Nice Condo

The condo was cozy just enough space for our small family of four. The private jacuzzi was a great time at the end of the day. Lots of local spots to eat or grab a drink and the beach was walking distance which was also nice.

Great location and space!

My husband and I stayed for a week to visit our first grandchild. The location is close to everything you need in PB and a short ride to La Jolla, which I always like to visit. The space was perfect for the two of us and we used the seating area outside every morning to have our coffee, which by the way there are plenty of good coffee shops (like Java Earth) close by. Of course, the is a coffee machine and coffee provided, but we liked walking to get our coffee every morning.The space is clean and gives you everything you need. I would definitely stay there again!

Great location for a quiet surf vacation

We stayed for a week and absolutely loved the location. The neighborhood itself is quiet, but offers great access to the beach as well as being an easy walk to Birdrock (coffee and wayfarer bread), and everything in PB. If you have bikes its a perfect ride to La Jolla or Mission Beach. While the place itself was as described, we did have trouble checking in, and there was some animal fur on pillows and blankets in the space.

Great location with hot tub and garage parking

The apartment was in a great location and we especially enjoyed the hot tub and having a garage to park in. The kitchen needs updating but for the price, you can’t beat it. We would definitely stay here again.

A real Gem

My wife and I stayed here for s couple weeks this winter. The location is great, a quiet neighborhood north of the main action in Pacific Beach. But there were also several great bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. The apartment is cozy, but perfect for two people. Kim was very responsive when we had a glitch and it was cleared up quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location and host!

We really liked this place. It was so simple to check in and out, and we were in a very central location. I loved the use of the hot tub! It’s not super private but the people nearby were not nosey or loud. We really liked it!

Perfect spot for our little family

This place worked great for us with our 1.5 year old, while exploring San Diego. Plenty of walkable restaurants, surf beach to walk to in the mornings, sand beaches to hang at all day only one mile away. The spot was clean and had a comfy couch and the hot tub was a nice addition that we didn’t expect to use much, but with the cold weather that came in, was much appreciated!
