The location was fantastic! Not only close to the beach and restaurants but also a grocery store. Kitchen was very well equipped and there was loads of stuff for the beach (chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, towels, etc). Absolutely loved that the sliding doors downstairs open up the entire width of the house so we had a lovely indoor/ outdoor experience.

I can’t say enough about this rental. We have been renting in Southern CA for years and this was a top tier experience. The house is even better than the pictures - the kitchen is not just furnished it is meticulously organized, bathrooms are clean and stocked with basic necessities, small touches like hampers in each room for laundry, beach chairs/towels provided, and extra clean linens made us feel at home and well cared for. Communication with the host was also excellent. Great location, great house, fantastic host. We can’t wait to return.

Perfect Beach Home

This property is 1.5 blocks to the beach. The kitchen has every utensil you could need, spices, and coffee filters. There was dishwasher soap, plenty of kitchen towels, dishwashing soap and a new sponge. There were lots of dishes and serving bowls too. The grocery store was a half block away and it had everything, including liquor. There is a CVS a block away. Restaurants and bars are very close by. The beds were all very comfortable with nice linens. The bathrooms had quality towels. There were 9 backpack beach chairs, an umbrella, beach toys and a beach wagon too. The 2 car garage was a bonus to have as street parking was limited over the holiday week but we really didn’t need a car at all. Both patios and the upper deck were nicely furnished. Look for the resident hummingbird on the back porch!

The house is in a perfect location for a family if you want access to all that San Diego has to offer. The beach, San Diego Zoo, Legoland, etc. The inside looks exactly like the pictures online, everything is clean and comfortable. The kitchen and bathrooms are very well stocked.

Great location and plenty of space

A lovely house with everything you need for a beach vacation. Appreciated the provided beach chairs, toys, and wagon, along with plenty of beach towels. Bedrooms on 3 different floors so you need to be prepared for lots of stairs! Perfect location, 2 blocks from Pacific Beach, 4 blocks from Mission Bay, 1 block from the grocery store and a pizza place just around the corner!
