The host was very nice and responsive. Note that there is no AC and the property is a little bit on the older side. Consider bringing small extension cords as outlets are hard to reach in the room with the queen bed. Also, if you expect to need to do laundry, consider bringing your own detergent as there isn’t any provided.
