The Whale Ocean View Pacific Beach
Take in the view of the ocean from your private patio space. This two-bedroom, one bath San Diego vacation rental located on Law St. in Pacific Beach is just a rocks throw away from the beach.
Located just steps away from Pacific Beach and a few minutes' drive from La Jolla, this cozy Pacific Beach vacation rental sleeps 4 in beds but can accommodate 5. There's something for the whole family, including SeaWorld San Diego just a 12 minute drive away - you could practically bike there! Crystal Pier is just a 5 minute walk on the boardwalk, or continue the walk down to Mission Beach and Belmont Park. There are plenty of restaurants and shops to check out along the way if you choose.
Enjoy watching the sunsets from your private patio after a long day at the beach. The living room has large windows to really bring in the natural light and make it nice and bright inside. Relax on the leather couch and/or loveseat while watching your show of choice on the 50" TV, or stream a movie on Netflix using your own private wifi network.
The kitchen has nice granite countertops, gas stove, dishwasher and all the other appliances you need to cook from home. The kitchen also has dishes, pots, pans, utensils etc. If you don't have something you need, just ask us about it.
Both bedrooms have a queen-size bed so four people can comfortably stay here. Each room has two windows that let in plenty of sunlight during the day, and one has a small flatscreen TV.
The bathroom has a matching granite countertop and tub/shower combo where you can wash off all the sand after a long day of surfing, swimming, or playing. This home also has a garage to park your smaller size rental car (full size SUV's will not fit inside the garage - dimensions are 93 inches wide, 15.5 feet long, 83 inches tall). You will also find boogie boards, sand toys, beach chairs, and wagon to use during your time at the beach.
There's a grill and extra seating in the front shared patio space.
No smoking is allowed inside any of our properties.
This house (like most in the area) does not have air conditioning.

The location of this property is the best. And being upstairs you catch the breeze off the ocean, and the view at sunset is beautiful. Second time I vactioned at this address and there'll be a third.
This was a last minute booking and we could not have been happier with our accommodations. The place was immaculate- a rare find at the beach! The views of the surf from our private deck were just what we hoped for. The host was responsive to our questions and we encountered no problems during our visit.
Perfect location with beautiful views. The unit is dated but met our needs and we were able to fit our rental in the garage when street parking wasn’t available.
Wonderful place to stay. Cozy and close to the beach. Would tottaly stay here again.

Great location
Overall, our stay was pleasant. The apartment is located in a beautiful location. We did have some issues with the electrical which caused our power to be out overnight into the next afternoon.
We stayed for over a week. Loved drinking our morning coffee looking and listening to the waves. Easy walk to the beach, our girls learned to surf which was awesome!
Excellent vacation and view! Nice and bright space. Super clean! Excellent communication with management. Can’t beat the location. The outside private patio area was perfect!
We love this place. This is our third time here and will come back next year. This is our beach throughout the year so living here for a week is a treat for the family.
Had a question shortly after settling down, immediate response from Meghan. Property was 1 min walk to beach, comfortable beds, and walking distance to restaurants, etc. Very pleased with the accommodations, and would recommend to friends
We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing at The Whale. The location can't be beat, and Megan was so helpful with anything that needed attention. We loved grilling on the property and dining at the outside tables that provided a gorgeous view of the sunset. I would gladly stay there again.
The host promptly responded to housekeeping issue. I have stayed at this property several times and it has been a pleasant experience every time. This place is peaceful and and steps away from the beach.
Great location and view. We were comfortable and things went smoothly. We would totally stay here again if just my husband and I but with just one bathroom and four people I'd go bigger next time but great people to work with.
Nice place but the pictures are a little deceptive
Overall we had an amazing time and the location was perfect. Only bad part was the garage door didn't lock and it was way smaller than it appeared to be in the pictures.
