Property: "Pacific Sands #1012"
BOOKING PROCESS Once we received your request to book, we will email you our rental agreement for an electronic signature. Once it has been filled out/signed by you and agreed to by us, we will then charge your credit card for the down-payment of 25% of the room rate and confirm your booking. No money will be held or charged from us until you filled out and signed our rental agreement.
CANCELLATION POLICY (PLEASE NOTE IT DIFFERS FROM VRBO) 25% of the room rate will be due upon reservation (once the rental agreement has been signed).

The house is a comfortable setting equipped with almost everything you could possibly need during your stay.

Great location - two houses from the bay and a few blocks from the Beach, shops and restaurants. Fun beach house vibe and backyard. Very responsive and helpful host.
Great location-no street to cross to get to the bay boardwalk and just a few blocks from the ocean. It was easily walkable for 3 generations (3yo and 6yo grandkids) and wagon provided for hauling beach chairs and umbrella. Lots of dishes, but not much silverware.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We are so glad you enjoyed the location and how easy it was for everyone to get around. It’s great to hear the wagon came in handy for your beach days too!
We appreciate your note about the silverware and will be sure to review and restock. Please always feel free to let us know during your stay if anything is missing. We are always happy to replace or bring items right away so you are fully comfortable.
Thanks again for staying with us. We would love to welcome you back anytime.
We had a great week at this adorable beach house in San Diego celebrating our daughter’s graduation from SDSU. There were 6 of us and there was plenty of space. The house is well appointed and clean. We loved the backyard and proximity to the bay. We walked each day and each night when we walked to dinner. This is a quiet neighborhood and not a “party” beach scene which is what we like. The garage is fully stocked with beach stuff, chairs and bikes. We didn’t really use those but they are available. The house is very comfortable and it was a treat to stay for the week. Will be back!
Great property close to everything. Well appointed, clean home. Very modern/updated appliances. Kids has a blast. Also, amazing beach gear.

Great vacation home!
Wonderful home base for a San Diego vacation. The home had everything we could need. Very clean, plenty of bikes and skateboards, and a fantastic location.
Always enjoy staying here with friends and family. This is our 5+time staying here and always enjoy the beach/bay and the toys the house provides. Can’t wait to book again.
Great place for my family of 8 including grandparents. Will stay here again. It was really nice having access to all the beach equipment in the garage.
Stayed here with two kids ages 6 and 8. The location and peacefulness of the property is incredible. Very clean house, close proximity to everything. incredible views and nice and quiet. Will def stay again!
The house had everything you needed or wanted for beach. Awesome. We had a little rough start but the issue was resolved immediately, thanks to the team.
This house is very comfortable inside and outside. Basically on the bay and only 3 blocks from the ocean beach. The house is nicely stocked including a garage full of bikes, surfboards etc. We will come again.
This house was so wonderful to stay in. Plenty of space and sleeping options for our family of 5. The yard and toys in the garage were so appreciated on our times were just hung out at the house. Rental company does a great job with communication, stocking the house, and cleanliness.
Lovely home just steps from bayside beach and walk. Great for our young grandchildren. Fireworks at Sea World viewed from living room each night. A real treat for the little ones. Nice backyard and large family room. Garage had lots of fun toys and bicycles.
Exactly as pictured and described on VRBO. The location is perfect and the house is very well appointed. This rental is perfect for a family with kids or teenagers. The garage is FULL of awesome beach equipment including bikes, boogie boards, surfboards, sand toys, etc. The beds were comfortable, all the linens were clean and having an outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach was awesome. Enjoy the Seaword fireworks from the front porch or from the bay. BBQ with your family in the courtyard and load up a wagon and head to the beach! Definitely recommend and will definitely be back.
A wonderful location! The "toys" in the garage were often used by us. It was easy to walk to the ocean side which was great beause there is NO parking there. You could tell that the proptery was decorated and landscaped by a professional. Very nice!
Great one story house close to Mission Bay. Lots of extras which was a plus. Beach chairs, bikes and games for all ages. Kitchen is well stocked and departure list was minimal. We would definitely look into booking again should we vacation in the area in the future. Everything we planned was very close and convenient. The SD Zoo, La Jolla, USS Midway, whale watching tour and of course, the bay and beach. Thanks for sharing your home.
Stayed for a week with family. House is 30 yards to Mission Bay and a sandy beach. Home is well appointed except for lack if wifi in the master bedroom. A problem I think will be solved in the future. Nice size property with lots if water toys, although is various degrees of condition. Had a great time and would rent it again.
Everything was good with the property. The carpet in the family room is a bit worn out. Bathroom toiletries were sparse. Other than those 2 issues, the property is very close to mission beach.
