Thanks so much, Maryellen! We’re really happy you enjoyed your stay and got to experience all the cool spots around San Diego. Can’t wait to host you again for another great getaway with Bluewater Vacation Homes!
Great location close to Belmont Park, one alley off of the boardwalk, lots of stores and food close by. Even with all that, the condo is amazingly quiet. It is clean and comfy with plenty of space for 8 people. Loved the rooftop deck. The kitchen is stocked with new utensils, plates, pans which was nice. Easy communication with the hosts.

Great spot if you want to be in the middle of all the fun and walking distance to almost everything you need. The layout was great for a family or large group and the amount of bathrooms was really nice to have. You couldn't beat the view from the deck either!

Property slept 9 adults no problem. Beds were super comfortable, kitchen is well stocked with utensils, and everything was very clean. Would definitely stay again. Propane was out for the fire pit but a quick text to the managers and they had one the next day.

Great family location, we enjoyed our stay. Very close proximity to the beach and amusement park. Fifth bedroom is only accessed through the bathroom or outside but perfect for our teenager. House was very clean. Tandem parking is extremely difficult to get in and out of.

Hi Ashley, Thank you for staying with us and for your 5-star review, it was our pleasure hosting you. Parking in the area is extremely tight and we try our best to provide assigned spots as best as we can accomodate. If you visit San Diego again, please consider taking advantage of Bluewater's repeat guest incentives, we would love to host you again in the near future!
Great, except for an AC issue, which we fixed with the manager’s help, and running out of propane for the rooftop fireplace. Also, parking was tight when the adjacent unit was also rented.
