The unit was absolutely lovely and the views even more so! Loved the access to beach and miles of walking/ jogging path.

Great location next to the bay. Great walking around the bay and to the ocean. Super clean and nice remodel. Try Olive’s Cafe (25 minute walk) for breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

The view of the bay is wonderful, we spent every morning drinking coffee on the balcony. The property was clean but has some pretty bad carpet stains in the bedroom. Overall a great place on the bay, would definitely stay again.

Perfect getaway for some stress reduction. The property had everything we needed -- including a great view of the bay. Location was convention for shopping, dining and just wandering around. Will definitely be back.
This condo really was great!! We will be back. Everything for cooking was there. Bed was comfortable. The balcony was small but all we needed.
Made for a great week!! Thanks :)

Beautiful! Great location on the beach
We stayed here with our teenage daughters. The location can't be beat. Loved watching paddle boarders and windsurfers on the bay. The paved boardwalk is perfect for riding bikes, jogging, walking, etc. It is also close enough to walk to the ocean side beach. The condo is very nice! The bed, couches and chairs are all super comfortable. Beautiful breezes when you open the slider to the balcony overlooking the water. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location to our children. Good view, close to walking and biking trail. Comfortable. Only stained and worn furniture and carpet.
Only noise from outside but minimal.
Overall good location for a couple.
Management responsive.

Entertaining views of the dogs who frolic on beach every morning
The location was perfect. We had a gorgeous view of the bay. The unit was exactly as pictured. We appreciate all of the care we received. Management quickly responded with someone who figured out what we were doing wrong when using the Spectrum cable. The unit was spectacular and extremely clean. San Diego was a real treat. Hope to come back again.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the stunning bay view and that the unit met your expectations. It's great to know our team was able to assist promptly with the Spectrum cable. San Diego is indeed a gem, and we're glad it made your stay memorable. We'd love to welcome you back anytime. Safe travels, and see you soon!
This was our favorite stay of all VRBOs! The location was impeccable - right on the bay with incredible views, people watching of activities, sunsets, etc. The weather was 75-78 degrees most days, so we opted for the portable AC unit in the bedroom and were glad we did. It would have been manageable without it, but we like to sleep cold. Property management was very responsive. The bed was ultra comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed, bathroom stocked with towels; it was fantastic. Only thing we didn’t need to pay for was the pack n play, because it turns out there was already one in the closet. Overall great stay!!

Wow! Thank you for your kind words and for the 5 star rating. We are very happy to know that you enjoyed your stay with us and this is your favorite stay of all VRBO's. We are looking forward to hosting you again soon!
We always stay on the other side of the Bay in a little cove off El Carmel across from the rowing club and have observed all the activity in the larger part of the Bay so booked a condo on the other side. Joey's RIviera Villa was the perfect location...property management team goes overboard to make sure access to the property is easy, they provide carts to help move your belongings to your condo, there's a secure elevator and the garage is completely secure as well. The condo was comfortable, had plenty of amenities, very clean, the view spectacular! Will go back again in a heartbeat.

Thank you for your review! We are thrilled to hear of your enjoyable experience in our home!
The apartment was spacious and comfortable. The location is excellent! It was generally quite clean; there were exceptions. The property owner is doing a poor job of maintainance: window shades, bathroom doors, bathroom light switches, paint touch-up, entertainment cable routing . The "electric grill" is Mickey Mouse!
Awesome location, walkable to many attractions & restaurants. Beautiful view of the Mission Bay beach from the 2nd floor patio. Recently remodeled unit is very comfortable with new kitchen, and garage parking was a plus.
Check-in late at night was a little challenging. All the necessary information was contained in my orientation package, but attempting to follow printed instructions, locate lock boxes & keypads in a new-to-me place late at night made the check-in process less than 5-stars.
The property management company (Nancy's Vacation Rentals) was very responsive when the unit's electronic door lock failed late Friday night. Their team managed the problem and ensured my stay was minimally impacted. I will absolutely be renting from NVR on my next stay in San Diego.
